Fence cleaning for Pell Lake homes

Most of our fence cleaning calls in Pell Lake come from homes with a lake community of cottages and modest year-round homes. In practice that means older decks that have never been sealed.

Pell Lake sits on Pell Lake, 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.

We clean fences with a percarbonate wood cleaner and a low-pressure rinse, the same way we clean decks. A pressure washer wand at 3,000 PSI held close to a fence board will leave permanent stripe marks and splinter the surface. We have been called to fix a lot of those.

How the job goes in Pell Lake

  1. Pre-wet and protectPlants along the fence line are soaked so the cleaner does not affect them. Siding and windows in range are rinsed.
  2. Apply cleanerSodium percarbonate solution goes on by pump sprayer, dwells 10 to 15 minutes and lifts algae, mildew and gray oxidation.
  3. Scrub problem spotsThe bottom foot of the fence and shaded sections get a stiff brush where growth is thick.
  4. Low-pressure rinseWide fan tip, well off the boards, working top to bottom so dirty water does not re-streak clean areas.

Pell Lake fence cleaning FAQ

Can you pressure wash a wood fence?

Only at low pressure with a wide tip, after a cleaner has done the work. High pressure splinters fence boards and leaves wand marks. We rinse, we do not blast.

Will cleaning kill the plants along my fence?

The cleaners we use are oxygen-based and break down into soda ash and water. We wet plants before and rinse after, and have not had issues with lawns or perennials.

How far in advance should I book fence cleaning in Pell Lake?

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.

Do you charge extra to come to Pell Lake?

Pell Lake is just over the state line from our Zion-area work, and it is inside our normal service radius. No separate travel charge for Pell Lake.
