Driveways

Free Quote

Many St. Augustine homes have older brick or coquina-bordered driveways that trap moisture and algae. Salt spray from the beach makes the buildup even worse. We clean concrete, pavers, brick, and stamped surfaces without harming delicate edges or historic materials.

  • Safe for coquina and aged brick
  • Oil and tire mark treatment
  • Salt residue removal

Sidewalks & Walkways

Free Quote

Walkways near downtown and the historic district collect green algae fast in the salty, humid air. Slippery paths are a real hazard for guests at B&Bs and vacation rentals. We make your walkways safe and spotless for visitors and buyers alike.

  • B&B and rental guest safety
  • Historic brick path cleaning
  • Front porch and entryway

Patios & Pool Decks

Free Quote

Living on Anastasia Island or near St. Augustine Beach means your pool deck fights constant salt film and algae. The combination makes surfaces dangerously slick. We clean concrete, travertine, and pavers so your outdoor space is safe and ready for company.

  • Salt film and algae removal
  • Travertine and paver safe
  • Outdoor kitchen and lanai

Fences & Walls

Free Quote

Stucco walls and older wood fences are common in St. Augustine's historic neighborhoods like Lincolnville and Abbott Tract. Salt air corrodes these materials faster than inland areas. We adjust pressure carefully to restore the look without causing any damage to soft or aged surfaces.

  • Stucco and tabby wall safe
  • Wood and vinyl fencing
  • Block and ornamental iron

Screen Enclosures

Free Quote

The salt-heavy breeze off the Matanzas River and the Atlantic leaves a hazy film on pool cage screens and lanai enclosures. You can barely see through them after a few months. We gently wash every screen, frame, and track so your view is crystal clear again.

  • Salt haze and film removal
  • Lanai and porch enclosures
  • Low pressure to protect screens

Commercial

Custom Quote

Millions of tourists walk St. George Street, King Street, and the bayfront every year. If your storefront or restaurant patio looks dirty, visitors notice. We clean commercial walkways, building fronts, parking areas, and dumpster pads to keep your business looking sharp.

  • St. George Street storefronts
  • Restaurant patios and walkways
  • After-hours and weekend jobs

Soft Wash Roof Questions

Here are the questions St. Augustine homeowners ask us the most about soft wash roof cleaning and pressure washing.

Is soft wash roof cleaning safe for barrel tile and coquina-trimmed homes in St. Augustine?
Yes. Soft wash roof cleaning uses very low pressure and a gentle cleaning solution. It is the safest way to clean barrel tile, clay tile, and homes with coquina trim. High pressure can crack tile and pit older masonry. Our soft wash method kills algae and mold at the root without harming the surface. That is why so many historic homeowners in St. Augustine trust us with roof washing.
How often should I soft wash my roof in coastal St. Augustine?
In coastal St. Augustine, we recommend a soft wash roof cleaning every 2 to 3 years. Salt air, ocean humidity, and shade from old oak trees speed up algae and mildew growth. Homes near Anastasia Island, Vilano Beach, or the Matanzas River may need it sooner. Regular roof washing protects your shingles and tile and extends the life of your roof.
Is GatorTop a licensed Florida roofing contractor?
Yes. GatorTop Roofing is a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor, license number CCC1337598. Our team is based in St. Augustine and has 20+ years of roofing experience. That means certified roof cleaning, soft wash roof care, and full roofing services all come from a licensed local contractor you can trust. Need a full check? Book a free roof inspection along with your wash.
How often should I pressure wash my property?
We suggest at least once a year for most St. Augustine properties. Homes on Anastasia Island, Vilano Beach, or anywhere close to the ocean may need it every six months because salt air speeds up algae and mold growth. Properties with heavy tree shade or north-facing surfaces also get dirty faster. Vacation rentals often benefit from seasonal cleanings before tourist season picks up.
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
Yes. We apply commercial-strength degreasers that break down oil and grease deep in the surface. Very old stains may lighten a lot rather than vanish completely, but most oil spots come out well. St. Augustine's porous older concrete can absorb oil quickly, so the sooner you call, the better the result.
Do you offer same-day pressure washing?
We do our best to fit you in quickly. Most of the time we can schedule within a day or two. Bigger projects usually land within the same week. If you have a vacation rental turnover or an HOA deadline in Nocatee or Palencia, let us know and we will work to meet your timeline.
Do you pressure wash commercial properties?
Absolutely. We clean storefronts along St. George Street, restaurant patios on the bayfront, King Street business entrances, parking areas, dumpster pads, and building exteriors. We schedule after hours or on weekends so foot traffic and your daily business are not disrupted.
Surface Guide

How We Clean Different Surfaces

Every material needs a different approach. Here is how we handle each one.

