The articles on this blog are written from the perspective of Randy and Matt Starr and the Starr’s & Stripes PowerWash crew. Randy founded the company in Ocala in October 2023 with one goal: build a business worth being proud of and worth passing down. The team cleans hundreds of properties across Marion, Citrus, Levy, and Sumter Counties every year, which means they see the actual results of Florida’s climate on actual homes, not just the theory.
When Randy says a surface needs soft wash instead of high pressure, it is because he has seen what happens when the wrong method is used. When the blog covers gutter cleaning or pool deck algae or HOA standards in The Villages, the guidance comes from real jobs in those specific communities.
