Cleaning your deck in the spring or early summer is optimal. This period ensures that your deck is free from the debris and damage that can accumulate over winter, preparing it for peak usage during the warmer months. Additionally, cleaning during this time helps to identify and address any repairs needed before they worsen with summer activities or further exposure to elements.

The frequency of deck cleaning largely depends on your deck's exposure to elements and foot traffic. Generally, an annual cleaning is sufficient for most decks to remove accumulated dirt, algae, and mildew, which can degrade the wood and stain its surface. Decks in areas with high humidity or under heavy tree canopy might need cleaning twice a year to combat faster growth of mold and mildew.

While professional deck cleaning can remove the majority of common stains, including organic growths like mold and mildew, and inorganic stains from rust or spilled substances, some deeply embedded stains may not be fully removable. However, our team employs a variety of techniques, including specialized cleaning agents and pressure washing, to significantly reduce or eliminate most stains, restoring your deck as close to its original condition as possible.

Pressure washing, when performed by professionals, is safe for most deck materials, including wood, composite, and vinyl. Our team is trained to select the appropriate pressure settings and cleaning solutions for different types of decking material to ensure thorough cleaning without damage. Incorrect use of a pressure washer can etch wood and composite materials, so professional service is crucial to avoid harming your deck.

Our deck cleaning process is designed with the safety of your surrounding landscaping in mind. We use environmentally friendly cleaning solutions that are tough on dirt and mildew but gentle on plants and grass. Additionally, we take care to cover or rinse vegetation before and after cleaning to protect them from any overspray or runoff, ensuring that your garden remains as vibrant and healthy as your newly cleaned deck.
