Get matched with top deck cleaning pros in Breckenridge, CO

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

• Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

• Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

• Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

• Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

The average cost to professionally clean or pressure wash a deck is around $150, with prices typically ranging from $100 to $600. Several factors influence the final price, including the deck's size, material, condition, and how long it has been since its last cleaning. For a smaller deck of about 300 square feet, you might pay around $100. For a larger deck of 1,000 square feet or more, the cost could be closer to $300 to $400. Decks that are very dirty or haven't been cleaned in years may require more time and special detergents, which will increase the price. The deck's material also plays a role. Wood decks often cost more to clean because they require a gentle power washing technique to avoid damage. Composite decks are typically less expensive to clean, and cleaning a metal deck may cost around $100.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions.
