Outdoor spaces should be treated just as well a your indoor spaces. Taking a leaf blower to your fence or deck several times a year, is a great way to remove debris from your wood. Using gentle chemicals to clean once a year will not only keep your structure looking new, it will also kill any organic growth that your fence or deck may accumulate. It is also best to apply a maintenance coat of stain every 3-5 years for fences, every 2 years for decks (high traffic), and every 4-6 years for railings and spindles.

It is not too late to stain your fence or deck! Even old wooden structures can be cleaned and restored. In a lot of cases a basic wash is needed before staining. In more extreme cases, full restoration is needed. This would include cleaning, brightening, and in some cases, sanding.

Stain & Seal Application
This is the final stage of the wood restoration process. Stain and Seal are used to protect new wood or freshly restored wood. Fence stain and deck stain protect your wood fence and deck from warping, twisting, and natural elements while also improving appearance and curb appeal. Fence stain and deck staining/sealing also provide an added layer of protection from the intense SC sun while also preserving your wood.
Pressure washing/ Cleaning
Pressure washing is a cleaning method that uses (low) pressure, along with a mixture of algaecides, surfactants and water, to safely clean exterior surfaces of organic stains, mildew, algae, and other organic matter. Pressure washing is a very effective and safe way to get your home back looking new again!
brick and concrete power washing
Power washing brick, stone, and concrete is a quick way to make your home look aesthetically pleasing and add curb appeal. Power washing these surfaces removes years of buildup. We start by applying a product that neutralizes any organic growth such as algae and then we agitate the cleaner. We then go over the surface with a professional surface cleaner.
