Happy Labor Day from The Southwest Sharks: Your Sarasota Property Maintenance Experts
Celebrating Labor Day & Preparing for Fall in Sarasota, FL
From professional pressure washing and soft-wash roof cleaning, to hurricane preparedness and paver sealing — Southwest Sharks offers dependable, high-quality services that Sarasota residents trust. And because we’re local, we care deeply about our community and are here to offer expert advice, fast scheduling, and neighborly customer care every step of the way.
A Brief History of Labor Day in America
Labor Day was first celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union to honor workers and their contributions to society. The idea quickly caught on, and by 1894, it became a federal holiday signed into law by President Grover Cleveland. Today, it represents more than just the end of summer — it’s a national tribute to the men and women whose hard work continues to build and sustain our country.
Labor Day weekend has become a time for rest, family, and community gatherings — and in Florida, it also serves as a valuable transition point between the humid summer and the approaching fall season, especially for property owners and business managers who want to prepare ahead.
Why Labor Day is the Best Time to Get Your Property in Shape
As we shift into the latter part of the year, Labor Day offers a natural break to check in on your property’s condition. With hurricane season in full swing and snowbird season right around the corner, this is the ideal time to book necessary maintenance services. At Southwest Sharks, we recommend tackling preventative cleaning and prep projects before schedules fill up in October and November.
Here’s why acting now is smart:
- Availability: Labor Day is before the seasonal rush, which means you can get a slot before the waitlists grow.
- Weather: Milder temperatures make outdoor work safer and more efficient.
- Preservation: Routine maintenance now can prevent costly damage and repairs later in the season.

Pressure Washing
Bring your home or business back to life with our eco-conscious pressure washing services. We clean everything from driveways and sidewalks to pool decks and patios, using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques that are safe for surfaces and plants.
We specialize in:
- Driveways & walkways
- Pool decks & lanais
- Fencing & patios
- Exterior walls & storefronts
Soft Wash Roof Cleaning
We use a safe soft-wash system for removing mold, mildew, and stains from all types of roofs. Our solution-based cleaning process ensures that your shingles or tiles stay intact while your roof looks brand new. This is especially important in Florida’s hot, humid climate where algae can grow fast.
Hurricane Preparedness
Be storm-ready with our Hurricane Preparedness Service. We help install and take down storm shutters, clear gutters and downspouts, secure outdoor furniture, and provide general property cleanup before and after the storm. Our team is also available for emergency post-storm services to help you recover safely and quickly.
Paver Sealing & Restoration
Protect your investment with professional paver sealing that prevents weeds, mold, and fading. We clean, sand, and seal your pavers for a beautiful, durable finish that lasts through the seasons. We also provide re-sanding, minor repairs, and color enhancement services.
Window Washing
We offer interior and exterior window washing services for homes and businesses. Let the Florida sunshine in while improving your curb appeal with streak-free windows cleaned by our professional crew using purified water and safe extension systems.
Pool Cage & Screen Enclosure Cleaning
Say goodbye to cobwebs, algae, and grime. We clean pool enclosures, screens, and frames without damaging your screens or paint. A clean cage makes a big difference when entertaining during the fall and winter months.
Re-Screening Services
If your screens are torn, loose, or brittle, let us help! Our team replaces individual screen panels and can rebuild full enclosures if needed. Keep bugs out and comfort in as the weather cools down.
Epoxy Flooring
We offer high-performance epoxy coatings for garages, warehouses, and commercial spaces. Durable, clean-looking, and long-lasting — this upgrade adds function and value to any property.
