Deck Cleaning in Cumberland, RI

What deck cleaning covers

• Deck boards, including the gaps where debris collects
• Railings, balusters and posts
• Stairs and landings, which are often the slipperiest part
• Green algae, mildew and gray weathering on the surface
• Pollen, leaf stains and general grime

Wood needs a lighter touch

Wood is softer than it looks. A high-pressure stream held too close can raise the grain, leave "wand marks" and make boards fuzzy. Composite decking has its own care needs too. We match pressure and technique to the material and let cleaning solution do the heavy lifting where it makes sense, so the deck gets clean without damage.

Planning to stain or seal it later?

We clean decks; we don't stain, seal or refinish them. If you or a contractor plan to stain or seal yours, a clean surface is the first step, so mention it in your quote request and we'll schedule the cleaning with time for the wood to dry out properly before any coating goes on.

Why decks get slippery here

Shade from surrounding trees, damp spring weather and leaves that sit on the boards in fall create ideal conditions for algae, the slick green film that makes stairs dangerous. Cleaning it off each season, usually in spring, keeps the deck safer for family and guests.
