Deck Cleaning from $150–$400 | Wood & composite safe | Brightening & stain prep available

Lowcountry Weather Is Brutal on Outdoor Wood

Between the humidity, UV exposure, salt air, and constant moisture from coastal weather, untreated outdoor wood in the Savannah and Lowcountry area can go from new to gray and slippery in a single season. Mold and algae grow into the grain, making surfaces dangerous and ugly.

We use a three-step process — clean, brighten, protect. The cleaner strips mold, mildew, old stain, and graying. The brightener restores the wood's natural tone and opens the grain. If you're planning to stain, this prep is essential for even absorption and long-lasting results.

What We Clean

  • Pressure-treated pine decks
  • Cedar and redwood
  • Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Azek)
  • Wood and vinyl fences
  • Pergolas, arbors, and gazebos
  • Dock and boardwalk surfaces

Our Process

1

Apply Wood Cleaner

A sodium percarbonate-based cleaner breaks down mildew, algae, graying, and old stain on contact.

2

Agitate & Dwell

We scrub problem areas and let the cleaner dwell to penetrate embedded growth. This does the heavy lifting.

3

Rinse at Controlled Pressure

Low-to-medium pressure with a wide fan tip — enough to clean, not enough to splinter or etch the grain.

4

Brighten

An oxalic acid brightener restores the wood's natural warm tone, neutralizes pH, and opens the grain for stain absorption.

5

Dry & Inspect

We let the deck dry fully (24–48 hours) before staining. We'll flag any boards that need replacement.

Typical Pricing

Small deck (under 200 sq ft)$150–$250

Deck & Fence Cleaning FAQ

How much does deck cleaning cost in Savannah?
Deck cleaning in the Savannah and Lowcountry area typically costs $150–$400 depending on deck size, material, and condition. A standard 200–300 sq ft deck runs $150–$250. Larger decks, multi-level structures, or heavily weathered wood that needs brightening will cost more. We quote exact pricing before work begins.
Can you pressure wash a wood deck without damaging it?
High pressure damages wood by splintering the grain and creating a furry texture. We use controlled low-to-medium pressure with the right tip and technique — enough to clean the wood without etching or raising the grain. For heavily soiled decks, we pre-treat with a wood cleaner that does most of the work so we need less pressure.
What is deck brightening?
After cleaning, wood often looks gray or dull because cleaning raises the pH. A brightener (oxalic acid solution) restores the wood's natural pH and brings back the warm, honey tone. Brightening is essential before applying stain or sealer — it opens the grain and ensures even absorption.
Do I need to stain my deck after cleaning?
Cleaning removes the old stain and protective coating, so yes — bare wood needs protection. In the Lowcountry's humidity and UV exposure, unprotected wood deteriorates quickly. We can recommend staining contractors or discuss sealer options during your estimate.
Do you clean composite decking like Trex?
Yes. Composite decking accumulates mold, mildew, and algae just like wood — especially in the Lowcountry's climate. We use composite-safe cleaning methods with the right solution and pressure to restore the surface without voiding your manufacturer warranty.
