Restore Your Oviedo Deck Without Damaging the Wood
Oviedo’s weather is hard on a wood deck. The heat, the thick humidity, and the near-daily summer rain hang around most of the year, and that constant moisture is exactly what mold, mildew, and algae need to take hold on an outdoor surface. Add the shade from Oviedo’s tree canopy, or a covered patio that never fully dries out, and a deck can turn green, grimy, and slick underfoot faster than most homeowners expect.
We clear that growth by soft washing the deck rather than blasting it. Soft washing is a low-pressure method that lifts the mold, mildew, and algae and kills the organic growth at the root, all without stripping or fuzzing the wood. It is the method the crew at Prestige Cleaning relies on because it cleans and protects the surface in one pass, and it leaves the boards looking cared for rather than worn.
If your deck has started to green over, we can help. Call us at 407-990-1877 and we will get you a free estimate.
The Deck Types We Clean in Oviedo
We match the method to the material, soft washing wood and composite and reserving pressure washing for concrete, so every deck gets cleaned the right way for what it is made of.
Composite Decking
Composite gets soft washed with a low-pressure cleaning agent, and the chemistry does the work, lifting mold, mildew, and algae without forcing anything off the surface. Composite is durable, and the soft-wash method keeps its finish intact while it works, clearing the green film that builds up in shaded spots.
Painted Wood Decking
Painted wood is soft washed only, never pressure washed, because pressure lifts wood fibers and lines the boards. Instead, we apply the cleaning agent, soft-brush the porous areas, give it dwell time, and rinse thoroughly. If the paint is already failing or oxidized, we flag it before we start (more on that under our process below).
Concrete Decking
Concrete decking is the one deck surface we pressure wash, because pressure is the right tool for that material. We clean off the dirt, algae, and general staining, then apply a mold treatment so the growth does not come back quickly. Concrete pool decks are common on Oviedo homes, and they take on algae fast in the humid air.
Seal and Stain Your Deck After We Clean It
Once a deck is cleaned and fully dry, it is the ideal moment to protect it, so we offer deck staining as a follow-on service. We use a clear stain only, Thompson’s Water Seal, which is a clear protective finish rather than a color change, so you know what to expect before we begin.
Cleaning always comes first, because stain will not take over mold or algae. It is roughly a two-day process: the wood has to dry fully between the clean and the stain, then the finish goes on in coats, and you will want to stay off the deck for about 48 hours afterward. The result protects and refreshes the wood, and it typically lasts one to three years depending on sun exposure.
Why Oviedo Homeowners Choose Us for Deck Cleaning
A clean deck should stay clean and still look like wood when we are done, and a few things set our deck cleaning apart.
We Soft Wash Wood, We Never Pressure Wash It
We never pressure wash wood. It strips the surface without killing the mold. We soft wash instead for a longer, cleaner, line-free result. For your deck, that means an even finish with no wand marks and growth that stays gone rather than creeping back within a season.
We Move and Replace Your Furniture, Grills, and Planters
Our crew clears your patio furniture, grills, and planters before we clean and puts everything back where it belongs when we finish. You do not have to prep the deck ahead of time or come home to a rearranged patio. It stays hands-off for you from start to finish.
Before-and-After Photos on Every Job
Every deck clean is documented with before-and-after photos, so you can see exactly what the wood looked like when we arrived and how it turned out. A deck’s transformation is often dramatic, and this is standard on every job, never an upsell.

How Our Deck Cleaning Process Works
01. The Free Estimate
Reach out by phone, text, or web form, and we respond fast: calls are answered immediately, and texts and web forms come back within about five minutes. We provide a free estimate in person, over the phone, or from photos you send, and we assess the deck’s material and condition so the quote covers the full scope and what to expect. If your paint is already failing or oxidized, we’ll point it out before we start. We can remove the mold and algae, but loose paint may come off and an oxidized finish will remain.
02. Scheduling and the Heads-Up
Once the job is booked, you receive an appointment confirmation and a reminder 48 hours ahead. On service day, you get an on-my-way text with a photo of the technician heading your way, so you always know who is arriving and when.
03. Clearing and Protecting the Deck
Before any cleaning starts, the crew removes patio furniture, grills, and planters and sets them aside. We pre-rinse and saturate the surrounding area and nearby plants so the cleaning agent has nowhere to settle on your landscaping.
04. Soft Wash Cleaning
For wood and composite, we apply a low-pressure soft-wash cleaning agent, sodium hypochlorite at around 1.5%, to lift and kill the mold, mildew, and algae. On porous wood we work in a soft brush and dwell time so the chemistry does the job without pressure. Concrete decking is pressure washed instead, since that is the correct method for that surface.
05. Thorough Rinse
We rinse the entire deck and the area around it, then rinse the surroundings a second time so no cleaning agent is left sitting on plants or nearby surfaces.
06. Walkthrough and Invoice
We walk the finished deck with you and check for any spots we may have missed. Only once you have signed off does the invoice follow, so payment always comes after the work has met your standard.
What Deck Cleaning Costs
in Oviedo
Most deck cleans fall within a predictable range, and the final figure depends on your deck’s size, material, and condition. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden fees and no card-processing surcharge.
- Deck cleaning typically ranges from $250 to $600. This is priced by the deck’s size, material (wood, composite, or concrete), condition, and how much organic growth has built up. A small, lightly soiled deck lands near the low end, while a large or heavily grown-in deck runs higher.
- Bundle two or more services and you save 15%, which applies when deck cleaning is booked alongside another service. A common pairing is a deck clean with a screen enclosure or pool deck.
- 10% military and veteran discount.
What Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you pressure wash my wood deck?
No, not wood or composite. We never pressure wash wood. It strips the surface without killing the mold. We soft wash instead for a longer, cleaner, line-free result. Concrete decking is the one deck surface we do pressure wash, because that is the right tool for that material.
How long does a deck cleaning take?
Most deck cleans take about an hour. Larger decks, heavier organic growth, or added steps such as a stain follow-up on another day can extend that timeline.
Do I need to be home when you clean my deck?
No, you do not need to be home, as long as we have access to the deck and a water source. Many of our customers we never meet in person. We send an on-my-way text with a photo of your technician and before-and-after photos of the finished job so you can see the result wherever you are.
