Many pool decks have a textured acrylic or 'cool deck' coating. These need lower pressure than bare concrete, and a deck that is peeling may need recoating rather than more cleaning.

Serving Altavista, VA and nearby towns
In Virginia, concrete has to deal with summer mildew and winter salt and freeze-thaw cycles. Annual cleaning and a sealer every few years help it last.
Spring pollen season in Virginia coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.
Red clay soil is common in parts of Virginia. Rain splashes it onto the bottom of the siding, walls and walkways, and its iron-rich color can stain light surfaces. It usually needs a dedicated clay or rust cleaner rather than pressure alone.

Pool Deck Cleaning: frequently asked questions
How much does pool deck cleaning cost in Altavista, VA?
Pool Deck Cleaning typically costs $200-$500 for a typical residential pool deck, and usually takes 1-3 hours. The exact price depends on the size and condition, and you get it before any work starts. Call (555) 010-0000 for a free quote.
Do you use high pressure for pool deck cleaning?
Pool Deck Cleaning is done with low-to-moderate pressure wash. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is pool deck cleaning safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule pool deck cleaning?
Once or twice a year. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
