You Want a Beautiful Home Without the Risk of Damage
You love your home, and you take pride in keeping it clean, welcoming, and well cared for. However, over time, ugly black streaks, green algae, and patches of mildew begin to creep across your siding, roof, and walkways. It’s frustrating. You try rinsing it away, but nothing seems to work. Even worse, you’ve heard that pressure washing can damage delicate surfaces. So, what do you do?
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Homeowners all over Central and Northern Virginia face the same challenge—and that’s exactly why Excellent Exteriors is here to help.
We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between a clean home and a safe home. With soft washing, you can have both.
The Problem: Mold, Algae, and Mildew Are More Than Just Ugly
Here in Virginia’s humid climate, conditions are perfect for organic growth to thrive on your home’s exterior. Mold, mildew, and algae don’t just stain your surfaces—they break them down over time. These contaminants feed on organic materials like the limestone in asphalt shingles or the buildup on siding and brick.
Left untreated, they can:
- Causes premature deterioration of roofing materials
- Create slippery, unsafe walkways and decks
- Contribute to poor air quality and trigger allergies
- Decrease your home’s curb appeal and value
Unfortunately, many homeowners try to fight this growth with high-pressure washing, only to cause more harm. Blasting away stains may remove surface dirt, but it doesn’t kill the root problem. And it can strip paint, dent siding, or even damage roof shingles.
You need a solution that actually solves the problem, without putting your home at risk.
The Solution: Soft Washing with Excellent Exteriors
At Excellent Exteriors, we use a proven method called soft washing to remove mold, algae, and mildew safely and effectively. Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing uses:
- Low-pressure water flow (about the same as a garden hose)
- Biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning solutions
- Targeted treatment that kills organic growth at the root
Our system is designed to sanitize your home’s exterior without damaging delicate surfaces like siding, shingles, stucco, and wood.
In fact, soft washing is the recommended method by leading roofing manufacturers such as ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association), who caution against using high pressure on asphalt shingles. Our method ensures that your surfaces are not only cleaned but also protected for the long term.
How It Works: Our Simple, Safe Process
We make it easy to transform your home—without the worry.
- Inspection
We start with a thorough walkaround to identify trouble spots and assess the type of growth on your home. - Custom Treatment Plan
Not all stains are created equal. We tailor our cleaning solution to match the type of contaminant (e.g., Gloeocapsa magma—those black roof streaks). - Soft Wash Application
Our technicians gently apply our eco-friendly cleaning solution using low pressure, allowing it to penetrate and kill mold, algae, and mildew at the root. - Rinse and Protect
We finish with a soft rinse, leaving your surfaces spotless—and your property intact.
Most importantly, the results last much longer than pressure washing because the growth is completely neutralized, not just washed away.
