Wood decks and fences are beautiful additions to any home, offering outdoor living space and privacy while enhancing overall aesthetics. However, exposure to the elements can lead to dirt, mold, mildew, and algae buildup, compromising both appearance and structural integrity. Regular cleaning is essential to preserve the wood and prevent deterioration.

 

Key Benefits of Regular Wood Deck and Fence Cleaning

 

1. Prolonged Durability: Regular cleaning removes harmful substances that can degrade wood, such as mold and mildew, extending the lifespan of your deck and fence.

 

2. Enhanced Appearance: A clean deck and fence dramatically improve the overall look of your property, maintaining its fresh and inviting appearance.

 

3. Safety: Removing slime, algae, and mold minimizes the risk of slips and falls, ensuring your deck remains a safe place for family and guests.

 

4. Prevention of Costly Repairs: By addressing early signs of wear and preventing further damage, regular cleaning can save you from expensive repairs or replacements.

 

5. Protection from Wood Rot: Keeping wood clean and applying protective sealants as needed prevent rotting, which can compromise structural integrity.

 

Our Wood Deck and Fence Cleaning Process

4. Rinsing: Following the application of our cleaning solutions, we thoroughly rinse the wood surfaces, ensuring no residue is left behind.

 

5. Condition Check and Preservation: Guidance: Post-cleaning, we perform another inspection to assess the wood's condition. If needed, we can suggest sealant application to further protect your deck and fence from environmental damage.

 

6. Maintenance Advice: Our team provides valuable insights into routine maintenance tips to keep your wood surfaces in top-notch condition all year long.

 

Common Problems from Neglect and Their Solutions

 

Discoloration and Graying: UV rays and environmental factors cause wood to grey over time. Regular cleaning and sealing help restore its natural color and protect against sun damage.

 

Mold and Mildew Growth: Moist environments foster mold and mildew, which accelerate wood decay. Regular washing minimizes their growth, protecting the wood's structural integrity.

 

Rot and Splintering:  Accumulation of moisture and debris can lead to wood rot and splintering. Frequent cleaning followed by sealing when necessary prevents these issues.

 

Insect Infestation: Dirty, neglected wood is more susceptible to pests. Keeping wood surfaces clean deters insects and safeguards your investment.
