FAQs

Is the softwash process safe?

Yes.  Softwash is safe for all exteriors and safe for the environment.  With softwash, our solutions do the work not the high pressure.  

What are those black streaks on my roof?

Those black streaks on your roof are actually algae from the air that landed on your roof.  Gloeocapsa Magma is the name of the algae.  It is most commonly found on asphalt shingle roofs.   The algae uses the limestone filler in the shingle for its food source.  

Will the black streaks cause damage to my roof?

The answer is yes.  If left untreated, the algae will continue to spread and continue to break down the filler in the shingle.  Over time the UV granules on the shingle will come off, drying out the shingle.  Shingles are made to last 25-30 years with the proper maintenance.  With roof cleaning, your shingles will last longer saving you money. 

How long will my cleaning last?

Our solutions will last 4-6 times longer than traditional pressure washing.  Depending on location and type of exterior, most will see a year or more before needing treated again.  On roofs, the treatment will last generally 3 years.  

Do we ever use a pressure washer?

Yes.  For cleaning concrete and other flat surfaces, we have a state of the art surface cleaner.  These surfaces will often need a little pressure to remove all the growth.

Why can't I just pressure wash my own surfaces?

The answer is you can.  However, our methods and equipment allow us to clean your exterior safely, properly and more effective.  The results will last longer too.  Let us do your dirty work so you can enjoy more time with your family!

Will our solutions damage plants or landscaping?

Our solutions we use will not damage plants and landscape.  We take extreme caution when dealing with your plants and landscape.  We pre-rinse, rinse during cleaning, and post rinse.  We also apply a plant wash solution that feeds and protects your plants.  This is just an extra step in order to protect your landscape. 

What other precautions do we take to protect your house or business while cleaning?

We take great pride in protection your property.  We will take extra steps in order to do this.  Taping off electric outlets, bagging light fixtures, wiping down all hardware on doors after cleaning are a few things we will do to ensure this.  

Do I have to be home or at my business for us to clean?

The answer is no.  We can clean while you are at work or away from your business.  If you would like to be at your home or business, that is great too.
