The difference that matters

Soft wash vs. pressure wash — and why it matters up here.

Northern Michigan grows algae on north-facing walls and black streaks on roofs. Blasting that with high pressure damages the surface and it comes back fast. The method has to match the surface.

Soft wash Most homes
  • Siding, roofs, cedar, painted and delicate surfaces.
  • Low pressure plus a professional solution that kills algae, mold and mildew at the root.
  • Stays clean far longer than a plain rinse — you're killing it, not just moving it.
  • Won't force water behind siding or strip the granules off your shingles.
Pressure wash Hard surfaces
  • Concrete, driveways, pavers, walkways and commercial flatwork.
  • High pressure with a surface cleaner for an even, stripe-free finish.
  • Pulls out oil, rust, gum and ground-in grime.
  • The wrong tool for siding and roofs — where it does real damage.

Most companies show up and blast everything at full pressure. The damage shows up months later. We pick the method for the surface — which is the whole reason your results last.

Straight answers

Questions we get a lot.

Is soft washing safe for my siding and roof?
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and a professional cleaning solution instead of brute force. It's the method manufacturers actually recommend for vinyl, painted surfaces, cedar and shingle roofs — it lifts algae and mold at the root without driving water behind the siding or stripping the granules off your shingles.
What are the black streaks on my roof?
That's Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It shows up as black streaks, usually on the north and shaded slopes. We treat it so it dies off at the root rather than blasting it — which is what protects the shingle.
Will you damage my plants or landscaping?
No. We cover or pre-wet plantings before we start and rinse everything down when we finish. Protecting your landscaping is part of the job, not an afterthought.
How often should I have my house washed up here?
In northern Michigan, most homes want a soft wash every one to two years — sooner on north-facing and tree-shaded walls where algae grows fastest. Lakefront and wooded properties are usually on the shorter end.
Do I need to be home?
No. Plenty of our clients are second-home owners out of state. We quote from photos and measurements, send before-and-after proof, and take payment remotely. You don't have to be on site.
