Composite deck cleaning for Bannockburn homes

Most of our composite deck cleaning calls in Bannockburn come from homes with large wooded lots with substantial homes. That means heavily shaded decks under mature oaks, which changes the prep more than the stain.

In southern Lake County, where Bannockburn sits, the variable is shade. Sunny decks gray and dry out; shaded ones stay green. We treat each side of the same deck accordingly.

We clean composite and PVC decks across Lake County with manufacturer-appropriate cleaners and low pressure. The goal is to get the deck back to its original color without leaving wand marks, which are permanent on capped composite.

Bannockburn composite deck cleaning FAQ

Can composite decks be pressure washed?

Only at low pressure with a wide tip. Manufacturers generally cap it around 1,500 PSI held a foot or more away. Higher than that, or a narrow tip, will scar the surface.

What are the black spots on my composite deck?

Almost always mildew growing in the surface texture, fed by pollen and moisture. A composite-safe cleaner removes it. Bleach alone will lighten it and leave it to come back.

How far in advance should I book composite deck cleaning in Bannockburn?

Two to four weeks in spring and early fall, which are the busiest windows. Midsummer usually has more availability. Text photos and your town and we will give you a date with the quote.
