Deck & Fence Cleaning in Western MA & Northern CT
Gray, slick, and green is what happens when wood sits through a few New England winters. Under that layer the wood is usually still good.
Sound Familiar?
- Green mold on the boards and rails
- Gray weathered look on cedar and pressure treated wood
- Slippery steps that are not safe
- Composite decking that looks blotchy
Wood gets soft washed, not blasted. Blasting fuzzes the grain and ruins the boards. Chemistry and patience bring the color back without the damage.

Deck & Fence Cleaning Questions
Can I stain right after?
Wood needs to dry out first, usually a couple days of decent weather. Staining wet wood is a waste of stain.
Will it damage older wood?
Older wood gets less pressure and more dwell time. If a board is rotted I will point it out.
Do you clean composite?
Yes. Composite gets a soft wash that clears the mold without hazing the surface.
