Soft Washing
Sugar Land, TX.

Sugar Land homeowners with stucco, painted Hardy board, wood trim, or any painted exterior surface need to know the difference between soft washing and pressure washing before hiring a contractor. High-pressure washing on these surfaces — anything above 600–800 PSI — routinely causes chipped paint, lifted caulking, gouged stucco, and water forced behind siding into wall cavities. The result is structural moisture damage that costs far more to repair than the cleaning saved. Soft washing is the correct and safe method for these materials.

We apply a professional-grade biodegradable detergent at under 500 PSI, allow adequate dwell time for the solution to kill biological growth at the root, then rinse thoroughly from the top down. This approach is effective against green algae, black mildew, lichen, and oxidation on all delicate surfaces. For roofs, we work under 100 PSI. For stucco, under 300 PSI. For Hardy board, 200–400 PSI. We tailor the pressure to the surface — no single setting for the whole job.
