If you own a home in Orlando or anywhere across Central Florida, you already know what the weather does to your stucco or brick exterior Humidity, afternoon rain, and year-round warmth create perfect conditions for green staining, mildew, mold, and grime to spread across stucco and brick. A well-maintained home can look neglected within months.
At Tropical Window Cleaning Home & Commercial Services, we treat house washing as a chemistry-based, surface-specific service. The cleaning power comes from carefully chosen solutions and technician judgment, not aggressive pressure. Every property is different, and we adjust to the staining, the surface, and your concerns.
Before we touch anything, we want to understand what you are trying to achieve. Some exterior problems are biological staining that washes off with the right method, while others involve oxidation or paint failure that requires a different approach. We identify the difference upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Call us at (407) 324-9876 for an in-person estimate.
House washing typically starts at $195, with most jobs averaging around $350 depending on the property.
Pricing is based on several key factors:
Typical job timing:
We offer a 15% new-client discount for first-time customers, and this discount can apply across bundled services like roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, or other exterior work.
Stucco is one of the most common finishes in Central Florida. Most green organic staining cleans off with the right approach. We use a diluted solution, start with the weakest strength likely to work, and strengthen only if needed. If stucco has uneven coloring from oxidation or paint failure, we identify that during the estimate and explain what results you can realistically expect.
Brick collects the same mildew, mold, grime, and green staining as stucco. We rely on technician judgment, correct chemistry, and the least aggressive effective approach first. Standard house washing typically uses soap, water, and sodium hypochlorite, with exact strength adjusted based on the job.
We clean vinyl, Hardie board, and metal siding. When discoloration is caused by oxidation rather than biological buildup, we identify that during the estimate so you understand what washing can and cannot accomplish before any work begins.
Wood and stained wood require extra care. Stained wood, decorative ceilings, and sensitive front doors can be damaged by bleach-based solutions. If the issue is dirt or bugs rather than mildew, we may skip stronger chemistry and use soapy water only or even just water.
House washing involves protecting the areas around your home. Plants can be harmed by direct leaf contact or chemical exposure reaching the roots, and we account for both. Outdoor furniture, cushions, and decorative items also need proper handling, which is why prep and protection steps are built into the service.
Our primary differentiator is consistent, high-quality results. We show up, do the job right, and make sure you are satisfied.
We prefer in-person estimates because the visit allows us to meet you, understand your priorities, and explain how we will protect your property while clarifying realistic results.
We have used cleaning chemicals for 35 years. That experience shows in safe chemical handling, plant protection, and judgment around delicate finishes.
We begin with the least strength we believe will get the job done, then strengthen only if needed. This approach means less risk to plants and less exposure for your property.
Protecting vegetation, wood surfaces, furniture, and delicate areas is built into every job through plasticking, watering down plants, covering vegetation, and chemistry adjustments based on surface sensitivity.
We are direct about what house washing can and cannot address. If oxidation or paint failure is the issue rather than cleanable buildup, we tell you during the estimate so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed.
Our service experience is designed around homeowner communication, trust, and satisfaction. After every job, our office follows up to verify everything went well, collect payment, and request a review.
We are veteran-owned and operated, and A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau.
Our professionalism extends to how the service is performed and presented. We avoid reckless-looking roof imagery and position ourselves as a serious, safety-conscious contractor.
We meet you in person, walk your property, and discuss realistic results. If the issue looks like oxidation or paint failure rather than cleanable buildup, we tell you upfront so you can decide how to proceed.
Before the wash begins, we identify anything needing protection, including plants, furniture, cushions, and outdoor decor. We might ask you to move items you are concerned about, or the crew can handle it.
Before equipment starts, we prepare your property by plasticking over plants or doors, moving furniture, and watering down sensitive plants. We use a diluted solution and start with the weakest strength likely to work.
We soft wash your home using commercial-grade pressure washers typically on the lowest setting. Pressure is secondary because chemistry and technician skill do the real work. After washing, the crew checks results and communicates honestly about any limitations.
The crew puts everything back, completes a final walkaround with you, and points out what was done. Our office then calls to verify everything went well and request a review.
We usually don’t rinse the roof after applying the solution. We leave it to dwell so it can continue killing mold and mildew, including growth in the roof system’s nooks and crannies.
Because we inspect from the ground during the estimate, our technicians may notice additional issues once they’re actively working. If we see broken tiles or other concerns, we photograph them for you.
After we finish, you may see a “coffee stain” the next day. This doesn’t mean the cleaning failed. It means the mildew was killed but hasn’t fallen away yet. Give it two weeks for sun and rain to clear it. If staining remains, we follow up and return if needed. Our crew lets you know they’re done, and our office follows up to verify everything went well, request payment, and ask for a review.
Every house washing service is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We prevent dissatisfaction by setting expectations early, explaining what is cleanable, identifying sensitive areas, and following up from the office.
We take chemical safety seriously. Sodium hypochlorite requires careful handling, which is why we rely on dilution, weakest-effective-solution use, plant covering, and our long experience. If we do harm a plant, we replace it.
It can if done incorrectly. We use diluted solutions, start with the weakest effective mix, water down sensitive plants, cover vegetation when needed, and account for both leaf contact and root exposure risks.
The cleaning solution can affect animals and property if mishandled. We focus on dilution, careful use, and protecting sensitive areas.
Yes, if not managed correctly. We identify furniture, cushions, and delicate items during the estimate and either ask you to move them or handle prep as part of the service.
We soft wash. Our approach is chemistry-based and surface-specific, with equipment typically on the lowest setting while technician judgment and the right solution do the real work.
Not always. Oxidation and paint-related issues differ from biological staining. Washing can sometimes make oxidation look worse. We identify those problems during the estimate.
House washing works best for organic buildup like green staining, mildew, mold, bugs, and general grime. If the issue is oxidation or paint failure, we explain that upfront.
Most jobs take two to four hours depending on size, layout, vegetation, and prep needs.
We address that during the estimate. If we are not confident house washing is the right solution, we say so upfront rather than overpromising.
Yes, but those areas need to be identified in advance. We may avoid SH, use soapy water only, or use water only to protect stained wood, decorative ceilings, and front doors.
Identify delicate outdoor items, furniture, cushions, plants, or decor you are concerned about. Discussing them in advance helps the service go smoothly.
We usually inspect from the ground during the estimate and may use aerial photos, but we often spot more once technicians are working. If we see broken tiles or other visible issues during the service, we photograph them so the homeowner can address them later.
No formal roof-cleaning warranty is offered. Instead, we focus on honest communication, safe methods, and follow-up support if any remaining dead staining hasn’t cleared after about two weeks.
Before service, it helps to let us know about any sensitive plants or property concerns around the home. After service, the main thing to remember is that results may continue improving over time rather than looking instantly perfect the same day.
That depends on the roof’s condition, slope, access, and overall safety. We assess that during the estimate and will tell you honestly if the roof is not a good fit for our process.
