Your Fence Deserves Better Than a Garden Hose
Professional Fence Pressure Washing That Brings Back the Beauty
Remember when your fence actually looked good? Before it turned that weathered gray color, before the green streaks appeared, back when it actually added to your home's curb appeal instead of detracting from it?
Here's the frustrating truth: your fence takes a beating 365 days a year. Rain, snow, UV rays, humidity, and everything Mother Nature throws at it slowly transforms what was once a beautiful boundary into something that looks... well, tired. And if you're like most homeowners, you've probably stood there with your garden hose wondering if there's a better way.
There is. At Handymasters Painting, we've been helping Durham, Portsmouth, Dover, and Exeter homeowners bring their fences back to life with professional fence pressure washing that actually works—without turning your fence into kindling.
The Problem Every Fence Owner Faces
Let's be honest about what's happening to your fence. It's not just getting "dirty"—it's under constant biological attack. Mold, mildew, algae, and moss don't just sit on the surface looking ugly. They're actually eating away at your fence, working their way into the wood grain and breaking down the fibers that keep your fence strong.
Wood fences are especially vulnerable. That gray, weathered look isn't just cosmetic—it's your fence literally aging before your eyes. Vinyl and composite fences might be more resilient, but they're not immune to the green streaks and stubborn stains that make your whole yard look neglected.
You've probably thought about tackling it yourself. Maybe you've even rented a pressure washer and given it a shot. But here's what most people discover the hard way: blast a fence with too much pressure and you'll leave permanent marks, splinter the wood, or even blow out entire slats. Use too little pressure and you're basically giving it an expensive rinse.
If you've been searching for "power washing fence near me" but weren't sure who to trust, you're not alone. Most homeowners learn about professional fence cleaning services after they've already tried (and failed) to do it themselves.
How We Actually Fix the Problem
Wood fence power washing isn't about pointing a pressure washer at your fence and hoping for the best. It's about understanding what you're dealing with and using the right technique for your specific situation.
Every fence is different. A brand-new cedar fence needs a completely different approach than a 10-year-old pressure-treated pine fence. Vinyl fencing has its own requirements, and composite materials need their own special treatment. We assess what you've got, figure out what's causing the problems, and then use the right combination of pressure, cleaning solutions, and techniques to fix it.
Here's what actually happens: we start with a cleaning solution that breaks down the organic growth at the source. Then we use carefully calibrated pressure—not too much, not too little—to lift years of grime and discoloration. The result isn't just a cleaner fence; it's a fence that looks like it was properly maintained all along.
This approach works perfectly for homes throughout the Seacoast region, where coastal humidity and changing seasons create the perfect storm for fence problems.
Why Homeowners Choose Us Over the Competition
We Don't Destroy What We're Trying to Clean
Every fence material has its limits. We know exactly how much pressure cedar can handle versus pressure-treated lumber. We understand that vinyl needs a gentler touch than composite. Your fence gets cleaned, not damaged.
We Kill the Problem, Not Just Hide It
Those green streaks and black stains? They're living organisms that will come back unless you eliminate them properly. Our fence cleaning services use treatments that actually kill mold, algae, and mildew at the root level.
Your Fence Lasts Longer
Proper fence pressure cleaning isn't just about looks—it's about protection. By removing the organic material that traps moisture and breaks down your fence, we actually extend its lifespan and prevent premature rot and decay.
You Get the Owner, Not Some Random Crew
We're a small, local Durham-based team. When you call, you're talking to the people who'll actually show up at your house. No corporate middleman, no subcontractors you've never met, no wondering if the crew knows what they're doing.
Perfect Prep for Staining or Sealing
Planning to stain your fence after it's clean? We prepare the surface exactly right for maximum adhesion and long-lasting results. No missed spots, no residue that'll interfere with your finish.
What We Clean (And How We Do It Right)
Wood Fences That Look Like New
Cedar, pine, pressure-treated lumber—we've cleaned them all. Our approach removes that gray weathering and organic growth to reveal the natural wood color underneath, without splintering or gouging.
Vinyl and Composite Fences That Shine Again
Those stubborn green streaks and environmental stains don't stand a chance. We use detergent-assisted low-pressure washing that restores brightness and color without damaging the material.
Complete Mold and Algae Elimination
We don't just blast it off—we kill it. Our cleaning agents target organic growth at the source, which means it stays gone longer and your fence stays cleaner.
Stain and Seal Preparation
If you're planning to stain or seal your fence, we make sure it's perfectly clean and properly rinsed so your finish goes on evenly and lasts as long as possible.
Full Perimeter Cleaning
Posts, rails, pickets, and all those hard-to-reach crevices get the same attention. We don't cut corners or skip the details that make the difference between a good job and a great one.
Add-On Services Available
Got a gate, deck, or shed nearby? We can include those in your estimate for a complete backyard transformation.
