Why is fence cleaning different in North County Inland San Diego?
Inland fences gray out in the sun and collect dust along the top rail. We clean with a brightener, rinse generously, and the fence comes back to original wood tone, ready for stain if you want it.

How does Rancho Bernardo's climate affect this service?
Master-planned community HOAs require regular soft wash on stucco. Inland fences gray out in the sun and collect dust along the top rail.
Will cleaning bring back the wood color?
Mostly. A percarbonate wood cleaner plus a wood brightener in the rinse pulls out the gray UV oxidation and the mildew. What you get is the natural wood tone — not new-lumber pink, but a clean, warm color. If you want it darker or sealed, you stain after we clean.
Should I re-stain after cleaning?
If the fence was stained originally and that stain is failing, yes — clean, let it dry 48–72 hours, then stain. Stain-grade semi-transparent product gives 2 to 4 years of protection in San Diego sun. We can refer a stainer or you can DIY — a Wagner pad applicator handles most residential fences in a weekend.
