Santa Barbara Soft Wash
Soft Washing and Pressure Washing in Summerland
Summerland is a small hillside community with a lot of ocean-view homes facing the marine layer head-on. Those exposed elevations catch the moisture and the salt, and it shows up as algae and dulling on the very surfaces you look at every day. I clean them gently so the view out and the look from the street both stay sharp.
Or call 805-689-4079. I serve Summerland and the whole Santa Barbara area.

Exposed to the marine layer
The hillside orientation that gives Summerland its views also leaves roofs and walls sitting in coastal moisture. Soft washing clears the algae and holds up far longer than pressure washing, and it protects tile and painted finishes rather than wearing them down.
Windows worth keeping clear
When the whole point is the ocean view, streaked and filmed-over glass defeats it. A soft wash of the house paired with proper window cleaning gets the coastal haze off and lets the light back in, inside and out.

Zac provided excellent service for us! It was a 2 day job to clean the roof & gutters of our home and guest cottage, and Zac worked tirelessly in 100 degree heat to get it done. He even took photos with a drone and provided a certificate to present to our insurance company. He did a fantastic job at a fair price. If you are looking for someone with integrity, who is hard-working and takes pride in his work, we highly recommend Zac from Santa Barbara Soft Wash!

Zac did a fantastic job. We needed three things: gutters cleaned, marks on house-paint scrubbed off and windows cleaned. He did all three meticulously as well as being friendly and easy to talk to.

I called to get a quote to clean my solar panels. My call was promptly answered and the quote made later the same day. Zack was absolutely professional, timely, and thorough. He showed up when he said he would, worked diligently, took care to protect my tile roof, and not damage any of my plants. I highly recommend Santa Barbara Soft Wash.
When we're done with your home, we hope you'll add yours.

Common Questions in Summerland
Is soft washing safe for my paint and landscaping?
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and biodegradable solutions applied carefully. We pre-rinse and protect plants, and the process is gentler on painted surfaces than any pressure washer.
How long do results last?
Because soft washing kills mold and algae at the root instead of just blasting the surface, results typically last 4-6 times longer than pressure washing.
