Remove Buildup That Damages Deck Materials

Deck cleaning services for wood and composite decks in Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Your deck in Murfreesboro sits under trees or in a shaded area, and over time green algae, black mildew, and grime build up on the boards and railings. You notice the surface feels slippery when wet, and the color has dulled from what it looked like when the deck was new. Deck cleaning removes that buildup and helps protect the wood or composite material from premature wear.

This service targets algae, mildew, dirt, and organic films that accumulate on wood and composite decking. The cleaning method uses low-pressure soft washing combined with cleaning solutions designed to kill growth and lift grime without damaging the surface or stripping finishes.

How decks are cleaned and what you see after

The work begins with an inspection to determine whether the deck is wood or composite and to identify areas with heavy buildup. In Murfreesboro, decks surrounded by trees or exposed to humidity are especially vulnerable to algae and mildew. A low-pressure cleaning solution is applied to the surface, allowed to dwell, then rinsed thoroughly to remove organic matter and dirt.

After the service, you will notice the deck returns to a cleaner, more uniform color. Algae and mildew disappear, grime lifts away, and the surface dries without the slippery film that forms on untreated boards. The deck looks fresher and feels safer to walk on in bare feet or when wet.

This service is available for both residential and commercial properties. It works best on decks where organic buildup is the primary issue, not heavy staining from oil or rust. Deck cleaning does not repair wood damage, seal surfaces, or restore faded stain without additional treatment.

Common concerns homeowners bring up before starting

Homeowners often want to know about material safety, timing, and how long the results last before scheduling their first deck cleaning.

What types of decks can be cleaned?
Deck cleaning works on wood decks, composite decking, and vinyl railings. The cleaning method is adjusted based on material type to prevent damage while removing buildup.
How often should decks be cleaned?
Most decks in Murfreesboro benefit from cleaning once a year. Decks with heavy tree cover or high humidity exposure may need cleaning more frequently to prevent mold and mildew buildup.
When is the best time to schedule deck cleaning?
You can schedule deck cleaning any time of year, but spring is popular because it removes buildup from winter moisture. Avoid scheduling during freezing temperatures to prevent ice formation on the deck.
Will deck cleaning damage wood or stain finishes?
Deck cleaning uses low-pressure soft washing and mild cleaning solutions designed to protect wood and finishes. High-pressure methods are not used on decks to avoid splintering or stripping stain.
How long does it take to clean a deck?
A standard residential deck in Murfreesboro takes one to two hours depending on size and level of buildup. Larger decks or those with heavy algae growth take longer.
