DECK & FENCE STAINING

Deck & Fence Staining in Northern Virginia

Two-step service — wash the wood (soft wash, not pressure, on most decks and fences), then stain or seal. Pure cleaning of a deck without staining can fall under soft washing; the staining workflow is its own line because it's a multi-day job with material selection.

What we wash, how we wash it

Each surface gets the right tool. We tell you which before we start.

Surface Method
Pressure-treated pine deck Soft wash + stain (semi-trans or solid)
Cedar deck Soft wash + clear sealer or cedar-tone stain
Redwood deck Soft wash + UV-protective stain
Wood fence (PT pickets) Soft wash + sealer
Composite decking specialty Soft wash CLEAN ONLY — never stain (factory finish)

Specialty surfaces get a pre-wash walk-through before any spray. We point them out, explain the chemistry, and tell you if we'll skip a surface entirely. See our protocol for what we won't wash.

How it works

  1. Walk the wood with you, identify rot or damage

  2. Soft-wash to remove dirt, gray fibers, and old failing finish

  3. Let the wood dry 24–48 hours

  4. Apply stain or sealer (semi-transparent / solid, owner choice)

  5. Walk-through after final coat dries

What customers say about this work

  • Google
    "I have used George's Power Washing on four or five separate occasions over the past ten years, and was more than impressed with the results each time. George has power washed three stories of siding on the side and back of my townhouse, the brick façade and stoop, and my deck."

    "This is clearly a small business class act. George is the owner and was prompt, courteous and cleaned the exterior of my entire house using state-of-the-art power washing equipment using an organic/environmentally-friendly cleaning solution. Rita runs the front office and quickly answers all email/questions."
