Fence Cleaning St Johns FL | Wood & Vinyl Fence Washing
Why Does My Fence Turn Green?
Florida’s humidity creates ideal conditions for algae, mold and mildew to grow on fences. North-facing fences, shaded yards and sprinkler overspray often accelerate staining. Regular professional fence cleaning removes these contaminants before they permanently discolor the surface or shorten the life of your fence.
Fence Materials We Clean
Vinyl Fencing
If your vinyl fence has been installed for at least a year then you without a doubt have algae growth. Each morning your vinyl fence is covered from top to bottom in condensation. If you cut your grass early in the morning then grass clippings, dust, and dirt will cling to the moisture on the face of your fencing accelerating organic growth. If you can wait until all of the overnight condensation has completely dried to start lawn maintenance it helps, but the longer you wait the hotter outside it gets.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a fence be professionally cleaned?
Most Florida fences benefit from professional cleaning every 12–18 months. Homes with heavy tree cover, irrigation overspray or significant shade may require annual cleaning.
Can pressure washing damage a fence?
Yes. Using excessive pressure can:
- damage wood fibers
- leave pressure marks
- remove stain
- etch vinyl
- damage painted finishes
We select the cleaning method based on the fence material and condition rather than using one pressure setting for every surface.
Do you use soft washing?
Absolutely. Many fences are better cleaned using soft washing instead of high pressure.
Can you remove black algae?
Yes. Most black algae, mildew, mold and green organic growth can be safely removed using professional cleaning solutions.
Will my fence look new again?
Most fences experience a dramatic improvement. The final appearance depends on age, UV exposure, oxidation, existing damage and staining.
Can you remove rust stains?
Yes. Often times rust from lawn fertilizing companies accumulates along the base of vinyl fencing. We can happily remove rust stains for a small fee. Standard fence cleaning is for organic growth. Rust removal from fencing would be an added service.
