About Cannon Exterior Cleaning in St. Augustine, FL
Cannon Exterior Cleaning started with a simple premise: St. Augustine's coastal environment creates exterior cleaning challenges that most pressure washers are not equipped to handle. The business was built specifically around solving them.

Who We Are
Why Cannon Exterior Cleaning Was Built for St. Augustine
Jake Cannon founded Cannon Exterior Cleaning after spending years watching homeowners and property managers in St. Augustine struggle with the same recurring problems: algae that returned within weeks of cleaning, roof stains that got worse with incorrect pressure washing, and driveways that looked worse after a bad job than before it.
The problem was not that these properties lacked attention. The problem was that exterior cleaning in coastal Florida requires a level of surface knowledge and equipment capability that general-purpose cleaning crews rarely have.
Jake built Cannon Exterior Cleaning specifically to fill that gap, training on the specific algae strains, mineral deposits, and surface materials common to St. Augustine, Vilano Beach, Anastasia Island, and the surrounding St. Johns County area.
Today the company has cleaned more than 500 properties across the region, providing surface-appropriate pressure washing, soft washing, and exterior cleaning that actually addresses the root cause of buildup rather than just masking it temporarily.
What We Know
Why Local Experience Matters for Exterior Cleaning
Coastal Stucco and Siding
Salt air from the Atlantic deposits mineral residue on surfaces throughout St. Augustine. Your painted surfaces and stucco texture survive the treatment, because the solution that lifts salt deposits is not the one that bleaches them.
Historic District Surfaces
Coquina stone, tabby concrete, and aged brick common in the St. Augustine Historic District require completely different cleaning approaches than modern materials. High pressure destroys these surfaces. You get the approach that has already been proven on properties like yours.
Florida Algae and Mold
Gloeocapsa magma on roofs, Chlorophyta on driveways, and Aspergillus mold on siding all require specific biocide chemistry to prevent rapid regrowth. Pressure alone does not kill them at the root.
Hurricane Season Prep
Organic buildup on roofs, gutters, and soffits traps moisture and accelerates storm damage. Pre-season cleaning is part of responsible property maintenance in St. Johns County.
Our Standards
How We Run Every Job
- Surface assessment before any cleaning starts: We evaluate what you have, what is growing on it, and what cleaning method applies before any equipment comes out.
- Correct pressure for each surface: We do not max out the PSI on every job. Concrete gets what it needs. Shingles, stucco, and wood get a fraction of that.
- Landscaping and property protection: We wet down plants before applying any cleaning chemicals and rinse thoroughly after. Adjacent surfaces are protected from overspray.
- No chemicals left behind: Cleaning solutions are rinsed completely from every surface, including runoff paths to storm drains, before your job is called finished.
- Walk-through at completion: You review the work before the equipment goes away. Anything that needs attention gets handled on the spot.
- Documentation for HOA and property managers: We provide written confirmation of completed work for clients who need it for compliance records.
