Deck Cleaning & Power Washing Paddock Lake, WI

Deck cleaning for Paddock Lake homes

Deck cleaning in Paddock Lake starts with knowing the housing: a lake village of older cottages and newer year-round homes. We see a lot of docks and shore decks on Paddock Lake, and the work is planned around it.

Being near Paddock Lake matters too. Wood close to water sees more humidity, more morning dew and, on open water, more reflected sun. We allow extra drying time and lean toward stains with stronger UV blockers on the exposed sides.

The most common deck we see is one a homeowner or a general power-washing company went over at high pressure. The boards look clean for a week, then dry out fuzzy and gray. The pressure tore the surface fibers loose. A chemical clean does the work, and the pressure only rinses. If your deck is due for stain, the cleaning is step one and we roll it into the staining job.

How the job goes in Paddock Lake

1. Cover and pre-wetPlants, siding and light fixtures around the deck get wetted or covered. We check for loose boards and popped nails before we start.
2. Apply the cleanerA percarbonate wood cleaner sits for 10 to 15 minutes and breaks down mildew, algae and the gray layer. Stubborn spots get a scrub brush.
3. Low-pressure rinseUnder 1,000 PSI with a wide fan tip, working with the grain. The rinse is only removing what the cleaner already loosened.
4. BrightenAn oxalic-acid brightener neutralizes the cleaner and restores the natural wood tone, especially on cedar and redwood.
