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.
Mantoloking is the most exposed barrier-island stretch we serve. Salt spray and mildew hit the oceanfront elevations hardest, and most homes here are high-value with delicate finishes. Gentle soft-wash only, with full hardscape and plant protection. These elevations often need attention every 12 months, not 24.
Mantoloking is a barrier island barely a few blocks wide, with the Atlantic on one side and Barnegat Bay on the other. There is no inland buffer anywhere in the borough, so every property is a waterfront property in terms of exposure. Ocean-facing elevations take airborne salt continuously, not just during storms, and the bay side gets steady humidity with far less drying wind. Twelve months is a realistic interval for the exposed elevations here. Owners who stretch it to two years generally find the growth has moved from a film into the surface, which is a longer and more expensive job to reverse.

Predominantly large, high-value homes, a significant share of them rebuilt after 2012 and elevated on pilings. New construction means modern siding that cleans well, but it also means a lot of finished detail in the salt zone: glass railing systems, powder-coated metal, composite decking, and outdoor kitchens. Those finishes are the reason pressure is off the table here. Everything gets a controlled low-pressure application and a thorough rinse so nothing is left to etch.
