Wood Fence Washing

What This Service Involves

Standard wood fences soak up moisture through every dog-eared picket, and in our climate that means algae on the shady side and dark streaks running down from the rails. We dial the pressure back and let the cleaning solution do the heavy lifting so the grain stays smooth rather than furred. Attention goes to the bottom rails and post bases where splashback and ground moisture leave the worst staining. When we finish, the whole fence reads one consistent color instead of a patchwork of clean and dirty boards.
