Deck & Fence Maintenance 101: Extending the Life of Your Wood

Regular pressure washing removes the mold and grime that quietly rot wood decks and fences over time.

What’s Actually Attacking Your Wood

Mold, mildew, and algae don’t just discolor a deck or fence, they hold moisture against the grain, and that trapped moisture is what accelerates rot underneath the surface. On top of that, UV exposure gradually breaks down the wood fibers, which is why untreated wood fades to gray over time even without any growth on it.

Pressure Washing the Right Way

Wood is softer than concrete or brick, so the technique matters more than the equipment. A moderate PSI, a wide fan tip, and a consistent distance from the surface clean off buildup without gouging the wood or raising and fuzzing the grain, a common result of using too much pressure too close.

After the Wash: Seal It In

Cleaning removes what’s built up, but it doesn’t protect the wood going forward. Once the surface is fully dry, reapplying stain or sealant locks out moisture and UV exposure, typically for one to two years depending on how much sun and foot traffic the deck or fence sees.
