Lincroft NJ Estate Restoration: Stucco Soft Wash, Travertine Pool Deck Cleaning & Roof Moss Removal

On this Lincroft, New Jersey estate, Above & Beyond Softwash completed a comprehensive exterior cleaning and restoration project that addressed stucco, travertine pool decking, and roof moss while protecting the propertys landscaping. The property sits under a heavy tree canopy, which contributed to persistent moisture on the north-facing walls and allowed algae and mildew to take hold. We used methods matched to each material to remove biological growth without causing further damage.

Stucco is one of the most delicate and porous exterior finishes, so we used a specialized Soft Wash process rather than high pressure. High-pressure washing forces water into the substrate and can leave permanent scarring or lead to structural rot, so it was not an option for this home. Instead, we applied custom-blended chemical solutions that penetrate and eliminate mold, grime, and moss at the root, then rinsed gently to remove residues.

We treated the main house, the rear storage shed, and all trim, soffits, and eaves to ensure a total property reset. The homeowner confirmed the results, saying the treatment "actually eliminates" the biological growth rather than just cleaning the surface. That testimony reflects the difference between a true soft wash and a surface-only approach.

The travertine pool deck required a similarly careful approach. Travertine is a premium natural stone that is highly porous, and on this deck black mold and organic growth had rooted deep within the pavers. No high pressure was used on the stone. Instead, we applied a restorative chemical treatment that lifted mold from the stones pores and restored its natural appearance.

This chemical restoration brought the tiled rear patio & pool deck back to a brand new condition. Plus, it removed the organic biofilm that had created a slip hazard. We also treated the surrounding pool furniture so the entire pool area looked and felt refreshed without risking damage to the stone or nearby surfaces.

The front and right sections of the roof were affected by moss, which can lift asphalt shingle granules and trap moisture against the roof deck. To address this, we applied a low-pressure roof treatment formulated to neutralize moss and allow it to detach safely over time without harming shingles. The approach focused on removing the moss while preserving the roof materials.

Throughout the project we followed a plant-protection protocol to safeguard the estates landscaping. All grass and plants were heavily saturated with water before, during, and after chemical application. This step helped ensure the vegetation remained unharmed while treatments worked on the building materials.

Lincroft homeowners should note that stucco and travertine are active materials that absorb moisture, so annual maintenance is important. Waiting until visible green or black growth appears means the mold has already established deep roots. A scheduled annual soft wash keeps biological growth at bay, prevents deep-set staining, and protects the investment in your homes exterior. If a contractor does not mention a chemical pre-treatment for stucco or stone, do not let them start the job. Give us a call at (732) 272-6013 to discuss your property. We're always happy to help.
