Before you call
Short answers before you call
Straight answers to the things people ask before they book. If yours is not here, text 786-985-1684 and ask.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Little Haiti and work the north side of Miami: Little River, the Upper Eastside, Wynwood, Edgewater, Liberty City and Allapattah, plus Miami Shores, El Portal, Biscayne Park, North Miami, North Miami Beach, Miami Gardens, Opa-locka and Hialeah. Not sure you're in range? Text the address to 786-985-1684 and we will tell you straight.
What do you clean?
Driveways and pavers with a surface cleaner, front walks and sidewalks, gutters cleared by hand and flushed, and roofs cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash. You can book more than one on the same visit.
Do you pressure wash roofs?
No. Tile and shingle are cleaned with a soft wash: low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills the algae. High pressure strips shingle granules and cracks tile. Pressure stays on the concrete.
How do I get a quote?
Text the address and a photo of the driveway, sidewalk, gutters or roof to 786-985-1684, or send the form. We look at it and come back with one number for the whole job.
Do you publish prices?
No. A driveway with a year of mildew and one with 5 years of black growth and oil are different jobs, so every job is quoted after we see it. The number we give you is the number we work to.
What are your hours?
7 am to 7 pm, Monday to Saturday. Texts sent on a Sunday get answered Monday morning.
Who shows up?
The owner. The Boss is a one-man crew, so the person you text is the person on the driveway with the surface cleaner and on the ladder at the gutters.
Do I need to be home?
No, as long as the outside spigot works and the cars are off the driveway. Leave the side gate unlocked if the gutters or the back walk are on the list. Text 786-985-1684 the morning of if anything changes.
Will pressure washing damage my driveway?
Not with a surface cleaner at the right height and pressure. Damage comes from a bare wand held too close, which etches lines into the concrete. Old or flaking concrete gets lower pressure and more dwell time on the cleaner instead.
Can you get the rust and the black spots off the concrete?
Rust from sprinklers or iron furniture needs its own remover, not more pressure, and usually lifts. Black spots in the aggregate are algae and come out with a pre-treatment. Very old, deep stains may lighten rather than vanish. Text a photo to 786-985-1684 and we will be honest about it.
What is a soft wash?
A cleaning solution applied at garden-hose pressure, left to sit for a few minutes, then rinsed. It kills the algae and mildew at the root instead of blasting the top off, which is why a soft washed roof stays clean longer.
Is the roof cleaning solution safe for my plants?
The beds and the lawn get wet down before we start, the runoff is kept off them during the wash, and everything is rinsed again at the end. Tell us about anything rare or sensitive near the house and it gets covered.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Miami?
Under oaks, ficus or a mango tree, twice a year: once before the summer rains and once after the pods and leaves drop. Away from trees, once a year usually holds. If water sheets over the edge in a storm, it is time.
How often should a driveway be washed in Miami?
Most Miami driveways are ready again after about a year. Shaded concrete under trees and anything hit by sprinklers goes green and rust-stained faster. Text a photo and we will tell you if it is time.
Do you clean the public sidewalk in front of the house?
Yes. The strip between your walk and the street is part of the job when you want it. Ficus root heave and cracks stay, but the black and green film and the gum come off.
Can you do more than one thing in one visit?
Yes. Roof, gutters, driveway and sidewalk on one visit is the usual order: roof first so the runoff does not dirty a clean driveway. Tell us everything you want done and we will quote it as one job.
