Fence Cleaning Services in the Capital Region
Bring your fence back to life, safely removing the green algae, gray weathering, and grime that age wood, vinyl, and metal fencing, without gouging or damaging the surface.
What Fence Cleaning Involves
Fence cleaning removes the dirt, mold, algae, and weathering that build up on fencing over the seasons, restoring its original color and protecting the material underneath. We match the method to the material: a gentle soft wash for wood and vinyl, where high pressure would splinter or streak, and appropriate technique for metal and chain-link.
Fences take the same Capital Region beating your house does, but people often forget them. The shaded, ground level base of a fence is prime territory for green algae and moss; wood fences gray out and grow mildew; vinyl picks up a dingy film that makes white look beige. A proper cleaning not only restores the look, on wood, it’s the essential first step before any staining or sealing, because finish won’t bond to a dirty, mildewed surface.

I recently hired Near Me Softwash to clean the exterior of my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly thorough. They took great care around my landscaping and made sure every part of the house looked spotless by the time they finished. The soft washing made a huge difference, my siding looks brand new again. Great service, fair pricing, and easy communication from start to finish. I’ll definitely be using them again and recommending them to neighbors.

The team at Near Me Softwash is professional, punctual, thorough and friendly. They recently provided a softwash service on my home’s vinyl siding and the results were remarkable. They washed away the last few years of dirt and buildup and the siding looks new again. They were careful around landscaping and windows and left everything clean and tidy. The difference is night and day and I’ve already had neighbors comment on how fresh the house looks. Thank you guys! Highly recommend.

I work at a law firm that is on the 2nd floor and it is all windows! Near Me Softwash took on the job and made all 100 windows inside and out sparkle! They are meticulous and very professional. A real pleasure to do business with. They let me know how things were going every step of the way. I would highly recommend!!!

These guys are awesome. They came when they said they would. They carefully moved my belongings out of the way to perform their work. After they were done with the soft wash they extra rinsed my vegetation around the house so the solution did not harm my plants (just in case). It’s refreshing to see a few young men working hard to build their business. Great job guys!

H2OBX Waterpark had Near Me Softwashes get all our outside buildings ready for the season. They also did a great job refreshening up the outside pool furniture. The project took several days. They worked efficiently, communicated professionally and ensured we were pleased with the outcome. This is a big job coming out of winter hibernation and we would not only recommend them but also would plan to use them again.

Why You Should Soft Wash a Wood Fence (Not Pressure Wash It)
A pressure washer in the wrong hands will destroy a wood fence, it gouges the soft grain, leaves zebra-stripe marks, and tears up the surface fibers, leaving a fence that looks worse than before and won’t hold stain evenly. Wood fencing should be soft washed: a cleaning solution lifts the dirt and kills the mildew, and a gentle rinse does the rest.
This matters most if you plan to stain or seal afterward. Stain won’t bond to a dirty, weathered, or mildewed surface, it’ll peel and blotch. A proper soft wash gives you a clean, sound surface to finish, so your stain lasts and looks even. Vinyl is similar: it doesn’t need high pressure, just the right solution to cut the film and algae.

Fence Cleaning FAQs
Do you pressure wash or soft wash fences?
We soft wash wood and vinyl to avoid damage, and use the correct technique for metal. We never blast soft wood with high pressure.
Will cleaning restore my gray, weathered wood fence?
Cleaning removes the gray mildew and grime and brightens the wood significantly. For full color restoration, cleaning is the necessary first step before staining.
Can you clean my fence before I stain it?
Yes, and you should. Stain bonds far better to a clean, mildew-free surface, so it lasts longer and looks even.
Is the cleaning safe for my plants and lawn?
Yes. We protect and rinse landscaping, and use biodegradable solutions.
Do you clean both sides of the fence?
Wherever access allows, yes. We’ll confirm scope when we quote.
Do you offer free estimates?
Always, free, flat-rate, no-obligation. Call or text (518) 313-5082.
