Restores Original Colour
Wood-safe cleaners dissolve the grey oxidised layer, revealing the natural tone underneath rather than sanding it away.

Deck & Fence Cleaning in Jacksonville, FL
Grey, weathered wood is rarely worn out — it is oxidised and covered in algae. Calibrated cleaning brings the original colour back without raising the grain or leaving fuzz.
Wood Needs a Lighter Touch
Wood is soft, and its tolerance changes with age, species and how wet it currently is. Too much pressure tears the surface fibres, leaving a fuzzy texture that traps dirt and drinks stain unevenly. Once wood is furred up the only real fix is sanding.
We test pressure on an inconspicuous section first and work at the lowest setting that actually cleans, combining it with a wood-safe cleaner that lifts the grey oxidation chemically. That combination restores colour without damaging the fibres.
Composite and vinyl are treated differently again — both clean well at low pressure, but composite in particular can be permanently scarred by an aggressive tip. If you are planning to stain or seal afterwards, we will time the clean so the wood has the right moisture content when the finish goes on.
If a deck feels fuzzy after cleaning, it was cleaned too hard. That texture is torn wood fibre, and it will hold dirt worse than before.
Why It Matters
Why Jacksonville Deck & Fence Cleaning Matters
What you actually get from having this done properly, by a Jacksonville crew that does it every day.
No Raised Grain
Pressure is tested and calibrated per surface, so fibres stay intact and the wood does not fur up.
Ready for Stain
A properly cleaned, evenly dried deck takes stain uniformly. We time the work around your finishing schedule.
Extends Timber Life
Algae and mildew retain moisture in the boards, which drives rot. Removing them annually adds years.
Licensed & Insured
Fully licensed and insured for residential work throughout Jacksonville, with certificates available before we begin.
Free On-Site Estimates
We inspect the timber condition in person and quote honestly, including telling you when cleaning will not fix the problem.

The Jacksonville standard. Soft when damp — low pressure only.

How It Works
How an Exterior Clean Works,
Step by Step
From the first walk of the property to the last pass, here is what actually happens and why each step is there.
01
Estimate and Surface Assessment
We look at the property, identify every surface and its condition, and work out the method for each. That includes flagging anything that will not fully come out, before we quote, not after.
02
Protecting Plants, Electrical and Fixtures
Plants and beds get soaked with plain water first, so the first thing they take up is water rather than product, and they get covered on hot days. Outlets, meters and exterior fixtures are taped. This step is the difference between a clean house and a clean house with a dead hedge.
03
Chemical Application and Dwell Time
The cleaning solution goes on at low pressure and is left to work. Dwell time is what actually does the cleaning, and it varies with temperature — the same mix works faster on a warm afternoon than it does in January. Rushing this step is the most common reason a wash comes out patchy.
04
Rinse and Post-Treatment
Everything is rinsed at a pressure appropriate to the surface. On concrete and other flatwork, a light post-treatment goes down afterwards. It is the step you cannot see, and it is why a professionally cleaned driveway stays clean for months rather than weeks.
05
Final Walkthrough
We walk the property with you before we pack up. If something needs another pass, it gets another pass.

FAQ
Deck & Fence Cleaning Questions
The questions Jacksonville homeowners ask us most about this service, answered straight.

Call us or send a message — we will give you a straight answer, whether or not it leads to a booking.
Call NowAlmost always. Grey is usually just oxidation on the top layer, not rot. A wood-safe cleaner dissolves it and reveals the original colour underneath. The exception is wood that has actually begun to rot or split, which cleaning cannot reverse — we will say so when we see it.
Give it 48 to 72 hours of dry weather. Wood needs to return to a normal moisture content or the stain will not penetrate and may peel. In Jacksonville humidity we usually plan for the longer end, and we will tell you when conditions look right.
A single deck or fence run up to about 400 sq ft is typically $179. Deck plus fence line runs around $289. A full clean-and-seal project, which is two visits, is about $649. Size, condition and whether you want a finish applied are the main variables.
Not the way we do it. Composite cleans well at low pressure with the right detergent. It can, however, be permanently scarred by an aggressive tip held too close — which is exactly why we test first and use the lowest effective setting.
