Pressure washing uses high water pressure to blast surfaces clean — best for concrete, brick, and tough stains. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions — best for delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and painted wood that high pressure would damage. We use the right method for each surface so your property gets clean without getting damaged.

Not when done correctly. Our roof cleaning uses a low-pressure soft wash technique with cleaning solutions that kill algae and mildew at the root — without dislodging shingles or stripping protective granules. High-pressure washing on shingles is what causes damage, which is why we never do that.

A proper soft wash kills the algae and mildew at the root rather than just rinsing the surface, so results stay visibly clean far longer than a quick pressure rinse. Most homes stay clean for 12 to 18 months depending on shade, tree cover, and humidity.

Yes. Power washing and pressure washing are two names for the same service — cleaning exterior surfaces with high-pressure water. In Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana some people search power washing and others say pressure washing, but it is the same job. Bayou Shine does both, and on delicate surfaces like roofs and siding we switch to a low-pressure soft wash instead. Same crew, same equipment — just the regional word choice.
