Deck & Fence Cleaning in Central Arkansas | American Services AR

Since 2015Serving Central AR

⚠ Wood Rot Warning: Algae and mildew trap moisture against wood fibers. Untreated buildup accelerates rot — the #1 cause of premature deck replacement.

Your deck and fence take the hardest weather beating of any surface on your property — baking under Arkansas summers, soaking through spring rains, and collecting algae, mildew, and UV damage year-round. Left untreated, that grey, slippery buildup doesn’t just look bad — it destroys wood from the inside out. American Services AR restores decks and fences across Central Arkansas using safe, low-pressure techniques that remove years of buildup without damaging wood or vinyl surfaces.

💡 Signs your deck or fence needs cleaning: Green or black streaking, slippery surface when wet, grey weathered wood, visible mold or mildew between boards, or it’s been more than 12 months since last cleaning.

Our Deck & Fence Cleaning Process

Surface Inspection

We assess wood type, overall condition, staining patterns, and check for signs of rot or loose boards before touching any equipment. This ensures the right pressure and solution for your specific surface.

Pre-Treatment

A biodegradable cleaning solution is applied and allowed to dwell, breaking down algae, mildew, and organic staining at the source — not just on the surface.

Low-Pressure Wash

We use a soft-wash or controlled low-pressure rinse to remove all loosened buildup without raising the wood grain, splintering fibers, or driving water deep into the boards.

Brightener Application (Optional)

A wood brightener restores the natural tone of weathered wood and opens the grain — the ideal prep step if you plan to stain or seal the surface after cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions — Deck & Fence Cleaning

Will pressure washing damage my deck?

No, if done correctly. We use low-pressure (500–1,200 PSI) on wood surfaces — far below the 2,000+ PSI that causes splintering. High pressure is only used on concrete and hard surfaces, never on wood or vinyl.

How often should I have my deck cleaned?

Once per year is the standard recommendation for Arkansas’s climate. If your deck is under tree cover (constant leaf and pollen drop) or shaded (less drying time = more mold), every 6–9 months is better.

Can you clean pressure-treated, cedar, and composite decks?

Yes. We adjust chemical concentration and pressure for each material. Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) requires the lightest touch — biodegradable solution and very low pressure only.

Should I seal my deck after cleaning?

Cleaning is the required first step before sealing. A dirty deck won’t absorb stain or sealer properly. We can prep the surface for your contractor or DIY seal — just let us know so we use the appropriate brightener.

Do you clean both sides of a fence?

Yes. Our pricing includes both sides of the fence and hardware like hinges and latches. We walk the full fence line to ensure even coverage.

What areas do you serve for deck and fence cleaning?

We serve all of Central Arkansas including Conway, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Bryant, Cabot, Maumelle, Sherwood, Jacksonville, and surrounding communities.
