Jacksonville's combination of heat, humidity, and afternoon rain creates ideal conditions for mildew, mold, and algae to colonize wood and composite surfaces. Left untreated, wood turns gray and eventually begins to soften. A proper wood wash uses lower pressure than concrete cleaning and a pH-appropriate wood cleaner that opens the grain, removes mildew, and brightens the surface — a necessary step before any staining or sealing that follows.
Residential decks $150–$300; fence runs $100–$200; combos $250–$450.
What the crew does
- Wood-safe detergent pre-soak to break down mildew and organic buildup
- Low-pressure wash calibrated to wood species and board condition
- Post-wash wood brightener (oxalic acid rinse) to neutralize pH and restore color
- Deck boards, railings, posts, and understructure cleaned
- Fence rails, pickets, and posts cleaned on both sides
Common situations we're called for
- Wood deck turned gray and slippery and needs cleaning before a DIY staining weekend
- Green mildew film covering the shaded side of the privacy fence under the neighbor's trees
- Cookout planned and the deck boards look blotchy and dark around where the grill sits
- Bought a house with a pergola that clearly has not been cleaned in years
- Composite deck has dark mold spots that the spray-on deck cleaner from the hardware store never touched
Outside our scope
- Deck repair, board replacement, or railing work — washing only; structural fixes are a carpenter's job
- Staining or sealing the wood — the wash is the prep step, not the finish coat; finishing is a separate scope
- Fence installation or resetting leaning posts — existing fences get cleaned, not rebuilt
Fence & Deck Washing — common questions
How much does deck or fence washing cost?
Residential decks typically run $150–$300 for a standard 200–400 sq ft deck. Fence cleaning is priced by linear footage and runs $100–$200 for most residential runs. Combined deck and fence quotes range $250–$450.
Is pressure washing safe for wood decks?
At the correct pressure and nozzle distance, yes — but wood requires significantly lower pressure than concrete. Too much pressure or too close a nozzle raises the grain and causes furring damage. The provider calibrates equipment specifically for wood surfaces.
How often should a wood deck be washed in Florida?
Once a year is a reasonable starting point for most Jacksonville decks. Decks under tree canopy may need washing twice a year given accelerated mildew growth in persistently damp microclimates.
