💡 Pro tip: If you're planning to treat or stain, always pressure wash first. Clean wood absorbs treatment properly - dirty wood doesn't.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you wash all fence types?
Most yes - standard panels, featherboard, close-board. Very old or damaged fences may not withstand pressure. We assess condition first.
Will pressure washing damage my fence?
Can if done wrong. We use appropriate pressure for the fence condition. Gentle enough to clean without damaging the wood. Old rotting wood is more vulnerable.
Should I treat the fence after washing?
Recommended. Clean wood absorbs treatment better. Stain, oil, or preservative last longer when applied to properly cleaned surfaces.
How long until I can treat after washing?
Needs to dry properly - usually 2-3 dry days depending on weather. Applying treatment to wet wood gives poor results.
