When we handle deck restoration & staining for cedar in your area, it comes down to three things: protecting your plants and property, cleaning with the right method, and walking the job with you at the end. On cedar, the method we use is low-pressure wash.

How we clean it

Low-pressure washCleaning method
Usually 500-800 PSI; cedar is soft and marks easilyPressure

Cleaning solution: A wood cleaner and brightener suited to cedar.

Cleaning cedar safely

Cedar decks and fences turn silver-gray as the surface weathers. Gentle cleaning with a wood cleaner and brightener brings back the color, and a penetrating stain keeps it longer.

Avoid: High pressure, which gouges the soft wood and raises the grain.

How often: Clean yearly; refinish every 2-3 years.

Is it time for deck restoration & staining for cedar?

  • Stain peeling, flaking or worn through in traffic areas
  • Gray wood that soaks up water
  • Cracking, splitting or splinters
  • Black spots that come back after washing

Where the grime comes from

  • UV breaking down the stain and wood surface
  • Film-forming stains that peel instead of wearing
  • Water standing on boards
  • Mildew feeding on old finish

What you can do yourself

  • Do the 'water drop test': if water soaks in instead of beading, the wood needs sealing
  • Replace or fasten loose boards and popped nails first
  • Keep the deck clean between finishes

Why more pressure isn’t better

  • Stain over dirty or damp wood, which peels quickly
  • Stripping with too much pressure
  • Mixing incompatible old and new stains
  • Staining in direct hot sun, which leaves lap marks

Do you use high pressure for deck restoration & staining for cedar?

For cedar: usually 500-800 PSI; cedar is soft and marks easily. What we avoid: high pressure, which gouges the soft wood and raises the grain. The cleaning solution does most of the work, followed by a gentle rinse.

Is deck restoration & staining for cedar safe for my plants and pets?

We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.

How often should I schedule deck restoration & staining for cedar?

Clean yearly; refinish every 2-3 years. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.

What if it rains on the day?

Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
