Fence Cleaning in Columbus, Ohio

Fence Cleaning is a fixed-price surface cleaning service for wood and vinyl fences, using a similar gentle, wood-safe technique to what we use on decks: lower pressure and a cleaning solution suited to the material, rather than a high-pressure blast better suited to concrete. This page is for homeowners who already know they want their fence cleaned and want a standardized price rather than a custom multi-surface quote. Build a preliminary online estimate in a few minutes, or call (614) 382-0000 to schedule a visit.

Is this the right service for you?

If your fence looks dirty, streaked with algae or mildew, or discolored and you want it cleaned, not repaired, this page is the right fit. Fence Cleaning is a surface cleaning service only. If your fence has leaning posts, broken panels, or loose pickets, that’s a structural issue handled by our separate Handyman Fence Repair service, which addresses the fence’s structure rather than surface grime.

Fence and deck surfaces use a similar wood-safe cleaning technique, both needing lower pressure and gentler cleaning solutions than concrete surfaces to avoid fiber damage or, on vinyl, surface scratching. If you’re also looking at your deck, see our Deck Cleaning page. If you want more than one surface done together in a single visit, such as your fence, deck, and siding combined, or you need a custom multi-surface scope, see our full Pressure Washing service instead, which is built for that kind of flexible, combined project.

How pricing works

Fence cleaning is priced per linear foot of fence, with material type factored into the approach. Wood fences need lower pressure and a wood-safe cleaning solution to avoid raising grain or splintering pickets. Vinyl fences generally tolerate more pressure but still benefit from a gentler approach than concrete cleaning to avoid surface marking. Total price depends on linear footage, fence height, material, and how much algae, mildew, or dirt buildup needs to be removed.

As general market context, not a Transit & Flow quote, Angi cites fence pressure washing costs typically running between about $100 and $350 for an average job, with a national average around $225, and per-square-foot rates commonly cited around $0.10 to $0.50 per square foot depending on material and buildup. Starting at $249, itemized at booking based on scope..

Central Ohio context

Central Ohio’s humid summers and heavily wooded backyards create favorable conditions for algae and mildew to build up on fence surfaces, especially shaded fence lines along tree rows or the north side of a property that stay damp longer after rain. Wood fences in particular can develop a grayish, weathered look faster in shaded areas, while vinyl fences tend to show more general dirt and grime buildup than algae. Freeze-thaw cycles through the winter can also drive dirt into wood grain and vinyl seams, which shows up as a duller fence line by spring. Many homeowners schedule fence cleaning in spring alongside other exterior cleaning, since pollen and winter residue tend to build up on fences at the same time as driveways and patios.

Our process

1. Online estimate or call. Use the Estimate Builder or call (614) 382-0000 to describe your fence’s length, height, and material.
