Living on the Gulf Coast is hard on an outdoor deck. The humid subtropical air, the frequent rain, and the salt drifting in off the water keep your boards damp far longer than they would stay in a drier part of the country, and that constant moisture feeds algae, mildew, and the gray weathering that dulls a deck year after year.
We clean both wood and composite (Trex) decks, and we match the effort to what the deck actually needs. A standard soft wash handles everyday buildup, and for decks that have gone years without attention, we step up to a restoration clean. Here at Florida Pro Wash, we pride ourselves on getting that read right the first time.
If your deck has started to gray or grow green with algae, we can help. Call us at (850) 919-9274 for a free estimate.
We clean every common deck material and choose the cleaning method to fit what the boards are made of, so the surface gets genuinely clean without getting damaged.
For a standard clean, wood gets a light soft wash that lifts algae, mildew, and grime without blasting away at the grain. When a wood deck has weathered hard or gone neglected for years, we move to a restoration clean that adds controlled higher pressure and brightening agents to bring the boards back (more on that below). Either way, we leave the wood as a clean slate: cleaned and restored, ready for whatever finish you choose to add later. Of all the materials we clean, wood shows the salt air and moisture the most, which is why it often benefits from that extra restoration step.
Composite responds well to a light soft wash and does not need aggressive pressure for a standard clean, so that is exactly how we treat it, and the surface comes clean without any risk to the material. For heavily built-up composite where a standard clean is not enough, restoration-level cleaning is available. If your yard has a wood or composite fence in the same shape as your deck, our fence cleaning uses the same method-to-material approach, so the two are easy to handle together.
We do not run one setting on every deck. Everyday grime gets a standard soft wash, and weathered boards get a controlled restoration clean, with the pressure and chemistry dialed in for the specific deck in front of us. That is what protects the boards while still getting them all the way clean.
We tell you up front what a cleaning will do for your particular deck. A badly weathered deck can come a long way back, and we will give you a clear, realistic picture of the result during the estimate so you know exactly what to expect. You get that straight read from us before we start, not after.
We’re fully licensed and insured, with full liability coverage on every job, so your deck and the landscaping around it are protected while our crew works.
You will hear from us before, during, and after the job, and every deck cleaning comes with before-and-after photos. That matters most for second-home and vacation-rental owners who are not on site to watch the work happen.
It starts when you call or reach out online. We assess the deck, its material (wood or composite), its square footage, and its condition, so we can tell whether it needs a standard clean or a restoration clean. Then we give you a free estimate covering scope, method, and a clear picture of the result you can expect.
Once you book, you get an automated reminder about two days out to confirm the appointment. On the day of the job, you will get an “on our way” message, a note when the work starts, and another when it is finished.
Before any solution goes down, we rinse the landscaping and plants around the deck, and we keep them wet through the clean so nothing nearby takes the runoff. Anything close to the work gets accounted for before we begin.
For a standard clean, our crew applies a soft wash solution (sodium hypochlorite at roughly 1 to 2 percent) with a soft-wash system, lets it dwell, and rinses. The chemistry does the work at low pressure, so the boards are cleaned without being damaged.
On restoration-level decks, we follow that light soft wash with controlled higher pressure to lift the buildup a standard clean leaves behind, keeping the pressure matched to the material so we do not chew up the boards. The brightening stage then follows, as described in the restoration section above.
Whenever we can, we walk the finished deck with you before we leave so you can see the result yourself. Your invoice, with the before-and-after photos, follows once you are happy with the work.
We price deck cleaning by the square foot, and where a deck lands in the range comes down to its size and condition, meaning whether it needs a standard soft wash or a full restoration clean. Here is what to expect.
If there is a current promotion that applies, just ask when you get your estimate.
Some decks need more than a standard soft wash. Boards with heavy buildup and deep graying call for a stronger approach, so we start with a light soft wash and then add controlled higher pressure to work off what remains. From there, brightening agents like sodium percarbonate or oxalic acid bring the weathered boards back toward their original tone.
We finish by leaving the boards a clean, bare surface, restored and ready for whatever you want to do with them next. Because restoration is a multi-stage job, it prices higher than a standard clean, which is reflected in the per-square-foot range you will see below.
No, we clean and restore decks but do not stain, seal, or apply any finish. We leave the deck as a clean slate, and if you want it stained or sealed afterward, that is handled separately by a finishing specialist. This is true for both a standard clean and a restoration clean.
For a standard clean, no, because composite decks are cleaned with a light soft wash rather than aggressive pressure, so the surface is not damaged. Controlled higher pressure only comes into play for restoration-level cleaning where the buildup calls for it, and even then it is matched carefully to the material. We choose the method for the deck material every time.
Anywhere from about 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the deck’s size and condition. A standard soft wash on a smaller deck falls at the faster end, while a large or heavily weathered deck that needs a restoration clean takes longer.
No, you do not have to be home. Many of the decks we clean belong to second-home and vacation-rental owners who are not on site, so we communicate by message and send before-and-after photos, letting you see the finished work whether you are there or not.
Your estimate is free and comes with no obligation. Whether your boards have started to gray or you just want them fresh before your next season of use, our crew is ready to take a look and give you a straight quote. Call us at (850) 919-9274 to get started.
