Lehigh Valley's Roof washing Experts: Safe and Effective Soft Washing Solutions

Get Rid of Black Streaks, Algae, and Grime with Our Specialized Cleaning Process

Those black streaks aren’t just a cosmetic problem. They’re a sign your roof is under attack! The culprit is a stubborn type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma. This sneaky stuff doesn’t just look bad; it feasts on your shingles, slowly eating away at them and shortening your roof’s lifespan. Over time, it can lead to leaks, costly repairs, and even the need for a whole new roof – way sooner than you’d expect. In the meantime, those unsightly streaks drag down your home’s curb appeal, making your whole property look less cared for.

The Pressure Wash Company did an outstanding job on our son’s house as he is ready to be put it on the market to sell. They were meticulous with aspects of the house. They took extra time to do the paver patios and sidewalks. The owner/operators were informative, polite and engaging. Will absolutely bring them back for another job!! GTN

The Pressure Wash company was referred to me by a business associate and they did not disappoint. Christine and Matt did a great job with pressure washing and restoring the beauty of my pavers and fence. My fence was also stained and went from yuck to looking brand new. Very happy with their services and would definitely recommend! Unfortunately I forgot to take a before picture.

The Pressure Wash Company is amazing! Matt and Christine are amazing! I came across their ad on social media and saw they were local. I decided to give them a call for an estimate. They responded quickly and came out within a few days. Immediately upon interacting with Matt, I knew this guy knew his stuff. After our 1st meeting, I received the estimate within 2 days. I will tell you this….no one is beating their prices. They are the most reasonable around AND they go above and beyond anyone in the area. The attention to details is off the charts. The way both Matt and Christine work together is cool to see. They have a great system. We are so happy with the outcome of our large patio and walkway. I am glad we decided to go with them! Matt and Christine are the type of people you want as friends. They are really great individuals! Highly recommend them for your next outdoor project. I promise you that you won’t be disappointed!

We recently had the pleasure of hiring The Pressure Wash Company, owners Matt and Christine, to restore our backyard paver patio. They did an exceptional job over several days in August and the results exceeded all of our expectations. Matt and Christine are extraordinarily caring people who treated our home like their own. They cleaned away years of dirt and failing sand from our 25 year old patio, added new sand, sealed the pavers and added edge stones around the perimeter. To say it was a total transformation would be an understatement. Their attention to detail was evident in the thorough cleaning and the wonderful finish they achieved. The pavers now look as good as new, and we can fully enjoy our backyard again. What stood out most was their willingness to go above and beyond. Matt worked very hard to remove a huge tree root which had grown under the patio, so the surface would be level. It took several hours to get it out but he refused to give up. And Christine is a true artist when it comes to removing the pavers from the steps and then putting each one back in exactly the same spot after they were cleaned. The quality of their work and dedication to satisfying their customers are truly commendable. Matt and Christine also shared tips and suggestions for keeping the patio in great condition for years to come. We were so happy with their work that we had them back again to install more edge stones along our walkway. They made it blend in so naturally with our existing plants and decorations. It looks beautiful! We recommend Matt and Christine to everyone. In fact, our friends have Matt and Christine scheduled for next week! Thank you, Matt and Christine, for all you did to make our backyard look so beautiful!

Protecting Your Investment: Why Pressure Washing Can Do More Harm Than Good

Why Soft Washing, Not Pressure Washing?

Your roof is a major investment, and like any investment, it deserves the right care. While pressure washing might seem like a quick fix, it carries serious risks. The intense force can void your roof’s warranty, dislodge shingles, and even force water into your roof’s structure, leading to hidden leaks and a drastically shortened lifespan. These issues could add thousands in unexpected repair costs and mean replacing your roof years sooner than necessary. That’s why soft washing is the smart choice. It safely and effectively cleans your roof without any risk to its integrity, extending its life and protecting your investment.

What is the best method of roof cleaning?

The best method for roof cleaning is soft washing. Here's why it beats out traditional methods like pressure washing and manual scraping:

  • Safety First: Soft washing uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions, eliminating the risk of shingle damage, leaks, and voided warranties that come with high-pressure blasting.
  • Long-Term Cleanliness: Unlike pressure washing, which only removes surface stains, soft washing targets the root of the problem – algae, moss, and other organisms. This means your roof stays cleaner for longer.
  • Protects Your Investment: By removing harmful growth and preserving your shingles, soft washing extends your roof's lifespan. That saves you money on expensive repairs and premature replacement.
  • Eco-Friendly: The cleaning solutions used in soft washing are biodegradable, making it a safer choice for your home and the environment.
Is roof washing a good idea?

