The siding and gutters on our house were installed 18 years ago. Although the siding had been cleaned prior to 2020 with a garden hose, it had never been professionally washed. As a result, the siding was in need of a good cleaning. We contacted ChicagoLand SoftWash and after providing some pictures of the exterior of the house, they provided us with a cost estimate. Their price seemed reasonable. After being assured there would be no surprise costs added at the end of the job, we agreed to have ChicagoLand Softwash clean our siding, gutters, and downspouts. Tom arrived a few minutes early on the agreed upon day and time and commenced setting up his equipment. Although things moved a bit slower than Tom expected, due to low water pressure from the exterior faucets of our house, he completed the job in less than two hours. When we walked around the exterior of the house for the final inspection of the job, the change in its appearance was striking. In the weeks since the job was completed, we continue to be impressed by how much better our house looks since it was washed. Everything Tom said he would do he did. Tom is very professional and seemed genuinely interested in keeping his customers happy. In summation, we are happy customers and give ChicagoLand SoftWash our enthusiastic recommendation. read more

I had a bad experience with them. Would not recommend. I reached out for a quote. The nice guy said he would be in my part of town in about a week and swing by. He did. I asked him about water flow, he adjusted a valve and he gave me a quote for biweekly pool cleaning service. All nice. In and out maybe 12 minutes. Later that day I received an invoice for $442. lol. Never any prior mention of a fee for "swinging by." Bummer as I would have hired them but was so turned off by this deceptive behavior. read more

I wanted to thank Tom and Chris for their hard work on our pool. We had a situation where our pump died late in the season in '23 and we tried to replace it ourselves. We got some bad advice and bought a pump that was way underpowered for our pool. Then last spring I broke a finger and we didn't have money to have somebody else help. So when Tom showed up our pool put the local duck pond to shame and to make things worse I had modified the pool panel to use the wrong connection. Tom only took a few minutes to figure out the solution and get going pumping near sewage water out of our pool. Including animal carcasses. By the end of thw evening it was filling up from the tap and by the next day he had the new pump running with chemicals starting to balance and had our stairs in the water. His price was great for what he went through, when some people would have just walked away. We are so grateful he was able to put everything right and can't wait to get back in the water. read more

Very happy with their siding cleaning. I will definitely be back next spring. They quoted half the price of another company. Reasonable and quick. Thank you! read more

Tom at ChicagoLand SoftWash is my hero! I was going to clean my filthy covered front entryway and garage area myself but decided that it needed a professional. I reached out to Tom and he was so pleasant and accommodating. He was able to complete my job that same day and boy, what a job he did! Both areas are like brand new! I HIGHLY recommend Tom and his team at ChicagoLand SoftWash for all your outdoor cleaning needs! Thanks Tom, YOU are AWESOME!! read more

Tom and his team did an incredible job on our home's exterior. We did the initial assessment over text with photos, and he walked me through everything on the phone, explaining his recommendations clearly and thoroughly. You can tell immediately that he knows his stuff - his experience and knowledge are evident in every interaction, but so is his kindness and passion for the process. The results speak for themselves. Parts of the front of our house have concrete embellishments that hadn't been cleaned in 80 years, and they look absolutely fantastic now. Fair pricing, great communication, and a genuinely kind person to work with. Highly recommend Tom and his team and we'll definitely be calling them again for future brick needs! read more

Tom was great to work with. He answered quickly and was able to provide a contract right away for exactly what I needed (in-ground pool cleaning). The work was done to perfection. read more

I've received service from Tom a few times now. The first was for my pool inspection, when Tom came and helped me learn about how to care for the pool. He even made me practice the steps of turning on and off the equipment to be able to change the filter, which I appreciated. Then he steam washed the pool cover, which has seen better days. He's an amazing resource and someone who is willing to help in a pinch--I had a pool emergency the other evening, and he really helped allay my panic. He's knowledgeable and friendly and a great guy. read more

My wife found ChicagoLand SoftWash based on some posts in a facebook group. At first I was a little hesitant, but once they arrived my feelings quickly changed. They did an amazing job doing our driveway, patio, aprons, and sidwalks. I honestly think it had been quite a few years since we had done this last and honestly my concrete looks years newer/cleaner. I HIGHLY recommend using them for quick and great work. He arrived promptly on time and had a great attitude. read more

