Deck Cleaning and Algae Removal in Alexandria, VA

Project Overview

StraightLine Power Washing recently completed a deck cleaning project in Alexandria, VA. The client wanted their deck thoroughly cleaned to remove algae growth and restore it back to the original composite color.

Client Requirements

The client's deck was old and had not been cleaned in a very long time. It had become covered in algae, making it slippery and unsightly, and needed a comprehensive cleaning to make the deck safe and visually appealing for summer use.

Challenges Faced

The primary challenge was the extensive algae growth on the deck surface and in the crevices between the boards. It was essential to remove the algae without damaging the composite material or finish.

Solution and Process

StraightLine Power Washing employed a soft washing technique to clean the deck. We used an eco-friendly algae remover, applying it to the affected areas and allowing it to break down the algae. After sufficient dwell time, we gently rinsed the deck with low-pressure water to remove the algae and cleaning solution without harming the composite deck. Our team also inspected and cleaned the crevices between the boards to ensure all algae were eliminated.

Results

The deck looked revitalized after our cleaning service. All algae were removed, restoring the deck's original appearance and making it safe to use. The client was extremely satisfied with the results and appreciated our careful and thorough approach.

Customer Feedback

Client Feedback: "StraightLine Power Washing did an outstanding job cleaning our deck. The algae is completely gone, and the deck looks beautiful again. The team was professional and took great care with our property. Highly recommend their services!"
