Deep clean, without the damage.
The right pressure and technique wash away dirt, algae, and failed finish — while protecting your wood where a heavy hand would do serious harm.
Not all pressure washing is created equal.
Deck washing is a specialized skill. Using too much pressure, the wrong nozzle, or the wrong angle can permanently damage softwood deck boards. We use the correct pressure, technique, and cleaning agents for your wood so we get the surface clean without harming the wood itself.
Wood-safe pressure
We set the pressure to your wood species and adjust technique board by board, avoiding etching and furring.
Right technique
Consistent distance, angle, and speed deliver a uniform clean across every board and gap.
Built for staining
A proper wash preps the surface so a new stain or sealer can bond evenly and last.
Clean before you stain, every time.
Dirt, algae, mildew, and old failed finishes aren’t just ugly — they stop a new finish from bonding. A proper wash is the foundation of every lasting result:
Removes the barrier
Failed finishes and organic buildup block stain from reaching the wood.
Restores a clean base
Dirt and mildew gone means the surface is ready to accept a protective finish.
Sets up even color
A consistent clean surface absorbs stain evenly, avoiding blotchy results.
A wash alone won’t fix rot, deep structural damage, or every type of discoloration. We’re clear about what cleaning can and can’t do.
Our washing process
Safe, thorough, and built around protecting your wood and property.
Surface assessment
We check wood species, condition, existing coating, and looseness before setting pressure.
Pre-treat where needed
Mildew, algae, and tough buildup may be pre-treated with the appropriate cleaner.
Wash with care
Correct pressure and angle remove buildup without damaging wood fibers.
Rinse thoroughly
We rinse away residue so nothing is left to interfere with a future finish.
Dry before finish
We let the deck dry to the right moisture level before any stain or seal.
Ready for next step
Your clean deck is prepped for protection or ready to enjoy on its own.
