The Lowcountry Turns Everything Green. We Turn It Back.

Why every Summerville house grows a green coat

Blame the recipe: Lowcountry humidity, warm nights ten months a year, pine pollen every spring, and shade from live oaks — it's a greenhouse for the algae and mildew that colonize siding, roofs, and concrete. The north side of every house here shows it first. This isn't a dirt problem you can ignore until it bothers you, either: algae holds moisture against your siding and roof, and the same growth on a driveway becomes genuinely slippery when it rains.

The fix isn't more pressure — it's the right pressure. Siding and shingles get soft washed: low pressure, detergents that kill the growth at the root so it stays gone longer, rinsed clean. Concrete gets the real thing: surface cleaners that strip years of buildup in even passes without wand stripes. Companies that bring one method to every surface are how vinyl gets water-forced behind it and shingles lose their granules — it's also the #1 thing we get called to look at after someone's cousin borrowed a rental machine.

And yes — we know why half of you are calling. The HOA letter. Nexton, Cane Bay, Carnes Crossroads, White Gables: the covenants here notice dirty roofs and driveways, and they put dates on it. Send us the letter with your estimate request and we'll schedule inside your cure window.
