Mister Softwash is not your average "pressure washing" company. As our name states, we utilize a special softwash process that uses a chemical solution to eliminate all organic growth (algae, mildew, moss, lichen) and we use low-pressure to rinse to ensure no damage is done to the exterior of the home or property. It is truly the safest way to clean your home. This process eliminates organic matter down to the source which provides a longer lasting clean than traditional pressure washing. We also utilize professional-grade surface cleaning equipment to wash your concrete, walkways, and patios, erasing years of organic growth in no time. We are veteran-owned, licensed, insured, and have over 10 years experience in the industry. We pride ourselves on providing world class service for a fair price. We service all of Eastern PA and surrounding areas (NJ, NY) as well as North Georgia. We also proudly offer a discount for all active military, veterans, first responders, and senior citizens!

"They were so communicative and professional! My roof looks great. Offered to wash the house (siding and deck) as well. Above and beyond."

"Hired them to do a sidewalk job. Paid the down payment and they scheduled the job. On the day of the job nobody showed up. Sent an email and was called back basically was told I was a liar because “their guys stated they did the job and can you show me pictures to prove it“. It’s called by another guy asked me if I had the materials at the house and I asked why would I have materials? You’re the contractor. Two days go by no response after emails. Fourth day get a call from someone saying I need to pay the subcontractor for the materials even though my bill with Mounts R Us, has all payments through them.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or deck board cracking. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry—in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Yes, pressure washing your deck before staining is a great idea because it clears the wood from any dirt, dust, and debris that could get in the way of solid stain coverage. Washing makes it easier to stain your deck and helps the stain grip the wood so it lasts longer. Pressure washers are faster and easier on your body than scrubbing your deck by hand.
