Deck Staining That Protects and Beautifies Your Outdoor Space

Stains penetrate into the timber and allow it to breathe, which is essential for outdoor timber. They don't peel or flake like surface paints because they're not sitting on top of the wood — they're inside it. Solid colour deck coatings are thicker and more opaque, but quality products are still formulated for timber movement and moisture.

In Queensland's climate, re-staining every 2–3 years is a good guide for most hardwood decks. Softwood (pine) decks in exposed positions may need attention every 1–2 years. Regular cleaning between applications extends the stain life significantly.

Stain cannot penetrate through existing paint. If your deck has been painted, we would need to strip the old paint back before a stain application is possible. Alternatively, a compatible solid colour coating can be applied over prepared painted surfaces.

We use professional-grade products from leading Australian manufacturers suited to Queensland conditions. The best product depends on your timber species, existing finish, and aesthetic preference — we'll discuss options and show you samples when we quote.

A quality penetrating stain on properly prepared timber is generally not slippery. For additional traction in wet conditions, anti-slip additives can be mixed into the stain — particularly worth considering for steep or heavily used decks.

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, and stains from hard surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure with specialist biodegradable chemicals to safely clean more delicate surfaces like roofs, rendered walls, and timber without risk of damage. We use the right method for each surface — never high pressure on surfaces that could be damaged.

When done correctly by a trained professional, pressure washing will not damage paintwork or surfaces. We adjust the pressure, nozzle type, and distance based on the specific surface. We would never apply high pressure to freshly painted surfaces, rendered walls, timber, or tiled roofs — those all require soft washing techniques.

Most residential exterior cleans take between 2–6 hours depending on the size of your property and which services are being done. A standard house wash on a 3-bedroom home typically takes 2–3 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote.

In Queensland's subtropical climate, we recommend washing the exterior of your home every 12–18 months at minimum. Properties near the coast, under heavy tree cover, or in humid areas may need washing every 6–12 months to prevent mould, algae, and lichen buildup. Regular washing also protects your paint and surfaces from long-term biological damage.

Yes — many customers choose to combine gutter cleaning with their house wash for convenience and savings. We can do both on the same visit. Just mention it when requesting your quote and we'll include it.

We use biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning chemicals. Before we begin any chemical application, we wet down and cover nearby garden beds and plants as a precaution. Our products are designed to break down safely and pose no long-term risk to gardens or lawn when properly applied.

Yes — we use a soft wash system for all roof cleaning. High-pressure washing can crack tiles, lift metal roof sheets, and void manufacturer warranties. Our soft wash method applies a specialist roof cleaning solution that kills mould, lichen, and algae at the root, then gently rinses off. Results are long-lasting and safe for all roof types.

You don't need to be home for most exterior cleaning jobs, provided we have access to a water source (outdoor tap) and the area to be cleaned. We'll confirm access requirements when booking. We'll contact you if we have any questions on the day, and send you a completion message when done.

Minimums vary by service — house washing starts from $350 for a standard home, gutter cleaning from $250, and roof cleaning from $700. For smaller jobs or combined services, we apply our bundle pricing which often provides significantly better value than booking services separately. Request a free quote for your specific property.

Yes — all our exterior cleaning work is backed by a 30-day workmanship guarantee. If you're not satisfied with any aspect of the result within 30 days, contact us and we'll return to address it at no extra charge. We also guarantee we won't damage your property — if we do, we make it right.
