Homeowners in Coquitlam face green streaks on siding and black algae on roofs year-round. These unsightly stains do more than hurt curb appeal. Moss and algae trap moisture against exterior surfaces, leading to premature material breakdown and potential water intrusion into walls.
Our soft washing service targets organic growth with specialized cleaning solutions rather than high pressure. We break down algae, moss, and mildew at the cellular level, killing spores that cause regrowth. This approach protects your vinyl, stucco, and painted wood from damage caused by power washers, which can strip paint, crack stucco, and force water behind siding.
We clean multiple exterior surfaces around your property including driveways stained with green algae, fences covered in mildew, weathered decks, and garage doors with black streaks. We serve properties across Austin Heights, Maillardville, Burke Mountain, and Westwood Plateau with gentle yet thorough cleaning that removes years of buildup without causing surface damage.
After our cleaning agents dwell for 10 to 15 minutes, we rinse all surfaces with low-pressure water. This dwell time allows the cleaning solution to fully break down organic matter and lift embedded stains. We remove all dissolved algae, dirt, and chemical residue for a uniform finish.
We protect your landscaping from any residual cleaning agents during the rinse process. Our technicians direct rinse water away from sensitive plants and garden beds. The final rinse in neighborhoods like Riverview Heights takes 30 to 45 minutes for an average home, including complete coverage of all treated surfaces and attention to detail around trim and windows.

Coquitlam’s wet climate encourages moss and algae to return faster than in drier regions. We recommend soft washing every 24 to 36 months to maintain your curb appeal and protect surfaces from moisture-related damage. Your recommended frequency varies based on specific property conditions. North-facing walls and shaded areas in Westwood Plateau may require more frequent cleaning due to limited sunlight exposure.
We recommend scheduling service in spring or fall before the rainy season begins. Late spring cleaning in May or June removes winter buildup before summer sun sets stains deeper into surfaces. Early fall treatment in September prepares your home for the wet season ahead, providing maximum protection during the months when organic growth accelerates.
Our soft washing service takes 2 to 4 hours for an average single-family home. The timeframe depends on your square footage, the severity of organic growth, and the number of surfaces we treat. Most homeowners schedule service during regular business hours without being present, as our technicians only need exterior access to complete the work.
Yes, our soft washing service removes moss safely without damaging your shingles. The low-pressure application we use avoids lifting shingle edges or forcing water under roofing materials. The cleaning solution we apply kills moss at the root, preventing rapid regrowth that accelerates deterioration.
We soft wash vinyl siding, stucco, brick, concrete, wood decks, fences, and asphalt roofs. Our service is also effective on painted surfaces, EIFS synthetic stucco, cedar shake siding, and decorative stone. Our professionals assess each surface to ensure appropriate cleaning solution strength and application technique for optimal results.
No, most homeowners are not home during our service. Our technicians access only exterior surfaces and do not require entry to your property. As long as exterior access is available and pets are secured indoors, we proceed with the work.
No, we pre-wet and rinse your landscaping to protect plants and grass. The biodegradable cleaners we use break down naturally without causing soil contamination. Our technicians take extra care around sensitive plants, gardens, and decorative landscaping on your property.
We recommend late spring from May to June or early fall in September for your soft washing service. These periods provide dry weather windows for proper treatment application and thorough rinsing. Scheduling before the rainy season maximizes protection during the months when organic growth accelerates on your property.
