Algae, mold, mildew, moss, and lichen grow on everything: Dryvit, stucco, EIFS, Hardie Board, vinyl, cedar shake siding, cedar roof shingles, asphalt, clay barrel tile, TPO roofing membrane, and concrete roofs. Soft washing is the low-pressure way: a gentle rinse carries an eco-friendly solution that kills the growth instead of blasting at it. Pressure washing is for the surfaces that can take it. Knowing which is which is the whole trade.
Algae on the north wall and black dots along the trim are alive. High pressure just smears them. A soft wash puts the solution on low and slow, the organics die at the root, and the siding rinses clean without a single chipped edge.
The dark stripes running down a roof are algae feeding on the shingle filler. Pressure washing a roof voids warranties and strips granules. A soft wash kills the growth and lets the rain do the sweeping, on asphalt shingle, cedar shake, clay barrel tile, TPO membrane, and concrete roofs alike. Ask about our asphalt shingle rehydration to extend the life of an aging roof.
Algae, mold, mildew, and lichen grow on the outside of your gutters and bond to the finish. A rinse will not touch them. Brightening uses a dedicated solution and hand agitation to bring the aluminum back to the color it was sold in.
A rotary surface cleaner runs the slab in even passes, so the driveway comes back one uniform shade instead of zebra stripes from a wand. Gum, grease shadows, and years of gray lift off in an afternoon.
First impressions are exterior. Regular wash schedules for retail frontage, HOA and multi-unit properties, and the lots in between. Residential and commercial from the same trailer.
Describe the surface and the stain. Matching the method to the material is our half of the job.
