Deck & Fence Cleaning
Careful, professional cleaning for wood and composite decks and fences. We remove mold, mildew, algae, and weathered graying — restoring the look of your outdoor structures without causing surface damage.
Restore Your Deck & Fence
Wood and composite decks and fences spend their lives exposed to rain, sun, humidity, and biological growth. Without regular cleaning, surfaces accumulate mold, mildew, algae, and a weathered gray color that makes them look far older than they are.
Professional deck and fence cleaning can dramatically restore the appearance of outdoor structures — and is an essential step before applying any stain, sealant, or waterproofing product. We use controlled pressure and appropriate cleaning methods for each surface type, taking care not to raise wood grain or damage composite materials.

Our Approach to Deck & Fence Cleaning
Not all decks and fences should be cleaned the same way. Old or weathered wood requires lower pressure than newer pressure-treated lumber. Composite materials need specific pressure and temperature settings to avoid surface damage. We assess the material and condition of your surfaces before starting and use the appropriate method for each.
We never use excessively high pressure on wood or composite surfaces — a common mistake that can raise grain, splinter edges, or leave permanent damage. Our goal is a clean, restored surface, not a damaged one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Composite decking requires lower pressure than wood and specific cleaning solutions to avoid surface damage or discoloration. We're familiar with composite materials and adjust our approach accordingly. If you have manufacturer cleaning recommendations on file, we're happy to follow them.
Always before. A thorough cleaning removes the dirt, mold, and old surface residue that prevents stain from penetrating properly. After cleaning, allow the wood to dry completely — typically 48–72 hours depending on weather — before applying stain or sealant.
Once a year is a reasonable frequency for most wood and composite outdoor structures, especially if they're stained or sealed. Shaded or humid environments may warrant more frequent cleaning. Cleaning and resealing on a regular schedule significantly extends the life of wood decks.
