Shaded, north-facing stucco is the surface that gives Maitland homeowners the most trouble. Under the mature oak canopy that lines these streets, painted-masonry and stucco walls stay damp longer, and that is where algae and organic staining take hold first. On the lakefront blocks, where the elevations run larger and the lots run bigger, the same growth spreads across walkways and pool decks while the humidity off the water keeps feeding it.
Those surfaces need a gentle touch, so we soft wash them, lifting the growth with a low-pressure application and a full rinse instead of blasting stucco and paint. The same canopy loads driveways, walkways, and pool decks with debris and staining, and we clear all of that in one visit. Because screen-enclosed pools are close to standard on the homes around here, screen enclosures and pool-deck flatwork are a normal part of the job, alongside the driveways and walkways.
We save real pressure for concrete and keep it off the surfaces it would damage. Call for a free quote on your Maitland home at (407) 276-1343.
Homes are the bulk of what we clean, with a steady run of commercial work alongside them. The crew holds to the same standards and the same care whether the job is a single pool home or a larger property such as a lakefront-area condo community, a gated HOA neighborhood, or a storefront. What changes is the clock: commercial jobs get scheduled around a business day.
Across Maitland’s block and stucco pool homes we clean the surfaces this area is hard on: painted stucco and masonry, painted wood, brick, concrete flatwork, pool screens, and roofs.
On oil and grease, we treat oil and grease with a commercial-grade degreaser, a stiff-brush scrub, a 20-minute dwell, and hot water up to about 250°F. The longer oil has soaked into concrete, the more likely a shadow remains, so we put realistic expectations in writing before any work begins. We don’t guarantee 100% removal.
Because the shaded north-facing faces grow algae fastest, most Maitland homes settle into a steady rhythm: a soft-wash pass on those elevations paired with a flatwork pass to clear the canopy-driven staining.
We take on commercial exteriors alongside the residential work, at whatever scale the property calls for:
Most commercial work runs after hours or overnight so a business day is never interrupted, with cones and A-frame signage routing any foot traffic that does come through. Near drains and waterways we surface-clean with water first so only water enters the storm system, and we switch to an eco-friendly solution near the lakes. Recurring commercial contracts are discounted.
A handful of things separate how we work from a standard wash, and they show up on every job before anyone asks.
Every roof, every siding type, and every pool screen we clean gets a soft wash, a low-pressure chemical application and a full rinse. We save real pressure for concrete, where it belongs, so the surfaces that high pressure damages stay protected.
Protection runs through every visit: outlets, doorbells, cameras, and garage-door openers taped and sealed, plants pre-rinsed, downspouts bagged with a Neutropod to neutralize bleach, and pool decks rinsed away from the water. Those steps happen before any cleaner touches the house.
You don’t have to be home. You’ll get a text with our arrival time, before-and-after photos when we’re done, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link, plus a follow-up call a few days later to make sure everything still looks right. All of it is standard on every job.
We use the lightest effective chemistry for each surface, dialing strength up only when the job demands it: sodium metasilicate to clean wood without bleaching its color, oxalic acid at minimum strength for rust, and Dragon Juice in place of bleach on TPO roofs with warranty restrictions. Matching the product to the surface protects it while it gets clean.
Bigger machines mean less time with loud equipment running outside your home. Our high-GPM setup, 36-inch surface cleaner, four-story long-reach unit, and 535-gallon tank let our crew finish faster, often from the ground. That means fewer ladders on your house and a shorter visit.
Some jobs call for tools other crews don’t carry. Our Curbinator cleans the flat, vertical, and top of a curb in one pass, our hot-water unit hits about 250°F for oil, gum, and grease, and a 25-foot pole-camera gutter vacuum clears multi-story gutters from the ground. The right tool keeps the harder jobs safe and quick.
From the first call to the follow-up a few days after we leave, here is how a Maitland job moves, step by step.
Contact us by form or phone or text. Our office answers personally and gathers the details on the first contact: what surfaces, and what you are seeing, whether that is algae, rust, oil, or general buildup. Phone-answered hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM.
A short call to pin down exactly what you need so we scope the job correctly. Driveways and complex flatwork get sized with a measurement app.
Priced by square footage for most surfaces and by the linear foot for gutters. Realistic outcomes, like whether an old oil stain will fully lift, go in writing before you approve anything.
Once you approve, you are placed on the schedule with a confirmed service date. Gutter customers are enrolled in our six-month email reminder.
The crew texts an arrival time, then tapes and seals outlets, doorbells, cameras, and garage-door openers, pre-rinses plants, bags downspouts with a Neutropod, and cleans one section at a time so nothing dries on the surface. Roofs and screens are soft washed, while concrete is surface-cleaned with the 36-inch surface cleaner and high-GPM machines. The four-story long-reach unit lets the crew handle height from the ground. On Maitland’s shaded lakefront pool homes the crew often soft washes the algae-heavy north-facing stucco and the screen enclosure in the same visit, then rinses the pool deck away from the water.
Before-and-after photos, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link by text or email. A few days later we call to confirm everything still looks right and to ask how we did.
Most surfaces are priced by square footage, gutters by the linear foot, with flat minimums on driveways, decks, and pool screens. The written estimate is free, and complex or large jobs get a custom quote.

Maitland’s exteriors fight a specific set of conditions, from the oak canopy that shades the pool homes to the lakefront blocks where big stucco walls and screen enclosures sit close to the water. Those are the surfaces we work on across town, and we treat every property here as if it sat on our own street.
You’ll see us working near the places that make up daily life in town:
Most of our days run through the oak-canopy pool-home streets around Dommerich and the lakefront neighborhoods near the lakes.

Maitland’s shaded, lakefront pool homes take on algae fast, so a soft-wash refresh keeps stucco, screens, and pool decks looking the way they should.
