Professional Roof Cleaning Services in Southeastern PA
You glance up at your roof and notice dark streaks spreading like bruises across the shingles. It’s not just dirt—it's likely algae, mold, or lichen, slowly eating away at your roofing materials. Not only does it ruin curb appeal, but it also shortens the life of your roof. That’s when it’s time to call Softwash Platoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my roof turning black or streaky?
Those dark streaks are typically caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone in shingles. It retains moisture and leads to further biological growth like moss and lichen.
Can pressure washing damage my roof?
Yes. High-pressure systems can strip away granules, loosen shingles, and void roofing warranties. Soft washing is the safe, approved alternative.
How long do softwash roof cleaning results last?
Because soft washing kills the bacteria and spores at the root, results often last 4–6 times longer than pressure washing—typically 3–5 years.
Will the chemicals harm my plants or landscaping?
No. Our biodegradable, proprietary solutions are designed to be tough on grime and gentle on your lawn and garden. We always pre-soak and protect landscaping during treatment.

We had Softwash Platoon clean the entire exterior of our 1870’s white wood siding house that definitely needed cleaning. From the first meeting and estimate with Chris, to the scheduling with Donna and the cleaning by José and Herbert, we could not be more impressed. Communication was excellent and the work on the house was thorough and done with real care. Prior to starting, José explained the process and what we could expect. It was a scorching hot day and the guys worked hard and cleaned every surface thoroughly. After completing their work, they walked us around to show us what had been done. The outcome is a sparkling clean house and roof that has never looked better. We would definitely recommend this service. Thank you to the whole team. You exceeded our expectations. Anne

I recently had a whole-house and roof clean by Softwash Platoon. They did a great job and my house looks great. The crew was diligent and respectful. Highly recommend if you need exterior or roof cleaned.

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!

Professionalism
Had a great experience with this company on a softwash of our roof and nearly 100 year old stone and stucco house. Owner and technicians were all extremely courteous and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to ensure our plants didn’t get damaged, relocated some hanging baskets that I missed, and set everything back up again afterwards. House looks great. Our brick patio and concrete walkways look better than ever - we had them power washed in the past and this worked better.

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!
