The whole island, lighthouse to the point — house, roof & deck soft washing
Oak Island runs long and low — miles of beach strand on one side, the Intracoastal and the Davis Canal threading the back side — which means most of the island's homes take salt-heavy air from more than one direction. Add the year-round community that actually lives here (this isn't just a rental island) and you've got full-time homes fighting a full-time battle against algae, mildew, and roof streaking.
High Tide Soft Wash is just across the bridge in Supply, and Oak Island is a regular route for us — from the lighthouse end to the point, beach walkouts to wooded interior streets. We soft wash it all at low pressure with chemistry that kills growth at the root, so year-round homes and summer rentals alike stay bright between visits.
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.
Salt-loaded siding cleaned gently — algae and mildew killed at the source, paint and finishes protected from both grime and force.
Island roofs streak fast in this humidity. Low-pressure treatment clears the algae without costing you shingle life.
Beach walkovers, decks, and rails take the worst of the salt. Restored gently — no splinters, no stripped grain.
Sandy concrete under island shade grows a slick film — we clear drives, walks, and patios so they're safe and bright.
Clean exteriors photograph better, review better, and rebook better. Scheduled washes keep your listing sharp all season.
Canal and ICW boats live in the spray. Gentle wash-downs that clear salt and growth while protecting the finish.

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.
