What Deck Cleaning Does for Your Home​

A deck takes the worst of the weather all year. Rain, shade, and damp air leave it covered in dirt, mold, mildew, and a green or gray film that builds up across the boards. On wood, it shows as graying and dark blotches. On composite, it shows as a dull, dirty film. On concrete and paver pool decks, it shows as stains and slick patches. Deck cleaning removes all of it and brings the deck back.

The method depends on what your deck is made of, because the right approach for one material is wrong for another. Wood and composite decks need a soft wash, which uses low pressure and a cleaning solution so the boards come clean without gouging or splintering the surface. Concrete and paver pool decks are hard surfaces that handle pressure washing, which drives the stains out of the texture. We look at your deck and use the method built for it, so it comes out clean and undamaged.

What Professional Deck Cleaning Does for Revere Homes

Cleaning your deck does more than make it look better. Here is what it does for you:

  • Removes mold, mildew, and algae.

    Damp shade lets mold and algae build up on a deck. A proper cleaning clears it off, so the surface looks fresh instead of coated in grime.

  • Makes your deck safer to walk on.

    Algae and mildew get slick when wet, which is a real slip risk on steps and around a pool. Cleaning the deck takes that slick layer off.

  • Protects the surface.

    On wood, trapped moisture and mildew speed up rot and graying. On composite and concrete, buildup wears at the finish. Cleaning it off helps the deck last longer.

  • Uses the right method for your deck.

    Wood and composite get a gentle soft wash. Concrete and paver pool decks get pressure washing. Each material gets the approach that cleans it without harm.

  • Brings back the look.

    A clean deck makes your whole outdoor space look cared for and ready to use, instead of dingy and aged.

  • Preps wood for staining or sealing.

    Stain and sealer do not bond to a dirty, mildewed deck. Cleaning the wood first lets a fresh coat go on evenly and last longer.

Our Simple Deck Cleaning Process

A clear, no-surprises process, from your free estimate to a clean deck you can use again.

We inspect your deck

We check what your deck is made of and how much buildup there is, so we use the right method and cleaning solution for the material.

We protect your landscaping

Before we start, we wet down the plants, grass, and anything near the work area, and cover what needs covering.

We clean with the right method

Wood and composite get a low-pressure soft wash. Concrete and paver pool decks get pressure washing. Either way, the solution and method are matched to your deck.

We rinse it clean

Once the dirt, mold, and algae are broken down, we rinse the deck for a clean, even surface.

We do a final check

We go over the deck and the area around it to make sure nothing was missed and your landscaping is rinsed and clear.

Deck Cleaning Revere And North Shore Homes

Decks around Revere stay damp. The coastal air, the shade from trees and fences, and the salt that drifts in off the water all help mold, mildew, and algae grow on deck surfaces. You see it as a green or black film on the boards, dark blotches in the shaded corners, and a slick coating that shows up after rain. The North Shore climate makes it build up faster than it would inland, so decks here need washing more often.

What your deck is made of decides how it should be cleaned. Wood decks, whether cedar, pressure-treated pine, or a hardwood, have a soft grain that high pressure can tear, splinter, and leave rough. So wood gets a soft wash, low pressure paired with a cleaning solution that lifts the mildew and graying out of the grain. Composite decks like Trex need the same gentle approach, because too much pressure can mark the surface and void the warranty. Concrete and paver pool decks are different. They are hard, durable surfaces, so pressure washing is the right call to drive the dirt and algae out of the texture. Using the wrong method on the wrong deck is how decks get damaged, which is why we match the method to the material every time.

A clean deck is not just about looks. Mold and mildew hold moisture against wood and speed up rot, and a slick algae coating around a pool is a genuine slip hazard. Clearing it off protects the deck you paid for and makes your outdoor space safe to use again. For wood decks, cleaning is also the first step before staining or sealing, since a fresh coat will not hold on a dirty surface. For most Revere homes, a deck cleaning every year or two keeps the surface in good shape and ready for the season.

Deck Cleaning Questions From Revere Homeowners

We match the method to the material. Wood and composite decks get a low-pressure soft wash so the boards are not gouged or marked. Concrete and paver pool decks get pressure washing, since those hard surfaces handle it well. We check what your deck is made of before we start.

High pressure can splinter and gouge wood, which is why we do not use it on wood decks. We clean wood with a low-pressure soft wash and a cleaning solution instead, so the deck comes out clean without tearing up the grain.

Yes. Composite decks clean up well with a gentle soft wash. We avoid high pressure on composite because it can mark the surface and void the manufacturer warranty, so we use low pressure and the right solution.

Yes. Concrete and paver pool decks are hard surfaces, so we use pressure washing to drive out the dirt, algae, and stains that build up in the texture. This also clears the slick coating that makes a pool deck slippery.

Most decks around Revere do well with a cleaning every one to two years. The damp, coastal North Shore climate helps mold and algae grow faster, so shaded decks or decks near the water may need it sooner.
