Dynamic and challenging weather conditions are the norm on barrier islands like Assateague, as seasonal weather patterns and occasional large storm events continuously reshape the landscape. Indeed, Assateague owes its very creation as a National Seashore to the weather. In the 1950's, some 5,000 private lots comprising what is now National Park Service land were zoned and sold for resort development.
After 3-12 months you would need to apply a wood cleaner to remove the gray wood cells. This can be done with scrubbing and or light pressure washing. After cleaning the deck you will need to neutralize the wood deck cleaner with a wood brightener. Let dry for 24-48 hours then apply your deck stain of choice.
Typically, it is recommended to have your garage pressure washed AT LEAST once per year to maintain cleanliness. It is also common to pressure wash once in the spring, usually April (post winter) and once in the fall, late September-October. There is also the option to do a power rinse down of your garage which is about 65% of the total price of a standard garage power washing. The difference lies in the treatment of oil/grease spots in the garage. The rinse down targets loose contaminants on the deck surface but will not treat any of the staining.
