The right method for the job
When to book deck restoration & staining

- Gray wood that soaks up water

What causes the dirt and stains
- UV breaking down the stain and wood surface
- Film-forming stains that peel instead of wearing
- Water standing on boards
- Mildew feeding on old finish
What you can do yourself
- Do the 'water drop test': if water soaks in instead of beading, the wood needs sealing
- Replace or fasten loose boards and popped nails first
- Keep the deck clean between finishes

Wood decks and fences in Georgia mildew fast and can rot where water and leaves sit. Cleaning every year and refinishing every two to three keeps the wood sound.
Spring pollen season in Georgia coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.

We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule deck restoration & staining?
Every 2-3 years. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
