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!

A gray deck is not dead wood. Around Lake Murray, the damp coming off the water leaves the boards weathered and tired before their time. We bring the warm color back with low pressure and the right wash, so your deck and your dock both look like new wood again.

No surprises, straight answers
Yes. The dock sits right over the water, so the constant damp grays those boards fast. We wash and brighten the deck and the dock the same careful way.
Not the way we do it. We keep the pressure low so the soft wood fiber stays whole. High pressure is what raises splinters, and we do not work that way on wood.
Yes. We use an oxygen cleaner, not chlorine, and we soak the beds first. Your plants come through fine while the boards get clean.
Both. The wash lifts the gray and mildew, then the brightener pulls the warm tone back up. The good wood was under there the whole time.
Tannin and rust are different from the gray. They soak into the wood. We fade what we can and tell you up front what may not fully lift.
Yes. We rinse the boards down well after, and the oxygen cleaner we use breaks down gentle. Your dog can be back out once it dries.

Questions, answered
Out here by the lake, the damp keeps the gray coming back, so plan on it every about every year-and-a-half to two years. The lake-facing side will usually need it first.
Yes. We service Chapin and the lakefront decks and docks all around the north shore of Lake Murray. The water lifestyle is what we clean up after.
Wood is soft. Full power tears the fiber and raises splinters you feel barefoot. Low pressure plus the right cleaner gets it clean without the damage.
No. That gray is weathered surface fiber and mildew sitting on good wood. The wash lifts it and the brightener brings the warm color back.
No. We soak the beds first and use an oxygen cleaner instead of chlorine. Your plants and grass come through the wash fine.
Rust and tannin soak into the wood, so they act different from the gray. We fade what we can and tell you up front what may not fully lift.

Deck Washing in Chapin, the Capital of Lake Murray
Most people think a gray deck or dock is dead wood. It is not. That gray is weathered surface fiber and mildew sitting on top of good wood. Out here on the lake, the constant moisture off the water keeps that gray coming back, on the lake-facing side first. We lift it with an oxygen cleaner and a wood brightener at low pressure. No high pressure on soft wood, because that tears the fiber and raises splinters. The warm color you remember is still under there, waiting. We bring it back the careful way.
Chapin calls itself the Capital of Lake Murray, sitting on the lake’s north shore in the Dutch Fork part of Lexington County. The town is built around the water: lakefront homes with docks and boathouses, lake-area subdivisions like White Rock, Lake Point, Ballentine Landing, and Milmont Shores, and newer family neighborhoods such as Green Valley Estates and Spring Hill that have filled in fast as Chapin has grown. The constant moisture coming off Lake Murray, along with heavy pine pollen and shade, keeps algae and mildew coming back on the lake-facing and north sides of these homes, and lakefront living means a lot of decks, pool decks, and boat-adjacent concrete to keep up. Crooked Creek Park is the town rec hub, and Dreher Island State Park reaches out into the lake. Homes range from newer vinyl in the growing subdivisions to older places near the original Chapin downtown.
In Ballentine Landing, Lake Point, and Dutchman Shores, or anywhere else around Chapin, we come to you for deck washing, no trip fee.
While we're at your Chapin 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
Every step protects the soft wood while we lift the gray and bring the color back.
We wet down the beds and plants under the deck first, so nothing around the boards gets harmed by the wash.
We put down an oxygen cleaner and let it work the gray and mildew loose. No chlorine touches your wood.
We rinse at low pressure, gentle enough to keep the fiber whole and clear the lifted gray off the boards.
We run a wood brightener over the boards. It neutralizes the cleaner and pulls the warm color back up.
