Maintaining a home in a coastal community like Riverlights in Wilmington, NC (28412) requires more than just standard upkeep. Between the humid river air and the coastal elements, organic growth like algae and mildew can quickly take hold on even the most beautiful properties. Recently, Tidewater Pro Wash had the pleasure of performing a complete house wash for a stunning home in this vibrant neighborhood, restoring its bright, clean aesthetic.
Riverlights House Washing Project Overview
The Riverlights neighborhood is known for its modern coastal charm, but the same environment that makes it beautiful also presents challenges for exterior maintenance. This particular home was beginning to show the effects of local moisture and environmental buildup.
We were called in by a homeowner in Riverlights to help clean up their beautiful home. They had heard from some of their neighbors that when we do house washing, we do a soft wash on homes, which is a really safe way to clean the house. Rather than use damaging high pressure, we use a low pressure system to do a detergent-based cleaning, which provides as safer and longer lasting clean. All the painted wood trim along the home was covered in mildew, but we got it looking brand new.
The Problem Areas Included:
- Algae-Stained Trim and Siding: Significant organic growth had accumulated on the white trim, window frames, and lower siding panels, dulling the home’s sharp contrast.
- Weathered Porch Columns: The prominent white columns on the front porch had developed dark streaks and grime, detracting from the home’s primary focal point.
- Window Surround Buildup: Fine dust and organic spores had settled into the crevices of the window frames, making the exterior look aged and neglected.
Our Professional Cleaning Process
For a high-quality home in a community like Riverlights, a standard high-pressure approach is never the answer. We utilized our signature soft wash method to ensure a deep clean that is completely safe for modern building materials.
- Step 1: Specialized Detergent Application: We applied a custom-blended, biodegradable cleaning solution designed to kill algae and mildew at the source. This solution breaks down the bond between the grime and the surface without the need for abrasive force.
- Step 2: Gentle Low-Pressure Rinse: Once the solution had thoroughly treated the organic growth, we used a low-pressure rinse to wash away the debris. This protects the integrity of the paint, siding, and seals around windows.
- Step 3: Detail-Oriented Finishing: We paid special attention to the decorative columns and window trim, ensuring that every corner of the home regained its original luster.
As seen in our house washing and roof cleaning portfolios, this soft wash method provides a “like-new” finish that lasts much longer than traditional pressure washing.
Final Results: Restored Coastal Charm
The transformation was immediate and dramatic. The dark, dingy streaks on the white trim and columns were replaced with a crisp, bright finish that perfectly complemented the home’s dark siding. The homeowners were thrilled to see their property’s curb appeal fully restored, making it stand out once again in the beautiful Riverlights community.
Whether you are a neighbor in Riverlights, Porters Neck, Leland or Hampstead, we bring the same level of care and professional expertise to every job. We would love the opportunity to serve you and help restore your home to its original beauty.
