Clean, Green-Free Fences for Long Island Homeowners
Coastal moisture on Long Island feeds lichen, algae, and green staining on every fence it reaches. North-facing sections and shaded runs near tree lines catch the worst of it, and the humid summer months accelerate the buildup. The growth is not a one-time event; it comes back season after season, and a fence that looked fine in spring can be streaked and discolored by fall.
We soft wash fences across Long Island, matching the chemistry and the pressure to the material so every surface comes back clean. Whether it is PVC, aluminum estate, stockade, or colored PVC, we handle the job from start to finish here at Squeaky Clean Property Solutions.
If your fence has green staining, dark patches, or lichen creeping across the boards or rails, call us at (631) 387-2156 for a free estimate. We will get you a written quote within 24 hours.
The Fence Types We Clean on Long Island
Our soft-wash process is adjusted for every fence material and finish, and here is how we handle each one.
Aluminum Black Estate Fencing
Aluminum estate fencing is common on Long Island’s higher-end residential properties, and its black powder-coat finish picks up green staining and lichen just like everything else out here. The contrast between a clean black rail and one covered in green film is obvious from the street. We soft wash it at low pressure with a chemical blend that lifts the growth while keeping the coating intact. The fence comes back looking sharp.
Stockade Fence
Natural wood holds onto organic growth in a way smooth surfaces do not. Green staining and lichen embed into the grain over time, and once it sets in it does not rinse off with a garden hose. We treat stockade with a proprietary chemical blend that lifts the growth without splintering or pressure-damaging the wood. The natural tone of the wood comes back once the organic layer is gone, and homeowners who want to lock in that restored look often follow up with deck & fence staining. We clean one side or both, depending on access and what you need done.
PVC Fence
PVC’s smooth surface responds well to the soft-wash process. The chemistry lifts algae and green film quickly, and the fence rinses clean with minimal dwell time. Most PVC fences look dramatically different within a single visit, going from a hazy green film back to the bright white or tan the homeowner originally chose.
Colored PVC Fence
Colored PVC requires extra care around the pigmented surface. The pigment is more sensitive to aggressive chemistry than standard white PVC, so we adjust the blend and keep the pressure low. The color stays true while the staining comes off, and there is no fading, streaking, or blotchiness when the job is done.
Why Long Island Homeowners Choose Us for Fence Cleaning
Homeowners call us back for their fences for the same reasons they trust us with the rest of their property.
Safe, Plant- and Pet-Friendly Soft-Wash Approach
Every fence sits next to something you care about. Landscaping, a garden bed, the dog’s favorite corner of the yard. We use professional-grade equipment and a proprietary blend of environmentally friendly algaecides with a soft-wash approach. Our crew follows extensive plant, pet, and property protection procedures before, during, and after cleaning. We pre-rinse surrounding plantings before and after the treatment and take extra care around everything along the fence line.
Photo Documentation on Every Fence Job
Before we touch a single rail, we photograph the entire fence, capturing any pre-existing damage, loose boards, and leaning posts. After the work is done, we take a second set so you can see the full before-and-after comparison. You always know exactly what we did, and you have a record of your fence’s condition for your own files.
over two decades of Long Island Fence Cleaning Experience
We have been cleaning and restoring properties across Long Island since 2006. over two decades in this coastal climate means the crew has seen every combination of material, growth severity, and access challenge. Tight property lines, fences against retaining walls, sections tangled in ivy; if your fence has an unusual situation, we have probably dealt with it before and we know how to handle it.
How Our Fence Cleaning Process Works
The Free Estimate and Fence Assessment
Call our office or submit an inquiry and an office manager gets back to you within a half hour or less. We assess the fence material, how dirty it is, whether you want one side or both cleaned, the total length, and the access situation. You get a written quote quickly, with the exact price and scope laid out so there are no surprises on service day.
Scheduling and the Pre-Service Heads-Up
Once you approve the quote, we book the job and you start receiving reminders: roughly two days out, the day before, the day of, and an “on the way” notice so you know exactly when the crew arrives. You can plan your day around us, not the other way around.
Site Prep and Damage Documentation
The crew documents the fence before any work begins, noting pre-existing damage, loose boards, leaning posts, and rust on hardware. If there are climbing plants, they are moved aside as needed based on the situation and your preference. Hardware like latches, hinges, and gate closers stays in place and is cleaned around carefully. Surrounding plantings get a pre-rinse to protect them from any cleaning runoff.
The Soft-Wash Treatment
The proprietary chemical blend is applied to the fence at low pressure and given time to dwell. The chemistry does the heavy lifting, breaking down lichen, algae, and green staining while the crew monitors coverage section by section. Heavier growth or deeply embedded lichen gets a second application. The dwell time and blend strength are adjusted for the fence material so the treatment is thorough without being aggressive.
Rinse and Final Photos
The fence is rinsed down thoroughly, section by section. After photos are taken alongside the before shots so you get the full comparison, and the crew checks every post, rail, and gate for spots that need a second pass. Any overspill on surrounding walkways or landscaping is cleaned up before the crew moves on.
Walkthrough and Invoice
If you are home, the crew walks the finished fence with you so you can see the results up close. If a section needs a touch-up, they handle it on the spot. The invoice is issued only after you confirm you are satisfied with the work.
Fence Cleaning Pricing on Long Island
Fence cleaning on Long Island starts at $100 and scales based on a few straightforward variables. Every fence is different, so we price each job individually after assessing yours.
- Fence cleaning starts at $100. The price moves based on fence type (PVC, aluminum estate, stockade, colored PVC), how dirty the fence is (light green staining cleans faster and costs less than established lichen), and whether the crew is cleaning one side or both. Longer fences and heavier growth push the price up from that starting point.
- Bundle discount available. Adding fence cleaning onto a house wash or another service earns a discounted price. The savings depend on the scope, so ask when you get your estimate and we will show you the number.
- Pairs well with gutter cleaning. Many homeowners book both on the same visit since the crew is already on site and set up.

Fence Cleaning FAQs
Will pressure washing damage my fence?
We do not pressure wash fences. We soft wash them, which means the cleaning is done at low pressure while a proprietary chemical blend does the actual work of breaking down lichen, algae, and green staining. High pressure can splinter wood, strip powder coatings, and fade colored PVC. Our soft-wash process avoids all of that. Whether it is an aluminum estate fence, stockade, PVC, or colored PVC, the finish stays intact.
How long does a fence cleaning take?
Most residential fence cleanings take about one to two hours. The actual time depends on the fence type, how heavy the staining is (light green film cleans faster than established lichen), how long the fence runs, and whether we are cleaning one side or both.
