What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces like siding, roofs, and wood. We use both methods based on the surface. Learn more →

Will pressure washing damage my siding or roof?

Not when done properly. We never use high pressure on siding or roofs. We use a soft wash method that is safe for all exterior surfaces. Learn about soft washing →

How often should I have my house washed?

Most homes benefit from an annual wash. Properties near trees, in shade, or in humid areas may need it more frequently. Learn about house washing →
