About This Service

Your deck or patio is an extension of your living space—a place for summer BBQs, family gatherings, and relaxing evenings. But Chicago's weather takes a toll on outdoor surfaces, leaving them covered in algae, mildew, and gray weathering that makes them look neglected and can create slippery, unsafe conditions.

Our professional deck and patio cleaning service uses carefully calibrated pressure and specialized cleaning solutions appropriate for each material. Wood decks require gentle handling to avoid damage, while concrete patios can withstand more aggressive cleaning. Our technicians assess your surface and tailor their approach accordingly.

The results speak for themselves. Gray, weathered wood transforms back to its natural warm tones. Slippery green patios become safe and inviting again. Many customers are so pleased with the results that they decide against the expense of replacement they were considering.

For wood decks, our cleaning also prepares the surface perfectly for staining or sealing. Clean wood absorbs stain evenly, resulting in a more beautiful and longer-lasting finish. We can even apply stain or sealant as an add-on service if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
