Santa Barbara Soft Wash
About Santa Barbara Soft Wash
Local, insured, and gentle on everything except grime.
Our Story
I'm the owner of Santa Barbara Soft Wash, and I started this business for a simple reason: too many homeowners were getting their stucco cracked and their paint stripped by pressure washing crews who didn't know the difference. Soft washing is the gentler, longer lasting way to clean a home, and I wanted to do it right for the neighbors I share this coast with.
Every job I take on gets done the way I'd want it done on my own home. That means protecting your landscaping, using biodegradable solutions that are safe for your plants and pets, and walking the property with you when I'm finished to make sure you're happy.
I'm a licensed California contractor, #1105057, insured to $2,000,000 and bonded for $25,000. But the number I'm proudest of is 4.9 stars across 40 Google reviews from homeowners right here in Santa Barbara.
If you want your home cleaned by someone who treats it like his own, I'd love to take a look. Every job is backed by the Make It Right Promise.
Why Soft Washing Beats Pressure Washing, Every Time
Pressure washing works by brute force. It blasts the surface stains off, but it can etch paint, force water behind siding, and tear the protective granules off your shingles. Worse, it leaves the underlying mold and algae alive, which is why everything looks dirty again within months.
Soft washing is different. We use a gentle, low pressure application that kills the organisms causing the staining, then rinses everything clean. The result: your home stays clean 2-3 times longer, your paint and roof stay protected, and we use 4-6 times less water doing it, something that matters here in Santa Barbara County.
It's not just our preference. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) and major roof manufacturers specifically recommend low pressure cleaning, because high pressure washing can void your roof warranty.
The right clean protects your biggest investment.
