Patios and decks in North Atlanta live a hard life: shade, humidity, pollen, and Georgia red clay. The green film that builds up isn't just ugly — it's genuinely slippery when wet. Here's exactly what cleaning it costs.
We're a local, owner-operated company — you can read all of our 72 five-star reviews on our Google profile and see real before/after photos from recent jobs on our Instagram. No franchise scripts, no commissioned salespeople — the person who quotes your job is the person who does it.
Our Patio & Deck Cleaning Rate (2026)
| Surface | Our Rate |
|---|---|
| Concrete patio / pavers | $0.25 / sq ft |
| Wood & composite decks | $0.25 / sq ft (railings counted) |
What that means in real numbers
- 12×16 concrete patio (192 sq ft): $48
- 20×20 patio (400 sq ft): $100
- 16×20 deck with railings (~450 sq ft of surface): ~$113
As you can see, most patios alone come in under our $150 minimum — which is honestly why the typical booking is driveway + patio or house wash + deck. Bundled, you pay for exactly the square footage cleaned, and the trip minimum stops mattering.
Concrete, Pavers, Wood, Composite — Different Surfaces, Different Technique
- Concrete: surface cleaner for an even finish — no zebra striping.
- Pavers: controlled pressure so we clean the stone without blasting out the joint sand.
- Wood decks: reduced pressure plus detergents. High pressure splinters and "furs" the grain — we don't do that to your deck.
- Composite (Trex etc.): manufacturer-safe washing that removes mildew from the texture without voiding the warranty.
Cleaning Before Staining or Sealing
Planning to stain the deck this season? Clean first, always. Stain over mildew and gray weathered fibers peels within a year. We handle the cleaning; give the wood 24–48 hours to dry, then stain. The finish will bond properly and last years instead of months.

📞 770-524-0467Frequently Asked Questions
How much does patio or deck cleaning cost in North Atlanta?
A flat $0.25 per square foot of surface. A 12×16 patio (192 sq ft) is $48 and a 20×20 patio (400 sq ft) is $100 — note our $150 service minimum, which is why patios are usually bundled with a driveway or house wash. Deck railings count toward the surface area.
Should a deck be cleaned before staining or sealing?
Yes — stain and sealer applied over mildew and gray weathered fibers will peel within a season. Cleaning first lets the new finish bond to sound wood. We clean; you or your painter stain after the wood dries for 24–48 hours.
Will pressure washing damage my wood deck?
High pressure used carelessly raises and splinters the wood grain. We clean wood decks with reduced pressure and the right detergents, which removes the gray weathering and mildew without furring the boards.
