Soft Washing in Chatham, NJ
The safe, low-pressure method for delicate surfaces that high pressure would damage.
Soft Washing in Chatham, NJ
If you live in Chatham, you already know how quickly the shady, tree-lined lots around town let algae and mildew take over. Between the mature oaks along the Passaic River corridor and the damp stretches near the Great Swamp, north-facing walls and roofs here rarely get enough sun to dry out — which is exactly why that black streaking and green film keeps coming back.
Gallo Bros are a family-owned North Jersey crew, and soft washing is what we do instead of blasting your home with a pressure washer. We use low pressure and the right cleaning solutions to kill the algae, mold, and mildew at the root, so it stays gone longer. That matters on Chatham's older colonials and center-hall homes, where hard water pressure can force moisture behind wood siding, trim, and shingles.
Whether you've got a classic clapboard colonial near Fairmount Ave, a split-level with vinyl siding, or dark roof stains you're worried about, we'll match the method to your surface. Honest quotes, no pressure — just a clean home that looks right for the neighborhood.

“Gallo Bros powerwashing team headed up by Joe, did a great job on our exposed, lakefront home. They went above and beyond to remove dirt and mildew from our house siding, soffits and multiple bluestone patios and walkways, as well as our dock and wood furniture. They also took great care to avoid or work around multiple bird nests which had recently hatched babies pre fledge. I will definitely call them in the future!”
Cathy Marshall
“We hired Gallo Bros Power Washing to power wash, re-sand and seal our 20 year old paver patio and front walk. They also performed a few repairs and reset a few areas that needed attention. We had never had this done professionally before. From the beginning estimating phase to the final coat of sealer, we were very happy with the services provided, the price and the final result, which they also warrantee for 1 year. I highly recommend Gallo Bros. Power Washing and will use them for other services in the future.”

Soft Washing in Chatham — FAQ
What's the difference between soft washing and power washing?
Power washing uses high pressure, which can damage siding, wood, and roof shingles. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills algae and mildew at the source, so results last much longer. On most Chatham homes — especially older colonials and roofs — soft washing is the safer choice.
Why does my Chatham home get so much algae and green streaking?
Chatham has a lot of tree cover and low-lying damp areas near the Passaic River and Great Swamp. Shaded, north-facing walls and roofs hold moisture and don't dry out, which lets algae, mold, and mildew thrive. Soft washing removes it and slows how fast it returns.
Is soft washing safe for my roof shingles?
Yes. Those black streaks on roofs are usually a type of algae, and blasting them with high pressure can strip granules and shorten shingle life. We use a low-pressure soft wash designed specifically for roofs to clear the staining without harming the shingles.
Do you service areas around Chatham too?
We're a North Jersey, family-owned business and work throughout Morris County and the surrounding towns. If you're near Chatham — Madison, Summit, Florham Park, New Providence — reach out and we'll let you know if we can get to you.
How do I get a quote?
Call or message us with your address and what you'd like cleaned — house, roof, or both. We'll give you an honest quote with no obligation. No high-pressure sales, just a straight answer.
What is soft washing?
Soft washing cleans with low pressure plus a cleaning solution instead of blasting the surface. It kills algae, mold and mildew at the root and is safe for roofs, siding, stucco and painted surfaces.
Soft washing vs pressure washing — what's the difference?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water and is for hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaner, and is for delicate surfaces like roofs and siding that high pressure would damage.
Is soft washing safe for plants?
Yes. We wet down and rinse surrounding landscaping before and after, and use solutions that break down safely. Your plants are protected.
How long does soft washing last?
Because it kills the algae and mold instead of just rinsing it off, soft washing stays clean far longer than pressure washing alone — often 2–3x as long.
