Dirt builds up fast on fences, especially with all the pollen and dust floating around in the Tampa area. This can cloud up the view and give your outdoor space a less-than-ideal look. Hire our team to pressure clean your fencing to perfection! We have the specialized equipment and processes to get your fence looking brand new again while preventing any damage or scratching.


Keeping your fences clean is essential to prevent structural damage from mold, mildew, and rot, significantly extending their lifespan and saving on costly repairs. Regular cleaning removes dirt and debris, maintains your home's curb appeal, and prepares surfaces for sealing or painting.



Key Reasons to Keep Fences Clean:

  • Prevents Structural Damage: Wood is porous and absorbs moisture, dirt, and mold, which leads to rotting, warping, or cracking. For metal fences, removing buildup prevents rust and corrosion.

  • Extends Lifespan: Regular cleaning (ideally every 6–12 months for wood) keeps the material strong and prevents the need for early replacement.

  • Enhances Curb Appeal: A clean, well-maintained fence boosts the overall appearance and value of your property.

  • Preps for Maintenance: Cleaning is a necessary first step before staining or sealing, ensuring the products adhere properly and do not peel.

  • Removes Hazardous Growth: It eliminates mold, algae, and mildew that can eat away at the material. 


Tips for Proper Maintenance:

  • Use Gentle Methods: Avoid high-pressure washing on wood to prevent damage to the fibers. Use a 30-second cleaner and a soft brush instead.

  • Clean in Spring: Cleaning in spring allows you to remove grime accumulated over winter and prepares the fence for summer stains or sealants.

  • Address Specific Materials: While wood requires consistent care, vinyl fences only need periodic cleaning to remove surface dirt.

  • Use Wood Brightener: Applying oxalic acid after cleaning can remove stains and brighten wood.
