UBA crews now cover Fort Myers and Lee County, soft washing roofs, pavers, and siding at 100 to 200 PSI, with a written 5-year sealer option on the roof.
Hurricane Ian came ashore in Lee County in September 2022, and the rebuild that followed put an enormous number of new roofs on Fort Myers homes in a very short window. Three and four years later, a large share of this market is sitting under roofing that still carries active manufacturer warranty coverage, which changes what is at stake the first time somebody points a wand at it. A pressure washer set for concrete will strip granules off a two-year-old shingle roof and crack barrel tile that has barely weathered, and the warranty language that would have covered a defect stops covering anything once the maintenance spec has been ignored. Permit records for that rebuild period sit with the Lee County Department of Community Development if you ever need to confirm when your own roof went on.
Homeowners tend to assume a sealer is something you get around to once a roof starts looking tired, but the economics run the other way. Sealing a roof that is still clean and structurally fresh is the cheapest version of the job you will ever buy, since there is no heavy biological growth to strip first and the surface is in the condition the chemistry was designed for. On a roof that went on in 2023 or 2024, HydroLock is protecting an asset with most of its service life still ahead of it rather than trying to buy time on one that is already in decline.
Fort Myers sits where the Caloosahatchee meets a coastline of barrier islands, so a roof here is holding humidity off the river and salt off the Gulf at the same time. Salt residue is mildly hygroscopic, meaning it holds moisture against the surface longer than a comparable inland roof ever deals with, and that extra dwell time is exactly what algae, lichen, and moss need to establish. Roof planes facing open water almost always show the heaviest staining first, which is why we vary chemistry and dwell time by plane instead of running one uniform pass across the whole roof.
We will be straight about this, since the alternative is a marketing claim nobody should believe. UBA is expanding into Fort Myers, and we do not have twenty years of Lee County job history to point at. What comes down I-75 with the crew is everything that earned a 4.9 rating across 410+ reviews further north: the same 15-step protocol, the same custom-built equipment, the same color-team structure, and the same written guarantee, applied by people who have been doing this on Florida roofs for years. The address on the truck is new here. The method behind it is not.
Most Southwest Florida homeowners call about one surface and end up scheduling three, because the crew is already on site and the mobilization cost only gets paid once. Here is what we handle, and which of it we would put on your roof versus your pavers.
Every roof gets soft washed at 100 to 200 PSI, with chemistry doing the work instead of force. That covers clay barrel tile, concrete flat tile, asphalt composition shingle, and metal, including galvanized panels and roofs with face screws. The full technical breakdown lives on our roof soft washing page if you want the deeper read, and the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association publishes the same low-pressure guidance for shingle maintenance that we follow.
Stucco, vinyl, hardie, and painted block all get a low-pressure wash with a surfactant matched to the substrate, which lifts the green film and the chalking without driving water behind the finish. Homes along the McGregor corridor and out toward Iona tend to show it worst on the north and east elevations where the sun never fully dries the wall.
Pavers get cleaned, re-sanded with polymeric sand where the joints have washed out, and sealed if you want the color locked in and the weeds kept down. Paver work runs about a fifth of our total volume, so this is not a sideline we picked up to fill a truck. Full detail on the paver cleaning and sealing process covers the sand and sealer decisions in depth.
Cage frames get washed and can be treated with a UV compound that roughly doubles the life of the paint on the aluminum, which matters more here than most places given the sun load and the salt. Screens, tracks, and the deck underneath come as part of the same visit.
Concrete flatwork is the one surface where higher pressure is actually correct, and we use a rotary surface cleaner rather than a wand so you do not end up with the striping that a hand-held pass leaves behind. See the sidewalk and walkway cleaning page for the method, and note that gutter cleaning is a separate line item worth adding while the crew is already up there.
There is no shortage of trucks in Southwest Florida with a pressure washer in the bed and a number that undercuts everyone, and for pressure washing Fort Myers driveways and sidewalks that is a perfectly reasonable way to spend your money. On a roof that went back on after a hurricane and still carries live warranty coverage, the math changes completely.
A price over the phone before anyone has looked at the roof, then a truck, a wand, and whatever pressure setting clears the algae fastest.