Do not use to clean roof shingles. Black algae returned. Can't get them back to clean. Can't get a refund. They ignored emails and a telephone message. read more

Second time using Chicagoland Softwash for spring siding cleaning. Unbelievable service, attention to detail, and making sure the customer is fully satisfied. Tom and his team are truly remarkable service professionals. Don't under estimate the pros of an exterior cleaning. Def. don't underr estimate Chicagoland Softwash! Thank you Tom!!! read more

We recently moved to a home with a pool and needed help with upkeep. Tom not only made sure our equipment worked properly, but also took the time to show us how to maintain the pool on the day to day. He was knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend using Tom and Softwash if you are considering it. read more

Tom and his son are awesome! They are honest and work hard to get the job done right. Here is the work they completed for me: -They softwashed the exterior of my house to remove algae, mold and mildew -They cleaned and brightened my gutters -They powerwashed all flag stones, fences, patios and decks I had a couple areas that they couldn't get to because of a hornets nest and once I had the hornets nest removed, they gladly came back to finish the job. Tom is also available to answer questions and always responds quickly and with a smile. I will not hesitate to use ChicagoLand SoftWash again and be a repeat customer, these guys are incredible - thank you, Tom! read more

Great service and timely updates. They did a great job cleaning the house while carefully avoiding the many wood trim/door areas I asked not to be cleaned. Attention to detail and friendly people, I highly recommend them. read more

Tom and Chris are a fantastic father/son team. My house looks amazing. I have hired a few different power washing companies and I paid them too much for poor quality work. From my query on the website to date of service, everything was smooth and fast. They cleaned my house and detached garage from top to bottom, including my decorative concrete walkways and patio in the back and all of my landscaping brick. Honestly, it all looks brand new. My neighbors had comments immediately after Tom left. Very professional and efficient. Did not leave a mess behind at all. I would highly recommend. read more

We usually live in the White House...... ok, a White House, that on occasion has a tendency to turn green in spots due to algae. Green to some might be the luck of the Irish, but not if it's growing on the side of your house. Not wanting to run afoul of the homeowners association, it was time to take action. Several neighbors recently had their homes power washed, none were happy with the results. So, it was off to Yelp and to look for home soft wash company. After reading all the Five Star Reviews, I decided to give them a call. It was easy to get an estimate, answered a few short questions about the size of the house, taking pictures of the exterior and texting them and shortly after we received an estimate via text. The estimate was clear and concise, listing the services provided and their three year warranty. It was easy to communicate with Tom (the owner) and on the day of service, he even called that he was on his way. They showed up on time, a father and son operation and don't let me forget, the daughter who does the books. I wasn't able to hang around while they did their magic because Lola (our boxer) had a veterinary appointment. Arriving home we were greeted with a sparkling clean White House, not a sign of the green mold that was rearing its ugly head (poetic license- mold doesn't have a head, but I standby the ugly). We've already have had several neighbors comment on what a great job they did. I would highly recommend their services without hesitation. read more

AMAZING BUSINESS! I was a first time customer and had both my deck and house softwashed, and this business is NEXT LEVEL! Not only are they very thorough, but they truly care about the customers needs. Businesses like this now a days are a rare find! ChicagoLand SoftWash is both a company I would do business with again, and also recommend to my closest family/friends. They are also very conscientious of pets and ensuring the fence is closed when they are working, and for any pet parents this runs near and dear to our hearts to keep our fur babies safe. read more

What a great company! Our roof and siding look terrific and the price was right too. Fantastic communication and follow through. Highly recommend! read more

We recently bought a house with a pool, had no previous knowledge of any pool maintenance. These guys came out and taught me everything I need to know. read more

We recently bought a house that had some mold and moss growth on the roof. Our insurance said they were going to drop us if we didn't get it removed. We called several companies that kept giving us a run around. I finally came across Chicagoland Softwash, and Tom was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very responsive and informative, and let me know exactly how he would deal with the issue. Even with colder weather effecting the chemical, he had a boiler to make sure we would keep the temperature high for the chemical to penetrate and work properly. We also requested that Tom clear our gutters and downspouts, as there was a blockage somewhere. He did all of this quickly and efficiently and was sending pictures and texts throughout the process. He then walked through everything with me once I returned home. Great company, great person, great work. Highly recommended. Thanks, Tom! read more

Good job! Fast response. The work was completed quickle, neatly and thoroughly. Good company, definite recommendation.

