Fence & Deck Washing Service
When Salt Air and Sunshine Steal Your Deck's Beauty
Maybe you've noticed your deck boards slowly losing their rich, warm color, fading to that weathered gray that makes even quality lumber look cheap and neglected. Or perhaps you've stepped outside after the morning marine layer and felt that telltale slickness under your feet that makes you grab the railing a little tighter. These aren't just cosmetic issues, they're signs that your outdoor investment needs professional attention before small problems become expensive replacements.
Salt air is particularly sneaky. It settles invisibly on every surface, creating a film that attracts and holds dust, pollen, and organic matter. Over time, this combination creates the perfect environment for algae and mildew growth, especially in areas that don't get full sun all day. Fences face similar challenges, with irrigation overspray, coastal moisture, and accumulated grime working together to dull finishes and create slip hazards around gates and walkways.
Here's what makes professional deck cleaning different from weekend DIY attempts: we understand that every surface requires a tailored approach. Our gentle soft wash process removes organic growth safely while actually preparing surfaces for staining or sealing if that's in your future plans. For fences, our careful technique lifts stains and buildup while protecting delicate details like decorative knots, hardware, and the plants growing nearby. The result isn't just cleaner wood, it's restored grain, enhanced safety, and the kind of natural beauty that makes your backyard feel like the retreat it was meant to be.
Our Proven Process Protects What You Love
Every deck and fence cleaning job starts with a detailed walkthrough where we identify your specific wood type, whether it's cedar, redwood, pine, or composite decking, and note any areas that need special attention. This isn't just about being thorough, it's about using exactly the right approach for your particular materials and conditions. We then apply our biodegradable cleaning solution that breaks down algae, mildew, and salt deposits at the molecular level, working from the inside out rather than just blasting everything with high pressure.
What happens next is where our expertise really shows. Using calibrated low-pressure equipment, we perform a gentle soft wash that cleans deep into wood fibers without scarring or damaging the surface. Our technicians are trained to read grain direction and board condition, adjusting technique as they work to ensure consistent results across every square foot. After cleaning, we neutralize any remaining solution and perform a final rinse that leaves surfaces ready for immediate use or future stain and seal applications.
Because we're working in your outdoor living space, we take extra care to protect everything that matters to you. We pre-wet all plants and landscaping, cover outdoor lighting and electronics, and protect glass surfaces from overspray. Our equipment is specifically calibrated for delicate wood surfaces, and we coordinate timing with any painters or stainers you might be working with. It's the kind of premium care you'd expect from local professionals who understand that your deck and fence aren't just structures, they're extensions of your home.