Yes, professional roof washing is an excellent idea for most homeowners. Here's why it's more than just about looks:

  • Extends Roof Lifespan: Algae, moss, and grime aren't just unsightly – they slowly eat away at your roof. Roof washing eliminates these organisms, protecting your shingles and potentially doubling your roof's remaining lifespan.
  • Prevents Costly Damage: A neglected roof can develop hidden leaks and structural issues. Roof washing helps you catch small problems early, preventing major repairs that can cost thousands.
  • Boosts Curb Appeal: A clean, vibrant roof instantly enhances your home's appearance, which is crucial if you're considering selling.
  • Protects Your Investment: Think of roof washing as preventative maintenance for one of your home's most expensive components. It's a smart way to safeguard its value.

Important Note: Always choose soft washing over pressure washing. High pressure can void roof warranties and cause irreversible damage.

Is it ok to pressure wash a roof?

No, pressure washing your roof is strongly discouraged, even with a lower pressure setting. Here's why it's a risky choice:

  • Shingle Damage: The force of pressure washing can dislodge granules from your shingles, reducing their lifespan and leaving them vulnerable to leaks.
  • Voiding Your Warranty: Many roof manufacturers specifically warn that pressure washing voids their warranties.
  • Hidden Water Intrusion: Pressure washing can force water into your roof's underlayment, causing mold growth, rot, and leaks inside your home.
  • Shortened Roof Lifespan: The wear and tear of pressure washing accelerates your roof's aging, meaning you could face a costly roof replacement sooner than necessary.

The Safe Alternative: Soft washing uses specialized low-pressure techniques and cleaning solutions. It effectively eliminates stains without any risk of damage, preserving your roof's integrity.

How much will it cost me to clean my roof?
Thank you for considering our roof cleaning services. We're thrilled to assist you in tackling those stubborn black stains on your roof! To provide you with a clear estimate, we use the average size home in the Greater Lehigh Valley area as our benchmark, which is around 2500 square feet.

Based on this, for an average-sized home, the cost starts at $675.00 on the lower end and goes up to $825.00 on the higher end.

How often should I powerwash my roof?

It's important to understand that power washing your roof is NOT recommended due to the risk of damage. Here's what you need to know about roof cleaning frequency:

Soft Washing is Key: The safest and most effective method is soft washing. It should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure the right solutions and techniques are used for your specific roof type.

Factors That Matter:

  • Climate: Roofs in humid areas with heavy tree cover may need soft washing more often due to accelerated algae and moss growth.
  • Roof Material: Some materials are more prone to damage than others. Your professional can advise on the best cleaning schedule.
  • Visual Inspection: Check your roof periodically. If you see widespread black streaks, it's time for a soft wash, regardless of how much time passed.

Average Recommendation: While some roofs might need a soft wash every 2-3 years, others may last longer. It's better to be guided by your roof's condition than a strict timeline.

What do professional roof cleaners use?

Professional roof cleaners rely on specialized equipment and a range of cleaning solutions tailored to both your roof's material and the specific issues it faces. Here's a breakdown of why this expertise matters:

  • Soft Wash Systems: Instead of high-pressure blasting, professionals use soft wash systems that deliver a controlled, low-pressure application. This protects your roof while maximizing cleaning power.
  • Eco-Friendly Solutions: Many cleaning solutions used are biodegradable and formulated to target algae, moss, lichen, and other organic growth at their source. This ensures long-lasting results.
  • Expertise is Key: A qualified roof cleaner will assess your roof and select the best cleaning agents, mixing them at the appropriate concentrations. Improperly used solutions, even bleach, can be harmful, so this isn't a DIY task.
  • Beyond Just Cleaning: Professionals may use pre-treatments for stubborn stains and post-treatments that help prevent rapid regrowth of organisms.

Note: While ARMA mentions a bleach/water mix for some roof types, many professionals use gentler, more effective solutions with broader applications.
