Before You Book: What’s Actually Allowed Right Now
Hillsborough County is under a Modified Phase III “Extreme” Water Shortage. The Southwest Florida Water Management District extended it through October 1, 2026. Most companies working Brandon either don’t know this or won’t bring it up.
Annual aesthetic pressure washing is restricted for residential customers. The County listed that prohibition when the tighter rules took effect April 3, 2026.
Pressure washing to prep for painting or sealing is still allowed. That’s written into the District’s order.
Soft washing uses a fraction of the water, because the cleaning solution does the work instead of volume and pressure.
Your HOA can’t cite you for a dirty driveway right now. The order says no association may enforce a deed restriction requiring an increase in water use, and it names pressure washing specifically.
Enforcement tightened up. Local officials were told to skip the warning and issue citations starting two weeks after the order took effect.
Call us and we’ll tell you honestly whether your job qualifies. If it doesn’t, we’ll say so and put you on the list for October.

Those black streaks aren’t dirt. They’re algae — and your insurer can see them.
The dark streaks on Brandon roofs are Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and thrives in our humidity. Florida insurers now review roofs by aerial imagery, and visible staining is a common trigger for a non-renewal letter.
In most cases that letter is a cleaning problem, not a roof problem — the difference between a few hundred dollars and a full replacement. We clean it the correct way and document the work so you can send proof to your carrier.
Just the right method for the surface, from a licensed and insured Brandon crew.
Why Brandon Eats Exteriors Faster Than Most Places
We’re in a humid subtropical zone. In plain terms: more than 50 inches of rain a year, humidity averaging around 73%, and temperatures over 70°F for eight-plus months. It’s a greenhouse. Things grow on your house here that don’t grow on houses in Arizona. But it isn’t uniform across town, and that’s where most companies get lazy.
If you’re under the oaks. Brandon Oaks and Ashley Oaks homeowners know the trade-off. Those mature live oaks are why you bought there, and they’re why your roof streaks first. Shade holds moisture on the shingle for hours longer after rain. Tannin runoff from oak leaves and acorns also leaves a rusty brown stain on concrete that people mistake for plain dirt and scrub at forever.
If you’re in an older part of town. A lot of Brandon Traces was built between 1987 and 1993, and central Brandon is full of similar stock. That’s thirty-plus Florida summers on the same roof and driveway. Older concrete needs pre-treatment and a second pass. It costs more and takes longer, and we’d rather say that up front than quote low and add on at the end.
If you’ve got pavers. The newer infill off Kings Avenue, Lumsden Road, Parsons Avenue and Bloomingdale Avenue is heavy on paver drives and lanais. Pavers are not concrete. The joint sand has to be flushed clean without blowing it out of the joints, then re-sanded. It runs about a quarter more per square foot than poured concrete. If somebody quotes the same number for both, they haven’t done many pavers.
If you’re on well water. Plenty of properties toward Dover, Seffner and east Valrico irrigate off a private well. High iron leaves orange staining that will not come off with bleach or with pressure. It needs an acid-based treatment. We see driveways every month that somebody already cleaned twice and they’re still orange, because the wrong product was used both times.
If you’ve got a lanai or pool cage. Almost every house here does. Screen enclosures cannot take pressure. They get low-pressure chemical cleaning or you’ll be calling a screen company next.
Exterior Cleaning Built for Brandon’s Climate
East Hillsborough sits in a humid subtropical climate with more than 50 inches of rain a year and humidity averaging around 73%. Algae, mildew and lichen grow here in ways they simply don’t elsewhere — and every surface needs a different pressure and a different cleaner.

What This Actually Costs in Brandon
Most companies here won’t put a number on a page. We will, as honest ranges.
Driveway, standard two-car: $150–$300
House wash, single story: $150–$400
House wash, two story: $350–$550
Soft wash roof cleaning: $300–$800
Pool deck or lanai: $200–$400
Bundle — siding, driveway and walkways: $400–$650
What moves the number. Square footage, obviously. Surface type: concrete is fast, pavers are slow, shingles need a slow chemical dwell, painted surfaces need a light touch. How long it’s been: a driveway cleaned eighteen months ago and one cleaned five years ago take about the same time on the wand, but the old one needs pre-treatment and a second pass. Access: two-story gable ends, steep pitches, tight side yards. And bundling, because the rate drops once we’re already set up on site.

Why It’s Worth Doing Properly
Roof algae isn’t only cosmetic. Here’s what a correct, documented clean actually protects:
Algae removed before it degrades shingle granules and shortens roof life
Restored reflectivity, which lowers attic heat load in summer
Written maintenance records for insurance renewal and manufacturer warranties
Cleaning costs a fraction of a replacement — for a problem that is usually surface level
How Often Does This Need Doing?
Shingle roofs — every 3 to 5 years, shorter under heavy shade
Colored tile — around every 3 years
White tile — often yearly, because everything shows on white
Driveways and walkways — about every 12 months
House and siding — every 12 to 18 months
Cheap ways to stretch those intervals. Algae-resistant shingles with copper granules inhibit growth for roughly 10 to 15 years, worth specifying at your next roof replacement. Zinc or copper strips at the ridge release trace metal every time it rains and suppress growth on the slopes below. And trim back branches for sun and airflow where you reasonably can. We’d rather tell you how to go longer between cleanings than sell you one you don’t need.
Got a Letter From Your Insurance Company?
Read what it actually says first. If it cites algae, staining or biological growth, that’s a cleaning issue. If it cites missing shingles, storm damage, curling or granule loss, that’s a roofing issue and you need a roofer, not us. We’ll tell you which one you’ve got before you spend anything.
Signs it’s just algae: dark streaking mostly on the north-facing or shaded slope; staining that runs downward in a pattern from the ridge; no curling, cracking or bare patches under the stain; roof otherwise sound with no leaks.
Know where you stand before you agree to anything. Florida law prevents an insurer from refusing to renew based on roof age alone if the roof is under 15 years old. For roofs 15 years or older, you’re entitled to an independent inspection before a replacement can be required. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association has long held that algae staining on asphalt shingles is a surface-level condition — it affects how the roof looks, not its ability to protect the house. That distinction is the whole ballgame between a few hundred dollars and five figures.
Carriers commonly offer discounts in the 15–35% range for roofs in good condition, and some ask for proof of maintenance at renewal. That’s what our documentation is for.
We clean roofs. We’re not your agent and we’re not attorneys. For anything about your specific policy terms, talk to your carrier.
