Wood Surface Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Wood surfaces throughout Northwest homes turn gray and grow mildew under the persistent damp, but high pressure on wood raises the grain and causes splintering. We clean wood with a soft-wash method and wood-appropriate solutions that lift mildew and surface graying gently. This preserves the integrity of the boards while restoring a cleaner, more even tone. Clean, sound wood is also the necessary starting point before any sealing or staining is applied.
