Carolina Beach NC • Wood + Composite Deck Cleaning
On Pleasure Island, deck boards take a double hit: salt spray off the Atlantic and wind-driven sand that scours the finish like fine sandpaper. We bring wood and composite decks back to color with bio-based detergent and pressure matched to the board.
We call you back, look at what you have, and tell you what it needs. No pressure, no charge.

A Carolina Beach deck lives in the harshest spot on the property. Salt spray settles into the grain, blown sand abrades the surface on every windy afternoon, and the unobstructed island sun bleaches softwood to driftwood gray inside two summers. Oceanfront and second-row decks, most of them elevated on pilings, take the worst of it.
Carolina Beach runs heavy on vacation rentals and second homes, and the deck is usually the photo that closes the booking. We get rental decks turnover-ready on a schedule and treat year-round homes on the cadence the salt load actually calls for. Composite and wood both come back; they just need different handling.
Our wash uses a bio-based cleaner that pulls salt residue, ground-in sand grit, algae, and the gray weathered layer out of the boards. We set pressure to the material so softwood does not fuzz and composite does not scar. Railings, stairs, and the piling-level under-deck are part of the job. Licensed and insured, coastal NC owned and operated. Free quotes, and we tell you straight whether a board has cleaned-up life left or has reached the end.
Wood and composite deck cleaning for Carolina Beach homes.
Yes. Salt holds moisture against the wood and feeds gray weathering, and wind-driven sand acts like a fine abrasive that wears the surface and any finish off faster than an inland deck. A regular wash clears the salt and grit before they do lasting damage.
That is most of what we do on the island. We time the wash between guest stays so the deck photographs clean for the next booking. Standing turnover schedules are welcome.
Yes. We clean the deck surface, railings, stairs, and the accessible under-deck and piling-level areas. We walk the whole structure with you on the quote.
Both clean up. Softwood gets a lower-pressure pass so the grain does not raise; composite (Trex, TimberTech, AZEK) takes a different setting to clear the green film. We match the method to the board.
Faster than inland, because of the direct sun and salt. Plan on the shorter end of the range. A stain or seal after cleaning buys more time, and we tell you when the wood is dry enough to seal.
