Fence Cleaning
A green-tinged fence is the same algae problem as your siding, just at eye level. We clean vinyl, wood, and metal fencing with the right method for each so you get a clean fence, not a damaged one. Text a photo for a flat-rate quote.
Different materials, different methods
Fences aren't one surface. We match the approach to the material:
- Vinyl — low-pressure soft wash with a light surfactant. The green film on a vinyl fence is Cladosporium, the same organism that greens up siding.
- Wood — careful pressure plus a mildewcide; we can brighten weathered wood the same way we do decks.
- Aluminum / metal — gentle cleaning with attention to any rust or oxidation at fasteners and posts.
Why soft-wash beats blasting a fence
It's tempting to power-blast a fence, but high pressure fuzzes wood grain, can crack older vinyl, and just scatters the algae spores so it returns fast. Killing the growth with the right solution gets a cleaner result that lasts. A wood fence will come back faster than vinyl simply because wood holds more moisture.
Long runs, gates, and aftercare
A fence job is mostly about square footage and access. We quote by the run — the linear footage and height, whether one side or both need cleaning, and how much the landscaping crowds it. Gates, lattice tops, and decorative iron take a little more hand-work, and we factor that in.
One thing worth timing right: once a wood fence is cleaned, brightened, and dried, it's the ideal moment to seal or stain it — the same way a deck takes finish best right after a wash and brighten. If you're planning to refinish, do the cleaning first. Send a photo of the fence and the run and we'll send a flat-rate number, usually the same afternoon.
Fence Cleaning questions
Can you clean a vinyl fence without cracking it?
Yes — vinyl fencing gets a low-pressure soft wash, not high-pressure blasting, which is what risks cracking older vinyl. The green film is algae, and the solution kills it at the root so it stays clean longer.
How do you price fence cleaning?
Fence cleaning is quoted by the run — the linear footage, the height, whether both sides need cleaning, and the material. Text a photo of the fence and we'll send a flat-rate number, usually the same afternoon.
