About Deck Cleaning
A deck is the most sensitive wooden surface on most Madison homes, and the one most commonly ruined by DIY pressure washing. Soft cedar and pressure-treated pine gouge at pressures above 1,200 PSI; composites like Trex and TimberTech have surface coatings that scour away under high pressure, leaving bare substrate that absorbs moisture and mold permanently. Deck cleaning done right means matching the technique to the material: a low-pressure wash with a brightener solution for wood, a mid-pressure wash with a specialty cleaner for composites, and a gentle rinse with no direct pressure for painted or stained decks that are still in good condition. We handle pressure-treated pine, cedar, redwood, ipe, Trex, TimberTech, Azek, vinyl decking, and painted wood — each with a different approach. The topic also covers the work that often pairs with a deck clean: deck-board inspection for rot and nail pops, railing and stair cleaning, pergola and arbor washing, fence cleaning (vinyl, wood, composite), paver-patio restoration for hardscape that runs adjacent to the deck, and stain-prep sanding and brightening if you're planning to re-seal. Most Madison decks benefit from a clean every 12-18 months; pressure-treated decks that are going to be re-stained need a clean 48 hours before the stain goes on so the wood can dry and accept finish.
