FENCE CLEANING

Minimal preparation is needed. Remove or cover lawn furniture, decorations, and loose items near the fence line. Trim back plants and vegetation touching the fence to give us working space. Let us know about any weak boards, loose sections, or delicate areas. Close windows and doors. Otherwise, we’ll handle the cleaning safely and carefully.

Buffalo fences benefit from cleaning every 1-2 years depending on fence material and weather exposure. Wood fences need regular cleaning to prevent mildew and mold in our humid, lake-effect climate. Vinyl fences need less frequent cleaning but still benefit from annual attention. Regular maintenance prevents staining and extends your fence’s lifespan.

Fence cleaning costs depend on fence length, material type, and stain severity. Most projects range from $150 to $500 depending on whether it’s wood or vinyl and how much buildup is present. A typical Buffalo residential fence falls in the $250-$350 range. We provide free estimates with material assessment, so you know the exact cost.

Most fence cleaning jobs take 2-5 hours depending on fence length, height, material, and stain buildup. Wood fences take longer than vinyl due to different cleaning requirements. We adjust pressure and techniques based on fence material to prevent damage. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate during your free quote.

Professional fence cleaning uses the right pressure and techniques for your specific material—wood requires lower pressure, vinyl can handle more. We prevent damage that happens with improper DIY pressure washing. We know how to remove mildew, mold, and stains safely. Professionals deliver better results and protect your fence investment.

Wood and vinyl fences require different cleaning approaches. Wood fences need lower pressure (around 500-1200 PSI) and a gentle soft wash with specialized solutions to remove mold, mildew, and algae without damaging the grain or forcing water into the wood. Vinyl fences can handle slightly higher pressure and respond well to our soft wash detergents that break down green buildup and oxidation. Wood fences may also benefit from sealing or staining after cleaning, while vinyl just needs a thorough rinse. We adjust our technique, pressure, and cleaning solutions based on your specific fence material to get the best results without any damage.

After cleaning, we recommend discussing protective treatments for your fence. Wood fences benefit from sealant or stain to protect against Western New York’s harsh winters and moisture. Vinyl fences benefit from periodic resealing to maintain appearance. Regular cleaning combined with protective treatments extends your fence’s lifespan and keeps it looking great.
