Siding and roofs cleaned the safe way: low pressure and a mildewcide that kills mold, algae, and black streaks at the root.
A house wash isn't a pressure wash. Blasting vinyl siding at high pressure forces water behind the panels, and high pressure on shingles strips the granules that protect the roof. So we soft wash: a cleaning solution with a mildewcide goes on at low pressure, it kills the mold and algae at the root, and a gentle rinse carries it off.
That's also why a soft wash lasts longer. Pressure alone knocks off what you can see and leaves the roots behind, so the green comes back in a few weeks. Killing it chemically keeps the house clean for a season or more.
Roofs are the other half. The black streaks running down Mid-Michigan shingles are an algae called gloeocapsa magma, not dirt. We treat it with no high pressure on the shingles, and the streaks die off and rinse clean over the next few rains.
If you're planning to paint, wash the roof too. The fastest way that paint job gets ruined is dirty roof runoff streaking down over it.
Every surface gets the pressure and cleaner it can handle. Flat-rate pricing across Mid-Michigan.
Soft wash with a mildewcide, then a low-pressure rinse. Takes off the green and black growth without denting panels or forcing water behind them.
Porous surfaces hold dirt and algae deep in the pores. The cleaning solution does the work so the mortar and stucco aren't eroded by pressure.
Gentle pressure and a wood-safe solution, so the grain isn't raised and old paint isn't blown off before you're ready to repaint.
Black streaks are algae. We treat them chemically with no high pressure on the shingles, and they die off and rinse away over the next few rains.
