Welcome to the Riverside Family

Professional, Local Pressure Washing

Riverside Pressure & Softwash, is the company in Missouri to get the job done! Our soft wash & pressure washing is the choice to cleaning and sanitizing your roof, concrete, brick & masonry, patios, decks, fence, commercial building, playground equipment and more. Just like the inside of your home or business, dirt, algae, rust, and other environmental stains will destroy the exterior of your home or building. Don't forget about your home's exterior; get it cleaned regularly with our professional soft wash & pressure washing services. We are also licensed and insured for your protection.

WHAT WE DO

Pressure & Softwash Services

From professional house washing to siding soft washing and deck pressure washing, we select the right technique and surface-specific solution for every job. No guesswork. Done right.

Residential Exterior

Professional House Washing

Your home's exterior takes a beating year-round — UV exposure, moisture, algae, mold spores, and road grime all accumulate on siding, trim, and fascia. Left unchecked, this buildup doesn't just look bad, it breaks down surfaces and shortens the life of your paint and materials.


Our professional house washing service uses the right low or controlled pressure and surface-specific cleaning solutions to thoroughly clean your home's exterior without causing damage. We treat every surface with the care it deserves — not a one-size-fits-all blast.

  • Removes mold, mildew, algae, and dirt buildup
  • Safe for vinyl, wood, brick, stucco, and painted surfaces
  • Restores curb appeal and protects your investment
  • Surface-matched pressure and biodegradable solutions
  • Full exterior walkthrough before & after

Outdoor Living

Deck Pressure Washing & Restoration

Your deck and porch are extensions of your living space — but seasons of sun, rain, and foot traffic leave behind stains, slippery algae growth, and ground-in grime. Here's something most companies won't tell you: bleach is not the answer. Bleach breaks down wood fibers, causes whitening and discoloration, and does lasting structural damage to your deck over time.


We use the correct wood-safe chemistry for the job — metasilicic acid and oxalic acid — the professional standard for deck restoration. These treatments effectively lift staining and organic growth, restore the wood's natural tone, and preserve the structural integrity of the fibers rather than destroying them. The result is a genuinely restored deck, not just a bleached one.

  • No bleach — metasilicic & oxalic acid treatment protects wood fibers
  • Restores natural wood tone and color without whitening damage
  • Pressure calibrated specifically to deck material type
  • Safe for treated lumber, composite, cedar, and painted wood
  • Eliminates slippery algae growth — safer for your family
  • Ideal prep surface for staining or sealing

Soft Wash System

Siding Soft Washing — The Smarter Clean

High-pressure washing on siding is one of the most common — and costly — mistakes homeowners face. It can force water behind panels, crack vinyl, strip paint, and void manufacturer warranties. That's why we use a dedicated soft wash system for siding.


Siding soft washing uses low pressure combined with professional-grade, biodegradable cleaning solutions that penetrate and kill mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria at the source — not just at the surface. The results last 4–6× longer than standard pressure washing and won't damage your home.

  • Low-pressure system — no risk of damage to siding or seals
  • Kills mold, mildew & algae at the root, not just the surface
  • Biodegradable, eco-safe cleaning solutions
  • Results last significantly longer than standard pressure washing
  • Ideal for vinyl, fiber cement, wood, and painted surfaces

Roof Soft Wash

Roof Cleaning & Algae Removal

Those dark black streaks running down your roof aren't just an eyesore — they're Gloeocapsa Magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone in your shingles. Left untreated, it degrades your roof materials, retains moisture, and dramatically shortens the lifespan of your roof. Many homeowners don't realize that leaving this algae unchecked can also void your roof manufacturer's warranty.


Equally important: using high-pressure washing on a roof is one of the fastest ways to destroy it — blowing off granules, cracking shingles, and forcing water under the underlayment. We use a certified soft wash process that eliminates the algae colony entirely without touching the integrity of your roofing system. Done correctly, a proper roof soft wash can restore your roof's efficiency by up to 35% and allows your home to breathe properly again — reducing heat buildup and improving ventilation.

