Deck stairs take a beating. They're the first thing people step on when they come to your home, and they're constantly exposed to rain, humidity, and everything that blows in with the wind. Over time, green algae and grime build up on the risers and treads - and most homeowners don't even realize how bad it's gotten until they see it side by side with a clean version.
That's exactly what happened here. The stairs were covered in green algae growth and surface staining across every step. The kind of buildup that doesn't come off with a garden hose - it takes real pressure and the right technique to clear it out properly.
We went in with a thorough power wash and pulled all of that grime off the surface. The risers went from a dull, stained mess back to a clean, bright white. The deck boards cleaned up too. It's the kind of result that makes the whole back of a house look sharp again - without replacing a single board.
A clean deck and staircase also matters beyond just looks. Algae and mildew buildup on steps can get slippery, especially after rain. Getting that off the surface is a simple step that goes a long way. We handle deck cleaning across the Freehold area, and we also offer window cleaning and gutter cleaning for homeowners who want to knock out the full exterior in one shot.
