Deck Washing for Ferndale homes
Why Ferndale properties need deck washing
Ferndale's small older homes sit close together under mature trees, so deep shade and tight spacing keep siding and porches damp and algae-prone, and the compact lots call for careful, low-pressure cleaning that won't harm aging finishes.
Ferndale is one of metro Detroit’s most vibrant, walkable cities, where cottage-style homes, bungalows and modest older colonials sit shoulder to shoulder just off the energy of downtown Ferndale and Woodward Avenue. These are smaller, older homes full of character, and the tight lots and vintage finishes call for a thoughtful, gentle approach.
Because the houses are packed close together under mature trees, deep shade and minimal airflow keep siding, porches and north walls damp, and damp surfaces grow green algae and mildew quickly. Aggressive pressure would chew up the aging painted wood and original details these homes are loved for. Low-pressure soft washing is the answer, lifting the growth and grime while protecting the well-worn charm that gives Ferndale its distinctive, lived-in personality.

About our deck washing service
A deck is built to live outside, but Michigan weather is hard on it. Sun, rain, and shade turn natural wood gray and grow a slick layer of algae and mildew — and composite decks aren’t immune either. Deck washing strips away that buildup and brings the surface back to life, safely.
The key word is safely. Decks are where DIY pressure washing does the most damage: too much pressure gouges the wood, raises the grain, and leaves a furry, splintered mess. We use low pressure and wood-safe cleaning solutions that lift the gray, algae, and grime without harming the boards — on both natural wood and composite (Trex-style) decking.
If you’re planning to stain or seal, a professional cleaning is the ideal first step: it gives you a clean, even surface so the finish goes on right and lasts.

Deck Washing in Ferndale — FAQs
Will pressure washing ruin my wood deck?
Aggressive pressure washing absolutely can — it gouges the wood, raises the grain, and leaves a furry, damaged surface. We use low pressure and the right cleaning solutions so the deck comes clean without the damage.
Can you clean composite (Trex) decks?
Yes. Composite decking still grows mold and mildew in shaded, damp spots. We clean it safely at the correct pressure to restore the finish without harming the boards.
Can you stain or seal it afterward?
A clean, dry deck is the perfect surface for stain or sealer. Let us know you're planning to refinish and we'll prep it accordingly.
