Deck Cleaning in the Upper Cumberland
Decks take a beating from weather, foot traffic, and organic growth. Over time, dirt, algae, and mildew work into the wood grain, making the surface slippery and accelerating wood deterioration. We clean your deck thoroughly without damaging the wood, leaving it looking fresh and ready for sealing or staining if you choose.

Our Process
Inspect the deck
We check for loose boards, damage, and areas of heavy growth before we start.
Pre-treat problem areas
Heavy mildew or algae growth gets a pre-treatment to break it down.
Clean the surface
We use low-pressure washing with appropriate cleaning solutions to remove buildup without damaging the wood.
Clean between boards
We pay special attention to cracks and gaps where debris and growth accumulate.
Final rinse and inspection
We rinse thoroughly and check for any missed spots.
Why It Matters
Your deck is where you spend time with family, grill out, and relax. A clean deck is more inviting, safer to walk on, and lasts longer. If you're planning to stain or seal, cleaning first is essential — stain won't adhere properly to a dirty surface. It's a straightforward job that makes a real difference in how you use and enjoy your outdoor space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will pressure washing damage my deck?
Not when done correctly. We use low pressure and the right technique for wood decks. High-pressure washing can splinter wood and cause damage.
Should I seal my deck after cleaning?
It's a good idea. Cleaning removes the protective layer, so sealing afterward helps protect the wood and extend the deck's life. We can recommend sealers or contractors if needed.
How often should a deck be cleaned?
Once a year is typical. If your deck gets heavy shade or is surrounded by trees, twice a year might be better.
