How do I know if my pavers need sealing or stripping?

Pour water on the surface. If it soaks in, the sealer is gone and you just need a fresh coat. If the surface looks white, hazy, or blotchy, the old sealer is failing and needs to be fully stripped before we can reseal.

Can you seal over a failing coat instead of stripping it?

No. Sealing over a failing coat traps the problem underneath and causes the new sealer to fail much faster. The only proper fix is to fully strip the old product and start fresh.

Why did my pavers turn white after they were sealed?

White or hazy pavers almost always mean a solvent based sealer was applied incorrectly or over damp pavers. The moisture in Jacksonville's ground gets trapped under the sealer and creates the white haze. The fix is to fully strip the old sealer and reseal using a commercial grade water based product applied the right way.

How long does paver sealing or stripping take?

Most residential jobs take one full day. Larger areas, severe sealer failure, or combined strip and reseal jobs may take two visits. We give you a time estimate when we confirm your quote.

How long does paver sealing last in Jacksonville?

Our 2-coat commercial flood seal system lasts 3 to 5 years depending on foot traffic, sun exposure, and weather. Driveways and high traffic areas typically need resealing closer to the 3-year mark.

Will the stripping chemical damage my landscaping or pool?

We protect landscaping, pool equipment, and surrounding surfaces before we start. We never use bleach. Our products are professional grade and safe for your property when applied correctly.

Do I need to move vehicles and furniture before the crew arrives?

Yes. Please clear the paver area before we arrive. Vehicles should be out of driveways and portable furniture moved off patios and pool decks so we can access the full surface.

How long do I need to stay off my pavers after sealing?

We recommend staying off sealed pavers for 24 to 48 hours. Vehicles should stay off driveways for at least 72 hours after a seal job to allow the sealer to fully cure.

Is stripping worth it or should I just replace my pavers?

Stripping and resealing is almost always the better value. Replacing pavers is significantly more expensive and usually unnecessary unless there is structural damage, settling, or cracking underneath. A proper strip and reseal restores your pavers to like-new condition for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

MOLD AND MILDEW DO NOT BELONG ON YOUR HOME.

House Washing in
Jacksonville, FL

FLORIDA'S HUMIDITY DOESN'T TAKE A DAY OFF.

How House Washing Works in Jacksonville's Climate

Professional house washing in Jacksonville is the fix for the green streaks under your gutters, the black spots creeping up your north wall, and the mildew that settles into your siding every humid Florida summer. The heat, the afternoon storms, and the shade from those big oak trees are exactly what mold and algae need to take hold.

At Hydro Wash 360, our house washing services are built around a soft wash method designed for real Jacksonville homes. High pressure on the wrong siding strips paint and forces water behind panels, which is why we treat siding differently than we treat driveways, patios, and pool decks. Our crew uses a professional grade, biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure that works into the pores of your vinyl, stucco, Hardie board, or painted wood, kills the mold, mildew, and algae at the root, and rinses off with a gentle stream of water.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, moisture control is the single most important factor in preventing mold growth. Our house washing process is built around that. We treat the mold and mildew where it lives so your home stays cleaner, longer, and every wash comes backed by our 6 month mold and mildew warranty.

Whether you are getting ready to sell, prepping for family visits, or you just want your home to look like your home again, we tailor every job to your siding, exposure, and the specific side of Jacksonville you live on.

House Washing for Vinyl, Stucco, Brick, and Every Home in Between

The siding on your home decides how your home should be washed. Vinyl warps under high pressure. Stucco holds moisture in its texture. Brick can take more pressure but the mortar joints cannot. Painted wood strips fast if the pressure is wrong. Every house washing job we take in Jacksonville starts with a walk around your property to match the right method to the materials you are working with.

Our House Washing Method by Surface Type

Soft Wash Surfaces:

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl is the most common siding in Jacksonville and warps easily under high pressure. Our soft wash removes years of green and black buildup without bending, cracking, or forcing water behind the panels.

Stucco

Stucco is porous and absorbs moisture, making it a magnet for mold in Florida’s climate. We use a controlled soft wash that cleans deep into the texture without eroding the finish or leaving blotchy patches.

Painted Wood

High pressure strips paint fast. Our soft wash lifts dirt and organic growth off painted surfaces while keeping your finish intact so you skip the peeling and the touch-ups.

Higher Pressure Surfaces

Brick

Brick traps dirt and organic growth in its pores and mortar joints. We use controlled pressure to flush out buildup without blowing out mortar or leaving marks on the face of the brick.

Hardie Board

Hardie board holds up well but the edges and factory finish chip under too much pressure. We match the pressure to the condition of the surface, removing buildup without damaging either one.

Concrete Foundations

Exposed concrete along your home’s base collects splash-back dirt, algae, and water stains. We hit it with the right pressure to strip it clean and bring it back to its original look.

Our House Washing Guarantee + HydroGuard Upgrade

Every house wash comes with our standard 6 month mold and mildew warranty. But Florida’s humidity does not play around. Mold, mildew, and algae grow fast in this climate, and even a thorough house wash has a shelf life.

Upgrade to HydroGuard and extend your protection to a full 12 months. HydroGuard bonds to your exterior surfaces at a microscopic level, creating a barrier that slows organic regrowth and keeps your home cleaner longer with fewer cleanings per year.

What Is HydroGuard?

HydroGuard is a professional grade protective treatment applied after your house wash. It creates a microscopic barrier on exterior surfaces that helps slow down the regrowth of mold, mildew, and algae. Think of it as a protective enhancement designed specifically for Florida’s climate that works at the surface level to buy your home more time between washes.

Who Should Upgrade?

HydroGuard is ideal for homes surrounded by trees, north-facing walls that stay damp, waterfront properties, stucco and textured surfaces, and homeowners who want fewer cleanings per year. If your home has heavy shade, tree coverage, or sits near water, HydroGuard pays for itself in fewer service calls.

What’s Not Covered

Our warranty covers organic mold and mildew regrowth only. It does not include dirt accumulation, hard water staining, irrigation staining, oxidation or fading, or heavy shade and landscaping conditions that prevent proper drying.

HydroGuard Protection Options

Standard HydroGuard

$129

Professional application extending your mold and mildew coverage to 12 months. Ideal for standard residential properties in typical Florida conditions.

What Neighbors Are Saying About Our House Washing

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does a house wash take?

Most single family homes in Jacksonville take between one and three hours depending on the size, condition, and number of stories. Two story homes and heavier buildup take longer.

How often should I have my house washed?

In Jacksonville’s climate, we recommend once a year for most homes. If your home is heavily shaded, near water, or surrounded by trees, every 8 to 10 months may be a better schedule. Our HydroGuard upgrade helps extend the time between cleanings.

What is the difference between house washing and pressure washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast surfaces clean. House washing uses a low-pressure soft wash with professional cleaning solutions that kill mold and mildew without damaging your siding, paint, or trim. Most residential exteriors should never be pressure washed.

Can you wash a two-story home from the ground?

Yes. Our soft wash system reaches up to two stories from the ground without ladders. This is safer for our crew and eliminates the risk of ladder damage to your home’s exterior.

Do you wash screen enclosures and pool cages?

Yes. We clean screen enclosures, pool cages, lanais, and covered patios as part of our residential services. These areas collect mold and algae fast in Florida’s humidity and respond well to a soft wash treatment.
