Holliday’s Pressure Washing Services is a veteran-owned exterior cleaning company serving Orlando and Central Florida homeowners who want real results, not just a surface rinse. Daniel Holliday founded this company in 2017 after serving in the Marine Corps, and the same standards he carried in uniform show up in how every job gets done: show up on time, communicate clearly, and don’t leave until the work is right.
Florida’s heat and year-round humidity give algae, mold, and organic buildup ideal conditions to take hold on concrete and pavers faster than almost anywhere else. Once organic acids work into a concrete surface, they begin breaking it down from the inside, quietly accelerating deterioration that’s expensive to reverse. Professional driveway cleaning removes what a garden hose leaves behind, protects the surface from long-term damage, eliminates the slip hazard that algae-covered concrete creates, and for homeowners in HOA communities across the Orlando area, it keeps the property in compliance before a notice arrives.
Every job includes a pre-appointment confirmation, an on-the-way text, before and after photos at completion, and a follow-up call from our team a few days later.
You receive a confirmation when your appointment is set and a text when we’re on the way. At arrival we walk through the job with you if you’re home, note anything to protect or work around, and assess the surface for oil, rust, or structural concerns before connecting a hose. If anything changes the scope or estimate, we discuss it before starting.
Most driveways go straight to surface cleaning. When oil, rust, or heavy organic buildup is present, we apply chemistry first. Degreaser is applied to oil stains, worked in with a stiff brush, and allowed a dwell time of 15–20 minutes before heat extraction. Rust is treated with oxalic acid at the minimum concentration needed to avoid etching, with a 10–15 minute dwell time. Where algae or mildew is significant, sodium hypochlorite dwells for 5–10 minutes. Chemical strength is matched to what the surface actually needs.
We run the 36-inch surface cleaner through the driveway in overlapping passes, distributing pressure evenly across the full cleaning path and managing overspray to protect landscaping and neighboring surfaces.
After the surface passes, sodium hypochlorite post-treatment is applied across the driveway. Stubborn spots get targeted treatment at concentrations up to 5% using a pump-up sprayer. For oil and grease residue, our hot water machine reaches up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, which cuts through petroleum contamination far more effectively than cold water.
The final rinse clears all residue from the surface and surrounding areas. We review results against arrival photos, then send the full before and after documentation with your digital invoice and payment link. A yard sign goes up if permitted. Our team follows up a few days later to confirm everything met your expectations.
We back every job with a satisfaction guarantee. If something was missed or didn’t come out right, let us know and we’ll return at no charge. If anything was accidentally damaged during the job, we fix it. For oil stains, we’re upfront in every estimate that complete removal cannot be guaranteed due to concrete porosity, and we don’t charge for a result we can’t deliver. Because organic regrowth in Florida depends heavily on weather and surface conditions, we focus on thorough cleaning, post-treatment, and realistic maintenance intervals to help keep driveways looking their best.
Not when the right precautions are followed. Landscaping near the driveway is pre-wetted before any solution is applied and rinsed afterward. Concentrations are kept to the minimum the surface requires, and pets should stay indoors until treated areas are fully dry.
No. We handle everything, document the job with photos, and send your invoice digitally. Just let us know ahead of time about anything we should plan around, such as a gate code or a vehicle that needs to stay accessible.
We can make a meaningful improvement, but complete removal is not guaranteed. Concrete is porous, and deeply absorbed oil may leave a faint shadow even after degreaser, scrubbing, and hot water extraction at up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. That limitation goes in writing in your estimate before we start.
Heat, humidity, and frequent rain create near-ideal conditions for organic growth on concrete surfaces. Shaded driveways that stay damp after rain are especially prone to fast regrowth. The post-treatment we apply after every cleaning slows that cycle, but most Orlando homeowners find annual or twice-annual cleanings are the realistic way to stay ahead of it.
We carry a 535-gallon on-board tank and typically connect to your outdoor hose bib for residential jobs to maintain supply throughout the work. If you prefer we use only our own water, we can arrange that, including filling from a nearby fire hydrant with our hydrant meters.
Every six to twelve months works for most homeowners. Driveways in full sun with good drainage can go toward the longer end of that range. Those under heavy tree cover or near vegetation typically need cleaning sooner.
Not with the right equipment and technique. Our 36-inch surface cleaner distributes pressure evenly and eliminates the concentration points that cause etching or striping. We reduce pressure for pavers and use soft wash methods for painted surfaces, and we won’t clean a surface that’s deteriorated to the point where cleaning causes more harm than good.
Sodium hypochlorite is never used near open water, and rinse water is directed away from storm drains and landscaping wherever the layout allows. The solutions we use are diluted to responsible concentrations and break down quickly with sunlight and air.
