Start the New Year HOA-Compliant: How Pressure Washing Keeps You in Good Standing

Don’t let this be your home in the new year—avoid costly HOA violations with AAA Pressure Washing’s expert exterior cleaning in Cape Coral & Fort Myers.

The new year brings a fresh start—not just for families, but for HOAs too. After the holidays, many associations resume regular inspections, which often leads to a spike in violation notices. At AAA Pressure Washing, we see an uptick in calls every January and February from homeowners looking to quickly remedy these violations and avoid fines.

For Cape Coral and Fort Myers residents, the most common issues are almost always exterior-related—dirty driveways, moldy siding, black-streaked roofs, and neglected pool areas. The good news? These problems can be resolved or prevented with professional pressure washing.

Here’s a look at the most common HOA violations at the start of the year—and how we help homeowners fix them fast!

1. Driveways, Sidewalks & Pavers Looking Worse for Wear

Few things make an HOA send out notices faster than stained driveways, dirty sidewalks, or weed-filled pavers. These high-traffic areas are the first thing neighbors and buyers notice. Florida’s climate only adds to the problem, with oil stains, mildew, and rust streaks popping up year-round.

Solution: Routine driveway and paver cleaning removes stubborn buildup and keeps surfaces looking fresh. Add paver sealing, and you’ll protect against future stains and shifting while extending their lifespan. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), exterior cleaning like pressure washing can add 5–10% to a home’s resale value—so it’s an investment that pays off.

2. Mold, Mildew & Streaky Soffits

In humid Southwest Florida, exterior walls and soffits are magnets for mold, mildew, and dirt. Overflowing gutters can leave streaks and stains that quickly turn into HOA violations.

Solution: Soft washing is the safe and effective way to remove algae and grime from siding and soffits without damaging your paint. Pair it with gutter cleaning to prevent overflows and water stains. InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors) notes that unchecked mold and algae speed up siding deterioration—making regular cleanings even more important.

3. Roofs Covered in Black Streaks

Those dark streaks you see on shingle or tile roofs aren’t just ugly—they’re often algae colonies. Not only do they hurt curb appeal, but they can also shorten the life of your roof. And yes, HOAs issue violations for it.

Solution: AAA Pressure Washing specializes in low-pressure roof cleaning that kills algae at the root while protecting your roof materials. Routine cleanings not only keep you compliant but also save you money on costly repairs or early roof replacements.

4. Fences Losing Their Shine

Whether wood or vinyl, fences take a beating from the sun, rain, and humidity. Discoloration, mildew, and stains make them stand out—in the worst way.

Solution: Fence cleaning services bring fences back to life, improving the overall look of your property. Since fences are often shared or highly visible, clean fences also help maintain a consistent look across the community.

5. Neglected Pool Decks & Screen Enclosures

Nothing makes a backyard feel less inviting than a dirty pool deck or algae-coated screen enclosure. HOAs often require these spaces to stay clean, both for looks and for safety.

Solution: AAA Pressure Washing offers specialized pool deck and screen enclosure cleaning, making these areas slip-resistant, bright, and HOA-approved. Clean pool areas aren’t just safer—they’re more enjoyable for family and guests.
