Fence Cleaning
Wood, vinyl, and composite fences cleaned at the right pressure. Gray oxidation off the boards, green algae off the panels, and the plants along the fence line kept safe.

Low pressure on wood. The right detergent on vinyl.
A wood fence turns gray for the same reason a deck does: UV oxidation and mildew working on the surface. High pressure strips that layer by chewing up the wood fibers with it. We use a sodium percarbonate wood brightener at low pressure instead, so the gray lifts off and the grain stays smooth. If you plan to stain or seal afterward, this is the prep your finisher wants.
Vinyl fences have the opposite problem. The green film is algae, and it wipes off with the right soft wash detergent at garden-hose pressure. No forced water in the seams, no streaked panels, no caps knocked loose.
Fences we clean.
We match the method to the material, brightener for wood, soft wash for vinyl and composite.
- Pressure-treated pine, brightens dramatically
- Cedar fencing, cleaner matched to cedar's natural oils
- Vinyl and PVC fencing, soft washed panel by panel
- Composite fencing, composite-safe detergent
- Painted and stained fences, test patch first, gentle method
- Both sides cleaned, gates and hardware rinsed
- Plants and beds along the fence line pre-rinsed and protected
Staining and sealing aren't included, but we'll time the cleaning so your stainer can follow right behind us.

FAQs
Common questions about cleaning wood, vinyl, and composite fences. Don't see yours? Text us a photo.
Soft washing uses low water pressure (about the same as your garden hose) and a biodegradable detergent, the chemistry does the cleaning. Pressure washing uses high water pressure with no detergent. Soft wash for siding, roofs, painted surfaces, and anything porous. Pressure wash for concrete driveways, brick pavers, and stone. We pick the right method per surface.
Pricing is based on linear footage, the fence material, and how much gray oxidation or green algae has built up. The cleanest way to get a number is to text us a few photos and the approximate length, and we'll send a flat quote, usually within an hour.
Yes. Detergents are biodegradable and rinse out at low concentration. We wet down landscaping before applying anything and rinse again when we finish. We've never lost a plant. Tell us about anything specific you're worried about when you book.
Yes. We clean wood, vinyl, composite, and aluminum fencing. Each material gets a different approach: low pressure and the right detergent on wood so we don't fuzz the grain, and a detergent soft wash on vinyl and composite to lift algae without etching the surface.
It depends on the material. Wood and vinyl are cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash, the detergent does the work, so we don't gouge boards or drive water behind panels. Heavier buildup on composite or aluminum may take a controlled pressure rinse. We match the method to the surface.
No. Our detergents are biodegradable and we wet down the plants and grass along the fence line before we start, then rinse again when we finish. Let us know about anything delicate near the fence when you book and we'll take extra care around it.
