Fence Washing in Matthews, NC
Matthews fencing skews toward 90s and early-2000s installs — vinyl privacy panels and pressure-treated wood that have seen 20-plus humid summers. Older vinyl chalks and absorbs tannin differently than new product, so we soft-wash under 1,200 PSI with extended dwell time and a brightener pass on the worst panels. Aging wood needs careful pressure control: we stay well under 1,500 PSI and work strictly with the grain, since older boards fur and split at higher settings.

Properties along Sardis, Providence, and Idlewild often have established landscaping pressed up against the fence line — azaleas, liriope, established boxwoods. We pre-rinse heavily, keep chemistry off mulch beds when possible, and re-rinse twice on the way out. Matthews lots also tend to slope toward the back, so we route rinse water carefully to avoid pooling against neighbor fences.
