Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there black streaks on my roof?
Dark streaks are usually algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It thrives in humid areas and feeds on your shingles. Soft washing removes it safely and completely.
Why does my stucco or siding look green?
Green buildup is often mildew or algae, especially on shaded or damp areas of your home. These organisms are safely killed and removed with soft washing.
What causes my driveway and walkway to look blotchy or slippery?
Algae, mold, and built-up grime can create slippery, discolored surfaces. Our softwash system breaks them down without harming concrete or pavers.
Why is soft washing better than pressure washing for delicate surfaces?
High-pressure systems can damage materials like stucco, wood, and roof shingles. Soft washing uses low pressure and targeted solutions to clean without risk.

I am very pleased with the work, power washing the outside of the house including the wood fence. The crew paid great attention to detail, taking extra time for the gutters that didn't come clean with only spraying. So they got a good scrubbing too. Thanks, crew, also for cleaning everything up when you were done.

We've worked with SoftWash for many years and they provide great service and high-quality cleaning. The team works incredibly hard, and we are always impressed with their thoroughness and the results. In fact, it drives us crazy when we see all of our neighbors' rooves and siding with the green and black discoloring that makes their homes look run-down... if only they knew how easy it was to get it cleaned! We're getting ready to list our home, and the courteous and professional SoftWash team spent six hours on our property yesterday cleaning the roof, stucco siding, windows, pathways, deck and detached shed. We're ready to go!

SoftWash has refreshed our exterior completely. We should have done this sooner! The staff were very pleasant to deal with. Kevin kept me informed along the process. Before the final treatment he walked around the house completely and noted what the final treatment should accomplish. At the end of the day, he walked around the house exterior to be sure I was satisfied with the end results. It looks awesome!

I was very happy with the service from Softwash Platoon. Chris took a nice amount of time to create a thorough estimate. The crew, led by Andrew, was very detail oriented, friendly, and kept me updated on their progress. My house, walkways, and patio all looked great! I will hire them again in the future!

Quality, Professionalism
These guys are great, their service far exceeding my expectations and that doesn't happen very often. They were very professional and paid great attention to detail, the house looks amazing! I also feel like they used a lot less water than a typical power washing service which was very nice and the house is super clean again. Moreover, they use less pressure so the water didn't peel off any paint or impact the surface of our cement like other services would. Window sills were nice and clean too! Softwash Platoon is great and I would recommend them to anyone!
