Deck & Patio Restoration
Wood and composite, brought back from grey.
The Job
What we actually do.
Decks need care, not a beating. We soft-wash wood and composite with a wood-safe percarbonate cleaner that lifts mildew, tannin and weathering without fuzzing the grain or stripping the wood fibre. The result: a deck that's ready for stain or sealant the same week.
Our Process
A repeatable, no-shortcuts method.
Pre-rinse & treat
Saturate the deck and apply a wood-safe oxygen-based cleaner to break down mildew, algae and grey weathering.
Soft wash, never blast
Low pressure (under 1000 PSI) with the right tip distance — cleans deep without fuzzing the grain or carving lines.
Brighten
Optional oxalic-acid brightener neutralizes the cleaner and restores the warm natural wood tone.
Stain-ready
We tell you the exact dry-time before staining or sealing so you don't trap moisture under your finish.
Why HydroPulse
Why homeowners pick us.
Wood-safe chemistry
Standard driveway detergent strips the soft wood fibre and leaves your deck fuzzy. We use percarbonate — gentle on wood, brutal on mildew.
Composite-rated technique
Trex, TimberTech and others have specific cleaning specs. We follow them so we don't void your manufacturer warranty.
Stain-ready handoff
Most crews leave the deck clean but not ready. We tell you exactly when to stain so the finish actually bonds.

FAQ
Common questions.
Will pressure washing ruin my deck?
It can — if done with the wrong tip and distance. Soft washing with the right chemistry cleans deeper than high pressure without any damage.
Can you clean composite decks like Trex?
Yes. We use low pressure and a composite-safe cleaner that meets the manufacturer's care guidelines.
How soon can I stain after?
Typically 48–72 hours of dry weather. We'll give you a specific recommendation based on your wood and the forecast.
