Composite Deck Cleaning Round Lake Park, IL

Composite deck cleaning for Round Lake Park homes

Most of our composite deck cleaning calls in Round Lake Park come from homes with a small village of 1950s-to-1980s homes. In practice that means older treated decks.

Round Lake Park sits on Round Lake nearby, and waterfront wood weathers faster on the water-facing side than the house side. We check both and often give the exposed side a second coat.

Composite decks are the ones that get damaged most often by general pressure washing, because the surface looks tough. It is not. Capped composite has a thin outer layer and a narrow-tip wand will strip it in stripes. We use a soft-wash approach: cleaner, dwell, gentle agitation, low-pressure rinse. If your composite deck has black spots that will not come off with a hose, that is mildew in the surface and it needs the right cleaner, not more pressure.
