About Uplifted Exteriors

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Pinellas Park and serve Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, Seminole and Pinellas Park. If you are nearby and not sure we cover your street, just ask.

How do I get a quote?

Call or text (727) 788-4801 or email upliftedexteriors@gmail.com. Tell us what you want cleaned and we will set up a free quote. We are available Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

Is your cleaning method safe for my roof and siding?

Yes. Roofs, siding and stucco are soft washed with low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills algae, mildew and lichen. High pressure is saved for concrete and pavers, which can handle it. We also pre-wet, protect and rinse your plants.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

Usually not. As long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot, we can do the work while you are out and let you know when the job is done.

Driveway & Concrete Cleaning

About driveway & concrete cleaning

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

Usually not. As long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot and the areas to be cleaned, we can do the work while you are out. We will let you know when we are done.

Will pressure washing damage my concrete?

Concrete is built to handle pressure washing. Using a rotary surface cleaner keeps the nozzle at a steady distance, which gives an even clean and avoids the gouges and stripes a wand held too close can cause.

Can you get oil stains out of my driveway?

We pre-treat oil stains before washing, and many lift out or fade a lot. Old oil that has soaked deep into the concrete may not come out fully. We will be honest with you about what to expect when we look at it.

Is the cleaning solution safe for my lawn and plants?

We pre-wet your landscaping before we start and rinse it again when we finish. That helps protect your grass, shrubs and flower beds from overspray.

House Washing

About house washing

Will you use a pressure washer on my house?

Not at high pressure. Siding, stucco, painted wood and stone veneer are soft washed. High pressure can crack stucco, strip paint and push water behind siding, so we rely on the cleaning solution to do the work.

Do I need to be home during the wash?

Usually not. If we can reach an outdoor water spigot, we can do the job while you are at work. Just keep windows and doors closed that day.

Is the cleaning solution safe for my plants and pets?

We pre-wet your plants, protect them during the wash and rinse them afterward. We ask that pets stay inside until the job is done and the walls are rinsed.

How often should I get my house washed?

Algae and mildew grow back over time, especially on shaded walls. Many homeowners book once a year, and also before painting, selling or hosting a big event.

Can you clean my driveway or roof the same day?

Yes. We also offer driveway and concrete cleaning, roof cleaning, solar panel cleaning and paver and concrete sealing. Ask about combining them when you request your free quote.

Roof Cleaning

About roof cleaning

Will cleaning my roof damage the shingles?

Not with a soft wash. We use low pressure and a cleaning solution, not a pressure washer. High pressure can strip granules off shingles, so we never use it on a roof.

Do you clean tile and metal roofs too?

Yes. Shingle, tile and metal roofs all get the same soft wash approach. We adjust how the solution is applied based on the surface.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

Usually not. As long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot, we can do the work and let you know when it is finished.

Will the cleaning solution hurt my plants?

We pre-wet your landscaping before we start and rinse it again after. This keeps the solution diluted so it does not sit on your plants.

How do I get a price for my roof?

Quotes are free. Call David at (727) 788-4801 or email upliftedexteriors@gmail.com, and we will look at your roof size and type before giving you a number.

Solar Panel Cleaning

About solar panel cleaning

Do you use a pressure washer on solar panels?

No high pressure. Solar panels are glass with seals around the edges, so we use low-pressure water and soft brushes. That cleans the surface without forcing water into seals or scratching the glass.

Do I need to be home while you clean?

Usually not. If we have access to an outdoor water spigot, we can do the job while you are out and let you know when we are finished.

Will cleaning affect my panel warranty?

Some panel makers have cleaning guidelines. It is a good idea to check yours. Let us know about any rules when you call, and we will work within them.

How often should solar panels be cleaned in Clearwater?

It depends on what lands on your roof. Homes near trees, with lots of birds, or close to the water tend to get dirty faster. Many owners book after spring pollen or when they see a visible film on the glass.

Can you clean my roof at the same visit?

Yes. We also offer roof cleaning, which uses a soft wash method with no high pressure. Ask about both when you request your free quote.

Paver & Concrete Sealing

About paver & concrete sealing

Do I need to be home while you work?

Usually not. If we have access to an outdoor water spigot, we can clean and seal while you are at work or out for the day.

Do you clean the pavers before sealing them?

Yes. Every sealing job starts with a full pressure wash and stain pre-treatment. Sealing over dirt or mildew would trap it under the coat.

How soon can I park on my driveway after sealing?

It depends on the sealer and the weather that day. Before we leave, we will tell you when it is safe to walk on and when it is safe to drive on.

Can you seal a plain concrete driveway, not just pavers?

Yes. We seal both brick pavers and concrete flatwork like driveways, walkways and patios.

How do I get a price?

Call or email us for a free quote. We will look at the size and condition of the area and give you a clear price before any work starts.
