Now’s the Time for Deck Cleaning Before All Your Summer Festivities

Schedule Now

With summer fun just around the corner, sprucing up your Greater Cincinnati area home becomes a priority. If you plan to entertain friends and extended family on your deck, now’s the time to hire a handyman for professional deck cleaning. Some spring cleaning chores are definitely in the do-it-yourself category, but power washing a deck may not be among them. 

Safety First

Because much of your deck has horizontal, water-catching boards, water can soak into the wood, leading to mold, mildew and rot. Deck cleaning with a power washer can blast away mold and mildew, leaving the once-slick surfaces safe to walk on. It can uncover rotten areas, too, so steps can be taken to preserve the wood.

Why Go Pro?

Professional cleaning involves power washing with a high-pressure spray system. Unless you have handled such a machine before, you do not want to learn on your own deck. The water exits the sprayer so forcefully it can not only blast away dirt and grime; it can actually gouge deep scratches in your deck boards. It can tear into toes, too. Leave power washing to a professional handyman; the handyman assumes all the risk and knows how to use the equipment.

Deck cleaning with a power washer is more efficient and thorough than hand scrubbing. It takes less time and produces better results than hand washing.

Why Get Your Deck Cleaned?

Of course, months after you pay for professional cleaning, it may look dirty again. But the benefits are tangible:

  • You add to your deck’s longevity
  • You preserve home value
  • After professional cleaning, you probably will want to apply a sealing agent or stain to keep it looking great for the next few years
  • A newly cleaned deck will remind you of how enjoyable it was to spend time outside
  • You can recapture that inviting party space or outdoor area for a family dinner

Once you see the results of deck cleaning, you’ll be happy you spent a small amount to gain a lot of leisure time on your deck. To talk about deck cleaning outside your Cincinnati area home, please contact us at Apollo Home Heating, Cooling and Plumbing.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."
- Jerry A.
"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."
- Cassandra B.
"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."
- Sarah B.
"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
