Deck Pressure Washing & Cleaning in Lexington, Columbia & Lake Murray

Decks stay damp, shaded and covered in pollen and leaves, so they turn gray, green and slick faster than almost anything else on your property. We clean wood, composite and painted decks gently so they look good and feel safer underfoot.

Who This Is For

  • Homeowners with gray, weathered or slippery decks
  • Lake homes with shaded or waterside decks and railings
  • Anyone preparing a deck for staining, a party or a sale
  • Restaurants, apartments and offices with outdoor seating or balconies

How It Works

  1. We look at the material, the condition of the wood and any problem spots.
  2. We protect plants and wet the surrounding area.
  3. We apply a cleaning solution and clean with low pressure that suits the wood.
  4. We rinse thoroughly and go over the deck with you.

Residential & Commercial

For homes

We clean deck boards, railings, steps and benches, plus the surrounding patio or walkway when you want it all done in one visit.

For businesses

Patios, outdoor dining decks and shared balconies collect grime and get heavy use. We can clean them on a schedule that works for your business.

Why we go easy on wood

Wood fibers are soft. High pressure can raise splinters, leave a fuzzy surface and carve lines into the boards. A cleaning solution loosens algae and grime so we can rinse them away with much less force.

Composite and painted decks have their own limits. Tell us what you have and we will adjust.

What cleaning can and cannot fix

Cleaning removes algae, mildew, pollen and surface grime, and it often brings back a lot of color. It cannot repair rot, loose boards or failed stain or paint. If we see problems like that, we will tell you before we start.

If you plan to stain or seal afterward, ask us about timing, and follow the instructions for your product, since wood needs to dry first.

Deck Cleaning FAQs

Will cleaning change the color of my deck?

Most decks look brighter after cleaning because gray and green buildup comes off. Results vary with the age and condition of the wood.

Do you stain or seal decks?

We focus on cleaning. If you want staining or sealing, ask us and we will tell you what we can do or point you toward someone who can.

How soon can I use my deck?

Usually the same day once the surface is dry. We will tell you if anything needs more time.

Can you clean composite decking?

Often yes. Let us know the brand and condition when you request a quote.
