Wood fence cleaning

Our soft wash process removes mold, mildew, algae, and grey weathering from wood fences — revealing the lighter, cleaner wood beneath. This is also ideal preparation before staining or sealing, as stain won't bond properly to mold, mildew, or weathered wood.

Vinyl fence cleaning

We remove green algae, black mold streaks, and general grime from vinyl fences, restoring the bright white or original color of your fence panels. We match pressure and cleaning solutions to vinyl to avoid damage.

Where we serve

We serve Portsmouth, Exeter, Dover, Durham, Hampton, Stratham, Lee, Nottingham, Barrington, Rye, North Hampton, Newmarket, and all surrounding Seacoast communities, as well as Southern Maine and the NH Lakes Region.

Fence cleaning cost in NH

Fence cleaning typically runs $150–$350 for a standard residential fence, depending on length, material, and condition. Wood fences with heavy mold or significant grey weathering take more time than a lightly soiled vinyl fence. Fence cleaning bundles well with deck cleaning or house washing — ask about combining services when you request your estimate.

Timing fence cleaning with staining

If you're planning to stain or seal a wood fence, clean it first — and allow 48–72 hours of drying time before applying any finish. Spring cleaning gives the wood time to dry before staining season gets underway. Applying stain over mold, mildew, or grey weathered wood is one of the most common reasons stain peels prematurely. A proper clean ensures the stain penetrates and bonds the way it's supposed to.

FAQs

Can you clean my fence before I stain it?
Yes — and you should. Stain won't bond to mold, mildew, or grayed wood. Cleaning down to bare, open wood grain is essential for stain to penetrate and last.
My wood fence has turned grey — can cleaning fix that?
Professional cleaning removes biological growth and the weathered surface layer, revealing lighter wood beneath. The difference is often dramatic — especially when followed with a fresh stain or sealer.
How long does a fence cleaning take?
Most residential fences take 1–2 hours. Longer fences or those with heavy buildup take more time. We'll give you a time estimate along with your price quote so you can plan accordingly.
