Deck and Patio the Careful Way
A deck or patio that sits in the shade takes a beating around here. Between the freezing winters and the warm, damp summers, algae, mold, moss, and a green organic film get every chance to settle in. The freeze-and-thaw cycle then works that grime right down into the grain of your wood, into composite boards, and into stone and concrete where a garden hose never reaches.
That buildup needs a careful hand, not a high-pressure blast. At Jet Wash Exterior Cleaning we lift the organic growth with the right cleaner and low-to-medium pressure, so the surface comes back without the wood getting gouged or the finish getting stripped. It is the difference between a deck that looks refreshed and one that comes out chewed up.
If your deck or patio has gone green or grimy, give us a call at (608) 577-9681 and we will talk you through it.
The Deck and Patio Surfaces
We Clean in Madison
We match the cleaner and the pressure to the surface in front of us, wood, composite, vinyl, stone, or concrete, rather than treating every deck and patio the same.
Wood Decking
Wood gets cleaned carefully so it does not mar. We lay down a cleaner first, then use low-to-medium pressure to lift the organic material, working in consistent long strokes so the surface comes out even and free of swirl marks. We take off the buildup and the dead surface wood, but we do not strip the stain.
Composite Decking
Composite gets the same cleaner-first, low-to-medium-pressure approach. One thing we are honest about up front: an older composite deck that was pitted by prior high-pressure use can be cleaned, but it cannot be made new again. We will tell you that before we start rather than after.
Vinyl Decking
Vinyl decking gets a cleaner applied and gently worked in to lift grime off the surface without marring it.
Stone Patios and Pool Decks
Stone surfaces are inspected, then run with a surface cleaner for an even finish and detailed with specialty nozzles wherever the shape calls for it. Shaded stone around a pool or patio holds damp and grows green film through the warm months, so we finish pool decks with a post-treatment that reaches the deeper organic growth and keeps it slower to return.
Concrete Patios and Pool Decks
Concrete is surface-cleaned for a consistent result across the whole area, with detail nozzle work on the edges and the tight spots. The same post-treatment goes down wherever growth has set into concrete, so a shaded patio stays cleaner longer.
Why Madison Homeowners Choose Us
for Deck and Patio Cleaning
Here is what sets our deck and patio cleaning apart before you ever book.
We Clean Without Stripping Your Stain or Gouging the Wood
The method is the whole point on a deck. Our careful, low-pressure approach lifts the organic buildup and leaves the surface even, with your stain and your boards intact. That care is what keeps a clean from turning into damage, which is where a high-pressure crew so often goes wrong.
A Soft-Wash Approach That Protects Delicate Surfaces
We soft wash, using low pressure and the right cleaners so your siding, stucco, and roof get clean without damage, and the same principle carries straight over to a deck or patio. Wood, composite, and stone all respond to a gentle hand, not a high-pressure hit, and that is how we approach every surface. The same soft-wash care carries over to roof cleaning, where high pressure would strip the protective granules that keep your shingles doing their job.
We Will Tell You Straight What a Clean Can and Cannot Fix
We tell you exactly what a clean will do for your deck before we start, so the result matches what you were promised. You will hear straight from us what your surface will look like when we are finished, right down to the honest details most crews skip over. Knowing that up front is what lets you book with confidence.
Plant, Pet, and Property Protection
Deck and patio work happens right next to your landscaping, so protection matters. We protect your plants, pets, and property, watering vegetation before and after, using pool-strength cleaners at low concentration, and rinsing with high water volume.
The Same Father-and-Son Team, Every Visit
We are a family business, and it is our own father-and-son team doing the cleaning, not a rotating crew. The careful hand your wood and composite need is the same set of hands on every visit.
Talk to Our Owner Before We Ever Quote
You get our owner’s direct line from the very first call, immediate contact and immediate answers. That means you can walk through your deck’s condition, wood or composite, stained or painted, spindle detail and all, before you ever get a number.

How Our Deck and Patio Cleaning
Process Works
The Free Quote
You reach our owner directly by phone, and most quotes are handled right there without an on-site visit. We ask about the deck or patio, its size, whether it is wood or composite or stone or concrete, stained or painted, the height of any stairway, the condition of the spindles, and any problem spots, so we can build an accurate quote. If you would rather we come look in person, we do that too.
Scheduling and Prep
We set the arrival time around your schedule. Before we come, we let you know how to prep the area, mainly clearing the deck or patio of anything that can be moved. Any vegetation next to the work gets watered before and after, especially in the summer heat.
Assessing the Surface
On arrival we take a close look at the deck or patio in person and settle on the right cleaner and the right pressure for that exact surface. This is the moment those quote details turn into a plan, before a drop of water touches the boards.
Cleaner and Low-to-Medium Pressure
We lay down a cleaner to lift and loosen the organic material, then work the surface at low-to-medium pressure with consistent long strokes to avoid swirl marks. Wood is handled with extra care so it does not mar. Across the open areas we run a surface cleaner to keep the finish even.
Detailing and Post-Treating Pool Decks
Edges and tight spots get detailed with specialty nozzles, so the result stays even right up to the borders. Pool decks, along with stone and concrete, are then post-treated to reach the deeper organic growth and keep it slower to return.
Walkthrough and Finish
Before we call the job done, we walk the finished deck or patio with you and make sure you are happy with how it came out. Once you are satisfied, we will leave you a Google review link if you would like to share the result.
What Deck and Patio Cleaning Costs
in Madison
Deck and patio cleaning starts at a set anchor, and the final figure depends on the surface in front of us and the detail the job takes.
- Deck and patio cleaning starts at $100. The final price depends on the size of the deck, the height of the stairway, the condition of the spindles, and whether the surface is wood or composite. Larger decks and heavier detail work move the number up from there.
A couple of ways to save:
- When deck or patio cleaning is added to a house washing, or to another service on the same visit, the added service is discounted. Ask about it when you get your quote.
- Returning and recurring customers get perks too, either a discount or a free add-on. Just mention it and we will sort it out on your quote.

Deck and Patio Cleaning FAQs
Can you make my old composite deck look new again?
We can clean it up and refresh it, and we will be straight with you about how far that goes. We clean decks and lift the organic buildup, but we don’t strip stain, and a composite deck that’s already been pitted by high pressure can’t be brought all the way back. You will know exactly what to expect from us before we start.
Will you strip or remove the stain on my deck?
Your stain stays put. Our cleaning lifts the grime and the dead surface wood off the top of the boards while leaving the finish underneath right where it belongs, so your deck comes out cleaner without losing its color.
I want to restain my wood deck. Can you clean it first?
Yes, we can clean a wood deck first, doing a light pass to remove the dead surface wood rather than a full strip. We recommend waiting a couple of rainfalls, or giving it a hose rinse yourself, before you restain, so the surface is ready to take the new finish.
Do I need to be home when you clean my deck or patio?
Not usually for local jobs. The quote and the work can both be handled without you there, as long as we have access to the area and a water source. For out-of-town customers, we ask for prepayment or that someone be present on the day of service.
