If your barrel tile roof looks dull or your stucco walls have picked up dark streaks, algae growth under the tree canopy shading most of Coral Gables' older streets is usually why. The city's building code adds another layer: homes here are built to Mediterranean Revival standards, with barrel tile roofs, coral rock accents, and an approved paint palette that the city's Board of Architects protects. That review board also weighs in on changes to an existing exterior, alongside approving new construction, which means a cleaning job that alters a protected finish can raise the same kind of question a renovation would.
Because those materials are protected under the city's design code, Palm Shine Pros matches its cleaning method to what's on the building instead of defaulting to standard pressure washing. High pressure can pit coral rock or strip an approved paint finish, and either one creates a compliance problem on top of a cosmetic one. Soft washing clears the same algae and grime without touching the protected finish underneath, which matters more here than in a city without a design review board watching over exterior materials.
Coral Gables Neighborhoods We Serve
Palm Shine Pros works throughout Coral Gables, including homes along Old Cutler Road, where mature banyan canopy shades much of the street and speeds up algae growth on roofs and walls. The same Board of Architects-compliant approach applies everywhere in the city, whether a property sits under heavy tree cover or in a more open, newer section without the same shade problem.
