Central Florida heat, humidity, and heavy summer storms give algae and organic growth an easy start, and a fence sitting under the shade of a large overhanging oak stays damp long enough for that green and gray film to settle into the boards. Left alone, it dulls the wood until the fence looks far older than it is. That is a normal condition here, not a sign anything is wrong with your fence.
We clean it back with a soft, wood-safe approach that lifts the algae and grime without bleaching the wood or tearing up the grain. At Holliday’s Pressure Washing Services, we match the chemistry and the pressure to each material, so a wood fence gets a gentle wash rather than a blast that raises the grain. To talk through your fence, call us at (407) 276-1343.
We match the cleaning method to the fence material, and wood is the material that needs the most care.
Wood fences are cleaned with a wood-safe solution, sodium metasilicate, that lifts algae and grime without bleaching the wood’s natural color or furring the grain. Shaded, oak-canopy yards common around Longwood hold moisture against wood fencing and speed up the green organic growth this method is built to remove.
A few things make the difference between a fence that looks clean and a fence that looks clean without paying for it later.
Plenty of washes leave wood bleached out or grayed. Ours keeps the color where it belongs. The wood-safe solution we use is the lightest effective chemistry for the surface, dialed up only when the job actually calls for it, so the algae and grime come off while the natural tone of the wood stays put.
We clean wood with a wand in long, continuous passes, no surface cleaner and controlled pressure, so you do not end up with the stop-and-go marks or gouging that high pressure leaves on fencing. The payoff is an even finish across the whole fence rather than a patchwork of cleaned and missed spots.
You don’t have to be home. 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, and a follow-up call a few days later to make sure everything still looks right. That is how every job runs, not an extra you have to ask for.
From your first message to a finished, invoiced fence, here is exactly how it goes.
Reach out by the online quote form or by phone or text, and our office gathers the details and clarifies what the fence needs on that first contact. After we size the fence, you get a detailed written estimate before any work begins, with realistic outcomes for older or weathered wood put in writing up front.
Once the estimate is approved, you are placed on the schedule with a confirmed date. On service day the crew texts an arrival window, and you do not need to be home for any of it.
The wood-safe solution goes on with a wand in long, continuous passes, with no surface cleaner on the wood and controlled pressure rather than high pressure. Worked this way, it lifts the algae and grime evenly and leaves no stop-and-go marks behind. If your wood needs more than a clean, this is a good moment to ask us about heavier restoration.
The fence is rinsed down, and the crew makes a second pass to catch any spots that need another touch before we move on.
Before-and-after photos, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link come by text or email once the work is done. A few days later you get a follow-up happy call so we can confirm the fence still looks right and take care of anything you want a closer look at.
Most fence cleaning lands in a documented range, and the final number depends on the size of the fence, its condition, and the material.
Cleaning is the main service, but heavier wood restoration is available on request. Reach out and we will talk through what is realistic for your wood before anything is scheduled.
Reach out for a free written estimate on your fence and we will scope it, price it, and put the realistic outcomes in writing before we start. If yours has started to gray over, now is a good time to book. Call us at (407) 276-1343 to get on the schedule.
