Fence Stain Facts
Staining your fence is not just about enhancing its appearance but also about protecting it from the elements. A high-quality stain helps to prevent weather-related damage, including warping, cracking, and fading caused by exposure to sun, rain, and wind. There are various types of stains available, from transparent options that showcase the natural beauty of the wood, to semi-transparent stains that offer a subtle tint while allowing the wood grain to show through. For more protection and a solid color finish, opaque stains are a popular choice, giving fences a painted look with enhanced durability. Fence stains come in a variety of shades, from natural wood tones to deeper, more modern colors. By applying a stain, you're extending the lifespan of your fence, protecting it against UV rays, moisture, and mildew, all while boosting its overall curb appeal. Regular staining not only adds beauty but also helps your fence resist cracking, splitting, and decay, making it a crucial step in maintaining the long-term health of your fence.

Deck Stain Facts
Staining and sealing your deck is essential for maintaining its beauty and prolonging its life, especially in the face of daily wear and tear. Over time, exposure to foot traffic, weather elements, and UV rays can lead to fading, splintering, and even structural damage. Applying a high-quality stain not only enhances the natural grain of the wood but also creates a protective barrier against moisture, dirt, and grime. There are several options available, including transparent stains that allow the wood's character to shine through, semi-transparent stains that add a touch of color while still showcasing the texture, and solid stains that provide a vibrant finish with superior protection. Sealing your deck is equally crucial, as it locks in the stain while offering additional resistance to water, mildew, and rot. This combination of staining and sealing helps to prevent the common issues associated with wear and tear, such as cracking and warping. With a variety of colors and finishes to choose from, you can customize the look of your deck while ensuring it remains a safe and inviting space for years to come. Regular maintenance through staining and sealing not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your deck but also significantly extends its lifespan.

Fence and Deck Cleaning
Maintaining the cleanliness of your fence is essential for its longevity and visual appeal, and using a pressure washer or soft washing system is one of the most effective ways to achieve this. Before we begin, our team takes great care in preparing your property to ensure the safety of your grass and home. This includes thoroughly inspecting the area around the fence, covering any nearby plants or delicate features, and ensuring that water runoff is directed away from your home’s foundation to prevent any potential water damage.
Once everything is set up, we employ a soft washing system for delicate surfaces and a pressure washer for sturdier materials. Soft washing uses a low-pressure spray combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to gently remove dirt, mold, mildew, and algae without damaging the wood or finish of your fence. This method is ideal for vinyl, painted wood, or composite fences, ensuring a thorough clean while preserving the integrity of the materials. For tougher, more resilient surfaces like chain link or metal fencing, we use a pressure washer to blast away years of buildup and grime, leaving your fence looking fresh and vibrant.
Additionally, cleaning your fence is a crucial step in preparing for staining or sealing a fence or deck. A clean surface allows the stain or sealant to adhere better, ensuring an even finish and enhancing the protective qualities of the product.
The benefits of cleaning your fence with pressure washing or soft washing are substantial. Regular cleaning prevents the growth of harmful mold and mildew, which can deteriorate the material and lead to costly repairs. It enhances the overall appearance of your property, making your fence look new and inviting. Additionally, a clean fence can improve your home’s curb appeal and potentially increase its value. By investing in our fence cleaning services, you’re not just maintaining your fence; you’re extending its lifespan and ensuring it remains a stunning feature of your outdoor space for years to come.
