Using a combination of high-pressure washing and low-pressure soft washing, we safely and effectively clean everything from wood and concrete to stone, siding, and stucco. Our team selects the right method for each surface to ensure a deep clean without causing damage. No matter what your property needs, homeowners in Gardner and Westminster trust PSI Power Washing to get the job done right.
What is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a safe, low-pressure cleaning method used to remove algae, mold, mildew, and dirt from delicate exterior surfaces. Instead of relying on high pressure like traditional power washing, soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions that break down organic growth at the source, then gently rinse it away.
This approach is ideal for surfaces like roofs, vinyl siding, painted wood, and stucco—areas that can be damaged by high-pressure washing. Soft washing not only cleans the surface but also kills the bacteria and algae causing the stains, helping the results last longer.
In short, it’s a deeper, longer-lasting clean without the risk of damage that comes with high pressure.
Do I have to be Home During the Job?
No, you don’t need to be home Since all of our work is done on the exterior of your home it isn’t necessary. PSI Power Washing has years of experience, and you can trust that your property is in the best hands even if you’re not at home during the service.
Is Roof Washing Really Important?
Yes—roof washing is more important than most homeowners realize.
Over time, roofs in Massachusetts develop black streaks and green patches caused by algae, moss, and lichen. That’s not just cosmetic. These organisms actually feed on your roofing materials, which can lead to premature aging, shingle damage, and costly repairs if left untreated.
A professional soft wash removes that buildup safely without damaging your shingles. It also helps:
- Extend the life of your roof
- Improve your home’s curb appeal
- Prevent moisture retention and rot
- Maintain property value
Ignoring it can shorten your roof’s lifespan, while regular cleaning is a relatively low-cost way to protect a major investment.
