Fence washing in Atlanta, GA

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 $199 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).

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 intricate 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 $179 per side.
