Fence Cleaning
in Akron, Ohio

No—fence cleaning is performed using surface-specific soft washing, not aggressive pressure. The cleaning method is adjusted based on the fence material and condition, and test spots are performed beforehand to ensure no negative reaction. If there’s a risk of damage due to age, rot, or failing paint, the service may be declined to protect your property.

No—fence cleaning is not traditional pressure washing. It uses low-pressure, solution-based cleaning designed to remove organic growth without damaging the surface. This approach is especially important for wood, composite, and painted fences that can be harmed by high pressure.

Yes—the solutions used are biodegradable and applied with strict safety measures. Plants are watered before, during, and after the service to minimize exposure, and customers are asked to keep pets inside while cleaning is underway. Once the service is complete, it’s safe for pets and people to return to the area.

Yes—it’s recommended that pets are kept indoors during the fence cleaning process. This ensures their safety while cleaning solutions are being applied and rinsed. Pets can safely return outside once the service is complete.

If no water access is available, water can be brought in when needed. This is handled on a case-by-case basis and discussed during the estimate process.

The time required depends on the size of the fence, material type, and level of buildup. Some fence cleanings can be completed relatively quickly, while others take longer if there’s heavy organic growth or detailed work required. Each job is evaluated individually.

We recommend clearing items near the fence line, unlocking gates, and ensuring access to water. If there are pets, they should be kept inside during the service. Any specific prep needs will be communicated before your appointment.

After cleaning, no immediate action is required. If you plan to stain or paint the fence, allowing time for the surface to fully dry is recommended. The technician can explain what to expect based on your fence material and condition.

Not always—fences that are rotted, unstable, or have severely peeling paint may be declined. This policy is in place to prevent further damage and protect both the homeowner and the structure. Any concerns are identified and discussed before work begins.

No—fence cleaning improves appearance by removing mold, mildew, and organic buildup, but it does not reverse age or prior neglect. Clear expectations are set before service so you know exactly what results are realistic.
