TrueDecks vs Power Washing
When making a sizable investment, it only makes sense to preserve it and keep it as long-lasting as possible. So why should your deck be any different? By routinely cleaning the wood of your deck, you can help ensure the wood stays healthy and large repairs will not be as frequent. But while cleaning the deck is important, using the correct tools is equally or more important.
Power washing is a common suggestion for cleaning your deck, but what most don’t realize is that it can be extremely damaging to the wood and the overall life span of the deck. With TrueDecks, we have created a PressureLess Cleaning & Preservation System that is gentle on wood, while still getting the job done. If you are located in the Reston, VA or Frederick, MD area, take a look at how TrueDecks cleaning system compares to power washing your deck!

Elizabeth Rabin
They did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend them. They were a pleasure to work with.
Jason Lee
For years, and at two different houses, I used TrueDecks to seal my back deck and I was a very happy customer. They always did great work. But this past Fall, I engaged them to (1) replace my back deck with a new one, and (2) repair and extend the bricked floor of my carport underneath my deck. Both projects came out absolutely fantastic--I'm thrilled with the results and so happy that I used TrueDecks to complete the work. They have a great team and the finished product is so, so worth it. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in the area who's thinking of redoing a deck and areas around the deck.

TrueDecks took down a 60 year old deck and made a beautiful new and larger deck for my home. They do quality work and were responsive to a few communication issues. I would recommend them to others!

I felt as though I could have a respectful conversation with a knowledgeable deck contractor about what I needed, and then the price was right.
Lori Burge
We hired TrueDecks after my friend referred us. We had them power wash the house and deck which was done very well. Today we had technician Selvin replace 5 rotted post. My husband built our deck 27 years ago and he is very picky about who works on it. After Selvin was done my husband was beaming. Selvin did an exceptional job. The last piece of this work will come later this week with the final staining of our deck. At this rate I'm sure the deck will look new. We have been extremely please with all the work from TrueDecks so far. I can't wait for the stain to be completed so I can enjoy my new 27 year old outside room. Thank you TrueDecks.
Sara Ahlgren
TrueDecks really came through after a storm damaged half of the railings of my back deck. They not only replaced the railings, they improved them but in a fashion that didn't look out of place with the remaining railings. They also powerwashed and stained the whole deck so it doesn't look obviously repaired.
