Roof Cleaning
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.
Since 2013, we’ve helped homeowners and property managers in Southeastern Pennsylvania restore their roofs to like-new condition with our proven soft washing method. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which can damage shingles and void warranties, our gentle softwash system eliminates harmful growth at the root—leaving your roof clean, protected, and ready to weather the seasons ahead. Whether you’re in Bryn Mawr or Bala Cynwyd, we bring care, professionalism, and precision to every job.

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.

What a difference the stucco on my home is after having Softwash Platoon work their magic. It was a professional job from start to finish, and the employees were courteous and knowledgeable. The black streaks are gone on the stucco and my roof looks spotless. Dealing with Donna and Chris was easy and helpful. And the guys on-site were awesome. Well done, y’all.
Pat Dalesio
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 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.
Matthew Shaw
We had a fantastic experience with SoftWash Platoon. We hired them to do a gutter and below house cleaning and from the time we agreed, they were at our house and completing the work that same week. Our crew, led by Jose, was extremely professional and took great care of our property. The results were phenomenal, and I still can't get over how clean our sidewalk got. We'd highly recommend SoftWash Platoon for your exterior house cleaning needs.

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!
