Wood surfaces take a beating in the Midwest—sun fades color, moisture feeds algae, and weathered boards can look dull or uneven. Our wood restoration service is designed to clean and protect wood the right way, without the damage that can come from blasting with high pressure.
We restore decks, fences, log cabins, and other exterior wood by removing organic growth and surface weathering and prepping the wood for an even finish. The goal is cleaner-looking wood and a better foundation for sealing or staining.
Whether you want a natural, lightly tinted look or a deeper color, we’ll recommend the best stain or sealer approach based on the condition of the wood and how much sun and moisture it gets. The result is stronger curb appeal now and longer-lasting protection over time.
Deck boards and railings collect dirt, algae, and gray oxidation over time—especially in shaded or damp areas. Our deck restoration starts with a thorough cleaning using wood-safe methods to lift grime without gouging the surface.
If your deck has failing stain or uneven color, we can prep the wood so the finish goes on more evenly. We focus on steps, spindles, rails, and high-traffic areas so the entire deck looks consistent.
After proper dry time, we apply a quality sealer or stain to help repel water and reduce UV fading. It’s the best way to extend the life of your deck and keep it looking its best.
A wood fence is one of the first things people notice—and it’s also exposed to sprinklers, soil splash, and full sun. We remove algae, mildew, and surface discoloration to restore a cleaner, more uniform look.
Our fence restoration approach is tough on buildup but gentle on wood. That helps reduce the risk of surface damage and creates a better base for sealing or staining.
Once dry, sealing or staining helps slow future graying and improves water resistance. The result is a fence that looks sharper now and stays protected longer.
Log cabins and log homes require specialized care. Dirt, mildew, and UV exposure can dull the finish and make logs look dark, blotchy, or worn.
We clean using methods that respect the wood—removing buildup without harsh, high-pressure damage. This helps restore a more natural tone and prepares the surface for protection.
After cleaning and dry time, we can apply a stain/sealer system that helps resist moisture and sun exposure. It’s a smart way to protect your investment and maintain curb appeal.
Wood siding, cedar shake, and exterior trim can develop green algae, mildew, and gray weathering over time. Our cleaning process refreshes the look without the risks of aggressive pressure washing.
We aim for safe, even cleaning so the surface looks consistent from top to bottom—especially around trim, corners, and shaded areas where growth is common.
If you’re planning to stain or recoat, proper cleaning and prep is the foundation for a finish that lasts. We’ll help you get the surface ready for the next step.
If your deck or fence has been stained before, the best results come from choosing the right maintenance approach. Some surfaces need only careful washing; others need more prep when the old finish is peeling or patchy.
We believe a clean exterior makes a lasting impression. Our mission is to help homeowners and businesses protect and enhance their properties with professional pressure washing and exterior cleaning services.
We evaluate the current stain condition and clean accordingly, with the goal of keeping the wood looking even and avoiding unnecessary damage to the existing finish.
Once the surface is clean and dry, we can recommend the next step—maintenance coat, spot prep, or a full restoration—so your stain looks consistent and performs well.

Not when it’s done correctly. Wood restoration isn’t about blasting with high pressure—it’s about using the right method for the surface to remove algae, grime, and weathering while protecting the wood. We adjust our approach based on the condition and type of wood to get results safely.
It depends on the condition of the existing finish. If the stain is peeling, patchy, or failing, prep work may be needed so the new finish looks even and lasts longer. If the stain is still in good shape, a maintenance approach may be a better fit. We’ll recommend the best option after seeing the wood.
Dry time depends on temperature, humidity, sun exposure, and the wood itself. In many cases, wood needs at least 24–48 hours to dry after cleaning, and sometimes longer. We plan projects around the weather so the finish bonds properly.
Longevity varies based on sun exposure, foot traffic, sprinklers, and the type of finish. Decks usually need maintenance more often than fences because they take more wear. We’ll help you choose the right product and a maintenance timeline that fits your property.
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the work area and a water source (and any gates are unlocked), we can complete most jobs while you’re away. We’ll confirm details beforehand and follow up when the work is complete.
