Can a Trex or composite deck be pressure washed?

Only at composite-safe pressure with the right cleaner, which is how Kelly K's does it. Driveway pressure damages composite permanently.

Should a wood deck be sealed in Florida?

Yes. A penetrating sealer slows UV graying and water intrusion. Kelly K's cleans, dries, then seals or preps for stain.

How often does a deck need cleaning in Sarasota?

Annually for most decks; shaded decks every 6 to 9 months. Sealed wood goes longer between cleans.

Florida decks grow a black-green film in the grain that gets slick when wet and dull when dry. Composite and Trex boards hold it in their texture; wood decks add gray oxidation and tannin on top. Cleaned at driveway pressure, composite gets furred and wood gets shredded. Kelly K's cleans decks at deck-safe pressure with a mildew-killing treatment, and seals wood decks so Florida sun and rain don't take them back in a season.

Composite & Trex decks — mildew lifted out of the texture without furring the boards

Our Process

How We Clean & Seal a Deck

Material & Condition Check

Composite, capped composite, Trex or wood — and whether an old stain or sealer is present. That decides pressure, cleaner and whether sealing is on the table.

Deck-Safe Clean

Mildew and algae killed at the root with a deck-rated treatment, then rinsed at low pressure so the board surface stays intact.

Dry & Seal (Wood)

Wood dries fully, then gets a penetrating sealer with written cure instructions — or we prep it clean for the stain of your choice.

✅ 90-Day Clean-Back Guarantee

If mildew visibly returns within 90 days of a deck clean, we re-treat that area free. In writing, on every work order.

FAQ

Can you pressure wash a Trex or composite deck?

Only at composite-safe pressure with a fan tip and the right cleaner — which is how we do it. Driveway pressure furs and scars composite permanently.

Should I seal my wood deck?

In Florida, yes — a penetrating sealer slows UV graying and water intrusion dramatically. We clean first, let it dry, then seal or prep for stain.

How often does a deck need cleaning here?

Annually for most decks; shaded or tree-covered decks every 6–9 months. Sealed wood goes longer between cleans.

We also clean fences, patios & pool decks and house exteriors — bundle and save.
