Deck Cleaning in Winston-Salem, NC

Deck cleaning and restoration across Winston-Salem, NC, removing mold, algae and gray weathering. Three jobs on record.

Getting the gray out

Decks in Winston-Salem go gray from sun and hold mold and algae in the grain from the humidity. Wood will not take high pressure without furring the surface and gouging the soft grain, so we clean decks with a wood-safe solution and low pressure, then rinse. The gray lifts, the boards come back to color, and the surface is left ready for stain if you want it.

What is included

Deck boards, rails, spindles, steps and the framing you can see from below. Furniture and planters moved and put back. Plantings around the deck wet down before and after.

Composite decks

Composite boards do not go gray the way wood does, but they hold a film of mold in the grain pattern and around the fasteners. We use the same approach: a solution suited to the material, low pressure and a full rinse. Composite comes back darker and more even, and the line between the cleaned and uncleaned half is usually obvious by the time we are halfway across.

Cleaning before staining

If you are planning to stain, clean first and let the wood dry for two or three days. Stain applied over mold traps it, and it will show through inside a season.

What it costs

Priced by deck size and condition. Quoted in writing before we start. Call or text (336) 936-5689.

When to book

Late spring through early fall gives the boards the dry days they need afterward. If the deck is slick underfoot after rain, that is algae, and it is worth dealing with before somebody goes down on the steps.
