Fence Washing in Dilworth, NC
Dilworth fencing reflects the neighborhood's 1900s to 1920s bungalow character — original iron gates, wood picket fences with decades of accumulated paint layers, and tight side-yard lots that demand careful access. Most painted pickets in Dilworth predate 1978, which means we treat all of them as potentially lead-coated until proven otherwise. The narrow lots also mean we are working inches from neighboring boxwoods, hydrangeas, and foundation plantings, so pre-rinse is non-negotiable.

Original iron gates and fencing receive a rust-conversion pass on active corrosion, neutralized and sealed with an inhibitor — no high pressure on these pieces. Wood pickets are washed under 1,500 PSI with the grain when paint is intact, or hand-cleaned with low-pressure soft wash and ground containment when pre-1978 paint is present. Stone or brick pillars are kept at low pressure to protect older soft mortar. A full post-rinse of beds and turf finishes the job and keeps the tight Dilworth landscape intact.
