Frequently Asked Questions *

  • We offer a full range of exterior cleaning services, including pressure washing, soft washing, roof cleaning, and gutter cleaning. We clean driveways, sidewalks, patios, siding, roofs, gutters, and more to keep your home or business looking its best.

  • Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, mold, and other contaminants from hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone. Soft washing, on the other hand, uses low-pressure water and cleaning solutions to safely clean more delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and windows.

  • The frequency of exterior cleaning depends on your location and the specific conditions of your property. In Tampa’s humid climate, we generally recommend pressure washing and roof cleaning once a year. However, homes in areas prone to heavy rain, humidity, or surrounded by trees may need cleaning more frequently to prevent mold and algae buildup.

  • Yes! We use eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for your home, family, pets, and the environment. These solutions effectively remove dirt, algae, and mildew without causing damage to your property or harming the surrounding landscaping.

  • Soft washing is recommended for roofs because it’s a gentle yet effective method that won’t damage delicate roofing materials like shingles. High-pressure washing can strip away the protective granules on shingles, shortening the lifespan of your roof. Soft washing safely removes algae, mold, and moss without causing any damage.

  • Yes, we provide exterior cleaning services for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you need cleaning for a storefront, office building, or large commercial space, our team has the experience and equipment to handle jobs of any size.

  • The time it takes to complete a service depends on the size of the property and the extent of the cleaning required. For example, pressure washing a driveway may take 1-2 hours, while a full house wash or roof cleaning could take several hours. We’ll provide you with a detailed time estimate when you schedule your service.

  • No, our cleaning methods and solutions are safe for your landscaping. We take extra precautions to protect plants, flowers, and other sensitive areas around your property during the cleaning process.

  • Signs that your gutters need cleaning include water overflowing during rain, sagging gutters, plant growth, and water stains on your home’s siding. Regular gutter cleaning is important to prevent water damage to your roof, foundation, and landscaping.

  • In Tampa’s rainy climate, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year — typically in the spring and fall. However, if your property is surrounded by trees or you’ve experienced heavy storms, more frequent cleanings may be necessary.

  • If done incorrectly, high-pressure washing can damage delicate surfaces like wood, siding, and roofs. That’s why it’s important to hire professionals like Labor Jack Exterior Cleaning. We use the appropriate pressure settings and techniques for each surface to ensure a thorough clean without causing damage.

  • It’s not necessary for you to be home during the service, as long as we have access to the areas that need to be cleaned. However, we’re happy to accommodate your preferences and work around your schedule.
