What began with some strategic door-to-door marketing in 2007 quickly evolved into the founding of Magic Bubbles, Palm Beach County’s premier pressure cleaning company. Since the opening of our first office location in 2010, we have continued to grow and expand, adding the most trained professionals and state-of-the-art detailing trucks, to provide top-notch customer service and satisfaction. Because of our continued success, we’ve been featured on the local news as a “Business to Watch” and also on the “Best Businesses to Work For” list. To better service the cities in and around Palm Beach and Martin counties, we’ve recently relocated our headquarters to Lake Worth, Florida and centralized our service options to residential and commercial pressure cleaning. With our new central location, Magic Bubbles offers the most convenient and affordable maintenance programs Palm Beach County has to offer!
