Pressure & soft wash · Mississippi Gulf Coast

The coast is hard on your house

Salt air, humidity, and shade grow mold, mildew, and algae faster here than almost anywhere in the country. I take it off — with the right pressure for the surface — from Bay St. Louis to Pascagoula.

What I clean

Five services, one truck, one phone number

Every surface gets the method it can handle. Siding and roofs get low pressure and the right mix. Concrete gets a surface cleaner and real pressure.

House soft washing

Low-pressure soft wash for vinyl, stucco, brick, and hardboard siding. Removes mold, mildew, algae, and salt film without damaging surfaces or forcing water behind the siding.

Roof soft washing

Gentle roof cleaning that clears black streaks, moss, and algae. No pressure on the shingles, so you keep your granules and your warranty.

Why soft wash

Pressure is the wrong tool for most of your house

The black streaks running down a Gulf Coast roof are not dirt. They are Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Blast it with a pressure washer and you strip the granules that protect the shingle — which shortens the life of the roof and voids most manufacturer warranties.

Same story on siding. High pressure drives water behind vinyl and hardboard, and it etches stucco. What actually kills mold and algae is the right cleaning solution and enough dwell time, not force.

So siding, stucco, and roofs get a soft wash — low pressure, the correct mix, and patience. Driveways, sidewalks, and patios get a surface cleaner and real pressure, because concrete can take it. Matching the method to the surface is most of the job.

Wash the algae off a roof and it comes back. Kill it at the root and it stays gone for years.

How it goes

Three steps, no surprises

01

You call or text

Tell me what needs cleaning and roughly how big it is. Photos help. Most quotes I can give you over the phone, and I will drive out to look at anything complicated.

02

You get a flat price

A number for the whole job before I start, not an hourly rate that grows. If I find something unexpected, I stop and tell you before it costs you anything.

03

I clean it and walk it with you

Plants get rinsed, windows get closed, and we walk the property together at the end. If something is not right, I fix it before I load up.

The work

Drag the handle and see the difference

Every photo below is my own property in Gulfport. No stock images, no borrowed results — just the same equipment and mix I bring to your house.

Front walk, exposed aggregate. Years of algae and organic staining, one pass with the surface cleaner.
Driveway partway through cleaning, the far end bright and the near end still dark The finished driveway cleaned evenly from the garage to the street Mid-job Finished
Full driveway, front to back. That is the original color coming back — no coating, no stain.
Gutter face and soffit streaked with black mildew before soft washing The same gutter face and soffit clean and white after soft washing Before After
Gutter face and soffit. Black mildew like this needs the right mix and dwell time, not pressure.

Halfway down the front walk. Left side cleaned, right side still as-found — that line is the whole sales pitch.

For business owners

Your trucks are your first impression

Salt eats work trucks on the Coast, and a dirty van does not make the phone ring. Mobile fleet washing means I come to your yard on a set schedule — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — so your trucks stay presentable without pulling a driver off route to sit at a wash bay.

Priced per unit on a recurring schedule, so you know what it costs every month. Reclamation wash first if the fleet has been sitting a while, then a maintenance rate after that.

Questions

Straight answers

Will pressure washing damage my siding or roof?

It can, which is exactly why I do not use high pressure on those surfaces. Siding, stucco, and roofs get a soft wash at low pressure. Concrete and masonry get real pressure because they can take it. The damage people worry about comes from using one setting on everything.

What are those black streaks on my roof?

Algae — Gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, which is why it spreads downward in streaks. It is not stain and it will not rinse off. It has to be killed with the right solution or it grows straight back.

Is the cleaning solution safe around plants and pets?

Landscaping gets soaked down before I start and rinsed again after, which dilutes anything that reaches it. Keep pets inside while I am working and let treated surfaces dry, then everything is back to normal.

How much does it cost?

Every property is different, so I quote each one instead of posting a number that probably would not fit your house. Price comes down to square footage, how many stories, roof pitch and access, and how far gone the mold or algae is. Estimates are free, and you get one flat price for the whole job before I start — never an hourly meter and never a surprise at the end.

How often should this be done?

On the Coast, most houses want a wash every 12 to 18 months, and shaded north-facing walls closer to yearly. Roofs run longer, usually every three to five years. Driveways are down to how much you care and how much traffic they get.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — Moran's ProWash is licensed and carries liability insurance. If your HOA or property manager needs a certificate of insurance on file before I start, ask and I will send it over.

Do you need my water and power?

Just an outside spigot in most cases. I bring everything else. If your water pressure is low I will let you know before we start rather than halfway through.

Do you do commercial and recurring work?

Yes. Storefronts, restaurant dumpster pads, drive-thrus, sidewalks, and building exteriors, plus scheduled recurring service for property managers and HOAs. Fleet washing runs on the same kind of schedule.
