Pergola Cleaning Farmington Hills, MI

Our pergola cleaning process is designed to thoroughly clean and brighten your pergola while protecting the wood, fasteners, and other materials. Here is an overview of how we expertly clean your pergola:

Inspection

First, we thoroughly inspect your pergola and identify any problem areas or special cleaning needs. This helps us customize the cleaning process specifically for your pergola. We check for:

• Type of wood, metal, or other materials
• Level and type of dirt, stains, mold, etc.
• Structural problems like loose or missing slats, posts, etc.
• Previous treatments like stains and water sealants

Set Up Protection

Before cleaning, we take steps to protect landscaping, patios, furniture and other areas around the pergola from cleaning solutions and rinse water runoff. This keeps the cleaning focused just on the pergola. Protection methods include:

• Tarps
• Plastic or canvas drop cloths
• Temporary barriers

Remove Debris

We begin cleaning by removing all loose debris, such as leaves, twigs, branches and garbage so they don’t interfere with the cleaning. Debris is disposed of properly.

Apply Cleaning Solutions

Next we apply our specially formulated pergola cleaning solutions. We select the appropriate solutions for the pergola materials and level of buildup. Typical solutions include:

• Wood/deck cleaners and brighteners
• Mold and mildew removers
• Multi-surface cleaners

We generally use low-pressure application via backpack sprayers for safety and control.

Scrub and Rinse

We use various specialized brushes, poles, and other tools to scrub and agitate the cleaning solutions into the pergola wood and other surfaces. This helps lift and dissolve stubborn dirt, stains, mold and buildup the solutions loosen.

After sufficient dwell time, we thoroughly rinse away all the dissolved grime and cleaning residue. For pergolas attached to homes, we take care to avoid rinse water contact.

Visual Inspection and Spot Cleaning

Once the main cleaning is complete, we do a careful visual inspection and use spot cleaning methods for any remaining trouble spots. More cleaning solution, scrubbing, and rinsing may be used.

Final Rinse and Dry

A final thorough rinse removes any last residues. We use water blades, squeegees or moisture-absorbing towels to wipe pergola surfaces as dry as possible. Fans may be used to speed drying in shaded areas.

Clean Up and Protection

Finally, we remove all protection, do a complete cleaning up of the area, and apply protectants if desired. Clear water sealants help protect the freshly cleaned pergola.

Our skilled pergola cleaning technicians take great care throughout this entire process. We have the expertise to provide deep, complete cleaning while keeping your pergola sound and undamaged. Let us restore the beauty of your pergola!