  • Eliminates Gloeocapsa Magma algae streaks at the root
  • Prevents warranty voidance — high-pressure washing voids most manufacturer warranties
  • Soft wash only — zero risk to shingles, granules, or underlayment
  • Restores roof efficiency up to 35% and improves home breathability
  • Results typically last 3–5 years

Driveways, Sidewalks & Patios

Concrete & Driveway Cleaning

Oil stains, rust, embedded dirt, algae, and years of weather exposure make concrete surfaces look aged and neglected — but they're often some of the easiest wins we deliver. Professional concrete pressure cleaning restores your driveway, walkways, and patio to a like-new appearance.


We use surface cleaner attachments and the proper detergents to clean evenly and efficiently — no streaking, no missed spots. For stubborn oil stains or rust, we apply targeted pre-treatment to break down the stain before pressure washing for the best possible result.

  • Removes oil, rust, algae, gum, and ground-in staining
  • Surface cleaner equipment for streak-free, even results
  • Pre-treatment available for tough stains
  • Safe for stamped, stained, and standard concrete
  • Eliminates slippery algae growth — reduces slip hazards

Wood, Vinyl & Metal Fencing

Fence Washing & Restoration

A clean, well-maintained fence frames your whole property. But fences take a beating from moisture, UV rays, and organic growth — wood turns gray and green, vinyl gets streaked and dingy, and metal develops rust and oxidation that spreads over time.


We tailor our fence cleaning approach to the material — soft washing for vinyl and painted wood, calibrated pressure for weathered cedar and treated lumber, and targeted treatment for metal surfaces. The goal is always the same: clean, restored, and protected.

  • Removes green algae, mold, mildew, and gray weathering
  • Technique matched to fence material — wood, vinyl, metal
  • Great prep for staining, painting, or sealing
  • Brightens and restores color without damage
  • Extends the life of your fence significantly

Gutters & Downspouts

Gutter Cleaning & Brightening

Clogged gutters are one of the leading causes of foundation damage, basement flooding, rotted fascia, and landscape erosion — all expensive problems that start with something as simple as debris buildup. Regular gutter cleaning is one of the smartest maintenance investments you can make.


We clear gutters and downspouts of all leaves, debris, and buildup, then flush the system to ensure water flows freely and drains properly. We also offer gutter brightening to remove the dark oxidation streaks — called "tiger striping" — that form on the outside of gutters over time.

  • Full debris removal from gutters and downspouts
  • Flush and flow test to confirm proper drainage
  • Gutter brightening available — removes tiger striping
  • Protects foundation, fascia, and landscaping
  • Recommended annually or after heavy storm seasons

Interior & Exterior

Professional Window Cleaning

Hard water deposits, oxidation from window frames, pollen, and road grime build up on glass over time — leaving your windows streaky, hazy, and dull no matter how many times you wipe them down. Professional window cleaning removes what household methods simply can't.


We use professional-grade squeegee technique and pure water technology to leave your windows crystal clear, streak-free, and spotless — inside and out. It's one of those services that instantly transforms how your home looks and feels, letting in more light and making every room brighter.

  • Interior and exterior window cleaning available
  • Streak-free finish using professional squeegee technique
  • Removes hard water stains, oxidation, and pollen buildup
  • Screen cleaning and frame wipe-down included
  • Safe for all glass types including tinted and coated windows

Rust, Staining & Oxidation

Oxidation, Rust & Stain Removal

Oxidation is one of the most misunderstood and overlooked forms of surface damage — and one of the most stubborn. On vinyl siding, it appears as chalky, faded streaking that regular pressure washing won't touch. On metal roofs, gutters, and trim, it shows up as rust staining that bleeds onto adjacent surfaces and keeps spreading if left untreated.


Standard cleaning chemicals don't neutralize oxidation — they just move it around. We use targeted, surface-matched treatment chemistry specifically formulated to break down and lift rust, mineral staining, and oxidation at the molecular level. Whether it's rust bleeding from metal hardware onto your siding, orange mineral deposits from well water on your driveway, or chalky oxidation dulling your vinyl — we have the right solution for it.

  • Removes rust staining from vinyl siding, concrete, and masonry
  • Treats chalky oxidation on vinyl and painted surfaces
  • Neutralizes mineral and hard water deposits
  • Safe for metal roofs, gutters, trim, and downspouts
  • Surface-specific chemistry — not a one-size-fits-all approach
  • Prevents continued spread and re-staining

Commercial & Large-Scale Projects

Post-Construction Cleaning Services

Construction projects don't end when the last contractor leaves — they end when the building is truly ready. Riverside handles both stages of post-construction cleaning for large commercial projects, and it's important to understand they're two very different services.

