Decks, fences, pergolas. We clean, brighten, and prep the surface so stain actually penetrates — not just sits on top and peels off a season later.
Deck clean from $70 · quote in 24 hrsWood restoration is two chemicals, not one. The first is a cleaner that lifts dirt, mildew, and grey UV damage. The second is a brightener — a pH-balancing wash that opens the wood pores back up so stain actually soaks in. Most contractors skip step two; that's why their stain jobs peel in 18 months. We don't skip it. By the time we leave, your deck is ready for the stain crew (yours or one we coordinate with).
Furniture moved or covered. Plants protected. Loose dirt blown off. We check for damaged boards before we wet anything.
Low-pressure cleaner lifts grey, mildew, and ground-in grime. Dwells, then rinses with the grain.
pH-balancing brightener opens the wood pores. This is the step everyone skips. We don't.
48 hours of dry time, then it's stain-ready. We can coordinate with your stain crew or recommend one we trust.
Cleaner + brightener. The brightener is the difference between stain that lasts 5 years and stain that peels in 18 months.
No surface-cleaner machines on wood. Low-pressure rinse with the grain, every time. Grain stays sharp, splinters don't form.
If a board is rotted or cupped, you'll hear that during the walk-around. We won't waste your money washing a deck that needs boards replaced first.
We clean, brighten, and prep — the deck is ready for stain. We don't apply finish coats ourselves, but we coordinate with a stain crew if you'd like a one-call solution.
Cleaning removes dirt, mildew, and old grey-out. Brightening is a second pH-balancing step that opens the wood's pores so stain actually penetrates instead of just sitting on top. Skip it and your stain peels in 18 months.
Not when done right. We use low-pressure cleaning and wood-safe surfactants — never the high-PSI surface cleaner we use on concrete. Aggressive pressure tears wood grain; gentle chemistry doesn't.
Usually, yes. Grey is sun-damaged surface fiber. Cleaning and brightening pulls it back to natural wood color. If the wood is rotted or cupped, we'll be honest about it during the walk-around.
