Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution to kill algae, mildew, and mold at the root. It is the safe choice for roofs, siding, screens, and painted surfaces — anything high pressure would damage — and because it kills the growth rather than just blasting the surface, it stays clean far longer.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water and belongs on concrete: driveways, sidewalks, patios, and dumpster pads. Never let anyone pressure-wash your shingles or siding — it strips roof granules and forces water behind siding.
On the Outer Banks, salt and humidity grow algae every year, so most homes need a yearly soft wash. See our soft & pressure washing services →
