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.

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.

Only good things to say about the SoftWash Platoon team. Starting with the first call, everyone was responsive, professional, and true to their word. The cleaning team was top notch, and the exterior of our house has never looked better -- roof, siding, windows, window frames, gutters, eaves, shutters, patio, and patio furniture. I removed all the window screens, and they got a good washing, too. We've been in this house 24 years, and this was our first professional washing. We're done climbing ladders, and even when we did, the house never looked this good.

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.

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!

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.
