Texas weather is brutal on outdoor wood and vinyl. Between humidity, pollen, summer storms, and relentless sun, your fence and deck spend every day collecting layers of organic grime — mildew spores in the shade, algae streaks on the north-facing side, gray UV damage on the top, and a film of road dust and pollen everywhere else. Within two or three years, that beautiful cedar fence or pressure-treated deck starts looking dingy, tired, and a decade older than it actually is.
Good news: most of that damage is surface-level. Underneath the gray and green is the same warm wood tone you remember — it just needs to be properly cleaned to show again. That's where SurFast comes in. We don't sand, we don't strip, we don't damage. We use the right pressure, the right technique, and the right cleaning solutions to safely restore your wood and vinyl surfaces so they look freshly built.
Every fence and deck collects the same culprits. Here's what we strip away to reveal the surface underneath.
Black and gray spotting that thrives in shaded, humid spots — especially under tree canopies, beside houses, and on north-facing fence panels.
Slick green film that loves vinyl fences, north-facing wood, and anything that stays damp after sprinklers. Slippery on decks — a real fall hazard.
That faded silver-gray look on the top of fence pickets and deck boards. It's surface oxidation — and a proper wash strips it back to bare warm wood.
A yellow-green layer that builds up every spring across DFW. Hardens into a film that ordinary rinsing won't shift.
Faded, peeling, or blotchy finish that needs to come off before re-staining. We can prep the surface so the new finish goes on evenly.
Behind every fence panel and under every railing. We blast it all away so your outdoor space is genuinely clean — not just visibly clean.
Wood and vinyl react very differently to pressure. Using the wrong setting can splinter a deck board or etch permanent lines into a fence panel. Our crew adjusts pressure, nozzle, and technique for the specific material in front of us.
The most common fence wood in DFW. Naturally rot-resistant but quickly goes gray. We use a soft-wash approach with the right cleaning solution to lift the gray without raising the grain.
The standard for most deck builds and many fences. We dial in pressure carefully — too high and pine fuzzes; too low and the dirt stays. We hit the sweet spot every time.
Trex, TimberTech, and similar boards look indestructible but actually scratch easily under high pressure. We use lower PSI and a fan-tip approach that lifts mildew without leaving streaks or marks.
Algae loves vinyl. We use a low-pressure detergent wash that breaks down the green film and rinses it cleanly off — no need to scrub panel by panel.
Common around DFW pools and front yards. We clean the painted finish carefully and tackle rust spots, oxidation, and built-up grime without damaging the coating.
A controlled, four-stage approach that protects the material while delivering serious results.
We check the wood condition, cover nearby plants, and identify any loose boards or panels that need a gentler touch.
Apply an eco-responsible cleaning solution to break down mildew, algae, and oxidation. We let it dwell so the wash does the work — not the pressure.
Controlled, low-to-medium pressure using the correct nozzle for each material. We work with the wood grain to lift dirt without raising fibers.
Thorough rinse-down to remove every trace of cleaner and lifted debris. We walk the job with you to make sure it meets your standard.
If you're getting ready to stain a fence or refinish a deck, a professional pressure wash is the most important step you can take. New stain only bonds properly to clean, open wood. Apply it over mildew, dirt, or old finish residue and you'll get blotchy results that peel within a year or two.
We can prep your wood specifically for staining: stripping the gray, opening the grain, and leaving the surface evenly textured so the new finish absorbs uniformly. After we're done, allow 48–72 hours of dry weather before applying stain. Many of our customers schedule the wash on a Friday and stain over the weekend.
For most DFW homes, a fence and deck wash every 12–18 months keeps things looking great year-round. North-facing sides and shaded sections tend to develop mildew and algae faster — if you have heavy tree cover or a sprinkler hitting the fence regularly, every 9–12 months is wise.
Sealed and stained surfaces hold up longer between washes, but the protective finish itself typically lasts 2–4 years depending on sun exposure. A good rhythm is: wash annually, re-stain every 3 years. You'll spend less in the long run than letting the wood deteriorate and replacing pickets or deck boards.
