Most people conclude their fence needs replacing when it actually needs washing. Grey weathered wood is a surface layer of oxidation and mildew sitting on top of perfectly sound timber, and the difference between a cleaned fence and a replaced fence is usually a few thousand dollars.
What fence cleaning actually involves
Wood is the easiest surface to permanently damage with a pressure washer, so fences get treated closer to soft washing than pressure washing. A cleaning solution is applied to kill mildew and lift the oxidised grey layer, given time to work, then rinsed at low pressure with the fan held at a consistent distance and moving with the grain. That last detail is what prevents the furred, fuzzy texture and the visible lap marks you see on fences cleaned by someone in a hurry. Both sides get done unless the neighbour situation makes that impossible.
Why it matters
Mildew and algae hold moisture against wood permanently, and constantly damp timber is what actually rots. Clean wood dries between rains; colonised wood does not. Beyond the structural argument, if you plan to stain or seal, the surface has to be clean and open first. Stain applied over mildew and oxidation will not bond and will fail within a season, which means paying for the same job twice.

How it works
Straightforward. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch.
Check the Timber
I check for rot, loose boards, and failing posts first. If a section genuinely needs replacing I will tell you rather than washing it and letting you find out later.
Treat + Dwell
Cleaning solution applied to kill mildew and release the oxidised grey layer, given proper dwell time so the rinse can stay gentle.
Low-Pressure Rinse
Rinsed with the grain at consistent distance and pressure. This is what avoids the furring and lap marks that ruin a fence permanently.
One operator. Owner-run since 2018.
A fence cleaned at driveway pressure is a fence you will be replacing sooner than you needed to. High pressure tears out the soft summer growth between the harder grain lines, leaving a furry surface that holds more dirt and moisture than it did before, so it looks worse faster. Doing it properly takes longer and costs about the same, and the fence lasts.
