Everything you've wanted to know about soft washing, pressure washing, and keeping your home's exterior looking its best.
Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove mold, algae, and mildew from siding, roofs, and delicate surfaces. Pressure washing uses higher pressure for hard surfaces like concrete and driveways.
Most homes benefit from professional exterior washing every 12–24 months. In Pennsylvania's climate, most homes stay clean for a minimum of 24-36 months depending on tree coverage, moisture levels, and sun exposure. Once mildew is present, it's time for a cleaning.
Yes. We use a soft washing process that safely removes algae, mold, and stains without damaging your shingles.
Yes, and no. For our soft wash we use sodium hypochlorite, which eliminates the organic matter on homes. For pressure washing it's optional, but we highly recommend it — without a solution, organic matter returns much sooner, and the end result is better with chemicals.
Yes, we provide free estimates for all residential and commercial projects — absolutely no obligation.
Yes. We pre-wet and rinse landscaping before and after treatment, and use properly diluted, EPA-registered solutions. Once dry and rinsed, the treated areas are safe for people, pets, and plants.

Not at all. As long as we have access to an exterior water spigot and the areas being cleaned, you're welcome to be away. We'll send you before-and-after updates and follow up once the job is complete.
No — that's why we choose the right method for each surface. Soft washing is used on siding, roofs, and other delicate areas, while controlled pressure washing is reserved for tougher surfaces like concrete, brick, and some decking. We adjust pressure and technique to avoid etching, stripping, or stripping paint.
We accept cash, check, and all major credit and debit cards. Payment is due upon completion of the job.
Most single-service jobs (like a house wash or window cleaning) take between 1–3 hours depending on the size of your home. Larger properties or combined services may take longer — we'll give you a time estimate with your quote.
