Coastal decks collect salt film, overnight mildew, and the constant damp that marine layer drops on west-facing boards. Soft wash with wood-safe chemistry, low pressure, rinse top-down. We never raise the grain on cedar or redwood.

Del Mar runs heavy coastal humidity and salt-air exposure on the bluff-front and Camino Del Mar areas, plus significant estate-scale pressure-washing scope across The Mesa, Olde Del Mar, and the inland Del Mar Country Club area. Tile-roof soft-wash and premium-material technique requirements dominate the work.. Coastal decks collect salt film, overnight mildew, and the constant damp that marine layer drops on west-facing boards.
How soon can I stain the deck after cleaning?
No, wood needs to hit below about 15% moisture content before stain will bond. That usually means 48 to 72 hours of dry weather after a cleaning. Stain on a wet deck will peel within a year.
Will pressure washing splinter my deck?
Only if someone misuses the wand. Tips held back from the surface and cleaner chemistry do most of the work. If your deck is already rough, a light sand pass after drying smooths it before you stain.
