Algae, dirt, and weathering • Careful surface cleaning
Pressure washing for piers and docks in Hampton Roads
Take the film off the wood so you can walk it, see it, and decide what comes next.
Hampton Roads piers collect a film that makes the walkway look older than it is — and slicker than it should be.
Algae, dirt, and gray weathering sit in the grain. Cleaning will not replace a cupped board or a fastener that has worked up. It will take the surface back to wood you can see, walk, and stain. We are not a blasting company. Too much pressure raises grain, scars the wood, and leaves you with a fuzzier board than you started with.
When washing is the right call
- Green algae on the boards
- Gray weathering you want gone before a stain
- Dirt in the grain
Washing is not a substitute for failed boards, soft spots, or a pier that needs structural attention first. If the decking is done, look at re-decking or a rebuild on the existing pilings or selective repairs before you spend money on a wash.
How we approach the surface
- Protect the property and plan access
- Wash with pressure and technique appropriate for the decking
- Rinse and let the wood dry before any stain
Marine-grade staining often follows a wash.
