Pressure washing
Exterior cleaning services.
Tallahassee heat and humidity mean the three M’s: mold, mildew, and moss. They land on houses, driveways, patios, pool decks, and storefronts. Fusion H2O washes them off. Homes and businesses. For the yard, complete lawn service at Lawn Pros of Tallahassee.
Soft wash
House washing
Tallahassee heat and humidity put mold, algae, and grime on the outside of a house. Left there, it looks tired and it can stain siding. House washing lifts that film and leaves the walls looking cared for.
Fusion H2O soft-washes houses. Low pressure, and the mix does the cleaning, so we are not forcing water behind vinyl or stripping paint. One-story houses and larger homes get a method matched to the material and the condition.
People book this before a sale, after a storm, or just on a yearly pass. Fence and driveway can go on the same visit if the rest of the place needs it too.
How often should a house be washed?
Once a year covers most Tallahassee houses. Shade, oaks, and a north wall can need it sooner. Regular washing keeps staining from setting in.
Can I pressure wash the house myself?
A consumer washer is how siding gets scarred, paint gets stripped, and water gets behind the wall. Soft wash is the safer way to clean a house.
Commercial
Building washing
A commercial building should look like the work happening inside. Fusion H2O washes Tallahassee buildings until dirt, grime, and mold are off the outside.
We look at the wall before the water comes on. Sometimes the right move is less pressure and a detergent, so the finish comes back without being etched. Windows and other sensitive spots get the lower setting. The field of a wall, an outbuilding, or a rental can take more.
Graffiti and storefront work sit in the same visit when you need them. The point is a building that looks open for business.
- Patio
- Building walls
- Pool deck
- Driveway
How often should a commercial building be washed?
At least once a year. Twice a year is the better habit in this climate if you want the walls to stay ahead of mold and moss.
What does building washing actually do?
It makes the building look kept, and it gets dirt, mold, mildew, and stains off before they sit long enough to hurt the finish. A clean exterior is easier to lease and easier to walk up to.
Pressure washing
Driveway washing
A driveway collects parking, oil, rust, bikes, and weeds in the cracks. Those stains are the job. Fusion H2O washes concrete and asphalt driveways in Tallahassee and gets the loose dirt, pebbles, and film off the surface.
Do it before the cracks widen, the weeds take the joints, and the stains set. Concrete flatwork gets the same treatment: sidewalks and aprons that people actually walk.
Mud, tree pitch, and grit end up on the walks too. A spring or fall wash keeps the high-traffic concrete from turning slick and gray.
- Curb appeal comes back
- Loose dirt, pebbles, and gravel come off
- The concrete looks closer to the day it was poured
- A cleaner surface is easier to walk
Can you remove stains that have been on the driveway?
Fresh stains are the easy ones. Older oil and rust are still worth trying. We have the mix and the surface cleaner, and we will tell you if a mark is in the concrete for good.
What about rust on concrete?
Orange rings and spots often come from metal or minerals in the slab, not just a stain sitting on top. Those need a metal-stain treatment, not a harder blast.
Surface cleaning
Patio & porch cleaning
If you cannot remember the last time the patio was cleaned, it is due. Porch and patio washing in Tallahassee takes off what is growing there, cuts back the weeds in the joints, and gives pavers and concrete a longer run before they look spent.
The porch is the part guests actually stand on. Wood and composite both get a wash matched to the board, not one setting for everything.
Mold, mildew, and moss on a walking surface are a footing problem, not just a looks problem. Patio, porch, and the driveway can be priced on the same look.
- Existing growth and dirt come off
- Joints are less of a weed bed
- Pavers and concrete last longer when the film is not sitting on them
Why bother washing a patio?
Dirt, algae, and moss make it look neglected and they make it slick. A wash is how the outdoor room stays usable.
What do we get from hiring it out?
The right pressure for that surface, stains and moss actually gone, and a weekend you did not spend striping the concrete.
Pressure washing
Pool deck cleaning
Weather, chlorine, and daily use beat up the concrete around a pool. Fusion H2O washes Tallahassee pool decks so the stains and dirt come off and the deck matches the water again.
