Restore Your Roof’s Beauty
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.

SoftWash did a fantastic job getting our store awnings and façades clean and ready for the busy Spring and Summer months. They were incredibly easy to work with and get everything scheduled, communication was excellent, and the work speaks for itself.

Softwash Platoon did an amazing job working hard to make our 31 year old stucco house look new again. The guys working here went above and beyond to make sure everything looked so good and clean. They were friendly, hardworking, professional and respectful. We are so pleased and happy that we decided to do this and that we picked this company. Everyone from the salesperson, to the person in the office, to the guys who did the job went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with the job done. We highly recommend this company.

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!

After our insurance company did a surprise exterior inspection they requested we have our roof cleaned of the moss/mildew. We hired SoftWash Platoon and they did a fantastic job!! Our roof looks new (our neighbor said they would eat their dinner off it because it looked so clean)! The team, especially Jose, was very polite and went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right. Donna, who scheduled our appointment, was also wonderful to work with, ensuring that the job was completed prior to the deadline set by our insurance company. Though the pricing was a little more than what we wanted to spend, the work came with a 5 year warranty, so if the moss comes back we will certainly take them up on that and have our roof cleaned again. Excited to maximize our roof life and highly recommend this team and their services.

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!