Concrete

The most common surface we clean. Concrete is tough and can handle higher pressure. We use 3,000 to 4,000 PSI with a surface cleaner for even results. Oil stains get a degreaser treatment first. Most concrete driveways and patios look brand new after one pass.

Method

High Pressure + Surface Cleaner

Time

1 to 3 Hours

Best For

Driveways, Sidewalks, Patios, Pool Decks

Why Pressure Wash?

Salt Air and Coastal Humidity Attack Every Surface.

St. Augustine sits right on the Atlantic coast. The salt-filled breeze blows inland every single day. It lands on your driveway, your patio, your fences, and your walkways. That salt traps moisture and feeds mold and algae growth faster than anywhere inland. Surfaces that look fine one month can turn green and black the next.

Older building materials are hit the hardest. Coquina, tabby, aged brick, and stucco are porous. They soak up moisture and stains much deeper than modern concrete. If you own a historic property near the Castillo or in Lincolnville, you already know how quickly things get dirty. Gentle, professional pressure washing in St. Augustine FL is the safest way to protect these surfaces.

St. Augustine also runs on tourism. Vacation rentals on Anastasia Island and bed-and-breakfasts downtown need to look their best every day of the year. Annual power washing in St. Augustine keeps your curb appeal strong and prevents small buildup from turning into permanent damage.

Roof Cleaning Guide

Why Your Roof Needs Professional Cleaning

Those dark black streaks on your roof are not dirt or aging. They are a living organism called Gloeocapsa magma. It is a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles. Once it takes hold, it spreads fast across the entire roof. Left alone, it shortens the life of your roofing materials by years.

A dirty roof does more than look bad. It traps heat and drives up your energy bills. It voids some manufacturer warranties. And many Florida insurance companies now require regular roof cleaning before they will renew your policy. If you skip it, you risk losing coverage altogether.

Here is something most homeowners do not realize. Many people think they need a full roof replacement when all they really need is a professional roof cleaning. A proper soft wash roof cleaning removes years of algae, mold, and mildew for a fraction of the cost. Your roof can look brand new again without tearing off a single shingle.

Soft wash is the only safe method for roof washing. High-pressure water blasts shingles apart, breaks tile, and strips protective coatings off metal roofs. Professional roof cleaning uses a low-pressure application with cleaning solutions that kill algae at the root. The results last longer and your roof stays protected.

How Our Roof Soft Wash Process Works

1

Full Roof Inspection

We start by inspecting every section of your roof. We look for cracked tiles, lifted shingles, damaged flashing, and the type of growth present. This tells us exactly what cleaning approach your roof needs.

2

Plant Protection

Before we apply anything, we soak all landscaping, bushes, and flower beds around your home. We cover delicate plants when needed. Your yard stays safe throughout the entire roof cleaning process.

3

Soft Wash Application

We apply our low-pressure cleaning solution across the entire roof surface. It kills algae, mold, mildew, and moss at the root without damaging shingles or tiles. No high-pressure water ever touches your roof.

4

Gentle Rinse

We finish with a gentle rinse that washes away all the dead algae and residue. Your roof comes out looking years younger. We also rinse all surrounding areas to leave your entire property spotless.

We Clean Every Type of Roof

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Asphalt shingles are the most common roof type in Florida and the most likely to develop black algae streaks. Our soft wash roof cleaning removes every trace of Gloeocapsa magma without lifting or cracking a single shingle. Most shingle roof cleaning jobs are done in under three hours.

Tile Roofs

Concrete and clay tile roofs are built to last decades. But algae, lichen, and moss build up in the gaps and make them look old and worn. Our tile roof cleaning uses low pressure so nothing cracks or shifts. We clean between every tile for a result that looks factory fresh.

Metal Roofs

Standing seam and corrugated metal roofs develop oxidation, rust spots, and green algae over time. High-pressure washing strips their protective coatings and causes early failure. Our soft wash method cleans the surface safely and keeps the factory finish intact for years to come.

Flat and TPO Roofs

Flat roofs and TPO membranes collect standing water, debris, and algae growth faster than pitched roofs. Regular professional roof cleaning prevents ponding damage and extends membrane life. We clean the entire surface and clear all drains so water flows the way it should.
