Exterior surfaces don’t get dirty overnight—it happens gradually. But eventually, the signs become too obvious to ignore. Whether it’s your siding, driveway, roof, or patio, buildup can turn even the most beautiful property into an eyesore. At Kelly’s Pressure Cleaning, we help homeowners and businesses throughout Lakeland, Bartow, Mulberry, Winter Haven, Auburndale, and Plant City recognize when it’s time for a professional cleaning—and we’re here to make the process easy, safe, and affordable.

Here are the most common signs your property is due for pressure or soft washing.

1. Green, Black, or Brown Streaks on Surfaces

If you see dark streaks on your roof, siding, or fencing, you’re looking at:

  • Mold

  • Mildew

  • Algae

  • Dirt or pollution buildup

These aren’t just cosmetic—they can eat away at paint, rot wood, and reduce the lifespan of your exterior materials. We remove them at the source using safe soft wash methods.

2. Dull or Faded Appearance

Over time, layers of dirt, pollen, and grime dull the look of your home or business. If the original color of your siding or walkway seems faded or uneven, a deep cleaning can bring it back to life—no painting or repairs needed.

3. Slippery Surfaces

Mildew, algae, and moss build up on:

  • Driveways

  • Walkways

  • Pool decks

  • Patios

These areas become dangerous when wet. If you or your guests are at risk of slipping, it’s time for a professional pressure wash.

4. Weeds Growing Between Pavers

Weeds between patio pavers or driveway stones aren’t just unsightly—they cause shifting and erosion over time. Our pressure washing and cleaning process clears out the joints so they can be properly sanded and sealed if needed.

5. Overflowing or Clogged Gutters

If water is spilling over your gutters or you see dark stains on the fascia boards, there’s likely a clog or buildup. We offer full gutter cleaning (inside and out) to restore proper drainage and improve curb appeal.

6. Declining Property Value or Curb Appeal

If you’re planning to sell, rent, or appraise your property, a dirty exterior can drop your value quickly. A professional pressure wash is one of the fastest, most cost-effective ways to boost your property’s visual appeal.

7. It’s Been Over a Year Since Your Last Cleaning

In Florida, we recommend pressure washing your property at least once a year due to the humidity, rain, and airborne debris. If it’s been longer, buildup is likely hiding in areas you don’t even see—like behind gutters or in shaded corners.
