Deck cleaning & fence restoration in Halifax, NS

Most standard-sized decks (approx. 200–300 sq. ft.) with moderate organic growth typically range from $350 to $500.

Please note: To maintain our professional standard of care, we have a $350 minimum service visit. Because smaller decks may fall below this threshold, many clients maximize their value by bundling a deck wash with a house wash or window cleaning to receive a multi-service discount.

What factors drive the cost of deck cleaning?
Several variables determine the final quote:

• Material: Wood (pressure-treated, cedar) requires different cleaning agents and dwell times than composite materials like Trex.
• Organic Growth: Heavy moss, lichen, or deep-seated black mould requires a more intensive treatment than light surface algae.
• Accessibility: We factor in whether the deck is a simple ground-level platform or a multi-story structure with stairs and railings.
• Surrounding Vegetation: We invest extra time in protecting the landscaping and gardens often found directly adjacent to decks.

No, deck pressure cleaning can damage wood by stripping away its surface and causing splintering. At ProCare Halifax, we never use harsh pressure on decks. Instead, we use a soft wash or low-pressure power wash, combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions, to safely lift dirt, algae, and mildew without harming the surface.

Absolutely. Regular deck cleaning not only improves curb appeal but also helps extend the life of your decking by removing harmful buildup like algae, mold, and dirt. It’s a smart investment in your outdoor space.

Most decks stay clean for 12–24 months, depending on sun exposure, nearby trees, and moisture levels. Homes near the coast or in shady areas may need annual cleanings for best results.

The best time to wash your deck in Halifax is during the spring or early summer, when the weather is mild and your deck is ready for outdoor use. Fall is also a great time to clean and protect it before winter sets in. ProCare Halifax offers flexible scheduling so you can get the most out of your outdoor space, no matter the season.

Yes. We use a soft wash process that’s perfect for composite, Trex, and vinyl decks. No splintering, no etching, just a fresh, clean finish without damage.
