Sea Pines sits under one of the densest live-oak and pine canopies on the island, and that constant shade is exactly what mildew, green algae and leaf tannins love. Homes tucked along the lagoons and the Sea Pines Forest Preserve rarely dry out fully, so siding, garden walls and shingle roofs pick up dark streaking faster than sunnier lots. We soft wash these exteriors so the growth is killed at the root rather than driven deeper into weathered cedar and stucco.
Palmetto Dunes runs right up to the beach, which means salt spray is part of daily life. That airborne salt settles on north-facing walls, screen enclosures and pool-cage frames, holding moisture against the surface long after the last rain. For oceanfront and lagoon-front homes here we rinse away salt residue and treat mildew with low-pressure cleaning that protects window seals, painted trim and aluminum framing.
Shipyard Plantation blends villas, condos and single-family homes along the golf courses, and shared regime buildings often show algae on the shaded, irrigated sides first. We coordinate with property managers and regimes so entire buildings are cleaned on a single visit, keeping the community's exteriors consistent from unit to unit.
Across all three, the enemy is the same Lowcountry recipe: high humidity, salt air off the Atlantic and heavy tree cover that keeps surfaces damp for days. That combination is why island exteriors need cleaning more often than mainland homes — and why the method matters as much as the schedule.
