Deck & Fence Cleaning in Port Moody: How to Avoid Damage to Wood and Composite

Common Pitfalls of Deck Cleaning

•
Furring Wood: Too much pressure tears the wood fibers, leaving a rough, 'fuzzy' surface.
•
Lapping Marks: Uneven pressure creates visible stripes that are hard to remove, especially visible against a freshly washed house.
•
Composite Discoloration: Some chemicals can bleach or stain composite decking like boards.
•
Stripping Stain: Inconsistent cleaning can strip away remaining finish, requiring a full sand and restain.

Our Restoration Approach

Safe and effective for Port Moody properties:

•
Oxygen Bleach Cleaners: We use wood-safe cleaners that lift dirt without damaging the lignin.
•

Neutralization: We neutralize cleaners to ensure the wood is ready for future staining if needed.
•
Composite-Specific Care: We follow manufacturer guidelines for composite materials to maintain warranties.
