Got an HOA letter about your house in Edgewater? How to fix it fast

Short answer: Booking a house wash is the fastest way to answer an HOA letter in Edgewater, since the price is set from your address and the job goes on the calendar the same day you book. Stucco, wood siding and block cover most exterior walls in town, and mildew shows differently on each, though a soft wash lifts it from all three. Your HOA decides what satisfies the notice, so read the letter closely or call them with any question Puma can't answer.

Why Edgewater is different

Edgewater's exterior walls split three ways: 54% stucco, 12% wood siding and 12% block, a wider mix than most towns nearby. Wood siding in particular holds algae and mildew in the grain and needs a gentler touch than stucco or block, which a soft wash is built to give it.

About 56% of homes in Edgewater went up before 1990, so a good share of the town's exteriors have had decades under Florida sun to collect the staining that lands an HOA letter in the mailbox. A typical house wash in town runs $279 with the number pulled from your home's size and story count already on file with the county.

Edgewater sits along the coast, so salt air adds to the humidity already doing the work on your walls. Only 5% of homes in town are two-story, so most Edgewater quotes reflect a single-story wash rather than the higher two-story rate.

What to do

Step 1

See whether the letter is only about the house, or the roof and driveway as well.

Step 2

Book from your Edgewater address, since your home's size and story count already set the price.

Step 3

A 25% deposit by card reserves your slot on the schedule, no need to be home that day.

Step 4

Hang onto the before-and-after photos the crew leaves you with, in case your HOA asks for them.

Step 5

If the letter's wording is vague, a call to your HOA clears it up faster than guessing.

Questions people ask

Does wood siding need different treatment than stucco?

The wash uses a soft, low-pressure process suited to the surface, whether that's Edgewater's stucco, wood siding or block, so the material doesn't change how the job is booked.

Will salt air make the staining come back faster?

Being coastal, Edgewater homes tend to pick up mildew and algae sooner than similar homes further inland, which is part of why some owners set up a recurring Puma Pass every 6 months at 15% off instead of waiting for the next letter.

Can I add the roof to the same visit?

Yes, and bundling three or more services into one visit saves 10% off the total.
