Professional soft washing and pressure washing.
Restore your home without damaging it.
About our exterior cleaning
Texas RoofCrafters provides professional soft washing, pressure washing, roof cleaning, and exterior house washing throughout Montgomery County and the surrounding areas.
Texas heat and humidity create the perfect environment for algae, mold, mildew, dirt, pollen, and organic growth to build up on roofs, siding, concrete, fences, patios, and other exterior surfaces.
Our cleaning process isn't simply about blasting everything with high pressure. We use the right combination of cleaning solution, water pressure, dwell time, and pre- and post-treatment based on the surface we're cleaning.
The result is a deeper, longer-lasting clean while protecting your home and exterior surfaces.
Soft washing vs. pressure washing.
Not every surface should be cleaned with high pressure.
Soft washing
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with professional cleaning solutions to treat and remove organic growth, staining, algae, mold, mildew, and other contaminants.
We commonly use soft washing for:
- Asphalt shingle roofs
- Siding
- Stucco
- Painted surfaces
- Fascia and soffits
- Gutters
- Fences
- Other delicate exterior surfaces
Instead of relying on pressure to force stains away, the cleaning solution does the work.
Pressure washing
Pressure washing uses higher water pressure and is better suited for harder, more durable surfaces.
We commonly pressure wash:
- Concrete driveways
- Sidewalks
- Patios
- Pool decks
- Certain masonry surfaces
- Other hard exterior surfaces
The key is knowing when to use pressure and when not to.
Our cleaning process.
A professional exterior cleaning involves more than spraying water on a dirty surface.
Property & surface inspection
Before we begin, we inspect the areas being cleaned and determine the appropriate cleaning method. We look for things such as existing damage, loose siding, failing caulking, roof conditions, landscaping, electrical components, exterior fixtures, and other areas that may require additional protection.
Property preparation & pre-treatment
Before cleaning, we prepare the surrounding area and protect sensitive surfaces and landscaping as needed.
Depending on the surface, we apply a pre-treatment cleaning solution designed to begin breaking down algae, mold, mildew, dirt, and organic contamination. This allows the cleaning solution to do much of the work instead of relying on excessive pressure.
Professional cleaning
Once the cleaning solution has had the proper dwell time, the surface is carefully cleaned using either a soft-wash or pressure-wash method appropriate for that material.
Our goal is not simply to make the surface look better temporarily. We want to remove the contamination responsible for the staining while minimizing unnecessary wear on the surface.
Post-treatment
Certain surfaces may receive a post-treatment after cleaning. Post-treatment helps address remaining organic contamination and can continue working after the initial cleaning process is complete.
This is especially useful on surfaces such as concrete where deeply embedded organic staining can remain even after the surface has been washed.
Final rinse & inspection
Once cleaning is complete, we perform a final rinse where appropriate and inspect the completed work. We also rinse and clean surrounding areas as needed and make sure the property is left clean when we're finished.
Professional roof & shingle cleaning.
Those dark streaks running down your roof usually aren't just dirt.
In many cases, roof discoloration is caused by algae and other organic growth that develops on the shingles over time.
Trying to remove it with high-pressure washing can damage asphalt shingles and accelerate granule loss.
That's why we do not rely on high-pressure washing to clean asphalt shingle roofs.
Instead, we use a controlled soft-wash roof cleaning process.
The cleaning solution is applied at low pressure and allowed to treat the organic growth responsible for the staining. Depending on the roof and conditions, staining and organic material may continue to lighten and disappear after treatment as the cleaning process continues to work.
The goal is a cleaner roof without aggressively blasting the shingle surface.
Why have a roofing contractor clean your roof?
Your roof isn't a driveway.
Texas RoofCrafters is a professional roofing contractor first, which means we understand how roofing systems are designed to shed water and where problems can occur.
While we're working around your roof, we're also able to recognize potential roofing concerns such as:
- Damaged or missing shingles
- Exposed fasteners
- Failed sealant
- Pipe boot deterioration
- Flashing issues
- Ventilation concerns
- Loose or damaged ridge shingles
- Areas that may require maintenance or repair
We understand shingles, flashing, penetrations, vents, gutters, and roof drainage systems, and we clean accordingly.
Whole-house exterior cleaning.
A professional house wash can dramatically improve the appearance of your home without the need for aggressive pressure.
Our exterior house washing process can remove or treat buildup from:
- Siding
- Brick
- Stucco
- Fascia
- Soffits
- Exterior trim
- Gutters
- Porches
- Entryways
- Other exterior surfaces
Soft washing is particularly effective for homes because cleaning solutions can reach into textured surfaces, seams, corners, and other areas where organic growth develops.
Driveways, sidewalks & concrete.
Concrete requires a different approach than your roof or siding.
We use professional pressure-washing equipment and cleaning treatments to remove years of accumulated:
- Dirt
- Algae
- Mildew
- Organic staining
- Surface buildup
- Weather-related discoloration
Where appropriate, we can pre-treat the concrete, professionally pressure clean the surface, and apply a post-treatment to help address remaining organic contamination and produce a more even finished appearance.
More than just pressure washing.
Anyone can point a pressure washer at a surface.
Professional exterior cleaning is about understanding what you're cleaning, what's causing the staining, what cleaning solution should be used, how much pressure the surface can safely handle, and how to protect everything around it.
At Texas RoofCrafters, we combine professional equipment with our experience working on roofs and exterior building systems to provide a cleaning process designed around the property, not a one-pressure-fits-all approach.
Bring your home back to life.
Whether your roof is covered in dark streaks, your siding is developing green algae, or your driveway and sidewalks have become dark and stained, Texas RoofCrafters can help restore your property's appearance.

Questions
What should I know before starting?
Will you pressure wash roof shingles?
No. We never use high-pressure cleaning on shingles.
Does cleaning fix roof damage?
No. Cleaning is separate from repair; damaged roofing or exterior material should be assessed for appropriate repair work.
What do you check before recommending cleaning?
We review the surface material, its condition and its cleaning needs before recommending an appropriate method.
What information should I provide before soft washing?
Tell us which roof or exterior areas need attention so surface condition and the appropriate cleaning method can be reviewed.
