Clean Fencing That Looks Cared For

Fence cleaning services that remove dirt, algae, and weathering to restore curb appeal and wood appearance.

Fences accumulate dirt, pollen, mold, and algae from ground splash, irrigation overspray, and weather exposure. Over time, this buildup discolors the wood and creates dark streaks along lower panels and post bases. New Wave Property Services cleans fencing to restore its original appearance and remove organic growth that causes wood degradation.

The cleaning process addresses both horizontal and vertical surfaces, including pickets, rails, posts, and gates. A cleaning agent is applied to loosen embedded grime, followed by controlled washing that removes stains without stripping the wood or damaging fasteners. The service works on privacy fences, picket fences, and decorative perimeter fencing.

If your fence shows discoloration or green streaks along the base, contact New Wave Property Services to discuss what cleaning can accomplish.

We also offer screen cleaning and window sill cleaning!

What Changes After Cleaning Your Fence

New Wave Property Services treats each section of fencing with attention to post caps, trim, and hardware. The equipment removes algae from shaded areas where moisture lingers and lifts dirt that has soaked into the grain over multiple seasons.

Once the work is complete, you will see uniform color across all panels, with dark streaks and green patches removed. The wood grain becomes visible again, and the surface feels dry and textured rather than slimy or soft. If you plan to stain or seal the fence, cleaning provides a clean surface that allows the finish to penetrate evenly and last longer.

The service includes rinsing surrounding areas such as walkways, grass, and landscaping beds to prevent cleaning agents from drying on nearby surfaces. Fences typically dry within one to two days depending on sun exposure and humidity levels.

Common concerns before scheduling fence cleaning

Homeowners often ask how the cleaning process works on different fence styles and what results to expect based on the current condition of the wood.

What types of fencing can be cleaned?
Fence cleaning works on wood, composite, vinyl, and painted fencing. Each material requires different pressure settings and cleaning agents to avoid damage while removing buildup.
How does cleaning affect stained or sealed fences?
Cleaning removes dirt and algae without stripping stain or sealer that is still intact. If the finish is already peeling or faded, cleaning may expose bare wood underneath, which is a sign the fence needs refinishing.
Will cleaning remove all stains and discoloration?
Cleaning removes most surface stains caused by mold, algae, dirt, and tannin bleed. Deep stains from rust, dye, or prolonged water damage may remain visible even after cleaning.
How long does fence cleaning take?
Cleaning time depends on linear footage, fence height, and condition. A typical residential privacy fence takes a few hours to complete, including setup and rinse down.
What should I do to prepare for fence cleaning?
Clear items near the fence such as planters, furniture, and hoses. If you have plants along the fence line, let New Wave Property Services know so they can take steps to protect them during cleaning.

New Wave Property Services schedules fence cleaning around your property layout and project needs. If you are preparing to sell, refinish, or simply want to restore your fence's appearance, reach out to discuss timing and what the service includes.
