Common Deck and Fence Problems in Central Arkansas
Central Arkansas decks and fences face a specific combination of challenges: intense summer sun that bleaches and dries wood, followed by wet fall and winter seasons that drive moisture in and encourage mold and algae growth. By the time spring arrives, most wood decks have visible gray weathering, green staining along shaded areas, and dark mold streaks in between boards. Composite decks develop algae faster than most homeowners expect, especially on east and north-facing surfaces. A professional cleaning before re-staining is essential — stain applied over dirty wood peels within one season.

Deck and Fence Cleaning FAQ
Will pressure washing damage my wood deck?
Improper pressure washing can damage wood — it raises grain, splinters fibers, and can gouge soft wood. We use pressure levels appropriate for each material and always clean with the grain on wood surfaces. For composite decks, we use low-pressure soft wash to avoid voiding manufacturer warranties.
How soon can I stain after deck cleaning?
Wood needs to dry fully before staining — typically 48-72 hours minimum in warm, dry conditions. In Arkansas’s humid climate, we recommend waiting a full 72 hours and checking moisture content with a meter before applying stain.
Can you clean a composite deck?
Yes. Composite decks require low-pressure soft washing rather than high-pressure washing. Many composite warranties specifically prohibit high-pressure cleaning. We use soft wash methods safe for all major composite brands.
How often should I have my deck cleaned?
Annual cleaning is ideal for wood decks in Central Arkansas. Even if you do not re-stain every year, cleaning removes biological growth that degrades the wood surface. Composite decks can typically go 2 years between professional cleanings.