I recently purchased a home with a pool and needed help to get it running. Tom was quick to respond and flexible with my schedule. The system layout is a little funky, but he was able to figure it out, prime everything, and got it running. He tested out the water and got the pH balance to where it needed to be. Very happy the service! read more

Super quick response time! I received the quote and appointment time in less than 24 hours. They were very knowledgeable about the pool setup and found things that weren't installed correctly. They fixed the installation problems and educated my husband on the best way to clean the filter and treat the water. Very friendly and will be using them again! read more

So responsive and knowledgeable for sure! We purchased our house and the pool was not closed but they were able to clean well and quickly and help us with what we needed to know about pools (our first time with a pool)! great experience so far! read more

I contracted Chicago Softwash to power wash my balcony, which was in pretty bad shape. The balcony consisted of cement tiles whose ridges were covered in a film of algae in some places, quite a bit of dirt buildup and weeds growing between the tiles. I had to pay a deposit of over $100 just in order to schedule, which is something to note. We had to reschedule twice - the first time, a job he was on took longer than expected, and the second, he came but was unable to get my washer to hookup to his machine. He had to go to Home Depot a couple of times during the appointments because he needed some unexpected parts. I did eventually get the service done, and he did a good job. He got rid of all the almost all the dirt and removed the algae. He washed my windows for me, too (though looking at them, they still look quite dirty, so I'm not sure how much that helped) and removed the old grate covering my drain, advising me on what to install instead. Tom was very kind and I could tell he put his best effort into the work. There is a bit of residual dirt which I will just sweep up, and there was some on the carpet that I had to vacuum, but other than that the balcony is clean and fresh. One thing that I didn't like was that he got water on my carpet when removing the hose - I had given him a bin for the residual water, but he gave it back to me too early, and quite a significant amount of dampness remains. It will take some time to dry and I hope it doesn't mold. If you are considering their services, note that they were expensive, over $500 for a 6 x 26 balcony, and whereas I could buy a decent power washing machine for about $350 and do the job myself. I am not sure how they compare to the value and service of other companies. But I felt it was important to get a professional, considering this was the first time the balcony had probably been cleaned since its first owner occupied the unit. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Chicagoland Softwash guys KILLED it today at my NW side of Chgo! They made the house look brand new with a siding wash removing all the algae/mold, removed the same all from my 15+ year old deck. They stained the deck a beautiful dark ebony and brought it to life, completely awesome - I am sooo very pleased! ** pics to come... ** read more

This company is fantastic! Received a quote and my patio and siding was washed the very same day. Tom is a fantastic and knowledgeable! My patio looks brand new! Plus the prices are extremely reasonable. You truly need to look no further. read more

Great duo and house looks great. Nice people and good value. Promptly arrived as well and left it clean. Thanks!

The previous owners of our home let moss overtake the roof. We hired softwash and they applied a chemical to kill off the moss. We were told it would take a few weeks for the moss to fall off- he was right it did take like 6 weeks before the dead moss finally washed away in the rain. Now it looks great- I can hardly tell there was ever a problem! read more

Just had my property cleaned and disinfected. Amazing results. The railings and doors are all disinfected. The stone and brick are so clean like new! I wish I would have done this sooner. It's been on my list to do since 2018. Job took about 3 hours. I have a long property. Fabulous Job! Thanks again Tom! read more

From start to finish Steve was fantastic. extremely pleasant and so efficient! He fit me into his schedule immediately and then called and came a day early due to the weather forecast. So pleased with his work. My cement driveway and sidewalk were in dyer need of TLC.....years of heavy soil. Came out sparkling clean!!!!! He even power washed a flagstone path and old bricks around my tree. Highly recommend! read more

I can not say enough great things about Tom and Chris. They take unbelievable pride in their work and my house looks unbelievable. I called them to get algae off my roof that was pretty extensive and they not only did that but they powered washed my concrete which has never looked better. They cleaned cleaned my older fence to make it look new. I have already referred them to 3 of my neighbors! The only thing that I am disappointed about is that I didnt know about these guys 20 years ago. read more

Tom was out on 4/21 and did a fantastic job cleaning a composite deck/stairs (that had mildew and lichen), cedar fencing (with mildew), flagstone pavers (with mildew and algae), and concrete sidewalk (with algae). So appreciative of his thorough work and attention to detail. He took his time and did it right. This is hard to find. read more
