Pressure washing in Palm Beach County
Nothing grows on a Palm Beach County house faster than algae and mildew. Between humidity, irrigation and long wet seasons, north-facing walls, pool decks and paver driveways go green within a year. Dr Handyman Service cleans exterior surfaces with the pressure and method each surface can actually take, including soft washing where high pressure would cause damage.

Local conditions in Palm Beach County that affect this work
- High humidity and long wet seasons make algae and mildew regrowth a maintenance cycle, not a one-time fix.
- Irrigation overspray keeps lower walls and driveway edges damp and feeds regrowth.
- Roof tiles and shingles require low-pressure soft washing; high pressure damages both.
- Salt spray leaves film on coastal exteriors, screens and enclosures that plain rinsing does not remove.
- Screen enclosures and window screens need low pressure to avoid stretching or tearing panels.
- Painted stucco can be eroded by aggressive pressure, so surface-appropriate technique matters.

Pressure Washing FAQs for Palm Beach County homeowners
Is pressure washing safe for my tile or shingle roof?
Not at high pressure. Roofs are soft washed at low pressure with appropriate cleaning solution, which is the correct method for Florida algae streaking.
How often do Palm Beach County homes need pressure washing?
Humidity, shade and irrigation drive regrowth speed. Shaded and irrigated surfaces need it noticeably more often than sunny, dry ones.
Will you protect my landscaping?
Yes. Plants and beds are protected and rinsed as part of the process.
Can you wash before painting?
Yes, and it is required for a durable exterior finish. Pre-paint washing and mildew treatment are commonly bundled with exterior painting.
