Deck Cleaning in Tarrytown, TX

Not every stain on a deck is simple dirt. Some of it is living growth, some is mineral, and some is weathered wood. Knowing the difference is how we pick the right cleaner and the right pressure. Tarrytown borders Lake Austin, and homes on the lake side or under tree cover stay damp longer after rain, which is where algae and mildew tend to grow first.

Weathered Gray Fibers

When untreated wood sits in the Texas sun, the top layer oxidizes and turns gray. Blasting it with high pressure lifts the grain and leaves the deck rough. We pretreat first, then use a soft rinse so the loose gray layer comes off and the board beneath stays smooth.

Black Spots and Mildew

Tiny black dots on boards and railings are usually mildew colonies. They show up in shady spots and on surfaces that stay wet under planters or furniture. Our cleaner kills the growth at the surface, and the rinse takes away the stain it left, rather than just moving it around.

Dirt Trapped at the Edges

Where decking meets the house wall, around posts and under the lip of each stair, grime piles up in thick lines. These edges are the first thing people notice once the middle is clean. We slow down on them and work each edge with the wand until it matches.

Pollen Film After Spring

Every spring a yellow-green dust coats outdoor surfaces, then rain turns it into a sticky layer. Over months it darkens and traps more dirt. A proper cleaning removes the whole layer at once, leaving boards and furniture areas that feel clean instead of gritty when you walk barefoot.

Green Bands at the Base of the Fence

Fence boards that touch mulch or grass stay damp and grow a green line along the bottom. The sunny side often looks fine while the shady side looks neglected. When the fence joins the visit, we treat both faces and clean in sections so the color comes out even.
