Service
Deck & Patio Cleaning in Sumter, SC
Wood needs a lighter touch than concrete. We clean decks, porches and pavers at a pressure the surface can take, so you get clean boards instead of fuzzed, gouged ones.
What this service covers
Decks are cleaned with reduced pressure and a cleaner that lifts the gray surface film, algae and embedded grime. Pressure alone tears wood fiber; solution plus controlled rinsing does not.
Pavers, stamped patios and composite decking each get their own approach. We identify the surface first and adjust before anything touches it.
What's included
- Deck boards, rails, spindles and steps
- Screened and covered porch floors
- Paver and stamped concrete patios
- Composite decking cleaned at safe pressure
- Debris cleared from between boards
- Rinse of surrounding siding splash areas
Problems this solves
- Gray, weathered surface film hiding good wood underneath
- Green algae in the shaded corners and under furniture
- Grime and mildew packed between boards
- Dull pavers with weed and moss growth in the joints
- Old stain that has gone blotchy and dirty
Why it's worth doing right
Benefits
Usable outdoor space again
A slick, dirty deck stops getting used. Clean boards bring the space back.
Correct prep for stain or sealer
Stain will not bond to a gray, dirty surface. Cleaning first is what makes the finish last.
Less slip risk
Algae film on shaded deck boards and pavers is slippery after rain. Removing it matters.
Wood-safe method
Controlled pressure keeps the grain intact instead of raising fuzz and leaving wand marks.

Questions
Deck & Patio Cleaning FAQs
- Will pressure washing damage my deck boards?
- Not at the pressure we use on wood. Damage comes from holding too much pressure too close, which is exactly what we avoid.
- Can you clean composite decking?
- Yes. Composite cleans well at low pressure with the right solution, and we treat it differently than wood.
- How long before I can stain or seal?
- Wood usually needs a couple of dry days after cleaning. We will give you a timeline based on the weather that week.
- Do you clean the railings too?
- Yes, rails, spindles and steps are part of a deck cleaning, not an extra.
- What about weeds between my pavers?
- Cleaning clears growth from the joints. Heavy weed situations may need joint sand replaced afterward.
- Do I need to move the furniture?
- If you can move it before we arrive, that helps. Otherwise let us know and we will work it out.
