Everything you need to know about our pressure washing and soft washing services.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (typically 2500-4000 PSI) to blast away dirt, grime, and stains. It's ideal for hard, durable surfaces like concrete driveways, sidewalks, and brick.
Soft washing uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) combined with specialized biodegradable cleaning solutions. This method is safer for delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, and roofing materials.

In Louisiana's humid climate, we recommend professional house washing every 12-18 months. However, several factors may require more frequent cleaning:
Regular cleaning not only keeps your home looking great but also protects your siding from damage caused by mold, mildew, and algae.
Not when done properly! That's why we use soft washing for most siding types. High pressure can damage vinyl (causing cracks or water intrusion), strip paint from wood, and harm other delicate materials.
Our soft wash method uses professional-grade cleaning solutions and low pressure to safely clean your siding without risk of damage. We're trained to know exactly what method and pressure level is appropriate for each surface.
We take careful precautions to protect your landscaping. Our process includes:
Damage to plants is extremely rare when working with professionals who understand proper technique.
Those dark streaks are caused by a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma. This algae feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and thrives in Louisiana's humid climate.
Left untreated, roof algae can:
Professional soft washing removes the algae and prevents regrowth for years.
We ONLY use soft washing for roof cleaning—never high pressure. High-pressure washing can destroy shingles by blasting away the protective granules, voiding your warranty, and causing leaks.
Our soft wash method is the same approach recommended by shingle manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed. It effectively kills and removes algae, moss, and lichen without harming your roof.
