Deck & Fence Cleaning done right in Durham

Deck and fence cleaning in Durham is a low-pressure job, and that surprises people who have seen the results of a high-pressure one. Wood is soft. Too much pressure raises the grain, furs the surface, and leaves marks that no amount of staining hides.

Composite decking has its own rules. It does not need much pressure at all and the mould that grows in the grain responds to treatment rather than force.

A tired gray deck usually just needs the right clean, not a rebuild. Our low-pressure wash pulls the mildew and weathering off Durham decks and fences and brings the wood color back.

Why Durham calls us

What you get

No splinters or marks

Low pressure cleans the wood without tearing the grain.

Dried properly before any finish

If staining follows, we let the wood dry to the right moisture first.

Composite handled differently

Lower pressure again and a treatment suited to the material.

Treated for mould, not just rinsed

The black spotting in the grain is organic. It needs chemistry.

Low pressure on wood

Enough to clean, not enough to raise the grain or fur the surface.

Pricing

What deck & fence cleaning costs in Durham

Deck and fence cleaning in Durham prices by square footage, with fencing measured by linear feet and height. Railings, balusters, and lattice take disproportionately longer than open decking, because each one is a separate surface to work around.

Questions

Deck & Fence Cleaning in Durham, answered

Should I pressure wash my Durham deck before staining?
Clean it, yes, but with a soft wash, not high pressure. We prep Durham decks so stain goes on evenly and lasts.
Will cleaning damage older wood?
Not with our low-pressure method. We set the pressure to the board condition so old wood stays intact.
Do you stain or seal too?
We clean and prep. Once it is dry we can talk about sealing to protect the finish.
What if I am not happy with the result?
We come back. Every job carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we would rather fix it than have you tell a neighbor we did not.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Usually no. Most exterior work only needs access to an outdoor spigot. We confirm what we need when we schedule.
Local

Why we know Durham

Durham has the oldest housing stock we work on. The neighborhoods around Duke and downtown are painted wood, original brick, and full mature oak canopy, which means shaded walls green up early and gutters fill with more than pine straw. Almost none of it wants pressure. We soft wash the siding, hand-clear the gutters, and keep the wand off anything original.

We have cleaned in Durham for long enough to know the place. the north-west corner of our range, in Durham County, and on our route since 2010.
