Wood & Vinyl Fence Pressure Washing in San Jose
Is your backyard fence looking dark, green, or weathered gray? Over time, moisture breeds algae and mold while sunlight oxidizes timber boards. Our professional fence washing lifts years of organic stains and dirt, restoring original wood tones and vinyl brightness without gouging the surface.
Common Fence Issues We Clean & Restore
Property boundary fences suffer constant exposure to shade, rain, and sun. Here is what our fence washing service removes:
Green Algae & Black Mildew
Shaded fence lines accumulate green algae and black mold spores during damp Bay Area winters. We sanitize organic growth so it doesn’t rot the timber boards.
Gray Sun Oxidation
California UV exposure turns natural cedar and redwood a dull, weathered gray. Our wood brighteners strip away dead wood fibers to reveal fresh, warm timber beneath.
Sprinkler Water Stains
Lawn sprinklers spray mineral-heavy tap water onto fence pickets, leaving chalky white hard-water deposits. Our specialized wash lifts mineral lines effortlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will high water pressure damage my wooden fence?
No! Blasting wood with high pressure causes fuzzy, splintered wood grain. We use a low-pressure soft wash method combined with professional wood cleaners to dissolve dirt and mold safely without damaging the timber surface.
Can you clean vinyl and PVC fences as well as wood?
Yes. Vinyl fences collect heavy black mildew and green algae in shaded yards. Our low-pressure detergent wash restores white vinyl fences to a bright, like-new shine without scratching the plastic finish.
Should I have my fence cleaned before applying sealant or stain?
Absolutely. Applying sealant over dirty or mildewed wood traps mold beneath the coating, causing premature peeling and dark rot. A thorough cleaning is mandatory before any stain or sealer application.
