Who we recommend, what it should cost, and what to ask before you book.
Matches the method to how old the finish is, not just to how dirty the wall looks.

Lee County is the metro where the age of the surface decides the job more than the dirt on it does. A great deal of exterior here — stucco, paint, screen enclosures, pavers, roofs — was repaired or replaced after the 2022 storm, and a finish that is only a year or two old is not cleaned the way a twenty-year-old one is. Fresh paint and new stucco want time to cure and a gentler approach, and a new roof, a new cage or newly sealed pavers usually carry manufacturer or installer guidance about what may be used on them, which is what keeps the warranty intact. So the first thing to tell a crew is not how bad it looks, it is how old it is, and then to ask what they would do differently because of that. The second thing is that a storm brings operators into a market as well as damage. Ask for the licence and the certificate of insurance and check them yourself, prefer a company with a Lee County track record you can actually look up, and treat an unsolicited knock at the door or a large deposit up front as a reason to slow down. Third, do not price off your neighbour: on one street a house may be on a two-year-old roof and the next on a fifteen-year-old one, so a figure quoted for the block means nothing. The quote should follow your address and your surfaces.
House soft-washing usually runs about $150-$450 depending on size, driveways and concrete $100-$250, and a full roof soft-wash $300-$700. Reputable crews quote a flat price by the job — roughly $0.10-$0.60 per square foot depending on the surface, with flat concrete at the low end and soft-washed siding, decks, and roofs at the high end — not by the hour. Newly installed pavers, screen enclosures and recent paint are often quoted differently because the method has to be gentler and slower — ask for that to be said out loud rather than assumed.
Usually it is not too new, but it does change the method and sometimes the timing. Fresh exterior paint is commonly given about a month before anything is washed against it, and new stucco, sealed pavers and a new screen enclosure each have their own guidance from whoever supplied or installed them. The safest order is to ask the installer what the finish will tolerate, then tell the washing crew the age up front. A crew that adjusts pressure and solution because a wall is two years old rather than twenty is doing the job properly.
Ask for the licence and a certificate of insurance and verify them yourself rather than taking a photo of a card at face value, and look for a Lee County track record you can find independently. Get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Be cautious about an unsolicited door knock, pressure to decide immediately, or a large deposit requested up front — none of those are proof of anything on their own, but together they are a good reason to get a second quote.
Yes — our Fort Myers pick covers the city along with those Lee County towns, inland and coastal addresses alike. Give the street address when you ask for the quote, because the surfaces and their age vary far more across this metro than the distance does.
