Soft Washing for Homes & Roofs in Greater Memphis
The heat and humidity we have in the Memphis region are tough on exterior surfaces. To help combat the damage caused by our local environment, The Window Guy uses a gentle, low-pressure soft wash process to remove algae, mildew, pollen, dirt, and grime without risking damage to paint, siding, trim, or shingles. It’s the safe, manufacturer-recommended way to restore curb appeal and protect your investment.
What Is Soft Washing?
We’re glad you asked! Soft washing combines specialized cleaning solutions with low water pressure to lift and rinse organic growth, dust, dirt, and general grime. Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing is designed for delicate or painted surfaces and roofing materials where high pressure could cause damage.

“I cannot thank them enough for an exceptionally well done, thorough soft washing service.
Not only was our home and gazebo sparking clean but I could not have asked for better customer service. We have found this type of friendliness coupled with professionalism almost nonexistent in today’s world.
Thank you “Window Guy.” Next up…window washing!”
