Keeping your home and property spruced up helps to maintain its value and retain a great appearance. Part of that includes taking care of your home exterior and power washing a wood deck is great place to start. Many homeowners have wood decks to enjoy the outdoors and entertain family and friends however, decks need maintenance and cleaning!

Why power wash a wood deck?

Throughout the year dirt, tree debris and grime get ground into the wood from foot traffic and rainfall. Slippery mold and mildew are also common problems with decks, and can create fall hazards, particularly if the rain is dripping off your roof onto the deck. Getting a thorough cleaning will get rid of all of these and revive your deck for a season full of backyard grill-outs and gatherings.

Power washing does an excellent job to revitalize your wood deck, but it takes experience and skill to get the job done correctly and not damage your deck. Pressure washers can cause a lot of harm if not used at the appropriate PSI, creating permanent grooves in your wood that cannot be repaired. The type of nozzle used is important as well, and choosing the wrong one can end up doing more harm than good.
