House Wash, Deck Cleaning & Under-Deck Concrete Restoration in Newport Estates – Woodbridge, VA

We completed a rewarding project in the Newport Estates community of Woodbridge, VA, where we performed a full house wash, deck cleaning, and under-deck concrete cleaning for longtime homeowners. This job stood out because the deck and concrete below had not been cleaned in more than 25 years.

Step 1: Deck Cleaning & Preparation

We started with the elevated deck, which had floorboards that were meant to be gray but appeared nearly black due to decades of organic buildup. Out of care for the elderly homeowners, we moved several items to create a safe, clear workspace. Once prepped, we applied our cleaning solution and carefully washed the deck boards, railings, and surfaces. The difference was dramatic — what once looked aged and dull now appeared almost new. The homeowner even remarked that she thought her deck had been replaced because of how clean and bright it looked after our service.

Step 2: Under-Deck Concrete Transformation

The area beneath the deck posed the toughest challenge. Since it was shaded most of the day and had never been cleaned, the concrete was covered with mold, mildew, algae, and moss. Using our professional surface cleaner and higher water pressure suitable for concrete, we were able to cut through 25 years of buildup. By the end, the concrete looked as though the organic matter had never been there, restoring a fresh and usable space beneath the deck.

Step 3: House Wash & Complimentary Sidewalk Cleaning

Once the deck and concrete were restored, we completed a full vinyl siding house wash. Algae growth was most prominent on the rear of the home but had started to show up in other areas as well. Our soft washing method safely removed the streaks, returning the home’s siding to a bright, clean condition. To finish the project, we cleaned the sidewalk at no additional charge — a surprise that enhanced the home’s curb appeal and left the homeowners delighted.

A Personal Connection with the Homeowners

One of the highlights of this project was taking time after the cleaning to talk with the couple about their life together. Married for over 50 years, they shared how they first met while serving in the Army — the wife as a nurse, the husband as a soldier. She told him, “If you want to get well and stay well, you should marry me.” That nurse-patient bond became the foundation of their long and happy marriage. It was a privilege to not only restore their home’s exterior but also hear their story and see the pride they took in their property once it was renewed.

Results That Spoke for Themselves

By the end of the project, the deck looked brand new, the under-deck concrete was spotless, the siding was fresh, and the sidewalk tied it all together for outstanding curb appeal. The homeowners were thrilled with the results, grateful for the extra effort, and happy to see their beloved home shine again after decades.
