Soft washing for homes that live with ocean air — siding, driveways, decks, and patios cleaned the careful way.
Few places in Delaware are harder on a home's exterior than Rehoboth Beach. Ocean salt rides in on every breeze and settles as a chalky film on siding, railings, and windows. The humidity that hangs between the Atlantic and Rehoboth Bay keeps algae and mildew growing most of the year, and homes tucked under the town's mature shade trees rarely dry out at all. Even a well-kept beach house starts to look dingy fast here — and rental properties, with heavy summer traffic, show wear on walkways and decks quicker than anywhere else.
Round Robin is based in nearby Millsboro, an easy drive down Route 24. I'm a solo owner-operator, which means the person quoting your wash is the same person doing it — carefully, and without the hard sell.
Beach-town siding needs a gentle touch. I soft wash Rehoboth homes with low pressure and a cleaning solution that dissolves the salt film and kills algae and mildew at the root, rather than blasting the surface and hoping for the best. Vinyl siding, painted trim, soffits, and gutter faces all come clean without the cracked panels and forced water leaks that high pressure can cause. I handle homes up to two stories, from year-round residences to summer rentals between seasons.
Between beach sand, boardwalk foot traffic, and shady, damp corners, Rehoboth concrete goes gray and slick in a hurry. I clean driveways, sidewalks, pool decks, and entry walks with a surface cleaner that scrubs evenly across the slab, then spot-treat rust, oil, and leaf stains. A clean, bright driveway makes a bigger difference to curb appeal — and to renters' first impressions — than most people expect.
Decks are practically a second living room at the beach, and they take the worst of the weather. I wash wood decking with controlled low pressure that removes the gray, algae-slicked layer without shredding the grain, soft wash composite boards and vinyl fences, and clean paver patios with care around the joint sand. If you're planning to stain or seal, a proper wash first is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that peels.
I wash properties in and around Rehoboth Beach — the in-town streets near the boardwalk and Rehoboth Avenue, the Rehoboth Beach Yacht & Country Club community along the bay, homes around Kings Creek Country Club, and communities off Route 1 such as Sawgrass at White Oak Creek. Year-round home or summer place, it gets the same careful treatment.
Round Robin is based in Millsboro, minutes from Rehoboth, so scheduling is quick and there's no big-company overhead in the price. I do every job myself — no crews, no rotating strangers on your property. Quotes are free and honest: if your siding only needs washing on two sides, that's what I'll quote.
This close to the ocean, every one to two years is the right rhythm for most homes, and many oceanside or heavily shaded properties benefit from an annual soft wash. Salt and humidity never take a season off here. If you're not sure where your home falls, I'll give you a straight answer when I look at it.
Done with high pressure, no — it can crack panels, blow out seams, and push water behind the walls. Done as a soft wash, absolutely. Low pressure plus the right cleaning solution removes algae, mildew, and salt haze safely, which is why soft washing is the only method I use on siding.
Yes — that's one of the most common jobs I do near the beach. I can schedule around your turnover calendar, and you don't need to be on site as long as I have access to the areas being washed and a working spigot. Before/after photos are no problem if you manage from a distance.
