Professional Fence and Deck Cleaning Services in Burlington, KY
Best Professional Fence & Deck Care in Burlington
Your fence and deck frame how your whole yard looks, and they take the full force of Kentucky weather. Over time, dirt, mildew and weather stains dull the natural color of the wood that makes up your decks. They also leave vinyl looking green and tired. At KRS Pressure Washing Services, we bring fences and decks across Burlington back to their natural look with a gentle touch of safe cleaning solutions.
Why Your Fence and Deck Need Professional Cleaning
Fences and decks provide curb-appeal and value to your home, but they are outside year round with no roof above them. When combined with shade, rain and humidity allow mold to grow in the wood. After settling it retains moisture on the boards. This condition accelerates the rot and results in repairs or replacement at an earlier than expected time.
These are indications that it is time for cleaning:
- Older, grey or silvery wood, indicating degradation of surface fibers by sunlight.
- Green or black spots, typically on the north side of the fence and in shaded areas.
- Board that becomes slippery after rain.
Cleaning the deck regularly outside will eliminate that thin film that makes the deck slippery and get in the way of all family members and guests.

How We Clean Wood Without Damaging It
Wood is far softer than concrete, which essentially means that high pressure washing can easily go wrong here. High pressure tears up the soft grain between the harder growth rings, leaving a fuzzy, splintered surface called furring. A narrow nozzle held too close can also carve lines into the boards that take heavy sanding to remove.
Soft Washing First
We start with a cleaning solution that breaks down mold, mildew and algae at the root. Letting the solution do the work means we need far less pressure to rinse the wood clean.
Low Pressure, With the Grain
When we rinse, we use low pressure and a wide fan tip, moving along the length of each board rather than across it. Deck power washing done this way cleans the wood without stripping away healthy fibers. It also keeps the color even from one end of the deck to the other.
Railings, Stairs and the Gaps Between Boards
The open boards are the easy part. Grime builds up on stair treads and the narrow gaps between deck boards. Missing those spots makes a deck look half-done. We take the time to work through each one, so the whole deck looks properly finished.
After the Clean: Staining, Sealing and Seasonal Care in Burlington
The best time to apply stain and sealer to wood is when it is clean. Give wood at least 2 dry days before restaining. When applied over wet wood, stains can discolor, flake or hold moisture.
Not sure your wood needs a new coat? Sprinkle some water on the boards. If it beads up, the finish already in place is still functioning. If it will soak up and darken the wood, it is time for a re-stain.
Timing matters in Kentucky. Winter moisture lets mildew spread across your deck, so we recommend a spring wash before the outdoor season starts. In fall, a second wash removes the leaves and organic growth that would otherwise sit wet against the boards all winter. Between professional visits, sweep off fallen leaves and trim back shrubs that touch your fence. Those two habits are the simplest wood maintenance you can do.

Fence and Deck Cleaning FAQs for Burlington Homeowners
Most decks need a professional cleaning once a year, ideally in spring before the outdoor season. Fences can usually go one to two years between cleanings. Shaded spots in Kentucky's humid climate grow mildew faster, so those areas may need attention more often.
Yes, when a cleaning solution does the main work. Pressure alone strips away the visible growth but leaves spores in the wood, and they return within months. A soft wash kills the growth at the root, and a low-pressure rinse then clears it away without harm to the boards.
Yes, as long as the pressure stays low and the operator works along the grain with a wide fan tip. Softwoods like pine and cedar need far less pressure than concrete. Too much force raises the wood fibers and leaves a fuzzy, splintered surface that needs sanding to fix.
Deck cleaning removes dirt, mildew and stains to bring the wood back to its natural look. Restoration goes further and may include board replacement, sanding and a new coat of stain or sealer. A thorough cleaning is always the first step, and it often reveals whether a deck needs repairs or just regular care.
