What needs cleaning?

What does deck pressure washing in Green Bay involve?

Wood needs a lighter touch than concrete. Pressure that is too high tears up the soft fibers and leaves a fuzzy, rough surface with raised splinters. We use a wide fan tip, wash with the grain and keep the wand at a safe distance. A cleaner is applied first to loosen mildew, algae and gray weathering. Then the deck is rinsed in sections, with attention to the gaps between boards.

The job usually covers the deck surface, stairs, railings and balusters, and any fence panels you want cleaned. Composite decking is cleaned too, but with different settings. Tell us what your deck is made of, how old it is, and whether it has been stained, painted or left bare. A restorative cleaning is not a repair, and loose boards or popped fasteners still need to be fixed by someone else.

What does a Green Bay winter do to decks and fences?

Snow sits on the boards for weeks. When it melts, water soaks into the wood, then freezes and thaws again through spring. That cycle opens cracks, lifts stain and encourages mildew and algae. In shaded spots the wood stays damp, and the surface goes green and slick. Sun in summer then fades the rest to a silvery gray.

Steps and landings near the door can also pick up deicing salt, which dries on the wood and leaves residue. Fences take the same punishment, and bottom boards, which sit near soil and lawn, often darken first. Freeze-thaw can also loosen fasteners and posts. A good wash shows you which boards are sound and which are failing, so you can plan repairs before the next winter.

What changes the price of cleaning a deck or fence?

Size and detail work drive the price. A small ground-level deck is quick. A multi-level deck with long railings and many balusters takes much longer. These are the main factors:

  • Deck area, number of levels and stair count.
  • Rail style. Spindles and ornate parts take extra time.
  • Wood type and condition, including old stain or peeling paint.
  • Fence length, height and how close plants are to the panels.
  • Access to water and room to work, plus extras like concrete washing on the same visit.

We quote in writing before work starts. Be careful with a very low price for a deck. Quick, harsh washing can leave wood rougher and worse than it was.

A typical deck takes a few hours, and a long fence can add more. Before we arrive, clear furniture, planters and grills from the deck and cover or move plants nearby. We rinse the surrounding plants, apply the cleaner and wash and rinse the wood in sections.

Wood has to dry before you stain or seal. That often means a day or two of dry weather, though the product label has the final word. Humid or cool days take longer. If you plan to stain, tell us when you book, because it affects how we clean and how we time the job. We do not wash when it is close to freezing, and we move the job if rain is likely, so the wood has a chance to dry.

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

Call when the surface is slick, dark or gray, or before you stain or seal. Late spring is a common time, once the wood has dried out from winter. Early fall can also work, if there is time for the wood to dry before the cold sets in. Check stair treads, rail posts and any soft spots first. Rotted wood cannot be cleaned back to health.

If the siding beside the deck looks dingy too, see our house washing page. The home page lists everything we clean around Green Bay, from driveways to commercial lots.

Questions about pressure washing in Green Bay

Can pressure washing damage a wood deck?

Yes, if the pressure is too high or the tip is too narrow. It can gouge the wood, raise the grain and leave a fuzzy surface. We use a wide fan tip, wash with the grain and stay at a distance. Older, soft wood needs even more care, and we will tell you if the boards look too worn.

How long should I wait before staining a cleaned deck?

Often a day or two of dry weather, but it depends on the wood, the humidity and the product you plan to use. Follow the label on your stain or sealer. If the wood still feels damp, wait. Staining over moisture can cause peeling and blotches.

Do you clean composite decking?

Yes. Composite needs a different approach, with lower pressure and a cleaner suited to the material. Mold and mildew can grow on it, especially in shade. Tell us the brand if you know it, because some makers have cleaning advice that we should follow.

Will washing remove old stain or peeling paint?

It can loosen failing finish, but it is not a stripping service. Washing may leave patchy areas where old stain remains. If you want an even look, plan on sanding or stripping before you refinish. We will explain what your deck needs when we see it.

Do you wash wood fences too?

Yes. Fences are cleaned the same careful way as decks, panel by panel. Privacy fences with tight boards and tall runs take more time. Tell us the length and height, and whether plants or shrubs grow right up to it.
