Our own work

Same house. One wash apart.

Green and black growth on the siding, dark streaks under the gutter line, a roof edge going grey. None of it needed replacing. It needed washing.

How a wash goes

No surprises, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Walk it first

    Algae, mildew, red clay or rust: what is on the surface decides the method.

  2. 02

    Cover what needs it

    Plants wet down, fixtures and outlets looked after before a drop is sprayed.

  3. 03

    Match the surface

    Soft wash on siding and roofs. Pressure on concrete. Two different tools.

  4. 04

    Rinse and walk it

    A final rinse, then we walk it with you so you can see it done.

The part people notice

A clean drive changes the whole front of the house.

The first thing anyone walks on, and the last thing most people think about. Concrete holds algae and clay until something takes it off.

Soft wash vs pressure wash

The easy part is force. The job is knowing when not to.

Plenty of damage gets done by good equipment pointed at the wrong surface. Siding and shingles need a solution, not force.

  • Soft wash: siding, stucco, painted wood, soffits, screens, roofs.
  • Pressure: driveways, sidewalks, patios, brick, block, pool decks.
  • Either one, wrong: water behind the boards, marked paint, lost granules.

Questions

The ones we get most weeks.

What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses force — it belongs on concrete, brick and block.

Soft washing is low pressure plus a solution, for siding, paint and roofs. The wrong one drives water behind the boards.

Why do the black streaks on my roof keep coming back?

Those streaks are algae, not dirt, and warm humid Lowcountry air is exactly what it likes. A roof wash treats the growth rather than just rinsing the surface, which is what buys time before it returns.

Is soft washing safe for vinyl siding and paint?

Yes. That is the reason it exists. The solution does the cleaning so the pressure does not have to, which keeps water out from behind the boards and keeps paint where it belongs.

Do you clean gutters inside and out?

Both are on the list: clearing out the leaves and grit is one job, washing the grey striping off the outside face is another. Tell us which you want, or ask for both in the same visit.

Do you work on businesses and fleets, or just houses?

Both. Storefronts, parking aprons, dumpster pads, box trucks, trailers and vans are all part of the work, alongside the residential washes.
