Fence washing in Atlanta, GA
Atlanta fences take a beating - oak pollen, humidity-fed mildew, red Georgia clay splashing during thunderstorms, sun damage, and the dingy gray weathering that makes even well-built fences look neglected. Since 2014, Alexus Pressure Washing has restored thousands of Atlanta fences - cedar privacy, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, decorative metal, and wrought iron. We coordinate with neighbors for shared fence lines, work carefully around landscaping, and use appropriate technique for each material so your fence comes out looking sharp without damage. Fence washing starts at $249 per side.
Wood fence cleaning and restoration
Wood fences are the most common privacy fence in Atlanta, and they're the ones that need the most care. Cedar, pressure-treated pine, and other wood species develop a gray weathered surface from UV exposure and humidity within just a couple of years - the same wood-fiber breakdown that grays out decks. They also collect mildew and algae growth, especially on shaded sides and along the bottom where moisture lingers and ground splash hits. We clean wood fences with deck-safe pressure (lower than what we'd use on concrete) and wood-appropriate cleaners that strip the gray surface and lift mildew without damaging the wood. The result is a fence that looks fresh and even-toned, ready for stain or sealer if you want one (or just left natural to develop a fresh patina). We can also clean fences that are already stained or sealed - we use gentler methods to preserve the existing finish while removing dirt, pollen, and surface contamination. Most Atlanta wood fences benefit from cleaning every 2-3 years, with restain or reseal at the same time. Wood fence cleaning starts at $249 per side - the 'per side' pricing is because fences usually have two faces (yours and your neighbor's) and we work efficiently when both sides are cleaned in one visit (we coordinate with neighbors for shared fence cleaning).
Vinyl fence cleaning and stain removal
Vinyl fencing is popular in newer Atlanta subdivisions because it's marketed as low-maintenance - and that's mostly true compared to wood. But vinyl still develops staining over time, especially from organic growth, oak pollen, dirt splash from rain, and the green algae that develops on shaded sections of any white or light-colored vinyl. The texture of vinyl fence panels also traps dirt that ordinary garden hose pressure won't remove. We use gentle vinyl-safe cleaning with appropriate detergents that lift embedded stains and organic growth without scratching or dulling the surface. Most vinyl fences come back to near-original appearance with a single proper cleaning. For stubborn green algae streaks on shaded sections, we use mildewcide treatments that kill the growth at the root so it doesn't return in two weeks. Vinyl fence cleaning starts at $249 per side and is typically faster than wood since there's no brightening or sealing prep work needed. Pair vinyl fence cleaning with house washing for a one-visit refresh.
Decorative metal, wrought iron, and aluminum fencing
Decorative metal fencing - aluminum, steel, and wrought iron - is common around Atlanta pool enclosures, ornamental garden borders, and high-end residential properties (especially in Buckhead, Johns Creek, and Milton estates). These fences face their own challenges: rust spots from any exposed steel, oxidation that dulls aluminum, paint adhesion issues from sun exposure, and the same organic growth that affects every Atlanta exterior surface. We clean decorative metal with appropriate pressure and pH-neutral cleaners that lift dirt and oxidation without damaging factory paint finishes. Rust spots get specific treatment - we use rust-removal solutions on visible spots and recommend touch-up paint or refinishing for severely affected sections. Wrought iron fences with ornate detail get hand-worked sections where machine cleaning can't reach. We're careful around landscaping that grows through ornamental fencing, around any electrical components in gate operators, and around the paint finishes that make decorative fencing look high-end. Decorative metal fence cleaning starts at $249 per side.
Atlanta fence washing pricing and coordination
Honest pricing for residential fence washing across metro Atlanta. Wood privacy fence starts at $249 per side. Vinyl fence starts at $249 per side. Decorative metal fence starts at $249 per side. The 'per side' pricing makes sense because fences usually have two faces - yours and your neighbor's - and most homeowners only need their own side cleaned. For shared fence lines, we coordinate with neighbors and often offer combined pricing when both sides are cleaned in one visit. We also work with HOA fence-cleaning programs and can coordinate multi-home fence projects in your neighborhood for volume pricing. Special situations: very long fence runs are quoted on linear footage, gates with hardware are cleaned at no extra charge, fences with extensive vine growth need vegetation cleared first (we can refer landscape help). Fence cleaning typically pairs well with house washing - we're already at your home and set up, so adding the fence is efficient. Free estimates on every fence cleaning request.
How much does fence washing cost in Atlanta?
Wood privacy fences start at $249 per side, vinyl at $249 per side, and decorative metal at $249 per side. The 'per side' pricing reflects that fences have two faces and most homeowners need just their own side cleaned. Shared fence lines can be cleaned both sides with neighbor coordination at a combined discount.
Will pressure washing damage my wood fence?
Not when done properly. Wood fences need lower pressure than concrete or vinyl siding to avoid gouging or splintering the wood. We use deck-safe pressure paired with wood-appropriate cleaners that lift mildew and weathering without damaging the underlying wood. Aggressive DIY pressure washing is one of the most common ways homeowners damage their wood fences.
Do you clean both sides of a fence?
We clean whichever side(s) you ask us to. Most homeowners want their own side cleaned. For shared fence lines, we can coordinate with your neighbors and offer combined pricing when we do both sides in one visit. We work courteously and quietly so neighbor coordination is easy.
How often should I have my Atlanta fence cleaned?
Most Atlanta wood fences benefit from cleaning every 2-3 years, with restain or reseal at the same time. Vinyl fences typically need cleaning every 2 years to handle organic growth. Decorative metal fences need annual cleaning if they're near landscaping or in shaded areas where moisture lingers.
Can you remove green algae from my vinyl fence?
Yes. The green or black algae streaks common on white or light-colored vinyl are caused by organic growth thriving in Atlanta's humidity. We use mildewcide treatments that kill the growth at the root so it doesn't come right back. Most vinyl fences come back to near-original appearance with a single proper cleaning.
Do you remove rust from metal fencing?
Yes - we use rust-removal solutions on visible rust spots on decorative metal, wrought iron, and aluminum fencing. For severely affected sections where rust has penetrated the metal, we recommend touch-up paint or professional refinishing after cleaning. We're careful around factory paint finishes throughout the process.