Somebody asks what kind of roof you have and when it went on before quoting anything, and the same 15-step protocol runs whether it is a first cleaning or a five-year HydroLock renewal.
Both approaches leave a roof looking clean the afternoon the crew drives off, which is the whole reason the low-bid model survives. The difference surfaces two or three years out, when the forced-water job has quietly pushed moisture past the underlayment lap and the granule loss has started showing as bare spots, versus a soft-washed roof that either still looks right or has a written guarantee behind it that pays for the retreatment. On a Fort Myers roof with most of its warranty window still open, that gap is the difference between a maintenance line item and a claim nobody will honor.
HydroLock is UBA’s proprietary trademarked sealer, co-developed by our founder, and it is the only vapor-permeable roof sealer marketed in Florida carrying a written 5-year guarantee. Roughly 70 percent of our roof cleaning customers add it, and in a market where salt air pushes regrowth faster than inland conditions do, the interval math usually decides it on its own.
The written 5-year guarantee is not limited to biological growth. It also covers surface fading, tile slippage, and tile cracking attributable to HydroLock’s adhesive chemistry, so the coverage sits on the sealer itself rather than only on the algae it is designed to block. If growth returns inside the five-year window, we retreat the affected area at no charge.
HydroLock is genuinely vapor-permeable, which is what lets it go on clay barrel tile, concrete flat tile, asphalt composition shingle, galvanized metal, and metal with face screws without trapping moisture in the assembly underneath. On shingle it helps hold granules and restores some flexibility to brittle surfaces. If somebody told you it was a tile-only product, that is outdated information.
Every HydroLock job includes a 12-month drone inspection with dated aerial photography documenting the roof’s condition, and you get a written report each cycle. That paper trail is worth more than the photos themselves, because it gives you a documented maintenance history on a roof whose manufacturer warranty may still have a decade left on it.
Without a sealer, a Southwest Florida roof exposed to coastal humidity and salt air needs cleaning every 12 to 18 months, and waterfront properties land on the short end of that range. With HydroLock, the interval stretches to five years with the guarantee behind it. Across a ten-year ownership window that is roughly six to eight cleanings versus about two, with a dated inspection report generated each cycle instead of a bare invoice.
A person answers, asks what roof type you have, when it went on, whether you still hold manufacturer coverage, and which surfaces you are thinking about. That last question matters more than it sounds, since bundling the roof, the pavers, and the cage into one visit is what keeps the mobilization cost from getting paid three separate times.
A UBA estimator walks the property, checks pitch, substrate, growth severity, access, and landscaping, and gives you a written number before leaving. There is no service call fee and no obligation to book. If HydroLock does not make sense on your timeline, you will hear that too, since selling a five-year sealer to somebody planning to list the house in six months helps nobody.
Every quote we have ever written came off the specific roof it was written for, and a number posted on a web page cannot account for the things that actually move it: roof size and pitch, substrate, how far the growth has progressed, whether a lift is needed for access, how much landscaping has to be protected, and whether a sealer is going on afterward. Companies that post a flat rate are either quoting the easiest possible job and adjusting on site, or they are pricing for the worst case and overcharging everyone else. We would rather give you the real number, in writing, after somebody has actually looked.
The crew stages equipment, pre-wets and protects landscaping inside the dripline, and works the roof top-down plane by plane with overlap so nothing gets missed, giving shaded and low-pitch sections extra dwell time since that is where growth is always worst. A neutralizer rinse runs at the perimeter afterward as standard scope, never as an upsell.
The crew lead walks the property with you before leaving, points out anything noted during the work, and documents completion in writing. Standard cleaning carries a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. HydroLock jobs step up to the written 5-year guarantee with the annual drone inspections described above.
