Dayton Power Wash - Trotwood's Best Fencing Company

Green or black staining on wood fences is usually caused by algae, mold, or mildew—common in Trotwood’s humid climate and shaded yards. Power washing alone can remove surface growth, but if done too aggressively it can splinter the wood. Dayton Power Wash uses a soft-wash system with low pressure and eco-friendly detergents that kill organic growth without harming the wood fibers. After cleaning, they can also seal the fence to prevent regrowth.

A sagging gate that drags or won’t latch properly is a clear sign that the hinge screws have loosened or the gate frame has twisted from moisture. At Dayton Power Wash, we inspect the hinge attachment points—if the wood is still sound, we tighten or relocate the hinges and add a diagonal tension rod to square the frame. If the wood around the hardware is rotted, we can replace just the damaged section or install new hardware reinforcements. This saves you the cost of a full gate replacement while restoring smooth operation.

Yes, but it requires skill and low pressure. Many Trotwood homes have asphalt shingles that can be lifted or granulated away by high-pressure washing. Dayton Power Wash uses a soft-wash method that applies a bleach-based solution at low pressure to kill algae and moss, then rinses gently. We avoid walking on the roof when possible, so no shingles are cracked. After cleaning, we can apply a zinc strip to inhibit future growth. The process is safe as long as the shingles are in decent condition—we always do a pre-inspection first.
