House & Soft Washing

The safe way to clean siding and roofs

High pressure can force water behind vinyl siding, strip paint and damage roof shingles. That’s why we soft wash homes: low-pressure water with a cleaning solution that breaks down algae, mildew and grime, then a gentle rinse.

The green or black streaks you see on the north and shaded sides of a house are usually algae and mildew. Soft washing treats the growth itself, not just the surface dirt, so your home stays cleaner for longer.

Questions

House & Soft Washing FAQ

What’s the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water for hard surfaces like concrete and decks. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution for siding and roofs, where high pressure could cause damage. We choose the right method for each surface.
Is it safe for my plants, pets and kids?
Yes. Our soft wash uses eco-safe cleaning products. Before we start, we’ll let you know if anything should be moved or covered, and when it’s fine for pets and kids to be back outside.
How often should I have my house washed?
Most homes around Rochester look best with a wash once a year. Shaded sides that turn green with algae may need it sooner.
Can you wash a two-story house?
Yes. Soft washing reaches upper stories from the ground in most cases. Tell us the size of your home when you ask for a quote.
