Algae on a deck rail isn't just ugly - it's slippery. And left alone, it works its way into the surface and causes real damage over time. That green buildup you see on so many Florida decks is a combination of moisture, shade, and heat, and it doesn't go away on its own.
We came out to this Lake Mary home and got to work on the full deck and rail system. The rails had heavy green algae growth coating the top cap and running down the sides. The deck boards themselves were grimy and weathered-looking. Not the kind of outdoor space you want to spend time on.
After the wash, the difference is night and day. The rail cap went from yellow-green and grimy to bright, clean white. The deck boards opened back up and actually show their color again. It's the same deck - just clean.
That's what a good deck and rail wash does. It doesn't just make things look better. It removes the biological growth that shortens the life of your surfaces and makes them unsafe to walk on when wet. There's real value in that, beyond just the curb appeal.
If your deck is sitting there looking rough, it's probably been a while. We serve homeowners all across the Lake Mary area, and this kind of work is one of our most requested services - especially heading into the warmer months when everyone wants to actually use their outdoor space again.
