Serving the island & the mainland side of the ICW — safe, gentle exterior cleaning
Holden Beach has stayed what the other islands used to be — a quiet, family beach town where the houses are the skyline. And those houses work hard: salt air off the Atlantic, moisture off the Lockwood Folly Inlet and the waterway, and shaded canal-street lots where siding can stay damp until noon. That's a recipe for algae, mildew, and the black roof streaks that make a beach house look tired before its time.
High Tide Soft Wash is based in Supply, just across the bridge and up the road — Holden Beach is about as local as it gets for us. We soft wash island homes and mainland neighborhoods alike, killing the growth at the root instead of blasting it off the surface, so your place looks right from the causeway all the way to the beach walkway. The boats and jet skis on the lift out back get the same gentle salt wash-down while we're there.
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.
Gentle, low-pressure cleaning for beach-house siding — algae and mildew die at the root, paint and trim stay put.
The streaks on coastal shingles are living algae. Soft washing removes them without pressure — protecting the roof you just paid for.
Beach walkovers and decks weather fast here. We restore them without the splintering and etching high pressure leaves behind.
From canal streets to mainland drives — slippery green film gone, concrete brightened, no damage.
Keep the exterior as guest-ready as the interior — clean curb appeal shows up in every review and rebooking.
Boats, jet skis, and personal watercraft on lifts along the waterway collect salt and growth all season. We wash them down gently and thoroughly — clean hull, protected gelcoat, no harsh blasting.

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.
