Restore Wood. Prevent Rot. Keep Your Decks & Fences Looking Fresh.



🪵 What Is Deck and Fence Care?

Deck and Fence Care is the maintenance, cleaning, treating, and restoring of wood decks, wooden fences, privacy screens, handrails, and outdoor wood structures.

This includes:

  • Cleaning

  • Power washing

  • Brightening

  • Mold/algae removal

  • Minor repairs

  • Stain prep

  • Preservation treatments


The goal is to extend the life of your wood and keep your outdoor spaces looking sharp, safe, and well-kept year-round.


🌧️ Why Deck & Fence Care Matters — Especially in Cincinnati

Cincinnati’s climate is tough on wood:

  • Spring rain

  • Humid summers

  • Freeze–thaw cycles

  • Snow load

  • High UV exposure


That combo leads to:

  • Rot

  • Warping

  • Splintering

  • Faded color

  • Algae/mold growth

  • Loose nails or boards


Deck and Fence Care prevents expensive replacements and keeps your property looking maintained.
