Handrail Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Handrails are gripped constantly yet exposed to every drop of Northwest rain, so they collect a sticky film, algae, and oxidation along their length. Our team cleans metal, wood, and vinyl rails to lift buildup from the top, underside, and every baluster connection. We detail the grip surfaces where hands make contact and the joints where debris settles. Clean rails feel better to hold and sharpen the look of stairs, porches, and ramps.
