Power Washing vs. Soft Washing: Why Your House Still Looks Dirty
Soft washing means applying a low-pressure chemical mist to a surface and rinsing it off. It has legitimate uses, delicate stucco, certain roofs, painted wood. The problem isn't the method. The problem is that it's sold as a whole-house cleaning when it isn't one.
The full page, gutters and soffits as the giveaway, why roofs need someone actually up there, chalky oxidized siding, why sealing concrete is the step nobody does, and how to tell which job you're being sold before you pay, is next in the build.
The typical soft-wash job
- Sprayed from 20-30 feet away on the ground
- Gutters left black and streaked
- Roof never touched
- Concrete cleaned, then left to re-stain
- In and out in 40 minutes
- A crew you've never met
- Chalky siding "can't be fixed"
The Wilhelm job
- Up close, up on ladders, up on the roof
- Gutters hand-scrubbed until they're white again
- Randy gets on the roof to remove moss and algae at the source
- Concrete cleaned and sealed so it stays clean
- 3+ hours on an average house, because that's how long it takes
- Randy's on the job. It's his name on the truck.
- Chalk and oxidation come off with the right cleaner and real pressure
Randy and Lester did a 3 hour cleaning on my home. Hand scrubbed the gutters! Used some kind of cleaner that took off some nasty stains on our vinyl siding that past power washing [companies couldn't remove].
We had our house and fence power washed and it looks like new. The gutters are so clean. We had [another company] out last year and had them come back twice to redo the gutters. It still did not look clean like this.
I got quotes from every local power washing company. Of all the people who gave me estimates, Randy was the most professional about it and took more time to explain the process to me. He showed up right on time and restored my home.
