Step 1
Identify Material And Finish
We check whether the fence is painted, bare wood, or vinyl, look at the paint condition, and set pressure to suit before touching it.
Fence Cleaning In Montgomery, OH For Painted Pickets, Wood, And Vinyl
Painted picket fencing is common here and it is the least forgiving surface on the property. Too much pressure takes the paint off along with the algae.

Fencing in Montgomery runs to type. Painted picket fences fit the town's historic streetscape and appear on a lot of properties, alongside wood privacy fencing in back yards and vinyl on newer lots. Painted pickets are the delicate case: the boards are thin, the paint is the whole point, and a pressure setting suited to a concrete driveway will strip finish and fur the wood in one pass.
Fences also green up faster than anything else on a property, because they sit at the property line with no roof over them and, on Montgomery's tree-lined lots, usually in near-permanent shade with poor airflow. It is common for a fence to look badly weathered while the house siding still looks fine.
We identify the material first and set the pressure to match. Painted and older wood gets cleaning solution and a gentle rinse so the growth releases without the finish going with it. Vinyl gets treated and washed. Both faces get done, because growth left on the far side simply works back through.
Why Montgomery Homeowners Clean Their Fences
-
Safe For Painted Picket Fencing
Solution and low pressure lift algae and grime off painted pickets without stripping the paint that gives the fence its character.
-
Clears Shaded Property Lines
Fences in near-permanent shade green up faster than any other surface, and it shows from every part of the yard.
-
Method Set By Material
Painted wood, bare wood, and vinyl each need a different pressure and approach. One setting for all three is how fences get damaged.
-
Both Faces Cleaned
Growth left on the neighbor-facing side works back through the boards, so a one-sided clean does not hold.
Our Montgomery Fence Cleaning Process
Step 2
Protect The Bed Line
Plantings along the fence are pre-wet and protected, which matters on older properties where beds usually run the full length.
Step 3
Treat And Wash Gently
Cleaning solution breaks down algae and organic film, then the fence is washed at the lowest pressure that does the job.
Step 4
Rinse Both Sides And Report
Both faces are rinsed and inspected, and we flag any loose pickets, rotted posts, or paint that is due for attention.
Fence Cleaning FAQs
-
Will cleaning strip the paint off my picket fence?
Not if the paint is sound. We use cleaning solution and low pressure so the algae releases without lifting finish. Paint that is already blistering or peeling will continue to fail regardless, and we will point that out rather than work over it.
-
My fence is green but the house is not. Is that normal?
Very. Fences have no roof over them, sit at the shaded property line, and get poor airflow from both sides. They are almost always the first surface on a property to show growth.
-
Do you clean the neighbor's side as well?
Where we have access, yes, and we will ask first. Leaving one face untreated means the growth comes back through the boards, so a single-sided clean is a short-term result.
-
Should the fence be sealed or repainted after cleaning?
On bare wood, sealing after cleaning slows the greying considerably. On painted fencing, cleaning often reveals whether the paint has life left in it or whether a repaint is genuinely due, and we will tell you what we see.

"Jason did great work on our home's driveway and front walkway. I didn't even notice just how dark some spots had gotten, especially our front steps, until he pressure washed them. I was amazed at the before and after! They look so much better now!"
"Jason replied promptly with a competitive estimate immediately after I reached out to him. He was able to fit me in his schedule the next day. He did a great job cleaning the dirt and algae off my brick patio. I will reach out to him with future needs and highly recommend him."
"Jason did a great job with the pressure washing of my house. He first contacted me about a month ago. (I think I had clicked Angi's List or something similar.) But anyway, when he first called me, I told him I work in taxation and would not have time to think about projects until after tax season was over, and to call me after April 17. And... unlike just about every other service provider - who would call me daily... Jason called me on April 18. And we went back and forth for a few days - mostly me asking questions... until we agreed he would pressure wash the house, patio, and driveway. And then he was available within that week! And stayed a bit longer to be sure everything was done right. Plus... he's the OWNER and started the business himself - not just someone who bought a franchise. (which is important to me - I like to support local business, even more so if it's an entrepreneur and not a franchisee.) And every time I pull into my driveway, I smile"
"We had a great experience with Jason at Clear Exterior! Scheduling was easy, and he did a thorough and professional job at an affordable price. He got our siding and our concrete looking fresh again. Highly recommended if you need some pressure washing done!"
