Deck & Patio Cleaning - Lake State Cleaning

Your Outdoor Space Should Feel as Good as the Rest of Your Home.

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 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 Michigan winter (or two), the buildup of mold, mildew, algae, and grime has a way of making that space feel less like a retreat and more like a chore.

When a surface is dirty, you notice it. It changes how comfortable you feel out there. You stop lingering after dinner. You hesitate before inviting people over. The space is still there — but it doesn’t feel like yours anymore.

The good news? A professional deck and patio cleaning changes that completely — and the results last far longer than most people 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 difference between a surface rinse and a professional deep clean. LSC removes the embedded organic matter — the mold, mildew, algae, and staining — that a garden hose or a quick spray-down cannot touch. When the source of the buildup is gone, the surface stays cleaner, longer.

Here is what you get with every LSC deck and patio cleaning:

A True Deep Clean: We use professional-grade equipment and surface-appropriate cleaning methods to remove years of embedded dirt, mold, mildew, and algae — not just the surface layer. The result is a dramatically cleaner surface that holds up between cleanings.

Surface-Safe Methods: We adjust our approach based on the material — wood, composite, concrete, brick, or stone — so your surfaces are cleaned thoroughly without being damaged in the process. No splintered wood, no etched concrete, no compromised composite.

Long-Lasting Results: Because we remove the organic matter at the source, your deck and patio stay cleaner for significantly longer than a surface-level rinse. This is one of the highest-value exterior cleaning services we offer — and one of the most noticeable.

Total Convenience: No prep work required on your end. Our technicians handle everything from start to finish, clean up completely, and send you photo confirmation of the finished work so you can see the transformation even if you were not home.

Brian and Jacob were amazing! Prompt and professional. They made the deck amd shed look brand new. These guys worked so hard. Beyond happy with them and the company.

We live on a lake and between the spiders, pollen, and flying insects our house and deck looked horrendous. Lake State cleaning just wrapped up this year’s visit and the house looks like new. The trim is white and debris free and windows are all sparkling. From booking to cleaning everyone was pleasant and professional. Brian and Ervin went above and beyond, making sure my son’s car was free from the debris that blew off of the garage. We have used Lake State for several years and will continue to do so.

Workers were very professional. They arrived on time, informed me of their plans, explained everything thoroughly, worked very hard, successfully cleaned all windows, siding, deck surfaces. I would hire them again and again. Also, price was very reasonable.

Got my gutters, deck and garage cleaned. Professionals all around? From scheduling to payment to execution. I was worried that the paint would chip on the deck but they were careful and everything stayed intact. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should decks and patios be professionally cleaned?

For most homes in Southeast Michigan, a professional deck and patio cleaning once a year is ideal — typically in the spring after winter grime has accumulated, or in the fall before outdoor entertaining season winds down. Surfaces in shaded areas or those surrounded by trees may benefit from more frequent cleaning due to faster organic buildup. After a professional deep clean, most homeowners are surprised by how long the results last compared to a DIY rinse.

Will the deck or patio just get dirty again quickly?

This is one of the most common questions we hear — and the answer depends entirely on the quality of the cleaning. A surface rinse removes the visible dirt but leaves the embedded organic matter (mold, mildew, algae) behind, which means buildup returns quickly. A professional deep clean removes the source of the buildup, which means your surfaces stay cleaner for significantly longer. Most customers find that a single professional cleaning provides noticeably better and longer-lasting results than repeated DIY attempts.

Can pressure washing damage my deck or patio?

It can — if the wrong pressure or technique is used for the surface material. High pressure on wood can splinter the grain; too much pressure on composite decking can void the manufacturer’s warranty; and incorrect technique on concrete can etch the surface. Our technicians are trained to adjust pressure and cleaning solutions based on the specific material being cleaned, so your surfaces are thoroughly cleaned without being damaged in the process.

Do you clean all types of deck and patio materials?

Yes. We clean wood, composite, concrete, brick, stone, and tile surfaces. Each material requires a different approach, and our technicians are trained to identify the right method for your specific surface. If you have questions about a particular material, just mention it when you request your quote.

Can deck and patio cleaning prepare the surface for sealing or staining?

Absolutely — and it is actually the most important step before any sealing or staining project. Applying a sealant or stain over a dirty or organically compromised surface traps the buildup underneath and prevents proper adhesion, which leads to peeling, uneven coverage, and a shorter lifespan for the finish. A professional cleaning first ensures the surface is properly prepared and the sealant or stain bonds correctly for the best possible result.
