Fence Cleaning
in Lake County, FL
Clear the Green Off
Your Lake County Fence Line
A fence sits low and runs long, often shaded along a property line or tucked behind the yard where it stays damp and never quite dries out. That is exactly the spot algae and mildew love, which is why the green-black film tends to creep up from the bottom rails faster than it ever shows on a sun-hit wall. Left alone, it climbs, and the whole fence line starts to look tired.
We clean that film off top to bottom, working in sections so nothing gets missed and the solution never dries on the material. Whether your fence is vinyl, wood, or aluminum, we match the approach to what it is made of, so it comes out clean without streaking or damage. At Fountain Exterior Cleaning, that careful, material-first method is simply how we work.
If your fence line has gone green, give us a call at (352) 989-0241, and we will walk you through what it takes to bring it back.
The Fence Types We Clean
in Lake County
We clean fences by the square foot, inside and out, and we adjust the approach to your material so nothing gets damaged or left streaked. Here is how we handle each of the three we clean most.
Vinyl Fences
Vinyl cleans up quickly with a controlled chlorine mix, worked in sections so the solution never dries on the surface. That is what lifts the green-black film and algae our humidity brings on, leaving the panels bright again.
Wood Fences
Wood gets a gentler approach so we do not cause oxidation or that fuzzy, raised-grain look. It costs a little more than vinyl or aluminum because of the extra care it takes, and we clean it in sections, inside and out, rinsing the solution before it can dry.
Aluminum Fences
Aluminum cleans quickly too, much like vinyl, with a controlled chlorine mix worked section by section. We rinse it thoroughly so there is no residue or streaking left behind on the rails.

What Sets Our
Lake County Fence Cleaning Apart
A fence is not a wall, and it is not all one material, so a good clean comes down to a few things done right. Here is what you get with us.
We Match the Right Chemistry to Your Fence Material
We never one-size-fits-all blast a fence with the same mix. Vinyl and aluminum get a quick, controlled clean, while wood gets a gentler approach so it does not oxidize or go fuzzy. We only step the chlorine mix up when there is tough orange or black growth to lift, so your fence is cleaned safely and thoroughly.
We Tell You Up Front What a Wash Will and Won't Fix
Before we start, we are straight with you about what a fence wash will lift completely and what it will not. Some marks on a fence are physical rather than dirt, and no amount of washing takes those out. You will know exactly what you are getting, so the finished fence matches what we told you to expect.
An Established Local Team That Doesn't Disappear
We are locally owned and operated and here for the long haul, reachable before, during, and after your fence job rather than a crew that takes the work and vanishes. Being from here means we know how fast fences regrow in this climate, and we plan the clean around that instead of treating every fence the same.

How Our
Fence Cleaning Process Works
From your first call to the final rinse, here is exactly how a fence cleaning goes with us.
The Free Estimate
A real person calls you back fast. Residential fence quotes are usually handled right on the phone using satellite square-footage measurement, or in person if you would rather we come out. During the quote, we explain what a wash will and will not fully clean, along with any plant-safety notes, so you know exactly what you are getting before we book anything.
Scheduling and the Heads-Up
We book the job for the day that works best for you, then send an on-the-way text the day of so you are never left guessing about when we will show up.
Setup and Plant Protection
The crew arrives and fills a buffer tank from your outdoor water source. Before any cleaning starts, we pre-rinse the grass, plants, and the whole surrounding area, so nothing near the fence is ever exposed to the cleaning solution dry.
Section-by-Section Cleaning
We work the fence in sections, inside and out, using our pressure/soft-wash system with a controlled chlorine mix, roughly one to five percent depending on how heavy the growth is and stepped up only for tough orange or black staining. Each section gets washed and rinsed before the solution can dry on the material. Wood gets the gentler approach so it does not oxidize or take on that fuzzy look.
Final Rinse and Walkthrough
We give the fence and the surrounding area a final rinse, then walk the finished job with you. You only get invoiced once you have looked it over and you are happy with how it turned out.
Fence Cleaning Pricing
in Lake County
Fence cleaning can make a noticeable difference across the whole property, especially once algae, dirt, and weathering start to dull the surface. We keep the pricing straightforward and quote the full job before any work begins.
- Vinyl and aluminum fencing, $0.15 per square foot (inside and out). This is the standard rate for vinyl and aluminum, cleaned on both sides and priced by the fence’s square footage.
- Wood fencing, $0.20 to $0.30 per square foot. A little higher than vinyl or aluminum, because wood takes the gentler, more careful approach to avoid oxidation or a fuzzy finish.
- Most jobs start around $200. That is a typical minimum for a fence job; larger fences can run past $1,000 depending on total square footage and material.
Two ways to bring the cost down are worth asking about when you get your estimate. Bundling fence cleaning with another service, like a house wash or roof soft wash, earns about $75 off. And repeat or recurring residential customers earn roughly 10% off depending on job size, our way of putting real value behind your loyalty.
Maintenance Plans
If you would rather stay ahead of the regrowth than chase it, we offer recurring maintenance on a six-month or yearly cadence. It keeps your fence and your other exterior surfaces from getting away from you, which matters here because algae and mildew come back fast in the humidity, especially near the lakes and under heavy oak cover. Repeat, and recurring customers earn roughly 10% off depending on job size, so keeping up with it costs less than letting it build back up.

Fence Cleaning FAQs
Will cleaning remove the mower scuff marks on my vinyl fence?
No. Those marks on vinyl fencing from a mower are scratches in the surface, not stains, so a wash won’t remove them; we’ll point them out so there’s no surprise. Cleaning lifts algae, mildew, and dirt, but a physical scratch in the vinyl is a different thing entirely, and we would rather you know that going in than expect it to disappear.
How long does fence cleaning take?
A typical fence job runs about one to one and a half hours. The exact time depends on the total square footage, the material, and how heavy the growth is, with wood taking a bit longer because of the gentler, more careful approach it needs. We work in sections, inside and out, so the cleaning solution never dries on the material while we go.
