Why Deck Maintenance Matters

Over time, decks are exposed to harsh sun, rain, snow, and foot traffic. Regular power washing and staining not only improves appearance but also extends the life of your deck—saving you thousands in premature replacement costs.

Without proper care, wood can:

Power Washing & Cleaning

We start every project with a thorough wash using commercial-grade pressure washers. Our team safely removes:

  • Dirt, grime, and pollen
  • Algae, moss, and mildew
  • Peeling stain or weathered sealant
  • Bird droppings, debris, and surface stains

We adjust pressure based on your deck material (wood, composite, etc.) to avoid damage while achieving a deep clean.

Deck Staining & Sealing
Once your deck is clean and dry, we apply a high-quality stain or sealant to protect and enhance the wood. Options include:

  • Transparent stains (for natural wood look)
  • Semi-transparent or solid color stains
  • UV-blocking and water-repellent finishes
  • Slip-resistant sealants (upon request)

We’ll help you choose the right product based on your style, usage, and exposure to sun or moisture.
