Two nice young workers arrived 30 minutes in advance. They were very polite and helpful in removing all plants from front porch before pressure washing. The house and driveway are so clean now. Great job!

Our Work
Real Results, Real Homes
Two ways to wash wood
Restore it, don't shred it
Old boards don't grow back
The pressure-wand shortcut
Force on soft wood
- Roughs the grain up until boards feel worse than before
- Splinters the edges of steps and rail tops
- Gouges the soft spots and leaves marks that stay
- Tears the fiber open, so the gray settles back in sooner
Bub's method
Low-pressure wood restoration
Cleaner first, brush second, low rinse last
- An oxygen-based cleaner breaks the gray and mildew loose
- A soft brush and a low rinse, no hard pass on the boards
- A brightener reopens the tone and neutralizes the wood
- Composite gets a matched process, minus the brightener

The questions Cayce homeowners
actually ask
We treat them like they're ours. The beds get a real soak before any product comes out, the cleaner stays aimed at the wood, and everything around the deck gets a rinse when we finish. The product we use on wood is gentler chemistry than a harsh strip, which works in your plants' favor.
Yes, if the boards are sound, and we check that first. Old wood fails under force, so force stays out of the job. The cleaner lifts the gray, the brush moves it, and the rinse stays low the whole way. If a board is too far gone to wash, we say so instead of washing it anyway.
Yes, with a simple rule. Keep them inside while we work and until the deck and the ground around it have dried. That keeps paws off wet boards and out of anything that hasn't finished rinsing away.
It holds a good while, and the green comes back slower than you're used to, though it does come back. We lift the mildew out of the grain instead of wiping it across the top, so regrowth has to start over from clean wood. Letting more sun and air onto that end stretches the result further.
Clean, bright wood with its natural tone back is the honest target, and most decks get there. What a wash won't fix is deep-set stains, peeling old sealer, or boards that have physically worn down. We point those out on the walk-through so you know the ceiling before we start.
Yes, both. A deck job puts our crew on your raised structure, hands on your rails, and boots up and down your stairs. If anything got damaged, our insurance answers for it, and we'll show you the paperwork before we start if you want it.

How booking works
Seen in person, priced in person
Wood gets looked at before it gets priced. Here's how it goes from first call to clean deck.
1
Call or use the short quote form, whichever suits you. Tell us it's a deck and roughly what shape the wood is in, and our booking folks take it from there.
2
A fresh-washed deck needs to dry, so we schedule your job into a dry stretch. The boards start drying as soon as the rinse water runs off, which sets up any staining you've got planned.
3
The tech covers the top boards, rails, stairs, and the framing underneath. Soft spots, popped nails, and anything a wash can't fix get flagged before water touches the wood.
4
We check the boards and rails up close first, then price the whole deck in person, free. You'll know the number before we unload a hose.

Questions, answered
Cayce questions, answered
Yes, all over town. We wash decks from Pinewood over to Glenwood and the streets between, older wood and newer builds alike.
Most decks here do well with a wash about every year-and-a-half to two years. Open, sunny decks can stretch that longer, while boards under heavy shade gray out sooner. When the surface starts feeling rough under bare feet, it's ready again.
A pressure wand will, which is why we don't put one to wood. High pressure furs the grain, raises splinters, and gouges the softer spots. Our process leans on the cleaner and a soft brush, with just a low rinse to carry everything off.
No, let the wood dry for a couple of days first. Stain over damp boards traps moisture and fails early. The wash restores the tone of the wood, and putting color on it is a separate job once the boards are dry.
A little. Composite gets the same gentle, low-pressure clean, but we skip the brightener since there's no natural wood tone to bring back. The mildew and grime lift off just the same.
We can lighten a surface drip, and only so much. Grease that soaked deep into the boards may barely move, and we'd rather say that up front than promise a miracle. It's a separate specialty treatment from the wash, and we'll look at the spot in person before we tell you anything.

Deck Washing in Cayce, brickyard town
What sets our Cayce work apart
A lot of owners see a gray deck and start pricing new boards. Hold off. That gray is a layer of dead surface fiber and mildew, and sound wood is usually still under it. Boards sitting in river-bottom shade take it worst, because the yard under them never really dries. The side that gets no sun grays first and turns rough under bare feet. That roughness is the tell, and it comes off. The right cleaner lifts the layer, and the true tone of the wood comes back.
Cayce sits on the west bank of the Congaree River, straight across from downtown Columbia, on some of the lowest, flattest ground in the Midlands. The heart of it is the Avenues, a grid of bungalows and brick ranches built in the 1940s and 50s when veterans came home and the Blossom Street bridge tied Cayce to Columbia. This is old brick country in the most literal way: the Guignard family dug clay out of these river bottoms for two centuries, and the beehive kilns of the Guignard Brick Works still stand near the river. The Cayce Riverwalk and the wooded Timmerman Trail run along the Congaree, and the river bottom keeps the ground and the air damp, so shaded lots in Riverland Park and the Avenues hold moisture long after the rain stops. Newer subdivisions like Hunter's Mill and Moss Creek fill in toward the south end of town.
From Vista Hills, The Avenues, and Guignard Estates, Cayce homeowners count on us for deck washing done right.
While we're at your Cayce place, we can knock out your driveway cleaning, concrete cleaning, and pool deck cleaning too, all on the same trip with no second trip fee.
Veteran-owned, and we treat your home like it's ours.

Our process, step by step
How the wash actually goes
Order matters on wood. Here's the job the way we run it, start to finish.
We go over the boards, rails, and stairs before any product comes out, checking for soft spots and loose hardware. The beds and grass around the deck get a heavy soak so nothing lands on a dry leaf.
An oxygen-based cleaner goes onto the boards and sits while it works. It loosens the gray, dead fiber and the mildew that grew where the sun can't reach the wood.
We brush the boards and rails by hand, then rinse everything at low pressure. The high-pressure tip stays in the truck, since that's what furs grain and splits old boards.
Real wood gets a brightener that reopens the natural tone and neutralizes the surface, while composite skips that step. Give the boards a couple of days to dry, and if you want stain or seal, that's its own job on dry wood.
