How Often Should HOAs Pressure Wash Their Community?
A Guide for South Florida Property Managers and HOA Boards
If you’re on the board of a homeowners association or manage a residential community in South Florida, you already know that first impressions matter. Moldy sidewalks, stained roofs, and dirty exterior walls can instantly lower curb appeal—and, more importantly, property values.
That’s why pressure washing and soft-washing services are more than just cosmetic—they’re a vital part of your community maintenance plan.
But how often should you schedule cleanings?
Let’s break it down.
📅 Recommended Pressure Washing Schedule for HOAs
In South Florida’s warm, humid climate, mold, mildew, algae, and grime build up fast—especially during the rainy season. Here’s a general guideline:
✅ Roof Cleaning
Every 2–3 years, or as needed depending on shingle type and HOA appearance standards.
In some communities, roofs may need to be cleaned annually to maintain uniformity and meet HOA regulations.
✅ Sidewalks, Driveways & Walkways
Every 6–12 months to reduce slip hazards, prevent staining, and keep shared areas safe and welcoming.
✅ Exterior Walls & Clubhouse Buildings
Annually, or seasonally if near landscaping or irrigation systems (which often cause discoloration).
✅ Pool Decks & Common Areas
Every 6 months, especially during high-traffic seasons. This reduces slip risks and keeps the area looking well-kept for residents and guests.
🚨 Why Skipping Cleanings Can Cost More
Deferred cleaning doesn’t just look bad—it creates real problems:
Mold and algae eat away at roofing materials
Dirty sidewalks become slip-and-fall risks
Stained buildings and signs hurt community image
Poor appearance can drive down home values and increase complaints
Regular exterior cleaning also helps HOAs avoid expensive repair costs and stay ahead of maintenance violations.
🛠️ What HOAs Should Look for in a Pressure Washing Vendor
Not all vendors are created equal. Look for:
✅ Licensed & insured professionals
✅ Soft-wash roof cleaning (safe for tile & shingles)
✅ Flexible scheduling for low-resident disruption
