Deck boards across New Castle County collect mold, mildew, algae, and gray discoloration. Many lots here sit under tree cover. At T&T Powerwash we soft wash every deck, and our deck cleaning lifts all four. Bare wood gets a two-step cleaner and brightener. Composite and vinyl get a light SH (sodium hypochlorite) mix. To get the mildew and gray off your deck, call (302) 415-3285.
Every deck below gets a soft wash. What changes from one to the next is the treatment, the rinse, and how many stages it takes.
Bare wood gets our two-step process. We apply the cleaner, let it dwell, and rinse panel by panel at low pressure. Then the brightener goes on, and the wood changes almost instantly before a thorough final rinse. It’s the same process we use on bare-wood fences.
Composite boards get a light SH mix that dwells and then rinses away. It’s the same care we give your siding during a house wash.
Trex takes that same gentle mix. We give it time to work, then rinse the boards clean.
Vinyl decking is treated with the light mix as well and finished with a full rinse.
A deck that already carries stain is cleaned like every other deck we handle. It gets a soft wash and never pressure.
Vinyl, metal, and wood railings are cleaned right along with the deck they belong to.
A clean deck is only half the job. Here’s what you get when our crew does it.
Pressure ruins bare wood and strips the finish off composite. So every deck we touch is soft washed, and the chemistry does the cleaning instead of force.
One approach doesn’t fit every deck. Bare wood and composite need different treatment, and matching them is how your deck comes out clean without damage.
We’ll clean any deck that’s structurally sound. If boards are rotting or railings are coming loose, that’s a repair job first. We turn those jobs down to keep our crew safe, and we’ll tell you so plainly.
Railings have angles a quick rinse misses. We look at each one on the way out, because a deck should look right up close, not just from the yard.
Call, text, or fill out our form and tell us about your deck. Most residential quotes come together remotely from your address and a couple of photos you send. Every estimate is free.
Your quote arrives as a link. Approve it with one tap, and we text you a couple of dates and times to choose from.
About three days before we come, our Six Steps to Success prep checklist lands in your texts. A reminder follows, then a text when we’re on our way. First jobs start at 9 AM, and later slots carry a two-hour arrival window. If we’re running late, you hear it from us first.
We pre-rinse the plants around the deck, and the wood itself on bare-wood decks. Anything still sitting on the boards gets moved off before treatment starts.
Our soft-wash system applies the treatment for your deck’s material. It dwells, and then we rinse. Bare wood adds the brightener stage on top of the cleaner.
We rinse your plants again, check every railing, and put the furniture back. Then we walk the deck with you, and anything you notice gets fixed on the spot. You can pay on site or through the invoice link, and we stand behind the work after we leave.
We price each deck by its material, its square footage, and its railings. Bare wood costs the most, and your free estimate sets the final number.
If something isn't right, tell us on the day or three days later. We'll come back out, look at it with you, and make it right where cleaning can. Most touch-ups get handled before we pack up. If you spot something after we've gone, a return trip is simply part of the job.
Most deck cleanings take between 30 minutes and 3 hours. The material and the size of the deck set the time. A bare-wood deck that needs the full two-step process sits at the long end, while a small composite or vinyl deck goes much faster.
Yes, please move light furniture, décor, and small items off the deck before we arrive. It’s all on the Six Steps to Success checklist we text you ahead of the visit. We’ll move heavy pieces like a grill ourselves, and if there’s a lot to move, expect a fee of about $75. Everything goes back where it was when we finish.
Send us your address and a photo or two of the deck, and we’ll put together a free estimate, usually without a visit. Once you approve it, we’ll text you dates that fit your week. We clean decks all across New Castle County, from small composite platforms to full bare-wood decks with railings. Call or text (302) 415-3285 to get yours scheduled.
