Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Cleaning in Bristol
How often should I have my Bristol deck professionally cleaned?
Most Bristol decks benefit from annual cleaning and sealing due to our region's climate conditions. Decks in heavily wooded or shaded areas may require more frequent service to prevent mold and algae buildup.
Will pressure washing damage my wooden deck?
When performed incorrectly or with excessive pressure, absolutely. Our gentle cleaning techniques and appropriate pressure levels ensure your deck is cleaned effectively without damaging the wood's soft fibers or causing splintering.
How long does deck cleaning take for a typical Bristol deck?
Most standard Bristol decks can be thoroughly cleaned in 2-4 hours, depending on size, condition, and accessibility. Additional time may be needed if sealing services are included.
Do you recommend sealing after deck cleaning?
Yes! We highly recommend sealing your deck after cleaning to protect your investment. Sealing provides essential protection against water damage, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations that can significantly reduce your deck's lifespan.
How long should I wait before using my deck after cleaning and sealing?
For best results, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours after cleaning before sealing, and an additional 24-48 hours after sealing before returning furniture and resuming normal use of your deck.
