Wood Done Right

We're Specialists in Cleaning Wood

Wood is not siding, and it is not concrete. It needs its own approach. The wrong chemicals or too much pressure destroys wood fibers — it raises the grain badly, causes fuzzing, and on older boards it can split the wood outright.

Most companies point a pressure washer at a deck and call it clean. What you're actually left with is a furry, gouged surface that won't take stain properly and ages faster from that point on. We do the opposite: wood-specific cleaning solutions and the correct low pressure, so the surface comes out clean, smooth, and ready for whatever comes next.

After 7 years working on decks, fences, and docks around the Greers Ferry Lake area, we know exactly which chemistry belongs on which surface — and just as importantly, which chemicals should never go near oxidized siding or painted surfaces.

What We Clean

Wood Surfaces We Restore

From backyard fences to lakeside dock structures, we clean the wood around your property without the damage that comes from doing it wrong.

Decks

Algae, mildew, and gray UV buildup removed without raising or fuzzing the grain — left clean and ready to stain.

Fences

Privacy fences and split-rail alike — green algae and mildew stripped off, brightening weathered wood back up.

Pergolas

Overhead wood structures cleaned safely, including the hard-to-reach top surfaces that collect the most growth.

Dock Structures

Greers Ferry Lake docks take a beating — we clean decking, railings, and framing where algae and tannin staining build up.

Wood Siding

Natural wood siding cleaned with the right solution and pressure so it never gets the gouged, fuzzy look.

Shake Siding

Cedar shake and shingle siding cleaned carefully — these surfaces are easy to ruin and we treat them accordingly.

Built for Lake Homes

Decks & Docks on Greers Ferry Lake

Lakeside wood takes serious punishment. Constant moisture feeds algae and mildew, the water leaves tannin staining, and relentless sun grays the wood out. A deck or dock on Greers Ferry Lake ages far faster than one sitting in a dry backyard.

This is exactly where we specialize. We've cleaned countless decks and dock structures around the lake, and we know the specific buildup these surfaces get — green algae on the shaded north sides, slick mildew near the waterline, and that flat gray tone from UV exposure on everything facing the open water.

Cleaning it correctly doesn't just make it look better — it removes the organic growth that holds moisture against the wood and shortens its life. Clean wood is wood that lasts longer.

Before You Stain

The Clean Decides the Stain

If you're planning to stain or seal, the cleaning step matters more than the stain itself.

A proper clean does two things: it opens the wood grain so the stain can actually soak in, and it removes every bit of previous contamination — old gray fibers, mildew, dirt, and any failing finish. Stain is designed to penetrate clean, open wood. It cannot bond to a surface still coated in grime or sealed up with weathered buildup.

This is why a bad clean leads to stain that fails in a single season. The color goes on looking fine, then peels, blotches, or washes out by the next summer because it never had clean wood to grip. When we clean a deck for staining, we prepare it so the stain penetrates evenly and lasts the way it's supposed to. Skip this step or do it wrong, and you're paying to redo the whole project a year early.

A Detail Most Companies Miss

Wood deck cleaners are oxalic acid-based — powerful and genuinely effective on wood. But that same chemistry can permanently damage or streak oxidized aluminum siding and painted surfaces if overspray drifts onto them. We've seen the etched, blotchy marks left behind when someone cleans a deck without thinking about what's beside it.

We always mask off and protect anything at risk before the deck cleaner ever comes out. Knowing which chemical belongs on which surface — and what it will ruin if it lands in the wrong place — is the difference between a clean deck and a damaged house. This is the kind of detail we don't cut corners on.

Common Questions

Deck & Fence Cleaning FAQ

Will pressure washing damage my deck?

It can — and it often does when done wrong. Too much pressure on wood raises the grain, causes fuzzing, and can split older boards. We use the correct low pressure paired with wood-specific cleaning solutions, so the wood comes out clean and smooth rather than gouged and furry.

Do I need to clean my deck before staining?

Yes, and it's the most important step. A proper clean opens the grain and removes old contamination so the stain can penetrate and bond. Staining over a poorly cleaned surface is the number one reason a stain job fails within a season.

Can you clean my dock on Greers Ferry Lake?

Absolutely — lakeside decks and docks are one of our specialties. They get heavy algae, mildew, tannin staining, and UV graying from sitting over the water, and we clean all of it safely without harming the wood.

What about the siding right next to my deck?

This is exactly why technique matters. The oxalic acid-based cleaners used on wood can streak or damage oxidized aluminum siding and painted surfaces. We mask off and protect anything at risk before we start, so your deck gets clean and your house stays untouched.
