Deck & Patio Cleaning in Franklin, MI
A grimy, mildew-covered deck or patio doesn't just look bad — it changes how you feel about being out there.
Our professional deck and patio cleaning delivers deep, long-lasting results that bring your Franklin outdoor living space back to life.
When Did You Last Actually Enjoy Your Deck?
Your deck or patio was designed to be one of the best spaces on your property — a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your own home. But after a heavy Michigan winter (or two), the buildup of mold, mildew, algae, and grime has a way of making that space feel less like a backyard retreat and more like a stressful chore.
In the historic, tree-lined neighborhoods of Franklin, when an outdoor entertainment surface is dirty, you notice it immediately. It directly changes how comfortable you feel out there. You stop lingering outside after dinner. You hesitate before inviting friends and family over for a gathering. The physical space is still there — but it doesn’t feel like a welcoming part of your home anymore.
The good news? A professional deck and patio cleaning changes that completely — and the results last far longer than most local homeowners expect.
The Lake State Cleaning Difference: Deep Clean, Long-Lasting Results, Real Value.
A lot of homeowners hesitate on deck and patio cleaning because they assume it will just get dirty again quickly. That is the primary difference between a quick surface rinse and a professional structural deep clean. LSC removes the deeply embedded organic matter — the mold, mildew, algae, and weather staining — that a garden hose or a standard power washer spray-down cannot fully touch. When the biological source of the buildup is completely gone, your Franklin home stays cleaner, longer.
Here is what you get with every professional LSC deck and patio cleaning:
- A True Deep Clean: We use commercial-grade equipment and surface-appropriate cleaning methods to remove years of embedded dirt, mold, mildew, and stubborn algae — not just the top surface layer. The result is a dramatically cleaner surface that holds up beautifully between cleanings.
- Surface-Safe Methods: We carefully adjust our approach based on the specific material — natural wood, composite, brick pavers, concrete, or stone — so your outdoor surfaces are cleaned thoroughly without being damaged. You will see no splintered wood, no etched concrete, and no compromised composite in your Franklin backyard.
- Long-Lasting Results: Because we sanitize and remove organic matter at the root source, your deck and patio stay clean and bright for significantly longer than a surface-level rinse. This is one of the highest-value exterior cleaning services we offer to protect your hardscape investment.
- Total Convenience: No tedious prep work is required on your end. Our technicians handle everything from start to finish, clean up the work zone completely, and send you digital photo confirmation of the finished work so you can see the stunning transformation even if you were not home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should Franklin decks and patios be professionally cleaned?
For most homes in Franklin, a professional deck and patio cleaning once a year is ideal — typically scheduled in the spring after winter grime and damp leaves have accumulated. Surfaces situated in heavily shaded areas or those near local water features may benefit from more frequent cleaning due to faster organic moss and algae buildup.
Will the deck or patio just get dirty again quickly?
A standard pressure rinse only removes visible surface dirt but leaves embedded organic spores behind, which means the dark buildup returns very quickly. Our professional deep clean removes the biological source of the buildup, ensuring your Franklin surfaces stay cleaner for significantly longer.
Can pressure washing damage my deck or patio?
Yes, absolutely, if the wrong technique or excessive pressure is used. High pressure on wood can deeply splinter the grain, while incorrect technique on concrete can permanently etch or scar the surface. Our technicians are rigorously trained to adjust water pressure and custom cleaning solutions based specifically on the material of your Franklin home.
Do you clean all types of materials in Franklin?
Yes, we do. We safely and effectively clean natural wood, composite decking, poured concrete, brick pavers, stone, and tile surfaces throughout the Franklin area. Each material requires a uniquely tailored approach, and our technicians are fully trained to identify the safest, most effective method for your specific hardscape surface.
