Punta Gorda pressure washing covers a mix the rest of the region does not have in the same proportions: a historic grid downtown with older homes and metal roofs, and the canal communities out toward the harbour with newer tile. Those two want different handling, and a company that only ever works one side of the region sometimes does not know it.

Metal roofs are their own job
There are more metal roofs here than in most of Southwest Florida and they are the roof type most often cleaned badly.
- Low pressure only, same as tile and shingle
- The cleaning solution matters more than on other roofs. The wrong mix can dull, streak or spot a coated finish, even at low pressure
- Run off from a metal roof carries whatever the coating sheds, so planting underneath wants wetting down first
Ask what solution is being used on a metal roof and whether they have done coated metal before. It is a fair question and a good company will have an answer.
Harbour and canal homes
Same pattern as the rest of the region: it is humidity rather than salt that drives the algae, and a lot on water holds damp around the house overnight so growth runs faster. Where the water does matter is on metal fixings and fasteners, which corrode. A cleaner can tell you what they can see up there, but rust and flashing are a roofer’s problem.
If you have a dock or a seawall cap, those are usually quoted separately and usually cheap to add to an existing visit.

Questions people ask
Can a metal roof be pressure washed?
It should not be. Low pressure soft wash only, and with a solution chosen for the finish. High pressure on metal drives water under panels and can damage a coating.
Is Punta Gorda in Lee County?
No. Punta Gorda is in Charlotte County. That matters if you are looking up county rules, because Lee and Collier information does not apply here.
Do you clean docks and seawalls?
Those are usually quoted as separate line items. Worth adding to a visit you are already paying the minimum charge on.
