Exterior Cleaning & Restoration
Your wood deck endures Florida's relentless humidity, UV exposure, and seasonal downpours every single day. Over time, dirt, algae, mold, and mildew embed themselves into the grain — dulling the finish, weakening the structure, and creating dangerous slip hazards. First Coast Property Experts delivers professional wood deck cleaning that restores your outdoor living space to its original beauty while protecting the wood for years to come.
We never blast wood with high-pressure water. Our calibrated soft washing uses controlled pressure and professional-grade solutions to clean cedar, pine, redwood, and pressure-treated lumber without raising grain or damaging fibers.
Our biodegradable cleaning agents are tough on algae and mildew but completely safe for surrounding plants, grass, and pool systems. We pre-wet and protect all adjacent landscaping.
A properly cleaned deck is essential for stain and sealant adhesion. Our cleaning process creates the ideal surface for finishing treatments, eliminating the #1 cause of premature stain failure.
We assess board condition, check for loose fasteners, identify rot, and evaluate previous stain and sealant condition to determine the best approach for your specific deck.
We clear all furniture, planters, and debris from the deck surface, then mask and protect adjacent surfaces to prevent overspray and collateral damage.
Our eco-friendly solution breaks down organic growth, loosens ground-in dirt, and kills mold spores at the root level, preparing the surface for effective cleaning.
Our calibrated low-pressure rinse follows the wood grain, removing all contaminants without raising fibers or causing lap marks that diminish appearance.
Hand-attention to railings, balusters, stair treads, and board gaps where buildup concentrates ensures a comprehensive, professional finish throughout.
We evaluate results, document the transformation, and provide staining and sealing recommendations if applicable to extend your deck's life and beauty.
Reveal the original color and grain pattern hidden beneath layers of grime, algae, and UV graying. Your deck will look refreshed and renewed.
Regular cleaning prevents the moisture retention that leads to wood rot, warping, and structural failure, protecting your investment for decades.
Algae and mold create extremely slippery surfaces. Our cleaning restores safe, slip-resistant footing for your family and guests.
A clean, well-maintained deck is one of the highest-ROI exterior improvements. Buyers and visitors notice immediately.
How much does wood deck cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on deck size, wood type, condition, and accessibility. We provide complimentary on-site estimates. Most residential decks in Nocatee and Ponte Vedra range based on square footage — contact us for a specific quote for your property.
Will pressure washing damage my wood deck?
Standard high-pressure washing absolutely can — it splinters fibers, raises grain, and gouges soft wood. Our soft wash method uses a fraction of the pressure with superior cleaning agents for a safer, better result that protects your investment.
How long does deck cleaning take?
Most residential decks (200–600 sq ft) are completed in 2–4 hours, including setup, treatment, washing, and detail work. Larger decks or heavily soiled surfaces may take longer, and we'll provide a time estimate during your consultation.
Should I clean my deck before staining or sealing?
Always. Stain and sealant manufacturers universally recommend cleaning before application. Applying over dirty or moldy surfaces guarantees adhesion failure and wasted product. Let us prepare your deck properly for optimal results.
How often should I have my wood deck professionally cleaned?
Every 12–18 months in Northeast Florida. Decks with heavy shade or proximity to water may need more frequent service to prevent mold and mildew buildup.
Do you clean deck railings and stairs too?
Every surface gets attention. Railings, balusters, stair treads, risers, and the often-neglected undersides of cap rails are all part of our standard service.
Your deck should be a place you're proud to show off — not one you avoid. Let's bring it back. Request your complimentary estimate today and discover why Northeast Florida homeowners trust First Coast Property Experts with their most important outdoor spaces.