Final Clean & Building Turnover
The detailed, interior-focused clean that happens after all trades are done — preparing the building to be handed over to the owner. We go room by room, surface by surface: wiping every wall, baseboard, countertop, cabinet, and fixture. Every window is cleaned inside and out. Floors are detailed by material type. Restrooms and kitchens are fully sanitized. HVAC vents are cleared. When we're done, the building is inspection-ready, presentation-ready, and move-in ready.


  • Full interior detail — every surface, room by room
  • Windows inside and out, frames and sills included
  • Floor care matched to material type
  • Fixture polishing, adhesive and film removal
  • Restroom & kitchen sanitization to occupancy standards

Exterior Wash-Down & Site Clean-Up

The heavy exterior pressure washing service for large commercial sites — parking lots, building facades, loading docks, entryways, and hardscape left covered in concrete dust, mortar haze, and construction debris. This isn't a job for a general cleaning crew. It requires commercial-grade pressure washing equipment and surface-matched technique to restore the full exterior to a finished, presentable state.


  • Concrete dust, splatter, and mortar haze removal
  • Parking lot and parking structure wash-down
  • Building facade cleaning — brick, precast, metal panel, EIFS
  • Loading docks, entryways, and sidewalk restoration
  • Mud, debris, and construction traffic stain removal
  • Commercial-scale equipment for large project footprints

Benefits of Pressure Washing

Pressure washing offers numerous benefits, including improving curb appeal by removing dirt, grime, and stains from surfaces, and extending the lifespan of materials like siding, decks, and driveways by preventing damage from mold, mildew, and algae buildup. It enhances health and safety by eliminating harmful allergens and slippery substances, saves time and effort compared to manual cleaning, and prepares surfaces effectively for painting or repairs by creating a clean and smooth foundation.

Know the Difference

Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing

vs. Soft Washing

These terms get used interchangeably all the time — but they're not the same thing. Knowing the difference matters, because using the wrong method on the wrong surface can cause serious damage.

Power Washing

High Temp + High Pressure

Power washing uses heated water combined with high pressure to blast surfaces clean. The heat gives it extra stripping ability — great for heavy-duty commercial or industrial applications like removing chewing gum, grease, or deeply embedded grime from large hard surfaces.


For most residential applications, the heat and force are unnecessary and can be overkill — which is why we focus on pressure washing and soft washing instead, where we can dial in the exact right approach for each surface.


Best for: Heavy commercial/industrial surfaces, grease removal, large concrete areas

Pressure Washing

Controlled Pressure + Right Chemistry

Pressure washing uses cold water at calibrated, surface-matched pressure levels — paired with the right cleaning agents for the job. There's no one-size-fits-all pressure setting. A driveway needs a different PSI than a wood deck, which needs a different approach than painted siding.


This is our primary service for hard surfaces. Done correctly, pressure washing is highly effective, safe, and delivers results that last. Done wrong — with too much pressure or the wrong chemicals — it causes damage that can cost thousands to repair.


Best for: Driveways, concrete, sidewalks, brick, decks, fences, and most exterior surfaces

Soft Washing

Low Pressure + Biodegradable Solutions

Soft washing uses very low water pressure — often no more than a garden hose — combined with professional-grade, biodegradable cleaning solutions that penetrate and kill organic growth (mold, algae, bacteria, lichen) at the cellular level rather than just blasting it off the surface.


Because the cleaning is done by chemistry rather than force, soft washing is the only safe method for roofs, delicate siding, painted surfaces, and any area where high pressure would cause damage. Results last 4–6× longer than pressure washing alone.


Best for: Roofs, vinyl siding, painted surfaces, wood siding, stucco, and any delicate surface


At Riverside, we assess every surface before we touch it. We'll always tell you which method is right for your specific situation — and why. That's part of the walkthrough we do with every customer.

There was some mildew on north side of house and Dalton was able to remove that as well as give a good wash to the rest of the siding. What normally would take me all day to get done, took him a couple hours. Will definitely be having him come back next year!"
