Composite deck cleaning for Pleasant Prairie homes

Pleasant Prairie has 1990s-and-newer subdivisions on large lots plus lakefront homes, and that shapes how we approach composite deck cleaning here. In practice that means docks and shore decks on Lake Andrea.

With Lake Andrea and Lake Michigan close by, decks and fences here hold moisture longer in the mornings. We schedule the wash early in the week so there is time to dry before stain goes on.

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.

Pleasant Prairie 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 Pleasant Prairie?

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.
