Your Deck Needs More Than a Rinse.

The grey color that develops on an aging deck isn't dirt you can scrub off with a brush. It's a combination of UV-damaged wood fibers, deep-set mold and mildew, algae colonies, and biological growth that has worked its way into the grain.

Left untreated, it breaks down the wood's surface, makes the deck dangerously slippery when wet, and accelerates rot. Cleaning it regularly extends the life of the wood and is the required prep step before any stain or sealer will actually bond correctly.

We match the cleaning method and pressure to the surface. Wood decks get a gentle soft wash. Composite and Trex decks get low-pressure rinsing with cleaner formulated to avoid voiding manufacturer warranties.

Deck washing is the single most important step before restaining or resealing. Applying stain over a dirty, contaminated surface means the stain won't penetrate and will peel within a season.

Decks, Fences, and Outdoor Wood Structures

We clean all the outdoor wood and composite surfaces around your property, not just the deck boards.

Wood Deck Boards

Pressure-treated pine, cedar, redwood, and hardwood decking cleaned to remove grey oxidation, mold, mildew, algae, and staining.

Composite & Trex Decking

Low-pressure cleaning safe for PVC and composite materials. Removes the organic film and black mold spots that build up on composite surfaces.

Deck Railings & Balusters

Wood, composite, and metal railings cleaned to match the deck. Spider webs, oxidation, and grime removed from every surface.

Fences & Privacy Screens

Wood privacy fences, picket fences, and lattice panels soft washed to restore color and remove years of biological buildup.

Pergolas & Gazebos

Overhead structures that collect algae, debris, and staining on the top surfaces and undersides. Cleaned top to bottom.

Stairs & Landings

Deck stairs are typically the first place algae makes a surface slippery and dangerous. We clean and treat the full stair run.

Deck Washing FAQ

A typical deck takes 1 to 3 hours depending on size, condition, and how many structures are included. Heavily stained or large multi-level decks take longer. We'll give you an accurate time window when we quote the job.
Yes. Composite and Trex decks require a different approach than wood. We use low pressure and a cleaner formulated specifically for composite materials to avoid voiding the manufacturer warranty or damaging the surface cap.
If your wood deck is cleaned and dried, it's the perfect time to apply stain or sealer. A clean surface allows the product to penetrate the wood properly. Applying stain over a dirty deck is one of the most common reasons stain fails within a year. We do not apply stain ourselves, but we leave the deck in ideal condition for it.
Once a year is the right interval for most decks in Indiana. Shaded decks near trees or in low-drainage areas may need it more frequently because moisture and leaf debris accelerate mold and mildew growth. Composite decks tend to need it less often than bare wood.
High pressure absolutely can damage wood if used incorrectly. It raises the grain, splinters soft wood, and can drive water deep into boards. We control the pressure carefully based on the material and condition of your deck. Soft, weathered wood gets a much lower pressure than dense hardwood or composite.
Pricing is based on the square footage of the deck and any additional structures like railings, stairs, or fences. Every quote is free and upfront with no surprises. Fill out the form below or call us and we'll get you a number quickly.
