Pressure-Treated Deck Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Pressure-treated lumber resists rot but still greys and grows algae across Washington's long wet season. We soft wash the boards with a wood cleaner that lifts the biological layer and surface greying without tearing up the soft fibers. A brightening step then evens the tone and opens the grain for a fresh coat of stain or sealer. The deck ends up clean, uniform, and prepared to take a finish that actually lasts.

Benefits