A splash of bleach from the jug can clean a little and stain a lot if the mix is wrong. A quick pass with a wand often leaves the dirt in the texture. We treat pavers, brick, cobble, and concrete so the joints get cleaned and the surface stays intact.
Spring and fall are the natural times, before and after the heavy swim season. A summer wash is worth it when chlorine staining is already showing.
- Chlorine stains are a known job, not a surprise
- The deck gets washed without a DIY experiment
- Clean concrete lasts longer than concrete left under a film
When should a pool deck be cleaned?
Spring and fall, around the season you actually swim. Midsummer is fair game if chlorine is painting the deck.
Can I just use bleach?
Bleach cleans, and the wrong strength leaves a worse mark than the one you were chasing. Call and we will do it with a mix that belongs on concrete.
Soft wash
Brick & paver cleaning
Brick and paver in Tallahassee pick up dirt, moss, algae, and grime. That film is not only ugly. It breaks the surface down: cracks, sandy joints, color gone dull.
Fusion H2O cleans hardscape with a soft wash and the right equipment so mortar, grout, and the face of the paver stay intact. Interlocking pavers, porous brick, and decorative masonry each get a different touch.
Driveway and patio washing can ride along if the rest of the ground needs the same day.
- Mold, moss, algae, and dirt come off
- Less slime underfoot, less surface breakdown
- Color and texture come back
- Safer than a box-store washer on sand joints
How often should brick and pavers be cleaned?
Once or twice a year in this humidity. That is enough to stay ahead of moss and algae.
Can I wash pavers with a store-bought machine?
You can, and people blow the sand out of the joints and stripe the color doing it. We clean the face and leave the joints in place.
Soft wash
Fence cleaning
A fence that is discolored, moldy, or weather-worn is a wash, not a replacement. Fusion H2O cleans wood, vinyl, and composite fences across Tallahassee.
Heat and humidity load a fence with algae, mold, mildew, and grime. That breaks finishes down. We soft-wash so the growth comes off and the board stays a board: no splintered cedar, no chalky vinyl.
It is also the right time to wash if you are about to stain or paint. Deck and driveway can be on the same ticket.
- Algae, mold, and mildew come off
- Wood and vinyl get closer to their original color
- A clean fence takes stain or paint better
Will fence cleaning damage the wood or vinyl?
Not the way we do it. Soft wash and a mix matched to the material. We look at the fence first and change the method if the wood is already soft.
How often should a fence be cleaned?
Once a year for most fences. Shade and damp ground mean sooner. That is what keeps mildew from becoming the color of the fence.
Soft wash
Deck cleaning
A deck is supposed to be the easy part of the house. Dirt, algae, mildew, and sun fade take that away. Fusion H2O cleans wood and composite decks in Tallahassee without raising the grain or stripping a sealant that is still doing its job.
We mix soft wash and pressure depending on the board and how far gone it is. Mold left on a deck is also a slip problem, not only a color problem.
This is the wash for a house deck, a rental between tenants, or a place you open up for the season. Patio and fence can be booked with it.
How often should a deck be cleaned?
Once a year for most Tallahassee decks. High use, or a deck under trees, can need it more. Regular cleaning is what keeps the finish and the footing.
Can I pressure wash the deck myself?
You can scar wood and fuzz composite with the wrong tip and too much pressure. We use a method that cleans the board and leaves it intact.
Commercial
Storefront washing
A dirty storefront costs you the customer who decides from the sidewalk. Fusion H2O washes Tallahassee storefronts so the front of the business looks open.
On a storefront visit we pressure wash the facade, soft-wash the sensitive pieces, scrub the glass, and wash the sidewalk. Brick-and-mortar or an awning shop downtown, the entry, the walk, and the face of the building all get looked at.
We pull rust off aluminum awnings and the streaks a roof drain leaves down the wall. Mold in the cracks that you stop seeing is still part of the job.
- Pressure wash the facade
- Soft-wash sensitive features
- Scrub the windows
- Wash the sidewalk
Why not have an employee do the storefront?
Your people should be on customers. Storefront washing is the work we came to do, on a schedule, so the front stays presentable without borrowing a shift.
How do you wash a storefront?
Brick gets a real wash so rust, mold, dust, and grime do not take the mortar. Awnings and softer trim get a soft wash. The sidewalk gets the surface cleaner.
