From Olde Point to the Topsail side — gentle house, roof, driveway & sidewalk soft washing
Hampstead sits on the Pender County coast between Wilmington and Topsail Island — close enough to the Atlantic and the Intracoastal that salt air, humidity, and long warm seasons keep home exteriors under constant siege from algae, mold, and mildew. Those black streaks creeping down the roof and the green film hazing the siding aren't dirt you can rinse away; they're living growth feeding on the surface, and around here they come back fast.
From the established golf neighborhoods like Olde Point and Belvedere Plantation to the newer subdivisions going up along Highway 17, High Tide Soft Wash brings low-pressure, root-killing cleaning that lifts the growth without blasting your surfaces. It's the safe alternative to pressure washing — gentle on your home, tough on what's actually growing on it.
Pressure washing just blasts away what you can see. Soft washing kills what you can't.
That's the entire difference. High pressure knocks the surface growth loose for a few weeks — then the algae, mold, and mildew grow right back from the roots it left behind. Our low-pressure treatment kills the organism itself, so the clean lasts a season, not a shower.
Vinyl, brick, stucco, or fiber cement — cleaned at low pressure with chemistry that kills algae and mildew at the root, so it stays clean far longer than a pressure-wash rinse.
Those black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma, a living algae eating your shingles. We treat it at low pressure to kill it at the source — no roof-shortening blasting and no voided warranty.
Concrete and pavers hold onto dark organic staining that turns slick and unsafe over time. Our surface cleaner pulls up years of buildup for an even, bright finish — the kind of before-and-after that makes you want to go clean the whole block.
Wood and composite trap moisture under algae and fungus, which speeds up rot. Regular gentle cleaning lifts the growth and adds real years of life to the surfaces you actually use.
With the Intracoastal and Topsail so close, marine slime builds fast. Soft washing kills the biofilm that makes docks and hulls slippery — safer footing, cleaner boat.
Two jobs in one: we flush the leaves, shingle grit, and debris out of the troughs so water flows where it should, then brighten the black tiger-stripes off the gutter faces so the whole roofline looks maintained again.

By the way — pressure washing and power washing are the same thing: high-pressure water, sometimes heated. Soft washing is the different one — low pressure, professional-grade cleaning solutions, and results that last longer because the growth is dead, not just knocked loose.
