Mt. Juliet backyards work hard. Wood decks gray in the sun, fences pick up algae in the shade by the lake, patios collect red clay and leaf stains, and pool decks get slick. American Pressure Washing cleans them all — without splintering wood or damaging the surface underneath.

What we clean: wood decks, composite decks, wood fences, patios in concrete, stone and pavers, pool decks, and pergolas and arbors. Wood, stone and composite each need a different touch: wood gets a gentle wash matched to the species and condition, stone and concrete get a deeper clean, and composite is washed with the right detergents so it is not gouged or scratched.

Wood restoration — the gray isn't permanent. Weathered gray boards and fences usually come back to a warm, natural color with the right wash. Around the lake and in the newer communities, fences take the worst of the shade and moisture, and they respond especially well.

The pool deck is about footing first. Algae and sunscreen film make pool concrete dangerously slick. We clean pool decks so they are safe underfoot, and we recommend a yearly rhythm for pool areas.

Where we wash decks and fences: Providence, the Old Hickory Lake shore, the Mt. Juliet Road / I-40 corridor, and throughout Mt. Juliet.

Questions we hear: Will washing damage my wood deck? No — we match the method to the wood so it cleans without splintering. Can a gray fence be restored? Usually, yes — gray is surface weathering, not rot. Is composite safe to wash? Yes, with the right detergents and low pressure. How often should a pool deck be washed? Yearly, or more often in deep shade. Do I need to be home? No. How do I get a quote?
