Deck Power Washing and Restoration in Alexandria, VA

Project Overview

StraightLine Power Washing recently completed a deck cleaning for a homeowner in Alexandria, VA. Over time, the wooden deck had accumulated dirt, algae, and mildew, making it look dull and slippery. The client wanted a full restoration to bring back the natural beauty of the wood while improving the deck’s safety and longevity.

Client Requirements

The homeowner needed their deck professionally cleaned to remove deep-seated dirt, mildew, and algae that had built up over the years. They wanted a thorough cleaning to prepare the deck for future staining and sealing, ensuring long-term durability.

Challenges Faced

The deck had significant algae and mildew growth, especially in shaded areas. Additionally, some of the wood was delicate, requiring the right pressure level to clean effectively without causing damage.

Solution and Process

StraightLine Power Washing used a low-pressure soft washing technique combined with a specialized cleaning solution to break down and remove algae, mildew, and dirt without harming the wood. After allowing the solution to work, we gently power washed the surface, bringing out the natural grain of the wood and restoring its original appearance.

Results

The deck looked brand new after the cleaning. All algae, mildew, and stains were removed, revealing clean and refreshed wood. The homeowner was extremely happy with the results and planned to stain the deck soon to maintain its restored look.

Customer Feedback

Client Feedback: "StraightLine Power Washing did an incredible job on our deck! It was covered in algae and mildew, but now it looks fresh and clean again. The team was professional and careful with the wood, and we couldn’t be happier!"
