Residential Soft Washing
A clean deck against dingy siding looks half-finished. Low-pressure soft washing brings the house up to match, same visit.
House soft washingWood, composite, and stone — each washed its own way
Deck & patio washing
That gray on the boards isn’t the wood’s age — it’s buildup, and it comes off. We wash wood and composite decks, patios, and fences clean of gray buildup, mildew, and grime without damaging the surface.
What we wash
Everything between the back door and the fence line
The living space outside the house collects the same growth as the siding — it just shows it faster underfoot.
Decks and patios sit flat, hold moisture, and live in the shade of the house — which is why they gray out and grow mildew years before the siding does. We take wood and composite decking, patio surfaces, and fences back to clean, with the method matched to the material rather than one pressure for everything.
It pairs naturally with a house soft wash — same visit, same crew — and if the patio is concrete with oil or rust stains, concrete cleaning and rust removal are on the same truck. The standard is the one you can inspect in our before & after gallery.

How we do it
Gentle on the boards, thorough on the buildup
-
Look and quote
We check the material — wood, composite, stone, or concrete — note the problem spots, and quote the job free within 24 hours.
-
Wash to the material
Decking gets low pressure with eco-friendly cleaning solutions doing the work; hard patio surfaces can take more. The buildup lifts off instead of being ground in.
-
Rinse and walk-through
We rinse everything down, check railings and corners, and walk the result with you before we leave. 100% satisfaction is the standard.
Why not just blast it? High pressure splinters wood grain and etches composite — a deck is closer to siding than to a driveway, and it gets treated that way. The pressure stays low where the surface needs gentle.
Honest pricing
What affects the price
A deck quote comes down to things you can measure from the back porch.
- Square footage — a small landing and a full wraparound deck with a fence run are different jobs.
- Material — wood, composite, and stone each take their own method and their own care.
- How far gone it is — a yearly refresh costs less than lifting several summers of gray buildup.
- Combining services — adding the deck to a house wash or driveway job shares the trip.

Common questions
Deck & patio questions
Do you wash composite decking or just wood?
Both. We wash wood and composite decks, plus patios and fences, with the method matched to the material so the surface is never damaged.
Will washing damage my deck boards?
Not the way we do it. Blasting decking with high pressure is how boards get splintered and etched, so we keep the pressure low and let eco-friendly cleaning solutions do the work — the same principle as our house soft washing.
Do you clean fences too?
Yes — wood and composite fences get the same treatment as decks, and they’re easy to add to a deck, patio, or house wash on the same visit.
Can you wash the deck and the house in one visit?
Yes. Deck and patio washing pairs naturally with a house soft wash — same visit, same crew — and quoting both at once costs you nothing extra.
Do discounts apply to deck and patio washing?
Yes. Seniors save 15% and military personnel save 15%, combinable for up to 30% off, and disabled combat veterans may qualify for free service on up to 2,500 sq ft. See how the discounts work.
