What fence, brick and stone cleaning in Dallas covers
A cedar fence goes grey because ultraviolet breaks down the surface of the timber and mildew colonises the shaded face. That grey is usually only a fraction of a millimetre deep, which is why a fence people have written off often comes back. Masonry has its own set: efflorescence, the white salt that migrates out of brick and mortar, plus hard-water scale and rust wherever a sprinkler reaches.
Cedar and pine fencing
The grey comes off and the timber underneath is usually in better shape than anyone expected. Washed evenly, so the run does not end up striped.
Cedar · Pine · Board on board
Brick and mortar
Algae, efflorescence and general grime, cleaned without forcing water into the joints.
Brick · Mortar · Efflorescence
Stone, cast stone and columns
Entry columns, cast stone detail and stone facing, which hold scale and algae differently to brick.

Retaining walls and planters
The damp side of a retaining wall is always the green one, and it is the side that shows from the garden.

Preparation before staining
If a stain or sealer is going on, the wash is the preparation for it. Timber has to be properly dry first, and we will say how long.

Method
A safer, better clean in three steps
The fence is washed at the pressure that particular timber will take and rinsed evenly, so there is no lap marking down the run. Masonry is cleaned without driving water into the joints. If a stain is going on afterwards, the timber has to dry properly first, usually a couple of days, and we will tell you that rather than let you stain wet wood.

Common questions
Fence cleaning in Dallas, answered
Do you cover Dallas?
Yes. Dallas is one of the eleven Dallas-Fort Worth cities Gem Pro covers, and we work throughout Dallas County. That includes Lakewood, Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, Oak Cliff and the Bishop Arts District.
We are in Irving, Coppell, Arlington and Grapevine regularly too, so a Dallas job rarely waits. Call (214) 471-6720 or send the details and you get a price back the same business day.
Will washing splinter or fur up the wood?
Not at the right pressure. Furring happens when someone takes a narrow tip to soft cedar and tears the surface fibres. The fence is washed at the pressure that timber will actually take, which is a lot less than most people assume.
How long before I can stain it?
Usually a couple of dry days, longer if the weather has been humid or the fence sits in shade. Staining timber that is still holding water is how a stain job fails, so it is worth waiting. We will tell you when we finish what we think it needs.
Will it take the white haze off my brick?
Usually. That white bloom is efflorescence, salts migrating out of the brick and mortar, and it responds to the right treatment rather than to pressure. If it keeps coming back, something is putting moisture into the wall and that is worth looking at separately.
Is my fence worth washing or should I replace it?
Wash it first, then decide. The grey is surface deep on most cedar, so a fence that looks finished often has years left once it is clean. If the posts have gone or boards are actually rotten, washing will show you that too, and that is a better basis for a replacement decision than a guess.
What does fence, brick and stone cleaning cost in Dallas?
There is no honest flat rate, because no two properties are the same size, the same age or in the same condition. What we can promise is how the number is arrived at: we walk the property, we put the price in writing, and that is the price you pay.
Estimates are free and there is no charge for the walkthrough. If we spot something else worth attention we will tell you, and the decision stays yours.

Fence cleaning across the metroplex
Dallas holds two problems at once: older brick and stucco near the highways carries decades of traffic film, and every north-facing wall in the city eventually streaks with algae. Irrigation on Blackland clay adds a third, throwing a red-brown mud line along the bottom courses that a garden hose will not shift.
