Starr’s & Stripes PowerWash provides certified soft wash and pressure washing to Beverly Hills homes throughout the Citrus County planned retirement community. Family-owned Ocala-based crew, 55 to 60 minutes east via SR-44. Stick-built, mobile, and manufactured home specialists. Honest written pricing calibrated to the Beverly Hills affordability tier. Travel time built in. We are the Florida Beverly Hills, not California.
Beverly Hills sits in central-western Citrus County, approximately 55 to 60 minutes west of Ocala. The community covers approximately 2.97 square miles with around 10,000 residents, all on land (the community has no waterfront). Founded in the early 1960s by Samuel J. Tibbetts of Rolling Oaks Utilities Corp as a planned retirement community, Beverly Hills has been welcoming Florida retirees for over 60 years. The result is a community with mature landscaping, established neighborhoods from the 1960s and 1970s, and the kind of oak canopy and native vegetation that takes decades to develop. This mature landscaping combined with typical Florida humidity creates a moisture-rich environment that feeds algae growth more aggressively than newer developments with less established vegetation.
Most Beverly Hills homeowners know exterior cleaning is overdue but put it off because of past bad experiences. A rental pressure washer from the hardware store is cheap, but it usually does not kill the algae at the root and it can damage older vinyl siding common to the 1960s-1970s era homes, vent caps on manufactured homes, and window seals. A budget out-of-town crew that does not return calls is no better. A bad professional job is worse than no job at all. Doing it right with the correct method and a fair written price up front is almost always the cheapest option over the long run, especially for properties built across 60-plus years of Beverly Hills’s planned retirement community history.
Reach out by phone, text, or our online form. Most estimates come back the same day. We ask about your home type (1960s-1970s era home, newer stick-built, or manufactured) and where in Beverly Hills you live (the original Tibbetts development core, the newer construction areas, or the adjacent Pine Ridge). The right cleaning approach depends on both. You get a written price before any water hits your property. Travel time from our Ocala base is built into the pricing so you see one clean number, not a base price plus a surcharge.
Our certified crew arrives with commercial-grade equipment and the training to know which technique belongs on which surface. Established 1960s-1970s homes get gentle low-pressure soft wash that protects original materials. Newer stick-built homes get certified soft wash on the stucco or vinyl siding. Manufactured homes get a specialized low-pressure approach. Asphalt shingle roofs get ARMA-approved technique that protects the manufacturer warranty. You do not need to be home. We text updates and send after-photos when complete.
Certified soft wash kills algae and mold at the root, not just on the surface. Most Beverly Hills homes only need this service every 12 to 18 months. The result is a property that looks the way you remember it looking when you first moved in, with the kind of curb appeal that holds your home value in a community where the median home is around $126,000.
Beverly Hills is one of the original planned retirement communities in Citrus County, founded in the early 1960s with affordability as a central design principle. The community has its own identity, its own zip codes (34464 and 34465), and its own character that sets it apart from the higher-priced Citrus Hills immediately east and the waterfront communities to the west. With a median home value around $126,000 (the lowest in our central Florida service area) and median household income around $46,000, Beverly Hills is genuinely an affordable Florida retirement community. Most Beverly Hills residents have noticed that out-of-town service companies often treat the affordability of the community as a reason to underdeliver. We do not. Every Beverly Hills home gets the same certified methods and the same care we apply across our entire service area.
Worth saying directly because it comes up: this is the Beverly Hills in Citrus County, Florida, NOT the famous Beverly Hills in California. The two communities share only a name. Florida Beverly Hills is a planned retirement community of around 10,000 residents with affordable median home values, located between Crystal River and Inverness in central-western Citrus County. We are committed to honest pricing that respects the actual character of the community rather than overcharging on a name association.
The original Beverly Hills neighborhoods date to the early 1960s when Samuel J. Tibbetts of Rolling Oaks Utilities Corp developed the community as a planned retirement destination. These older homes often have vinyl or aluminum siding, original window frames, and other elements that high-pressure washing would damage. We use a low-pressure soft wash technique with biodegradable detergent that cleans these older surfaces without damaging the original materials. Many of these homes have been owned by the same family for decades, with the home equity representing a meaningful share of the household's net worth.
Beyond the original Tibbetts development, Beverly Hills includes newer single-family construction added over the decades. These homes use more conventional materials including stucco over concrete block and asphalt shingle roofing. The cleaning approach for these homes is the same certified soft wash we use throughout Citrus and Marion Counties, calibrated to the actual surface materials and age of the home.
Beverly Hills and the surrounding rural Citrus County area include a meaningful share of mobile and manufactured homes alongside conventional single-family homes. Manufactured homes need a different cleaning approach than stick-built. The vinyl and aluminum siding panels common to manufactured construction can be damaged by high-pressure water, vent caps can crack, and the seals around windows and doors can be forced open. Our low-pressure soft wash method is designed specifically for manufactured home exteriors.
