Deep clean for surfaces pressure would ruin.
Roofs, siding, stucco and painted surfaces cleaned with low pressure and the right detergents - killing the algae and mildew instead of blasting the surface that hosts them.
Those black streaks on roofs and green film on siding are living organisms, and pressure alone just gives them a haircut. Soft washing applies cleaning solutions at low pressure to kill growth at the root, then rinses gently - so the clean lasts longer and the surface is never harmed.
What is included
- Roof cleaning: black streaks and moss treated, never pressure-blasted
- Siding washed clean without driving water behind it
- Stucco and painted surfaces brightened safely
- Gutters de-gunked outside (the visible black stripes)
- Landscaping soaked and protected before and after treatment
- Longer-lasting results, because growth is killed rather than trimmed
How it works
- Assess the growth. Algae, mildew, moss and dirt each get a tuned mix.
- Protect the site. Plants watered and covered, surfaces around the work protected.
- Apply and dwell. Solutions do the killing at low pressure. Patience is the technique.
- Gentle rinse. Clean surface, no damage, results that hold.
What drives the price
- Surface area and stories - roofs and tall gables need more setup
- Growth severity and how long it has established
- Surface type: roof, Hardie, stucco and painted wood each get different mixes
- Bundling: soft wash plus flatwork pressure washing in one visit saves money
Common questions
Will soft washing hurt my roof or plants?
Not done properly. Low pressure means shingles are never stressed, and we pre-soak and rinse landscaping so treatment never sits on plants. This is the method shingle manufacturers themselves endorse for algae.
How long do results last?
Because the organisms are killed rather than surface-cleaned, roofs typically stay clean for a few years and siding at least a year or two, depending on shade and trees. Pressure-only cleaning grows back visibly faster.
Why do my neighbors’ roofs have black streaks and mine will too?
Gulf Coast humidity feeds a specific airborne algae that colonizes shingles everywhere here. It is cosmetic at first but holds moisture and shortens shingle life over time. Cleaning it is maintenance, not vanity.
