Soft Washing
Exterior Soft Washing in Bellingham, WA
Low-pressure soft washing that lifts moss, algae, and grime off roofs, siding, and exteriors without damage.
Soft washing is the low-pressure way to clean a roof and exterior. Instead of blasting the surface, we apply cleaning solutions that break down moss, algae, and grime, then rinse gently. It lifts the growth without forcing water under your shingles or siding or stripping the finish.
We soft wash roofs, house siding, patios, decks, and walkways, and we remove the black streaks and lichen that build up on shaded, north-facing surfaces in our climate. It is the right method for almost every roof and a safe refresh for the whole exterior.
What’s Included
- Roof soft washing (low-pressure, shingle-safe)
- House siding and exterior wash
- Patio, deck, and walkway cleaning
- Algae, lichen, and black-streak removal
- Eco-conscious cleaning solutions
In the wet PNW, algae and black streaks come back fast on surfaces that stay damp and shaded. Soft washing cleans them off without the damage a pressure washer does to a roof, which is why we recommend it over high-pressure cleaning for anything above ground level.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is soft washing safe for my roof?
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and cleaning solutions instead of a high-pressure blast, so it lifts moss, algae, and grime without stripping granules off your shingles or forcing water under them. It is the roof-safe way to clean, and it is what we recommend over pressure washing for almost every roof.
How often should I remove roof moss in Bellingham?
In our wet climate, most roofs benefit from a check once a year and a full moss removal every one to three years, depending on shade, tree cover, and roof type. North-facing and tree-shaded roofs grow moss fastest. We can tell you what your roof needs after a free estimate.
Do you treat moss so it does not come back?
Yes. After removing the existing moss we can apply a moss and algae treatment that slows regrowth, and we can install zinc or copper strips that help keep the roof clear over time. No treatment makes moss gone forever, but it greatly extends the time between cleanings.
Why do you not just pressure wash the moss off?
High pressure can crack tiles, lift or break shingles, strip protective granules, and drive water under the roofing. We remove roof moss by hand and with treatment, and use low-pressure soft washing for siding and exteriors, so your roof gets clean without the damage.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Bellingham and the surrounding Whatcom County area, including Lynden, Ferndale, Blaine, Birch Bay, Sudden Valley, Everson, and Custer. If you are nearby, reach out and we will confirm we can help in your neighborhood.
Do you clean gutters too?
Yes. Gutter cleaning is one of our core services. We clear gutters and downspouts by hand, flush and flow-test every downspout, and remove roof-valley debris so PNW rain drains the way it should. It pairs well with a roof moss removal visit.
How much does roof moss removal cost?
It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, how much moss is present, and whether you add treatment or gutter cleaning. Every job is quoted up front with a free, no-obligation estimate, so you know the price before any work starts.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. We are a registered Washington contractor, which means we are licensed, bonded, and carry liability insurance, all of which the state requires. It protects you and your property on every job, and it is one more reason Bellingham homeowners can hire us with confidence.
