What needs cleaning?

What does deck pressure washing in Orlando involve?

Wood is softer than concrete and easy to damage. Deck pressure washing in Orlando therefore uses lower pressure, a wide fan tip and a cleaning solution that kills mildew and algae so the water does not have to do all the work. The aim is to clean the surface and open the grain, not to carve into it.

We wet the wood and nearby plants, apply the solution, let it work, gently scrub where needed and rinse along the grain. Fence panels, rails, posts and deck boards, steps and railings are all treated this way.

Some owners also want the wood brightened or sealed afterwards. Ask whether that can be included, and treat it as a separate item with its own written scope. Wood needs to dry before any stain or sealer goes on.

Why do wood decks and fences turn green and gray in Orlando?

Florida heat, humidity and rain keep wood damp for long periods. Algae and mildew grow on the surface, leaving green and black patches, especially on shaded boards and fence panels that face north. Sun and rain also turn untreated wood silver-gray, which is a natural weathering process and not always a sign of rot.

Sprinkler overspray adds to the problem and iron-rich irrigation water can leave orange marks on boards. Leaves, pollen and mud sit between boards and hold moisture.

Pressure-treated pine, cedar and composite decking all behave differently. Composite can usually take a gentle wash but can trap mildew in its textured surface. Tell us what your deck is made of, because it changes the method.

What changes the price of cleaning a deck or fence?

We give a written quote after we know the details. The biggest factors are:

  • Area. Square footage of deck boards, or length and height of fence.
  • Material. Wood species, age and whether it is already sealed or stained.
  • Condition. Heavy mildew, peeling stain and gray weathering take more time.
  • Access. Fences against walls or plants and decks with railings or tight steps are slower to clean.
  • Extras. Sanding, staining and sealing are separate work.

For a full outdoor refresh, you might add driveway cleaning or house washing to the same visit. See the home page for the other services.

A small deck or a short fence run can be done in a couple of hours. Larger decks, long fence lines and several surfaces can take most of a day. We do not promise a fixed window before seeing the job.

You can help by moving furniture, grills and planters before we arrive. Let us know about loose boards, popped nails, splinters and old stain. Damaged boards should be repaired by a carpenter, since high pressure can make them worse.

Wood may look darker and fuzzy right after washing. It needs a day or more to dry fully in Florida humidity. If you plan to stain or seal, wait until the moisture level is right, and follow the product instructions.

When should you call, and what should you check first?

Call when the surface turns slippery, when green or black growth spreads, or when the wood looks gray and tired. A slick deck is a slip hazard, especially near a pool or the back door.

Check the structure before cleaning. Soft or spongy boards, wobbly posts, termite damage and rotted rails are repair jobs, not cleaning jobs. A fence that leans after a storm should be assessed by a fence or carpentry contractor first.

If you live in an HOA community, your deed restrictions may set rules for fence color and stain. Check before changing the look of the wood. Many people clean first, then decide whether to stain.

Questions about pressure washing in Orlando

Will pressure washing damage my wood deck or fence?

It can if the pressure is too high or the tip is held too close. Wood fibers tear, leaving fuzzy, gouged surfaces. Using lower pressure, a wide tip and a cleaning solution gives a safer result. Tell us if the wood is old or soft, because we will adjust. Weak boards may need repair first.

Can you clean composite decking?

Usually yes, with gentle pressure and the right solution. Composite can hold mildew in its textured surface, and some boards are damaged by strong pressure. Tell us the brand or type if you know it, and check the manufacturer's cleaning advice, especially if the deck is under warranty.

Should I stain or seal after washing?

That is your decision, and often a good one for bare wood. Staining or sealing helps slow mildew and weathering, but the wood must be fully dry first. In Orlando humidity that can take a day or more. Ask whether sealing is part of the quote or a separate job, and get it in writing.

Why did my fence turn gray after cleaning?

Gray is the natural color of weathered wood. Cleaning removes algae and dirt and can reveal the gray beneath, or brighten the boards if the wood is in good shape. Whether it looks warm or silver depends on the wood and age. A stain or sealer can add color back afterwards if you want it.

How often should I clean a deck or fence in Orlando?

Many owners clean once a year, more often in shade or near sprinklers. Clean when you see green or black growth or when boards feel slippery. A sealed deck usually stays cleaner and is easier to wash. Keeping sprinklers off the wood and clearing leaves between boards helps a lot.
