Deck, fence and paver cleaning in Elgin, SC
Elgin is the newer neighborhoods along the Kershaw County line, with a Catfish Stomp every December and a lot of new vinyl facing the pines. Out back we see new wood fences and decks in their first few years, and wood is the surface a pressure washer ruins fastest. We clean it with a cleaner that lifts the gray and the mildew, a brightener that brings the color back, and only as much pressure as the wood can take. We cover Two Notch Road, the I-20 side, Elgin Main Street and everything between.
Included in every deck and fence job
Decks, fences, pergolas, steps and pavers, each cleaned at the pressure it can take.
- Cleaned, not stripped. A wood cleaner lifts the gray and the mildew, and the rinse is gentle enough to leave the grain flat.
- Brightened so the wood returns to its natural color instead of drying pale.
- Fences both sides where we can reach them, including the neighbor-facing side you never see.
- Pavers cleaned and re-sanded so the joints lock back in after the wash.
- Sealing on request, quoted separately once the wood has dried.
- Insured work, certificate sent to you or your HOA on request.
Wood in Elgin weather
Elgin wood has the humidity in subdivisions cut into the pines to contend with, so new wood fences and decks in their first few years gray out fast and grow mildew on the shaded boards. The fix is chemistry first, then a low-pressure rinse, never pressure alone.
Then the wood gets brightened. Cleaners leave wood looking pale and slightly bleached. A brightener neutralizes that and the natural color comes back, which is the difference between a deck that looks clean and a deck that looks new.
Not everything in an Elgin back yard is wood. Composite gets low pressure and its own cleaner, vinyl fencing gets a soft wash and comes up white, and pavers take more pressure followed by fresh joint sand.
Shade from the pines left standing between the houses keeps some boards damp longer than others, so the shaded end of a deck or the bottom of a fence line gets extra attention before the rinse.

Questions we get asked
Will you stain or seal it too?
Sealing is quoted separately once the wood is clean and dry. Staining is best left to a painter, and we are happy to say who we would use.
How long before a deck in Elgin grays again?
A cleaned and brightened deck holds its color a year or two. Boards in shade gray and green sooner, and sealing stretches the time either way.
Do you work in the newer neighborhoods off Smyrna Road and Kelly Mill?
Yes. The newer subdivisions off Smyrna Road and Kelly Mill are inside the area we cover, along with the rest of Elgin.
