Green algae on the shaded side
The side of the fence that never gets sun turns green first, which is why fences often look clean from the street and dirty from the yard.
Fence Cleaning in Fayetteville, NC
Vinyl, wood, and metal fencing cleaned back to its original color across Fayetteville, Hope Mills, and nearby areas.
What fence cleaning involves
Fences take weather from both sides and rarely get cleaned, so they tend to be the greenest thing on a property. The shaded face picks up algae, the bottom rails collect soil splash, and wood pickets gray out from sun exposure.
Carolina Veteran Exterior Restoration cleans both sides of the fence line and adjusts pressure to the material — soft washing vinyl and aluminum, and using a gentler approach on wood so pickets are not left furred or gouged.

What fence cleaning removes
Black mildew and weather staining
Dark streaking and blotching from years of rain, humidity, and airborne dirt.
Soil splash and clay staining
Rain kicks red clay onto the bottom rails and pickets, leaving an orange band along the base.
Graying wood
Cleaning strips the oxidized surface layer off wood pickets so the fence looks uniform again.
Why clean your fence
A fence runs the length of the yard, so its condition sets the tone for the whole property. A clean fence line makes the lawn, the deck, and the house all read better.
For wood fencing, cleaning is also the correct first step before any stain or sealer goes on. Applying stain over algae traps the growth underneath and shortens the life of the finish.
How we clean fences
- 1
Walk the fence line
We identify material, loose boards, and the areas with the heaviest growth, then quote by the run.
- 2
Protect the landscaping
Beds and plantings along the fence are pre-wet and rinsed afterward.
- 3
Apply cleaning solution
Solution is applied to both faces and given dwell time so the algae releases without heavy pressure.
- 4
Clean at the right pressure
Vinyl and metal are soft washed; wood is cleaned gently along the grain to protect the pickets.
- 5
Rinse both sides
The full fence line is rinsed top to bottom and we walk it with you before finishing.
