Serving Ely, NV and nearby towns
Wood decks and fences in Nevada dry out, crack and gray quickly in the sun. Cleaning and a penetrating stain with UV protection every two years or so slows the damage.
Much of Nevada has hard water. Sprinklers and misters leave white mineral spots on walls, windows, fences and pool tile, and those spots need a mineral-safe cleaner, not more pressure.

How much does deck cleaning cost in Ely, NV?

Do you use high pressure for deck cleaning?
Deck Cleaning is done with low-pressure wash with wood cleaner. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is deck cleaning safe for my plants and pets?
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 cleaning?
Once a year. 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. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
