How Can We Best Serve You?

House
Washing
A house wash is the next best thing to a new paint job – but at a fraction of the cost. It will remove the dirt, spider webs, organic growth, and general grime that has built up over the years and dulled the look of your home. A house wash will improve the visual appeal of the house, making the colors pop again and prolonging the lifespan of the existing paint job in the process.
Roof
Washing
A roof wash is the next best thing to a new roof – but at a fraction of the cost. It will remove the moss, unsightly streaks caused by bacteria, and any other organic growth currently living on your roof. This service will help lengthen the life of your asphalt shingles, saving you thousands in the long run and boosting your curb appeal in the process.
Window
Cleaning
A window cleaning will make your windows sparkle again, allowing more sunlight to shine through and brightening the inside of your home. We detach and clean the window screens using a specialty screen cleaning tool as part of the process. Windows and screens are already cleaned during a house wash, so this service should be booked only if you don’t need a house wash.
Gutter
Cleaning
Gutter cleaning is an important step in protecting your home from water damage and dry rot. When the gutters are clogged, rainwater overflows and can cause problems for siding and fascia. We clear all debris thoroughly and safely – without leaving a mess behind. We also flush the downspouts to ensure the drainage system is functioning properly.
Skylight
Cleaning
A clean skylight can transform the feel of your home by letting natural light pour in – just like it was meant to. Over time, skylights collect dirt, moss, and other buildup that blocks sunlight and dims your interior spaces. We will remove that grime and restore the full brightness of your skylight, making your home feel more open, vibrant, and inviting.
Staircase
Cleaning
Your front stairs are one of the first things people see – but they’re also one of the first areas to accumulate grime and slippery buildup. A front stairs cleaning will restore the look and safety of your staircase. We carefully treat and clean the steps to remove dirt, algae and other organic growth, bringing back curb appeal and reducing slip hazards in the process.

Pressure Washing and Soft Washing In San Francisco
I rarely give reviews but Dan Carey, the maestro of Big City Softwash, is incredibly detail-oriented, reliable, quick to respond, on-time, courteous, and even provides an after report on any trouble points discovered like a spot of dry rot. I saw first saw Dan working on another house a block away from mine and immediately saw he was the man to hire!

Pressure Washing and Soft Washing In San Francisco CA
After seeing a guy scrubbing with soap the facade of a sushi restaurant on 9th avenue, I knew what I needed. I forwent the water pressure option and by grace I found Big City Softwash.
Getting in touch with someone to talk to about the project and simply get an estimate with a booking date soon enough is a refreshing streamlined experience.
The work was well done. The tourette was a bit of a challenge to reach and that was the part that needed to be addressed, but he was able to reach it, scrub it and make it shine, along with the rest of the facade.
The house looks fresh and clean, finally, once again.

Dan of Big City Softwash was incredibly thorough and conscientious. He truly went above and beyond. He brought out a luster in the facade of our building that saved thousands in repainting. And he was incredibly professional, pleasant, and curious throughout. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to soft wash or pressure wash a house?
It’s better to soft wash a house, and the same goes for asphalt shingle roofs. Pressure washing can chip off the paint and cause other property damage like water intrusion, and it can even crack single-pane windows. It’s only better to pressure wash a house if it’s made of brick – or if you’re prepping it for a new paint job.
Will you need access to a water hookup?
Yes, we connect our hose to a water spigot. If the water spigot is in the garage, the garage door can be gently closed on the hose so that the garage isn’t open the whole time. This prevents passers-by from looking in the garage and it also allows us to clean the exterior of the garage door.
What exactly is a “soft wash”?
In the industry, soft wash solution is a mixture of water, bleach and surfactant. The solution gets applied at a low pressure. After 15-20 minutes of dwell time, the surface then receives a garden hose pressure rinse. At Big City Softwash, we go above and beyond by adding a very important step. We scrub the house using a water-fed pole with a soft bristle brush before the rinse. This ensures all the grime and buildup actually comes off the house. If you skip the scrub, you’re left with a semi-clean house with dead organic growth and dirt still very prevalent on the surfaces. When there’s no organic growth, we use a Simple Green solution instead.
