Power Washing and Painting in Atlantic Beach, NC
Docks, driveways, decks and beach homes. On the east end of Bogue Banks, salt and sun never take a day off, and neither does the buildup.
Salt and sun on both sides
Atlantic Beach homes sit between the ocean and Bogue Sound, and anything outdoors takes a beating. Docks gray out and get slick. Driveways stain. Siding picks up a salty film that holds moisture and feeds mildew.
A lot of our Atlantic Beach work starts with a good wash. That's how a recent dock and driveway job here started. The wood and the concrete both came back looking close to new.
When the house or the dock needs more than a cleaning, we handle that too. Painting, staining and sealing are all part of what we do.
A dock and driveway in Atlantic Beach
Years of salt, sun and grime were no match for the crew. The dock and driveway were washed back to a fresh, like new look just in time for summer.

The cheapest way to protect a coastal property is to keep the salt and mildew off it. A yearly wash protects the paint on the house, keeps the dock safer to walk on and saves the stain from breaking down early.
If it's been a while, we'll take a look and tell you honestly whether a wash will do it or whether the wood or paint needs more.
When washing isn't enough
Sometimes a wash shows you what the grime was hiding. Chalky residue that rubs off on your hand, peeling at the trim and bare wood showing through all mean the paint has done its job and it's time for a new coat.
We'll be straight with you about it. If a wash will do, that's what we'll quote. If it needs paint or stain, we'll show you why.
Docks, decks and driveways all in one trip
Most Atlantic Beach properties have more than one surface that needs attention. The dock, the deck, the driveway and the siding all collect salt and grime, just at different speeds.
If you're thinking about more than one, mention it when you call. Washing everything in one visit saves a second setup, and if the dock or deck needs stain afterward, we can plan that right behind the wash so the wood is protected before it weathers again.
Atlantic Beach questions
How often should a dock in Atlantic Beach be washed?
Once a year at minimum. Docks on the sound collect salt, algae and grime fast, and slick boards are a safety problem, not just a looks problem.
Should I stain the dock after washing it?
If the water soaks into the boards instead of beading up, yes. Washing restores the look, and staining is what protects the wood from the next season of sun and water.
Do you paint beach cottages and condos?
Yes. We do interior and exterior painting on homes of every size. If it's a condo or a home in an association, check with them on colors and rules first, and we'll work within those guidelines.
Do you power wash driveways and patios too?
Yes. Concrete driveways, walkways and patios are some of the most common things we wash in Atlantic Beach, right alongside docks and siding.
Do you paint the inside of beach homes too?
Yes. We do interior painting as well, from a refresh between rental seasons to a full repaint of the house.
