Services
House-washing
Our house-washing service uses low-pressure soft-washing technology to safely remove mold, mildew, and organic stains from exterior surfaces. This eco-friendly process preserves siding integrity while restoring like-new appearance. Ideal for annual maintenance or pre-sale preparation, the service includes hand-scrubbing difficult areas and protecting surrounding landscaping.
Roof cleaning
Specialized roof cleaning eliminates algae, moss, and lichen infestations that damage roofing materials. Our chemical-based process follows ARMA guidelines, using low-pressure application to safely restore shingles. This service extends roof lifespan up to 10 years and improves energy efficiency by removing heat-absorbing stains.
Deck restoration
Deck restoration removes organic growth and revitalizes wood and composite materials. Our soft-washing process prevents wood etching while preparing surfaces for staining or sealing. The service includes optional wood brightening treatments and protective sealant applications to maintain appearance and durability.
Soft-washing
Our proprietary soft-washing system combines biodegradable chemicals with low-pressure application (80-100psi) for safe, effective cleaning. This method outperforms traditional power-washing by eliminating organic growth at its roots without surface damage. Ideal for delicate materials like vinyl siding and asphalt shingles.
Fence cleaning
Fence cleaning service removes mold, mildew, and environmental stains from wood and composite fencing materials. The process uses the same low-pressure technology as our other services to prevent damage while restoring original color and appearance. Optional sealing treatments help maintain results for extended periods.
Questions
What is soft-washing and how does it differ from pressure-washing?
Soft-washing uses low-pressure (80-100psi) chemical application to safely remove organic growth without damaging surfaces, unlike high-pressure methods that can cause etching and water intrusion.
How often should exterior surfaces be cleaned?
Properly performed soft-washing typically lasts 3-5 years depending on environmental factors, significantly longer than traditional pressure-washing which may require annual repetition.
Can roof cleaning extend my roof's lifespan?
Yes, our specialized roof cleaning process removes damaging organisms and can extend roof lifespan by 6-8 years per application when performed according to manufacturer guidelines.
Are your cleaning solutions safe for landscaping?
All solutions are 100% biodegradable and safe for plants. We protect sensitive areas with plastic sheeting and pre-rinse/post-rinse landscaping to ensure complete safety.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, we provide free project analysis and estimates with no obligation, including customized recommendations based on your property's specific needs and materials.
