What needs washing most on an Inlet Beach home?
The hardscape. Many Inlet Beach properties are recent builds with wide driveways, paver courtyards and large pool decks, and those surfaces collect sunscreen, pollen, algae and rust from outdoor furniture faster than the walls collect dirt.
Pavers and concrete tolerate real pressure, so we use a rotary surface cleaner that gives an even finish with no stripes. Joint sand washed out during cleaning is replaced, and sealing is booked as a second visit once the pavers are fully dry — sealer over damp pavers turns cloudy.
- Pool decks and paver courtyards — surface cleaner, joint sand replaced
- Driveways — surface cleaner, oil and rust treated separately
- Siding and stucco — soft wash
- Outdoor kitchens and furniture areas — degreased before washing
Does new construction nearby make my house dirty?
Often, yes. The area around the 98 and 30A junction has seen a lot of building, and construction dust settles on neighbouring homes, windows and screens. Dust that sits through a few rain showers bonds to the surface and needs a proper wash rather than a hose.
If you have just finished building or renovating, a post-construction exterior wash removes drywall dust, mud splash and overspray before the first guests arrive. See post-construction cleaning for the interior side.
How does Lake Powell affect the washing schedule?
Lake Powell, just east of the community, is one of the largest coastal dune lakes in Florida, and homes between the lake and the Gulf get moisture from both sides. North and east walls stay damp longer, and mildew shows up there first.
Most Inlet Beach homes do well with a full wash every 6 to 9 months and a pool-deck clean before the busy season. Sealed pavers need resealing roughly every 2 to 3 years in this sun.
