Composite deck cleaning for Mount Pleasant homes

Composite deck cleaning in Mount Pleasant starts with knowing the housing: suburban subdivisions from the 1970s through today on generous lots. That means long cedar fences between subdivision lots, which changes the prep more than the stain.

The wooded corridor along the Root River means a lot of Mount Pleasant yards are shaded for most of the day. Shaded wood stays damp, grows mildew on the north side and needs a thorough chemical clean and brightener before it will take stain evenly.

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.

Mount Pleasant 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 Mount Pleasant?

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.
