Central Florida sun, heat, and humidity are hard on a deck, and the heavy debris that drops from overhanging oaks only speeds things along. A shaded or tree-covered deck greens up fast here, and once algae and organic growth take hold, the boards turn slick and dingy well before you expect them to.
We clean decks, patios, and pool decks by matching the method and the chemistry to the material, so your surface gets cleaned without getting damaged in the process. On wood, that means a solution that lifts the growth while keeping the natural color intact. We have been cleaning decks across this area for years at Holliday’s Pressure Washing Services, and we treat every board like it’s our own.
If your deck has gone green or gray under the canopy, we can help. Call us at (407) 276-1343 and we’ll walk you through it.
We match the method and the chemistry to the material your deck is made of, rather than blasting every surface the same way and hoping for the best. Here is how we handle each one.
Wood gets cleaned with sodium metasilicate, a wood-safe solution that lifts algae and grime without bleaching the boards or furring up the grain. We apply it with a wand in long, even passes and skip the surface cleaner entirely, so the finish stays smooth from one board to the next. Controlled pressure keeps the wood intact, and the natural color stays put rather than getting stripped out. Shaded wood decks under the oak canopy are the ones that green up fastest in the humidity, so this is the surface we clean most.
Composite gets a material-appropriate solution and controlled pressure so the surface isn’t marred or dulled. We work in long, even passes here too, which keeps the color consistent across the whole deck.
Cedar is a wood surface, so it gets the same wood-safe treatment: sodium metasilicate, a wand rather than a surface cleaner, and controlled pressure that protects the grain and holds the color.
Painted concrete gets a soft wash and controlled pressure so the paint isn’t peeled or lifted off the deck. We rinse and push everything away from the pool, not into it.
Pavers take more than a painted surface, so they may be pressure-washed or turbo-nozzled to get them clean. Paver pool decks cost a little more than painted ones (see below), and like every pool deck, they’re rinsed away from the water.
A standard deck clean lifts algae and grime and keeps the wood’s natural color, but it isn’t the same thing as refinishing wood that has weathered or gone gray. The same wood-safe approach we bring to fence cleaning carries over to your deck, and when wood needs more than a wash, we’ll tell you that up front so you know exactly what to expect.
Here is why homeowners hand us their decks instead of renting a machine or hoping for the best.
The light, wood-safe chemistry we use is what lets your deck come out clean while it still looks like wood, not washed-out or fuzzy. We dial the strength to what the boards actually need, so the grime lifts and the grain and color stay exactly where they belong.
One crew brings the right method for each surface, so you’re not getting a one-size blast that risks your paint or your boards. Wood is worked by hand with a wand, painted concrete gets a gentle soft wash that leaves the paint alone, and pavers get the heavier treatment they can handle.
You can be at work or away for the entire visit and still see every bit of what we did. You’ll get a text with our arrival time, before-and-after photos when we’re done, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link, so the job is documented start to finish without you standing over it.
You’ll know exactly what your clean will deliver before we start, and it’s all in writing. On wood especially, we walk you through what a wash will accomplish and what calls for heavier restoration, so the result matches what we told you to expect.
From your first message to a finished, invoiced job, here is exactly what happens.
The Free Written Estimate. Reach out by form or phone or text, and our office answers and gathers the details on that first contact. A quick discovery call clarifies your deck material and what you’re dealing with, whether that’s algae, general buildup, or weathering. A detailed written estimate follows, priced by the job, with realistic expectations put in writing before you approve anything.
Scheduling and the Heads-Up. Once you approve the estimate, you’re placed on the schedule with a confirmed date. On the day of service, the crew texts you an arrival time so you’re not stuck waiting around or tied to being home.
Matching the Method to Your Deck. The crew applies the solution the material needs. Wood and cedar get sodium metasilicate worked in with a wand, composite and painted concrete pool decks get a controlled soft wash so nothing peels, and paver pool decks may be pressure-washed or turbo-nozzled.
Rinse and Cleanup. Everything gets rinsed down at the end. On pool decks, the rinse is directed away from the pool so nothing carries into the water.
Photos, Invoice, and Payment. We send before-and-after photos, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link by text or email, so you can settle up from wherever you are.
The Follow-Up Happy Call A few days later we call to make sure everything still looks right. If something isn’t, we come back out and take care of it.
Most deck cleans start at a set base price, and the final number depends on your deck’s size, material, and features. Here is how it shakes out.
Bundle two or more services and take $75 off the total, which applies when you book deck cleaning alongside another service, like a house wash plus the deck. Just mention it when you get your estimate.
Yes. Pool decks are rinsed and pushed away from the water, not into it, so runoff doesn’t carry into the pool. Painted concrete pool decks get a controlled soft wash so the paint isn’t peeled, and paver pool decks may be pressure-washed or turbo-nozzled. The deck is included in pool-deck pricing either way.
Every quote is a free, no-obligation written estimate built around your specific deck. If your deck has spent another summer greening up under the Central Florida sun, now is a good time to bring it back to life. Call us at (407) 276-1343 and we’ll get your Longwood deck on the schedule.
