From the historic wrought iron fences of Avondale to the cedar privacy fences in Mandarin, Jacksonville's fences face constant assault from sprinkler minerals, blowing sand, and organic growth. Our vertical surface cleaning system restores them without the warping caused by high-pressure methods.
We start by inspecting each fence section for loose pickets or compromised structural elements. Using a specialized rotating nozzle, we clean from top to bottom at a consistent 45-degree angle—this prevents water from being forced behind boards where it can cause rot. For vinyl fences common in Julington Creek neighborhoods, we use cooler water temperatures to prevent material distortion.
The process includes special attention to gate hardware and post caps where grime accumulates. For St. Augustine's historic district properties with intricate wrought iron, we employ rust-inhibiting cleaners followed by a protective wax coating upon request.
