Is Your Deck Ready for Summer? Why Professional Cleaning Makes All the Difference

For homeowners in Parma Heights and across Northeast Ohio, the deck or patio is one of the most used spaces in the home from late spring through fall. It's where you host cookouts, relax on warm evenings, and make memories with family. But after a long Ohio winter, your deck can look — and actually be — in rough shape.

At Combat Power Washing, we help homeowners get their outdoor spaces back in peak condition so they can make the most of every warm day.

What Winter Does to Your Deck

Ohio winters are brutal. Months of snow, ice, freeze/thaw cycles, and trapped moisture create ideal conditions for:

• Mold and mildew growth in the wood grain

• Green algae buildup on surfaces, making them slippery and dangerous

• Graying and discoloration of wood from UV exposure and moisture

• Dirt and debris packed into crevices and between boards

• Surface breakdown that makes wood more vulnerable to rot

By the time spring arrives, most decks need more than a quick sweep — they need a professional clean.

Wood Deck vs. Composite Deck: Does It Matter?

Yes — and the cleaning method should differ for each.

Wood decks require careful pressure control to avoid raising the wood grain or causing splintering. The right detergents help lift mold and mildew from the wood fibers without stripping natural oils.

Composite decks are more forgiving but still develop algae, mold, and surface staining over time. The wrong cleaning agents can actually dull composite surfaces or void manufacturer warranties.

At Combat Power Washing, we assess your deck material before we start and use the appropriate method and cleaning solution for your specific surface — wood, composite, or stone pavers.
