FAQ

Questions We Get All the Time

Have a question? Here are answers to the most common questions we hear from homeowners.

How does Ann Arbor's tree canopy affect my deck?
Ann Arbor's Tree City USA designation means most residential decks sit under heavy shade. This limits sun exposure and traps moisture, which accelerates mold and mildew growth. Fallen leaves also deposit tannins that stain wood surfaces. Professional cleaning removes all of this buildup and helps prevent premature wood deterioration.
Should I have my deck cleaned before football season?
Many Ann Arbor homeowners schedule deck cleaning in late summer to prepare for fall entertaining around Michigan Stadium game days. A clean deck is safer for guests, looks far more inviting, and if you want to re-stain before the season, professional cleaning is a necessary first step for proper stain adhesion.
Do you clean elevated and multi-level decks?
Yes. Ann Arbor properties — particularly those in hilly neighborhoods like Barton Hills and Ann Arbor Hills — often feature elevated or multi-level deck structures. We have the equipment and experience to clean these safely and thoroughly, including stairs, railings, and hard-to-reach undersides.
What is the gray discoloration on my wood deck?
The silvery-gray appearance on wood decks is caused by UV exposure breaking down the wood's lignin fibers, combined with moisture damage and mildew colonization. Our cleaning process removes this damaged surface layer and restores the wood's natural tone, making it ready for a fresh coat of stain or sealant.
How often should I have my deck cleaned?
We recommend professional deck cleaning once a year for most decks in the Ann Arbor area. Decks under heavy tree canopy or near the Huron River may benefit from cleaning every 8-10 months due to faster organic growth.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes! We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all of our services. Call us at 734-469-0192 or fill out our contact form to get started.
Local Service

Built for the Ann Arbor Area

A local exterior cleaning company serving Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County — we know the homes, the climate, and the challenges that come with maintaining properties in southeastern Michigan.

Communities & Neighborhoods We Serve

Our core service area covers Ann Arbor and its distinctive neighborhoods including Burns Park, Old West Side, Ann Arbor Hills, Barton Hills, and Kerrytown. We also serve homeowners near Nichols Arboretum, Gallup Park, and the U-M campus area.

We also serve the surrounding communities of Saline, Ypsilanti, Dexter, Chelsea, Milan, Manchester, Tecumseh, and Dundee — along with the surrounding townships throughout Washtenaw County. Whether you're in a downtown neighborhood or on acreage, we come to you with our full equipment setup.

Why Ann Arbor Decks Need Regular Cleaning

Ann Arbor's Tree City USA canopy drops leaves, pollen, sap, and seed pods onto deck surfaces constantly. Heavy shade traps moisture, accelerating mold and mildew growth. Football Saturdays and tailgate season mean heavy foot traffic on decks near Michigan Stadium.

Michigan freeze-thaw cycles cause wood to expand, contract, and trap moisture that leads to cracking and splintering. Regular professional cleaning preserves wood integrity, extends your deck's lifespan, and keeps your outdoor living space safe and inviting year-round.

Decking Materials We Clean

Pressure-treated pine is the most common decking material in the Ann Arbor area and requires careful pressure to avoid grain damage. Cedar and redwood decks have natural oils that require gentler solutions and lower pressure. We also clean composite decking from Trex, TimberTech, Azek, and other manufacturers using specific cleaning agents and no high pressure.

Hardwood decking like ipe and mahogany gets a specialized approach to preserve the dense grain. We clean painted and stained surfaces without stripping the existing finish unless desired. Pressure and technique are calibrated for each material to deliver the best results without damage.

Commercial & Property Management

We clean decks and outdoor spaces for U-M campus rental properties, restaurant and bar outdoor seating areas, and multi-family housing balconies throughout Ann Arbor. Property management companies trust us for consistent, reliable results across their portfolios.

We also offer stain prep services for investment properties and volume pricing for property managers with multiple units. Whether you need a single deck cleaned or an entire complex serviced, we have the equipment and capacity to handle it.
