House Exterior Before & After

Naples stucco is porous and holds algae and mildew in the texture profile. Black vertical streaks below soffits, green coverage on north-facing walls, and salt deposit staining on coastal homes are the most common presentation. Soft wash at 40 to 80 PSI — appropriate for stucco — kills biological growth at the root without erosion, paint damage, or moisture intrusion. Results on stucco typically last 18 to 24 months.

House Soft Wash — Coastal Salt Deposit & Algae

Gulf-Adjacent Home — Salt Air Deposits & Algae

Two-story CBS block home near Vanderbilt Beach with combined salt air mineral deposits and green algae across all Gulf-facing elevations. Salt deposits bond to stucco and create an adhesion layer that accelerates algae growth. Soft wash solution formulated for coastal salt-bonded staining — neutralizes mineral content before cleaning. Complete exterior restoration including window frames, soffits, and entry columns.

High-pressure washing on stucco forces water behind the surface, erodes the texture profile over time, and can cause paint failure within weeks of cleaning. More importantly, it removes visible staining but leaves the biological organism alive in the pores — regrowth appears within months. Soft wash kills the organism at the cellular root, producing results that last 18 to 24 months on Naples stucco versus 3 to 6 months from pressure washing.
