What Surfaces and Materials
Do We Prepare
for Staining?
We use specialized methods to prepare the following surfaces for deck and fence staining in Delaware:
Pressure-Treated and Natural Wood Decks
We apply biodegradable soap plus 1% sodium hypochlorite, then let the solution sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing under 800 PSI. This lifts mold, mildew, and oxidation without damage.
Cedar
Surfaces
For cedar and pressure-treated wood cleaning, we use only a chemical soak (1% SH mix) with no agitation or high pressure, followed by a light rinse.
Composite and
Alternative Materials
Composite decks rarely need staining, but surfaces that mimic wood may need prep. The method involves applying a light chemical treatment for 3-5 minutes, then rinsing gently.

Our Proven 5-Step
Deck and Fence Stain Prep Process
Professional deck and fence staining in Delaware requires proper preparation for lasting results.
Pre-Service Walkthrough and Inspection
Technicians evaluate the project with you, checking for wood rot, softness, or splitting, then identify areas that won’t benefit from cleaning. We’ll ask you to secure pets and move patio furniture, decor, and potted plants.
Controlled Chemical Application
Next, we apply a biodegradable soap and SH mix (1% to 2%) via a soft wash wood cleaning service system and let it dwell for five to 15 minutes depending on the surface.
Gentle Rinse With Low-Pressure Equipment
All surfaces get rinsed with water under 800 PSI. For cedar and composite materials, we reduce the rinse pressure and make an extra pass for better clarity.
Spot Treatment and Second Application (if needed)
If discoloration or buildup remains, we apply a second chemical treatment at $0.10 per square foot. The crew inspects your railings and stairs for residual grime or oxidation.
Final Walkthrough and Aftercare Recommendations
Technicians review finished surfaces with you, then recommend that you wait 24 to 48 hours before staining or sealing, avoid foot traffic during drying, and schedule yearly or biannual cleanings.
Satisfaction Guarantee
and Safety Commitments
We guarantee 100% satisfaction with a free rework within 24 hours if we miss any spots. Our service doesn’t include staining or sealing. We carry over $1M in liability insurance and focus on wood preservation using gentle cleaning methods.
