Fence washing for wood and vinyl
Fences sit in grass clippings, sprinkler spray and shade on one side. That side usually turns green first.
Backyard privacy fences are everywhere in Powell, Halls and the newer Knox County subdivisions. They take a beating from mowers and sprinklers on one face and stay damp in the shade on the other. A wash brings them back, and it's often the cheapest way to make a yard look cared for.
Wood fences
Pressure-treated pine and cedar get the same care as a deck: a wide fan, moderate pressure, cleaner first, and passes that follow the boards. Old fences with soft or split pickets get extra distance. Staining afterward needs dry wood.
Vinyl fences
Vinyl cleans quickly with a soft wash. The green streaks are surface growth, and the rinse is gentle so the rails and caps aren't forced apart. Chalky, faded vinyl brightens but won't look new.
Your neighbor's side
We wash the side you own and can reach. Washing the far side means stepping onto a neighbor's property, so we only do it when they've said yes. Plenty of neighbors split the job; it's worth asking over the fence.
Fence length and the price
Fences are usually priced by length and height, plus how heavy the growth is. A rough count of panels or a quick measurement helps; so do a couple of photos. General pricing explains how jobs are measured.
Asked about fence washing
Still wondering about something? Call (865) 390-6589 and ask. It costs nothing to ask.
Will washing damage an old wood fence?
Not with the right pressure. Rotten or split pickets can break if anyone pushes on them, so they're pointed out and given distance.
Can you wash a chain-link fence?
Yes, usually as part of a bigger job. It's quick and mostly about rinsing off growth and clippings.
Do you stain fences?
Staining can be arranged after the wash once the wood is dry. It's quoted separately.
