Deck & Fence Cleaning: How to Prevent Wood Rot and Fading

Your outdoor spaces are investments, and like anything exposed to Florida’s intense sun and rain, they need regular maintenance to stay safe and beautiful.

Why Wood Rot Happens
Humidity, rain, and pooling water allow fungi and mildew to break down wood fibers. If your deck or fence has dark spots, soft boards, or smells musty—it may already be starting to rot.

Fading: Not Just Cosmetic
UV exposure causes wood to gray, crack, and lose structural integrity over time. Once the protective layer is gone, water penetrates faster—leading to costly repairs or replacement.

How Pressure Washing Helps:

  • Removes mold, algae, and dirt that retain moisture

  • Prepares surfaces for sealing or staining

  • Keeps your deck or fence looking fresh year-round

  • Helps detect early signs of wear or damage

Maintenance Tip:
Schedule a pressure wash at least once per year, and follow with a wood sealant or stain to prevent further water intrusion and sun damage.

We clean wood, vinyl, composite, and PVC surfaces with pressure levels appropriate for each material. Ask us about deck restoration packages!
