Short answer: yes. Long answer: We wouldn’t touch a single blade of grass if it meant risking your family’s safety. That’s why we dilute our detergents to a safe, proven formula: 15% detergent, 5% neutral soap (for cling), 80% water.

In 30+ years, not one plant, pet, or property has been harmed. That’s our track record, and it’s not by accident.

Think of a seal as invisible armor — it blocks water and sun, keeping your wood strong but clear. When it rains, you’ll see it working as the droplets bead right off.

A stain goes a step further: it protects and colors. Semi-transparent stains let the wood grain show through, while solid stains give bold coverage and the longest-lasting finish.

Our USP: We don’t just spray and pray. Every deck gets hand-brushed detail work, taped edges, and full protection of your surrounding space.

We don’t fight the weather — we plan for it. Here’s how:

1. Once your deck is washed, you’re placed in our priority client queue.
   
2. Jobs are completed in the order they’re washed, minimizing time gaps.
   
3. We bring in additional staff during high-demand seasons.

You don’t pay until your project is finished. That way, you know we’re just as motivated as you are to beat the forecast and deliver results.

We’ll move the basics (a table, four chairs, a grill) at no charge. For extra items, we’ll ask you to move them or we can handle them for a small fee. Because let’s be honest — nobody wants to wrestle with 17 potted plants before coffee.

• Deck floor
  
• Inside and outside of railings
  
• Support posts
  
  

Bonus: We can even clean the underside (not industry standard, but we’ll do it if you want).

Everything from gutters down to the foundation. No high-pressure damage, just our Soft Wash System — low pressure, mild detergent, maximum clean.

Tiger-striped gutters? We’ll hand scrub those too. Because pressure alone doesn’t always cut it.

• Day 1: Deck washing
  
• Dry time: Weather dependent
  
• Sealing/staining: Usually within 1–2 weeks
  
  

We work fast, but never rush the science. Perfect weather means perfect results.

No. Just shut the windows, turn on an outside water spigot, and go live your life. We’ll handle the rest.

Yes. Licensed, insured, BBB-accredited, and top-rated on Angie’s List & Yelp. Translation: We’ve done this thousands of times, and we’ll do it right for you.

Absolutely. From Southern Yellow Pine to IPE hardwood to composites. Old composite decks may hold permanent black spots — if that’s the case, we’ll recommend a solid stain to cover them.

Washing removes dirt, mildew, and algae. If you want to lighten the deck color or remove uneven stain, we’ll apply a deck stripper first to safely break it down.

We use only top-grade stains, applied under the right conditions. But nature plays by its own rules: full-sun decks fade faster, shady decks mildew sooner.

What we guarantee: maximum life possible for your deck in Northern Virginia’s brutal climate — and a finish that’s done right.
