House Soft-Wash + Cedar Brightener
Eight years of north-side cedar mildew lifted and tone restored across all four elevations. Re-stain prep completed same week.
Lavallette's barrier-island bungalows and newer rebuilds face the same salt-air load as the rest of the island. Vinyl and fiber-cement siding soft-wash easily, and we pay special attention to the decks and railings that take the brunt of the ocean spray.
Lavallette runs the width of the barrier island, ocean to bay, in a compact grid. That layout means almost every street has both an exposed ocean end and a sheltered bay end, and the same street can need two different approaches. The ocean blocks get salt crusting on windows, screens, and rails; the bay blocks get slower biological growth in the shade. The town is also heavily seasonal, so a large share of the work is compressed into the weeks either side of summer.

A mix of original single-storey bungalows and the raised replacements that went in after 2012, mostly vinyl or fiber-cement. Both clean up well and neither is particularly delicate, which makes Lavallette straightforward work compared with the cedar towns north of the inlet. The real surface load here is horizontal: decks, stairs, railings, and outdoor showers all take direct spray and wear faster than the siding does.
