Deck & Patio for your Charleston property
The piazza is the whole point of a Charleston house, and the long shaded side porch is exactly where mildew turns heart pine slick and gray. We brighten aged boards gently, working with the grain so nothing furs, and clear the dark growth from brick courtyard patios tucked behind the garden walls.
Charleston, SC at a glance
Charleston's historic peninsula, from South of Broad to the harbor and the neighborhoods along the Ashley and Cooper rivers, sits in warm, salt-laden Lowcountry air. That humidity, heavy spring pollen, and marsh air feed mildew and algae on clapboard, stucco, brick, and slate and metal roofs. Because so many homes here are historic, gentle soft-washing - never high pressure on old mortar and wood - is the right way to keep them clean.
Care for the aging piazzas and lime-stucco facades below Broad follows the same soft-touch preservation standard championed by the Historic Charleston Foundation.
Exterior work on a protected downtown property often runs through the historic-district review overseen by the City of Charleston.
The peninsula's architectural heritage is the same one celebrated a few blocks up Meeting Street at the Gibbes Museum of Art.
How we get deck & patio right
Outdoor living is the whole point in Charleston, from a downtown piazza catching the river breeze to a screened porch on Johns Island. But the same shade and humidity that make those spaces livable also grow slick mildew and gray weathering across wood, and dark algae between pavers and flagstone. We tailor the cleaning to the surface: softer, controlled pressure and the right solution for aged heart-pine and cedar so we brighten the grain without furring or gouging it, and firmer cleaning for brick and stone patios. Salt air and pollen leave a dull film even on newer composite decking in Mount Pleasant and Daniel Island, and we lift that too. The result is a porch or patio you can walk barefoot on again, cleaned gently enough for the old boards yet thorough enough to clear a full Lowcountry season of growth.
Every Charleston job starts with an upfront, flat quote and finishes with workmanship you can count on.
