Cleaned with chemistry,
not blasted with force.
That green film and black roof streaking isn't dirt — it's living growth. Soft washing kills it at the root with a plant-safe solution at low pressure, so your home stays clean for years, not weeks. High pressure on siding and shingles is how the damage starts. See soft wash vs. pressure wash →
Pressure & power wash
Pressure washing (also called power washing) for hard surfaces only — concrete, brick, stone — with a surface cleaner for an even finish. Never on shingles or siding.
Plant-safe, every job
We pre-wet and rinse all landscaping and apply at correct dilution. Pets are fine once surfaces dry.
No high pressure on roofs
ARMA recommends low-pressure roof cleaning. Pressure strips the protective granules and shortens a roof's life.
Whole-house,
one team, one number.
Quote on the phone. The same crew that washes the siding cleans the deck — no subcontractors, no surprises. Every service below is a flat-rate quote, never an estimate that creeps.
House Washing
Full siding soft-wash. Removes algae, mildew, dirt, and the black gunk in the corners — plant-safe, no high pressure.
Roof Cleaning
Black-streak removal with zero high pressure on shingles. Kills the algae at the root without stripping granules.
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
Surface-cleaner finish on concrete — even, stripe-free. Removes oil, rust, tire marks, algae, and that gray buildup.

Wash and brighten that brings back the original wood color — even on decks that have gone gray.
Patio & Paver Cleaning
Brick, stone, and paver cleaning that protects the joint sand instead of blasting it out.
Gutter Cleaning
Hand-clean the troughs plus an exterior gutter-face wash. Don't find out they're clogged when it pours.
Fence Cleaning
Vinyl, wood, and aluminum fence cleaning — matched to the material so the finish survives.
Rust & Oxidation Removal
Orange sprinkler rust, battery-acid stains, and oxidation — treated with the right chemistry, not brute force.

Soft washing Chemistry does the work.
Chemistry does the work.
Not pressure.
That green film on your north-facing walls is living growth, not dirt. A pressure washer knocks the surface layer off and leaves the spores behind, which is why it looks clean for a month and then doesn't.
We apply a biodegradable solution at roughly garden-hose pressure, give it time to dwell, and rinse. The growth is killed at the root, so the wall stays clean for years instead of weeks — and no water gets driven up behind your siding.
House washing
Reach Second story.
Second story.
From the ground.
Nothing gets leaned against your siding and nobody walks your shingles. Extension wands reach upper siding, soffits and gable ends from the lawn.
That is safer for whoever is holding the hose, and it means your gutters aren't carrying a ladder's weight while the work happens.
Full-property wash
Gutters Cleared from the roof.
Cleared from the roof.
Not from a ladder.
Debris comes out over the roof edge instead of getting pushed further down the pipe. Troughs and downspouts both get checked — clearing one without the other just moves the problem a few feet.
In Michigan this is an ice-dam question as much as a water one. If your downspouts run slow after a storm, the trough is already full.
Gutter cleaning
The rig What actually pulls up
What actually pulls up
to your house.
Water tank, hose reels and a real pressure unit. The machine stays on the lawn and only the hose comes to the house, so nothing heavy parks on your driveway.
Equipment isn't a personality trait, but it does decide whether your siding gets cleaned or just gets wet.

Work done well. Windows even clean when done. Lots of dirt and moss removed from 2 story with soft pressure and cleaner without going on roof! Would recommend highly.
Tre did a great job on my home. He communicated well and was kind and easy to work with. I highly recommend this service to everyone in need of power washing services.
While living in the woods has its charms, a moss covered roof and moldy siding isn't one of them! Amazing job on the roof and siding. Highly recommend! 10 out of 10!
The team did an outstanding job! They were professional, they were quick, and they delivered exactly what they promised.
Great work. Fair price. He worked until he got it done right. I'll hire him again for sure.
You did a great job washing my entire house! Thank you for your quick work!

FAQ
Common questions
How do I get a quote?
Call 616-229-0625 and say what needs cleaning. You get a flat-rate number on the phone, with no in-person estimate visit required.
Is soft washing safe for my house and plants?
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and a plant-safe solution. We pre-wet and rinse landscaping on every job, and the low pressure means no water is forced behind siding and no paint is stripped.
What's the difference between soft washing and power washing?
Power (pressure) washing uses high pressure for hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution for siding, roofs, and wood. We use whichever the surface calls for.
How long do the results last?
Because soft washing kills the algae and mildew at the root, a house wash typically stays clean for two to four years and a roof for three to five, depending on shade and tree cover.
What areas do you serve?
We're owner-operated out of Wyoming, MI and serve the Grand Rapids metro within about 25 miles — Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, Grandville, Walker, Jenison, Hudsonville, Byron Center, Caledonia, and more.
