Building Washing in Miramar & Surrounding Broward Neighborhoods
The problem we see
Miramar has some of Broward's newest construction, but South Florida humidity doesn't care how new your house is — algae and mildew show up within a year on every elevation that doesn't get full sun. We keep Miramar's planned communities looking model-home fresh with annual soft-wash service.
How we approach it
Office buildings, medical plazas, schools, hotels, multi-family residential, mixed-use developments — we soft wash building exteriors all over Broward. The approach is the same as residential, just with bigger equipment, larger crews built for scale, and project management built around minimizing disruption to tenants and operations.
What to expect on the day
Most commercial buildings get hit by the same things houses do — algae, mildew, salt residue, traffic film, exhaust, bird residue — but they're often three to six stories taller, with more glass, more architectural detail, and more delicate surfaces (EIFS, painted stucco, metal panel, glass curtain wall). We adjust chemistry, pressure and access methods accordingly.
What sets us apart
We coordinate with property managers, building owners, HOAs and condo associations on access, parking, drainage, tenant notice, and stormwater compliance. We've got the COI ready to go before we mobilize, we post tenant notices 24–48 hours in advance, and we work in coordinated phases so we're never closing the entire parking lot or blocking all access at once.
Getting a quote
Annual or semi-annual washing genuinely extends paint and finish life. We've watched commercial buildings in Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale go from needing repaint every eight years to lasting fifteen years instead, just by adding consistent washing to the maintenance schedule. The math heavily favors washing.
The bottom line
Most commercial building wash projects take one to four days depending on size. We work in coordinated crews of three to six people, with a project lead on site at all times for owner and PM contact.
What's included
Every job comes with the same checklist. No surprises.
- Soft wash of all building exteriors
- Algae, mildew and biofilm kill at the root
- Stucco, EIFS, painted concrete, brick, metal panel — all surfaces handled
- Window rinse included on most jobs
- Architectural details, columns, signage, decorative features
- COI sent to management before mobilization
- Tenant communication and 24–48 hour notice
- Coordinated parking lot phasing
- Stormwater-compliant water management
- Daily progress reports and final walkthrough with PM
How it works
Site walk
Square footage, surfaces, access plan, parking impact, tenant communication needs. We walk the building with you or the property manager and produce a written scope and schedule.
Coordinate
Tenant notices posted 24–48 hours ahead, parking phasing planned, COI sent to management, water source and drainage confirmed. No surprises on day one.
Soft wash
Crew works methodically across elevations in coordinated phases. Lift access where needed, water-fed pole for mid-height, traditional access for ground level. Project lead on site for the duration.
Final walkthrough
Walk the property with the PM, address any touch-ups on the spot, deliver final photo report. Invoicing happens after sign-off, not before.
Why this matters in South Florida
South Florida's climate is brutal on exteriors
Buildings near the Intracoastal and the ocean (any of the beach cities — Pompano, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Hallandale) pick up salt film that locks dirt onto the building surface. Inland buildings collect more pollen and exhaust film from traffic, especially along major arterials like Federal Highway, US-1, A1A and the major east-west avenues.
Why proper technique matters here
Annual cleaning extends paint life dramatically. The math: a $4,000 annual wash on a mid-size office building is far less expensive than the $40,000+ repaint job that comes due years sooner if you let biofilm eat the paint. We've watched buildings go from washing every year to needing repaint every fifteen years instead of every eight.
Coastal vs. inland realities
EIFS (synthetic stucco) buildings need extra care. The wrong chemistry or too much pressure damages the finish coat. We use EIFS-safe detergents and dialed-down pressure on these surfaces, which are common on newer commercial construction in Plantation, Sunrise and West Pompano.
HOA, insurance, and resale pressure
Insurance carriers and property tax assessors increasingly factor visible building condition into their evaluations. A clean, well-maintained building helps with insurance renewals, property tax appeals, and refinancing inspections. The ROI on annual washing is much better than property managers usually realize.
Seasonal timing that pays off
Tenant retention is the other big factor. Buildings that look maintained retain tenants and command higher rents. Tenants notice when the building exterior is dirty — it tells them ownership isn't paying attention to the rest of the property either.
More about this service
Miramar's newer developments use a lot of Hardie board, painted stucco and barrel tile — all of which respond well to soft washing but need different dwell times. Heat-island effect from all the new construction also amplifies humidity, accelerating biofilm growth.
Signs it's time to call us
If any of these sound familiar, you're overdue.
What affects the price
Every property is different. These are the things we look at when we quote.
- Total square footage of exterior
- Number of stories and access methods required
- Surface materials (EIFS, stucco, metal panel, glass curtain)
- Severity of biofilm and salt buildup
- Access — lift required, parking lot closures, scaffolding
- Tenant communication complexity
- Stormwater capture requirements
- Annual contract vs. one-time service
