The Service
What Does Professional Deck & Fence Cleaning Involve in Central Texas?
Professional deck and fence cleaning in Central Texas combines calibrated water pressure with biodegradable cleaning solutions to strip algae, mold, mildew, and UV-bleached gray from wood, composite, and vinyl surfaces. The process restores natural color and grain without gouging, splintering, or forcing moisture into the material.
Central Texas homeowners deal with a unique combination of climate stressors that accelerate outdoor wood deterioration. With average humidity above 75% for most of the year and more than 200 sunny days annually, decks and fences face a relentless cycle: moisture fuels algae and mildew colonization on shaded surfaces, while direct UV exposure bleaches exposed grain to a weathered gray.
Cedar fences throughout the Heights, Garden Oaks, and Montrose develop a thick green film within 12 to 18 months of installation. The algae holds moisture against the wood, speeding rot and attracting carpenter ants. Meanwhile, the south-facing boards bleach to silver-gray while north-facing boards turn green — leaving the fence looking uneven from the street.
R&J Clean Exteriors adjusts pressure and cleaning chemistry for each material. Soft woods like cedar get 600 to 800 PSI with an oxygenated solution. Harder surfaces like composite decking receive a gentler detergent wash at lower pressure. The result is a surface that looks like the day it was installed — grain visible, color restored, ready for optional staining or sealing to extend the clean. Deck and fence cleaning near me in Central Texas is one of our most-requested services across the Central Texas metro.
We serve all of Central Texas including Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, The Woodlands, Spring, Cypress, and League City. Every deck and fence cleaning job includes a free material assessment, transparent pricing, and our satisfaction guarantee.

Surface Types
Which Deck and Fence Materials Can R&J Clean Exteriors Clean?
We clean five major material categories found across Central Texas properties: cedar, pressure-treated pine, composite and Trex decking, vinyl PVC fencing, and wrought iron. Each material requires a different pressure range, cleaning solution, and technique to avoid damage while delivering a thorough clean.
Cedar
Central Texas's most popular fence wood. We use low-pressure soft washing at 600-800 PSI to lift embedded algae without raising the grain. Cedar fences across the Heights and Garden Oaks respond well to our oxygenated cleaning solution.
Pine (Pressure-Treated)
Pressure-treated pine decks and fences are common throughout Central Texas. We clean at 800-1,200 PSI — strong enough to remove green buildup but gentle enough to preserve the treatment layer that resists rot and termites.
Composite & Trex
Composite decking in newer Katy and Sugar Land developments collects mold in textured surfaces. We use soft washing with manufacturer-approved solutions — never abrasive pressure — to avoid voiding warranties or dulling the finish.
Vinyl PVC
Vinyl fences turn dingy fast in Central Texas humidity. Our soft wash at 400-600 PSI paired with a sodium percarbonate solution restores the original white without scratching, yellowing, or warping the panels.
Wrought Iron
Iron fences and railings need controlled pressure to strip rust scale and oxidation without chipping existing paint or protective coatings. We clean at 1,200-1,500 PSI and spot-treat rust with a phosphoric acid converter.
Our Process
How Does R&J Clean Exteriors Clean Decks and Fences Without Causing Damage?
Our four-step process starts with a material assessment to determine the right pressure and solution, followed by pre-treatment, controlled cleaning, and optional staining or sealing. Every step is calibrated to the specific surface to prevent splintering, grain damage, and moisture intrusion.
1
Material Assessment
We identify the surface type, age, existing finish, and condition. Cedar, pine, composite, vinyl, and iron each demand different pressure thresholds and chemistry.
2
Pressure & Solution Selection
Soft woods get 500 to 1,200 PSI with oxygenated detergent. Composites receive low-pressure surfactant wash. Vinyl uses sodium percarbonate. Iron gets controlled high-pressure with rust converter pre-treatment.
3
Cleaning Execution
We work in consistent overlapping passes — with the grain on wood, panel by panel on vinyl — to ensure even results. Adjacent landscaping and hardscape are rinsed before and after treatment.
4
Seal or Stain (Optional)
After drying 48 to 72 hours, we apply penetrating oil-based sealer or semi-transparent stain. This step blocks Central Texas UV and moisture for 2 to 3 years, extending the time before your next cleaning.
FAQ
What Do Central Texas Homeowners Ask About Deck & Fence Cleaning?
These are the questions we hear most from homeowners across the Heights, Katy, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands. If your question isn't listed here, call us at (254) 346-0412 or send a message through our contact form.
How much does deck and fence cleaning cost in Central Texas?
Most residential deck and fence cleaning jobs in Central Texas range from $150 to $500, depending on square footage, material type, and condition. A standard 200-square-foot deck typically runs $175 to $300. Fences are priced per linear foot, usually $1.00 to $2.50. We provide free on-site estimates with exact pricing before any work begins.
Can pressure washing damage my wood deck or fence?
Yes — if done incorrectly. High-pressure water (above 1,500 PSI) can splinter soft woods like cedar and pine, gouge the grain, and force water deep into the wood. R&J Clean Exteriors adjusts pressure based on material. We use 500 to 1,200 PSI for wood surfaces combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions that break down algae and mildew without brute force.
How often should I have my deck and fence cleaned in Central Texas?
In Central Texas, we recommend cleaning decks and fences every 12 to 18 months. Our 75% average humidity and 200+ sunny days per year accelerate algae growth, mildew colonization, and UV bleaching faster than drier climates. Properties near bayous or with heavy tree canopy may need cleaning every 10 to 12 months.
Does R&J Clean Exteriors offer staining or sealing after cleaning?
Yes. After cleaning, we offer optional staining and sealing as an add-on service. Sealing protects wood from moisture absorption, slows algae regrowth, and blocks UV damage. We use penetrating oil-based sealers rated for Central Texas's heat and humidity. Most sealers last 2 to 3 years before reapplication is needed.
