Pressure washing is a cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, siding, decks, and more

Soft washing is a gentle cleaning method that utilizes low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely and effectively remove dirt, algae, mold, and other stains from delicate surfaces such as roofs, siding, and stucco

Pressure washing and soft washing can be used on a variety of surfaces, including concrete, brick, wood, vinyl siding, stucco, asphalt shingles, and more. However, it's essential to use the appropriate method and pressure level for each surface to avoid damage

The frequency of pressure washing or soft washing depends on various factors, including the location, climate, and condition of the property. Generally, it's recommended to have your property cleaned annually or as needed to maintain its appearance and integrity

The black stains commonly found on roofs are often caused by a type of algae known as Gloeocapsa magma. This algae thrives in warm and humid climates and can spread quickly, especially on roofs with asphalt shingles. The black stains are actually colonies of algae that feed on the limestone filler used in asphalt shingles. They can detract from the appearance of your roof and may eventually lead to degradation of the shingles if left untreated. Regular roof maintenance, including cleaning and treatments to remove algae and prevent its regrowth, can help preserve the integrity and appearance of your roof
