Professional deck & patio in Wilmington Island
Wilmington Island, GA at a glance
Wilmington Island sits on Savannah's east side between the Wilmington River and the tidal marsh, where homes take direct salt air off the water on every surface. Docks, screened porches, paver drives, and roofs collect a heavy chalky salt film and grow dark mildew fast in the shade of the live oaks, and the humidity here rarely lets a north wall dry out. The older ranch homes and the newer waterfront builds alike need frequent, gentle attention to fight that constant marsh-and-salt buildup. A low-pressure soft-wash is the only safe way to clear it from delicate island finishes without driving salt and water behind the siding.
These eastside island homes sit squarely within the coastal jurisdiction of Chatham County.
The restraint a salt-battered island facade calls for mirrors the heritage-material care behind the SCAD Museum of Art.
How we get deck & patio right
Outdoor living is the whole point of a Savannah home, from a downtown courtyard catching the river breeze to a screened porch out on Wilmington Island. 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 match the method to the surface: softer, controlled pressure and the right solution for aged heart-pine, cedar, and old porch boards so we brighten the grain without furring or gouging it, and firmer cleaning for brick and stone patios. Salt air and oak pollen leave a dull film even on newer composite decking out in Pooler and Richmond Hill, and we lift that too. The shaded corners, joints, and porch screens where mold starts first are handled by hand, and we work carefully around coping and landscaping. Because so much of the growth sets in through the long humid summer, a clean heading into fall leaves the space ready for the months when everyone is actually outside.
Every Wilmington Island job starts with an upfront, flat quote and finishes with workmanship you can count on.
