Benefits of Deck Cleaning Services
Restores Natural Beauty
Brings back the rich, natural color of wood that has been hidden under years of graying and grime.
Prevents Rot and Decay
Removing moisture-trapping organic growth extends the life of your deck and prevents expensive wood replacement.
Perfect Prep for Staining
A deeply cleaned and brightened deck is the required first step for any successful staining or sealing project.
Safe for All Materials
Whether you have pressure-treated pine, cedar, or modern composite decking, we use the right method for your material.
Our Step-by-Step Process
Material Assessment
We determine the type of wood or composite material to select the appropriate pressure and cleaning agents.
Detergent Application
We apply a specialized wood cleaner that breaks down dirt, mold, and old, failing sealers without damaging the wood fibers.
Low-Pressure Wash
Using low pressure, we wash away the contaminants along the grain of the wood to prevent splintering or furring.
Wood Brightening
A crucial final step for natural wood—we apply a brightener that neutralizes the cleaner and restores the wood's natural pH and color.
The Transformation
An unmaintained deck looks gray, weathered, and often has slippery green algae growing in shaded areas. After our specialized wood cleaning and brightening process, the gray dead fibers are gone, the vibrant natural color of the wood is revealed, and the deck is perfectly prepped for a fresh coat of stain or sealer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will pressure washing splinter my wood deck?
Not when done by professionals. We use low pressure and rely on our cleaning solutions to do the heavy lifting, ensuring your wood is never splintered or damaged.
Do you clean composite decking like Trex?
Yes, composite decks require a specific soft wash approach to remove mold from the textured surface without voiding the manufacturer's warranty. We are experienced in safely cleaning composites.
How long after cleaning can I stain my deck?
Wood needs to be completely dry before staining. Depending on the weather in Rochester, this usually takes 48 to 72 hours of dry, sunny weather after our cleaning.
Do you offer staining services?
Currently, we specialize strictly in the preparation and cleaning phase. We provide the perfect, clean canvas for you or your painting contractor to apply the stain.
