Careful Cleaning for Decks and Fences
No Aggressive Blasting
We avoid high-pressure blasting on delicate wood surfaces, which can cause severe splintering, 'furring,' and permanent damage to the grain.
Soft Washing When Appropriate
For many surfaces like vinyl fencing and painted wood, we utilize a soft washing approach to lift stains safely without forcing water into the material.
Controlled Pressure
When pressure is necessary for composite or tougher materials, we use carefully controlled settings and perform test spots to ensure surface safety.
Improve Outdoor Safety
Our cleaning process helps remove slippery green algae and moss buildup, making your deck and exterior stairs safer to walk on when wet.
Common Deck & Fence Problems We Clean
Algae & Moss Buildup
Slippery green organic growth that thrives on damp outdoor surfaces in our coastal climate.
Mildew Staining
Unsightly black or grey spots that form on wood, vinyl, and composite materials over time.
Dirt, Grime & Weathering
We help remove surface dirt and weathering. Please note that while we can significantly improve the look of grey/weathered wood, results depend on the age, material, and condition.
Fence Discoloration
Dull, dirty fence panels that detract from your property line and overall curb appeal.
Our Deck & Fence Cleaning Process
1. Review the material, age, condition and buildup
We carefully inspect the wood, composite, or vinyl to identify delicate areas and determine the safest approach.
2. Choose the safest cleaning method for the surface
We decide whether a soft wash, a specialized cleaning solution, or controlled low pressure is the best fit.
3. Clean carefully using controlled methods
Using the selected method, we evenly clean the deck boards, fence panels, and railings.
4. Rinse, review and recommend add-ons if helpful
We perform a thorough rinse to wash away debris, review the final look, and can quote separate add-ons like house washing.
