House and roof washing
Low-pressure washing for siding, trim, soffits and porch ceilings. Takes off the algae, mildew and salt film that a hose leaves behind.
If this is what you are looking at, you are not the first person on this island to look at it.
A soft wash is low pressure and a cleaning solution, not a pressure washer pointed at the house. The crew should be rinsing salt off the elevation before anything is applied, keeping the solution off plantings, and working top down so nothing dries on the way. Pressure is what forces water behind siding and up under shingle butts, and on an island where wind-driven rain already tests every seam, that is the last thing a wall needs.
$450 – $1,400
typical range, not a quote for Long Beach Island and the mainland.
Not a quote, and not a judgement about your property. What a job actually costs comes down to height, access, what the surface is made of and how far it has been left — which is why it takes someone standing in front of it.
Give us the details once. We do the matching, and you decide whether to take any of it further.
Coverage
Grouped the way the area actually divides, north to south and across the bridge.
The north end, split between raw inlet exposure at the tip and sheltered, algae-growing lagoons behind it.
Dense small-lot streets with more rental duplexes than anywhere else on Long Beach Island.
The south end, with more hardscape, more pools and more painted woodwork than the rest of the island combined.
Year-round owners rather than rental turnovers, so the calendar runs on leaf drop rather than on Saturdays.

Windows and gutters
Clearing the run, flushing every downspout, and — separately — taking the black tiger-striping off the outside face.
Patios, drives and pool decks
The outdoor shower, the fence, the gates and the rails — the small stuff that gets skipped and shows the most.