Pressure washing Fort Myers properties means covering a city that spreads from the historic downtown out past the airport, so here is the coverage by ZIP rather than a vague radius claim.
| ZIP | Area |
|---|---|
| 33901 | Downtown and the historic river district |
| 33905 | Fort Myers Shores and east along State Road 80 |
| 33907 | South Fort Myers and the Bell Tower corridor |
| 33908 | Iona, south McGregor, and Punta Rassa |
| 33912 | Daniels Parkway and Six Mile Cypress |
| 33913 | Gateway and the airport corridor |
| 33916 | East Fort Myers |
| 33919 | Whiskey Creek and the McGregor corridor |
| 33966 | Colonial Boulevard corridor |
| 33967 | San Carlos Park |
| 33903 | North Fort Myers, south end |
| 33917 | North Fort Myers, north end |
Gated and golf communities make up a large share of what we do further north, and the ones we expect to schedule in Fort Myers include Gateway, Pelican Preserve, Verandah, Paseo, Colonial Country Club, Heritage Palms, Fiddlesticks, The Forest, Town and River, Whiskey Creek, and the McGregor corridor down through Iona. Nearby Lee County coverage under review includes Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, San Carlos Park, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, and Lehigh Acres.
Our base is in Sarasota, about 75 miles up I-75, and we would rather tell you that plainly than let you find out from the truck’s plate. What it means in practice is that Fort Myers jobs get batched into routed days rather than dispatched one at a time, so scheduling here works best when we can give you a window a little further out than a same-week call would get you in Sarasota. It also means the crew arrives with a fully stocked custom trailer and backup systems on board, because there is no shop five minutes away to run back to.
Every review below is a real, verified Google review from a completed UBA job. We do not buy reviews, trade for them, or discount a job in exchange for one.
Every review above came from a job somewhere else along the Gulf Coast, and we are not going to dress one up as local. Fort Myers is new for us, so the honest position is that our track record here starts with your job rather than ending with it. What we can promise is that the same protocol, the same equipment, and the same written guarantee that produced those 410+ reviews are what show up in your driveway, and if we earn a Fort Myers review it will get added here the way every other one did.
We serve it. Our base is in Sarasota, about 75 miles up I-75, and pressure washing Fort Myers jobs run on batched route days rather than one-off dispatches. Scheduling here usually means a window slightly further out than a Sarasota call would get, and the crew arrives with a fully stocked trailer because there is no local shop to run back to.
Standard pressure washing absolutely can, since most manufacturer maintenance specs call for low-pressure or chemical cleaning and treat high-pressure washing as an excluded method. That is exactly why we check warranty status at the intake call, before quoting. Soft washing at 100 to 200 PSI is the method those specs describe, so the coverage stays intact.
Once the roof is fully cured and the installer has signed off, which for most tile and shingle systems means a matter of weeks rather than months. Sealing early is the cheaper version of the job, since there is no established growth to strip first and the surface is in exactly the condition the chemistry was formulated for.
It depends on square footage, roof pitch and substrate, growth severity, access, how much landscaping needs protecting, and whether a sealer goes on afterward. We do not publish a price range because any number posted online would be misleading on most of the homes that read it. You get the exact figure in writing at a free on-site estimate with no service call fee and no obligation.
All of them. Clay barrel tile, concrete flat tile, asphalt composition shingle, galvanized metal, and metal roofs with face screws all get soft washed, and all of them are compatible with HydroLock. The chemistry and dwell time change by substrate; the low-pressure method does not.
No, provided the crew does the prep, which ours does as standard scope rather than as an add-on. Sensitive plantings inside the dripline get pre-wet before any chemistry goes down, and a neutralizer rinse runs at the perimeter once the job is finished.
It helps for the walkthrough at either end, but it is not required. Most cleanings run 2 to 5 hours depending on scope, and we coordinate gate codes, lockbox access, or a property manager handoff in advance, which matters in a market with as many seasonal residents as this one.
We watch the 48-hour forecast before every job and reschedule at no cost if precipitation probability goes above 30 percent inside 24 hours of application. Soft wash chemistry needs dwell time on the surface to break down growth, and rain rinses it off before it can do the work.
Yes. UBA operates as Pressure Washing By Yoder LLC with full liability and workers compensation coverage, and certificates are available on request. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation maintains a public searchable database if you want to verify us or anyone else before letting a crew on your roof.
Tell us your roof type, roughly when it went on, and which surfaces you want handled. You get a straight number in writing, and an honest answer on whether a sealer is worth it for your timeline.
Nothing here is an upgrade you have to ask for, and none of it is contingent on booking on the spot.
