Jacksonville's decks endure constant exposure to sun, salt air, and heavy rainfall. Without proper cleaning, wood becomes gray and splintered while composite materials develop stubborn mildew. Our deck restoration process removes years of wear in a single treatment.
We adjust our approach based on material: traditional wood decks in Riverside's historic homes require gentler cleaning than newer Trex installations in Nocatee. For docks and waterfront properties, we use special techniques to remove barnacle stains and salt residue.
After cleaning, we can apply protective sealants to guard against UV damage - particularly valuable for south-facing decks that get intense Florida sun. This service is often scheduled before major holidays or pool season when homeowners entertain guests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you clean my dock without harming the river ecosystem?
Yes, we use biodegradable cleaners approved for marine environments when working on St. Johns River docks and boathouses. Our team has special training for waterfront properties.
How often should I clean my composite deck?
Even low-maintenance materials need annual cleaning in Jacksonville's climate to prevent permanent staining from pollen and mildew. We recommend scheduling before spring or fall entertaining seasons.
