Stain and sealer only bond to clean, sound wood. Cleaning removes dust, gray oxidized fibers, mildew, and old failing finish so a new coat penetrates evenly and lasts years instead of months.

Blasting soft wood with high pressure splinters and "furrs" the grain. We use low pressure and a wood-safe cleaner that lifts dirt and graying while protecting the surface, leaving it smooth and ready to finish. The same care applies to composite decking. Cleaning the deck and fence pairs well with a house soft wash and patio and concrete cleaning for a complete backyard refresh.
