See the difference





Gray, slick or green wood
Decks and fences turn gray from sun and green from algae. Algae on wood can make it slippery when wet. Studs With Suds cleans wood decks, fences and railings in Howard County, Maryland.
Wood needs a lighter touch
Too much pressure can raise the grain, leave marks or scar soft wood. We adjust our approach to the surface.
We use low pressure soft washing on composite decking, including Trex, as well as vinyl decks and fences. Painted wood gets the same low pressure soft wash approach.
Untreated wood is handled differently. We prewet it with water, then apply our cleaner. After a short dwell time, we finish with a moderate pressure wash.
What we clean
- Wood decks, stairs and railings
- Composite decking, including Trex and similar products
- Wood, vinyl and PVC fencing

Questions we hear
How often should a deck be cleaned?
Most decks need cleaning every one to two years. Decks in shaded areas may need it sooner.
Can you clean a deck in fall?
Yes. Clearing leaves and algae before winter can help keep the surface from getting slick.
Dirty roof or siding too?
A deck or fence job often comes up alongside a stained roof or dirty siding. Ask us to quote roof soft washing and house soft washing for the same visit. They are separate services that can be done together, using low pressure soft washing rather than the pressure used on hard surfaces.
