Deck and Fence Cleaning
Is your once beautiful deck starting to look dirty? We can Help!
We will make your deck look as good as new!
Is algae taking over and causing it to be a hazardous slipping slide?
Your deck is actually not dirty, it’s infected with microorganisms like bacteria, algae, mold, fungi and lichen. These microorganisms shorten the lifespan of your deck surfaces by decomposing the material itself. Sanitizing these surfaces can provide you a truly clean exterior.
Surfaces around the exterior of homes accumulate algae and mold growth over time, creating unsightly black and green streaks and stains. Rain and salt can eat through the wood and cause your deck to deteriorate, so it’s important to keep it clean. However, the true danger lurks beneath the surface. Algae and mold feed off the wood and quickly deteriorate it if left untreated. As a result, you will be faced with a costly repair or replacement project if you don’t have the services of professional cleaners to handle deck and fence washing for preventative maintenance.
However, foot traffic, weather, and our humid Florida summers all combine to create harmful and unsightly stains on the decks and fences. Fortunately, there’s a way to curb this threat with the best deck & fence cleaning!
Algae Growth
The King of Slip And Fall
Algae growth on decks or steps: green or sometimes black algae grows readily on wood, concrete, or stone surfaces in most climates, particularly where those surfaces are repeatedly wet and especially if the surface is also shaded.
Algae growth (green, brown, black) on a wood walking surface such as a stair, ramp, or deck may feel and look pretty harmless when it’s dry (photo at left). But when there is even a modest level of dew, or water the surface can become more slippery than teflon.
Moss and algae growth can be detrimental to the integrity of your deck if left untreated. It can also be slippery in damp conditions. And because moss and algae can spread and multiply very quickly, it’s vital to get rid of it at the first sign of growth.
The main catalyst of moss and algae growth is the accumulation of leaves and debris on your deck, which will build up and retain moisture, especially after storms and inclement weather. This trapped moisture begins to spawn mold, mildew, moss, and algae – and the damper and darker the environment – for example, if your deck has natural shade or cover from trees – the more fertile the breeding ground.
If left untreated, your deck will not only look unsightly, it could pose a slipping hazard for your family and guests. Just as bad, that retained moisture will slowly begin to penetrate into the wood, causing cracks, splinters and ultimately, wood rot. And while less prone to wood rot, composite decking isn’t immune to the hazards of moss and algae; it can be as slippery and dangerous as a wood deck if moss and algae are left unchecked.
Don’t let debris build up on your deck in the first place. Keep it swept clean and make a point to regularly clear out any debris from cracks or gaps. Keep the surface as dry and openly exposed as possible to prevent moisture retention, bacterial growth and more
Fence Cleaning
Are your fences looking less than great?
Fences, like any part of your home’s exterior, aren’t immune to heat and humidity we experience most of the year in Florida, and over time they attract algae, mildew, grime, and other nasty messes. A dirty fence can make your yard feel less welcoming and age the appearance of your property overall.
If left long enough, these can cause permanent stains and even eat away at your fencing. Add on some bugs, dirt, grass clippings, and some of the other messes you’d find out in your yard, and you’ve got a perfect recipe for one messy fence!

Wood Cleaning
Wooden decking has become hugely popular over the years as it is good for entertaining and using your outdoor space. The trouble is wet decking can become infected with slippery algae, mold, black spores and fungi and becomes treacherous underfoot, not to mention unsightly!
Most people resort to pressure washing. It won’t last and will cause damage to your decking as the water can penetrate beneath the surface, leaving damp behind.
Soft Washing

Giving Soft Wash Re-Treatment
Your exterior surfaces should not require re-treating for several months after being cleaned.
The time after which treatment will become necessary is far greater, although because of the numerous variable factors it is impossible to quote a definite period. The exact time-scale depends on the type of surface, the local environment, the care that your customer takes of their property, and the proximity of trees, bushes, plant pots, etc.
