Jacksonville's humidity accelerates wood decay, turning once-vibrant decks gray and promoting dangerous mold growth between boards. Our deck cleaning service removes years of embedded dirt while preserving structural integrity.
We treat each material appropriately: pressure-treated pine common in 1990s builds receives different care than modern composite materials or historic heart pine found in Riverside renovations. For pool decks, we use non-slip formulations that maintain traction when wet.
The service includes checking for loose fasteners and protruding nails - common issues after Jacksonville's freeze/thaw cycles. We can apply transparent water repellents upon request, providing crucial protection before rainy season. For fences, we pay special attention to ground-contact areas where termite activity is prevalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will cleaning make my older deck look new again?
While we can't reverse all weathering, most Jacksonville decks regain 80-90% of their original appearance. Severely grayed wood may require light sanding after cleaning.
How soon can I use my deck after cleaning?
Decks are typically dry within 24 hours in Jacksonville's climate. We recommend waiting 48 hours before applying any stains or sealers.