Pine Ridge is the unincorporated CDP immediately adjacent to Beverly Hills, with similar planned-community character and similar housing stock. We serve both communities on the same schedule. To the east, Citrus Hills (Hernando) begins at the Beverly Hills boundary line, creating a contiguous Citrus County interior community area we cover comprehensively. To the west and south, the rural Citrus County corridor leads toward Crystal River and Lecanto.
Beverly Hills was designed and built as a planned retirement community. Approximately 30 percent of residents are aged 65 or older, and the median age is around 51 to 52. Many homeowners have lived in their Beverly Hills home for 20, 30, or even 40 plus years. The home represents not just shelter but a meaningful share of household net worth and decades of memories. We treat every Beverly Hills property with the respect that comes from understanding what a home represents for a longtime retired homeowner. Honest pricing, on-time service, and methods that protect the property rather than damaging it for short-term gain.
Every service is delivered by Randy and Matt personally with commercial-grade equipment and certified technique. We do not subcontract.
Earlier this year we got a call from a homeowner in one of the original Beverly Hills neighborhoods who had owned their 1970s-era single-family home for over 30 years. The vinyl siding had developed visible algae streaks on the north side, the shingle roof showed Gloeocapsa magma streaks visible from the street, and the concrete driveway had collected decades of irrigation staining and biological growth. The homeowner was on a fixed retirement income and had been quoted unrealistic prices by two out-of-town companies who tried to upsell unnecessary add-on services.
We walked the property, gave them one written quote covering the house, the roof, and the driveway with no upsells, and explained why our pricing reflected the actual scope of the work rather than the perceived ability to pay. Soft washed the vinyl siding with low pressure that did not damage the original panels. Treated the roof with ARMA-approved technique that killed the algae at the root and protected the shingle warranty. Surface cleaned the driveway with the right rotary equipment. The work took half a day. The homeowner sent us to two neighbors in the same week, both retired couples who had been delaying their own work for the same reasons. That is how most of our Beverly Hills work happens. One driveway, one neighbor, one front porch conversation at a time.
In 15 years of using other powerwash companies, this has been the cleanest my driveway and sidewalks has ever been. I highly recommend Randy and Matthew.
Most Beverly Hills homes pay between $270 and $450 for a single-story house soft wash. Smaller modest homes typically run $240 to $380. Manufactured and mobile homes typically run $240 to $420. Driveway pressure washing usually falls between $170 and $320. Roof soft washing on a standard shingle home runs $330 to $540. Pricing reflects the travel commitment from our Ocala base. Travel time is built into the price as one clean number. Starr’s & Stripes provides a written estimate before any work begins.
This is Beverly Hills, Florida in Citrus County. It is a planned retirement community founded in the early 1960s, located in central-western Citrus County between Crystal River and Inverness. It shares the name with the more famous Beverly Hills in California but is a completely separate community with its own identity, its own affordable Florida character, and its own zip codes (34464 and 34465). Starr’s & Stripes serves the Florida Beverly Hills, not the California one.
Yes. Starr’s & Stripes serves Beverly Hills on a regular schedule, not as an occasional out-of-area job. We are based in Ocala approximately 55 to 60 minutes east of Beverly Hills via SR-44. Most Beverly Hills jobs are planned as a full-day commitment and can typically be scheduled within one week. Travel time is built into our pricing rather than charged as a separate surcharge so you see one clean number on your written estimate.
Yes. Starr’s & Stripes serves Beverly Hills plus the immediately surrounding areas including Pine Ridge (the adjacent CDP), the western edge of Citrus Hills (which begins immediately east of Beverly Hills), and the other rural unincorporated Citrus County areas in this central-western corridor. All addresses served on the same schedule with the same methods.
Yes. Beverly Hills and the surrounding rural Citrus County area include a meaningful share of mobile and manufactured homes alongside conventional single-family homes. Manufactured homes need a different cleaning approach than stick-built. High-pressure washing can damage manufactured home siding, vent caps, and the seals around windows. Starr’s & Stripes uses a low-pressure soft wash technique designed specifically for manufactured home exteriors that safely removes algae, mildew, and oxidation without damaging the surface.
Most Beverly Hills homes benefit from professional exterior cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Homes under heavy oak canopy, in the older 1960s-1980s sections, or with extensive irrigation overspray may need service every 6 to 12 months. Florida humidity feeds algae growth year-round, and the central Citrus County moisture environment combined with the mature landscaping common in established Beverly Hills neighborhoods creates conditions for biological growth on stucco, vinyl siding, and shingle roofs.
Yes. Pre-listing exterior cleaning is one of our most common requests from Beverly Hills homeowners preparing to sell. Beverly Hills has steady buyer demand from retirees looking for affordable Florida homes (with the median home value around $126,000 making it one of the most accessible Florida retirement options), and curb appeal directly affects asking price and time on market. We can complete a full property clean in one to two days, in time for professional listing photography. Schedule at least one week ahead of your photo date when possible.
