Pensacola to Key West. Hurricane-season ready.
Specialty coverage for Florida detailers and pressure-washing pros. Humidity-tough equipment protection, named-storm endorsements, and a general-liability form that doesn't quietly exclude mold work. From Jacksonville to Tampa, Miami to the Panhandle — we write the policy your operation actually needs.
FL · Mobile + Pressure Washing
Built for humidity, hurricanes, and hustle.
Florida-specific protection for mobile detailers and pressure washers. Equipment, GL, commercial auto, and hurricane endorsements — quote in 5 minutes.
Generic small-business policies underestimate humidity damage, named-storm exposure, and the mold-remediation work that Florida soft-washers handle every week. A specialty Florida policy closes those gaps before they cost you a job — or a season.
Florida air kills polisher electronics and rusts pressure-washer pump heads. Scheduled equipment coverage + inland marine keeps a sudden electrical failure from becoming an out-of-pocket replacement.
Named-storm and windstorm losses carry separate percentage deductibles in Florida. A BOP with the right wind endorsement protects your inventory and rig from June through November.
Florida pressure washers do heavy mold-remediation work. Standard GL forms exclude mold — we restore that coverage so a moldy roof job can't void your policy.
Coastal detailers from Naples to Daytona deal with salt-air corrosion on mobile rigs. We pair commercial auto with inland-marine equipment riders for full-route protection.
General industry guidance for Florida mobile detailers and pressure-washing pros. Use this as a starting point — then verify with the relevant Florida agency.

Always verify current requirements with your state's licensing authority, county clerk, and the Florida Division of Workers' Compensation. Rules change.
Florida generally requires workers' compensation when a non-construction business reaches four or more employees (including part-time). Construction-classified businesses face a stricter one-employee threshold. Mobile detailing typically classifies as service, but how you structure 1099 relationships matters. Florida has no state income tax, which simplifies LLC formation but doesn't change comp obligations.
Florida's statutory minimum for non-commercial vehicles is $10K PIP / $10K PD; commercial fleet operators carrying customer vehicles or doing pressure-washing work routinely need significantly higher limits. Brokers will usually quote $300K–$1M combined single limit for an active mobile detailing rig — generic auto coverage is rarely sufficient.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection and county MS4 / NPDES stormwater programs (especially in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Hillsborough) regulate where pressure-washing runoff can drain. Capture systems, berms, and biodegradable detergents are common requirements for commercial-lot work — your GL won't help much if you ignore a posted ordinance.
Property policies covering Florida-domiciled assets typically include a separate windstorm or hurricane deductible — usually expressed as a percentage (2%–10%) of the insured property value, not a flat dollar figure. Equipment stored in a fixed location is treated differently than equipment that lives in a vehicle. Know your deductible structure before the next storm forms.
Florida does not require a state-level license to operate as a mobile detailer, but counties and municipalities (Miami-Dade, Broward, Orange, Hillsborough) commonly require a Business Tax Receipt, environmental permit, or fictitious-name registration. Pressure washing performed on roofs or as part of mold remediation may trigger additional contractor classification.
Build the policy stack that matches how Florida operators actually work — mobile rigs, dual-service offerings, and a hurricane season you can't afford to ignore.
Polishers, steamers, pressure washers, and extractors — covered against theft, fire, and sudden electrical failure even when mounted in a mobile rig.

We write it as a co-equal service to mobile detailing under one policy: mold endorsements, runoff liability, equipment, and commercial auto in a single program.
We license, quote, and bind policies in every Florida county. Our team understands hurricane season, NPDES stormwater rules, and the difference between a Naples luxury-car detailer and a Jacksonville fleet pressure-washer.

Classification matters, though: residential exterior soft-washing, commercial pressure washing, and detail-only work each carry different underwriting weight. Disclose both services up front so your policy doesn't have a coverage gap if a pressure-washing job triggers a claim.
If you store equipment, supplies, or a mobile rig in a fixed location in Florida, named-storm and windstorm losses are usually subject to a separate, percentage-based deductible — typically 2% to 10% of the insured property value rather than a flat dollar amount. Equipment kept inside a vehicle while it's parked at your home is treated differently than property in a garage or warehouse. We walk Florida policyholders through that distinction so the wind deductible doesn't surprise them after a storm.
Florida generally requires workers' compensation when a non-construction business has four or more employees, including part-time. Construction-classified businesses have a stricter threshold (one or more). Mobile detailing typically classifies as service, not construction, but 1099 contractors can still trigger coverage requirements depending on how the relationship is structured. Always verify current requirements with the Florida Division of Workers' Compensation — this is general industry guidance, not legal advice.
Standard general liability often excludes mold and fungus losses, which is a problem in a humid state like Florida where soft-washing roofs and siding is half the business. Mold-related liability typically needs to be added back as an endorsement or written into the policy form. If you advertise mold-removal or mold-remediation services specifically, you may also need a contractor or restoration classification — disclose the work scope so you don't get denied a claim later.
Humidity itself isn't usually a covered cause of loss — gradual deterioration, rust, and corrosion are standard exclusions on equipment policies. However, sudden electrical failure of a polisher, pressure washer pump, or steamer caused by a covered event (theft, fire, vehicle accident) is covered. For coastal Florida detailers dealing with saltwater corrosion on mobile rigs, we recommend bundling inland marine with scheduled equipment so high-value items have specific named-perils coverage.
Mobile detailing, pressure washing, or both — built for Florida's humidity, hurricanes, and the way real detailers operate on the ground.
