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!

See What Our Clients Say
Philly I recently had my deck and patio landing area redone by Truedecks, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The team, led by Pavel, was exceptional. They were not only highly skilled but also incredibly neat and organized throughout the project. Pavel ensured that everything ran smoothly, and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Carlos, who was part of the team, was equally fantastic—hardworking, precise, and dedicated to delivering top-quality work. The final result exceeded my expectations. Tracy Schneider I highly recommend True Decks (Deck Master) - Fernando Rivera came by, spent a couple hours explaining all the choices and answering all our questions. They were able to do exactly what we wanted (compared to other companies who wouldn't) and they promptly sent my estimate. (Note: They were 1/2 of what another company quoted). Since mine was a 'small' job (see picture), they were able to squeeze me in while waiting on permits/materials on other jobs. When they called right after the snowstorm on Sunday and said they could come on Wednesday, I was surprised. Selvin Aguilera and his assistant Luis showed up bright and early Wednesday in 30 degree weather and proceeded to work all day. I was VERY impressed with their meticulous attention to detail. I could tell they are very proud of their work. By Thursday at noon - another day of freezing temps and wild winds - they were finished, and it is beautiful! I highly recommend them for anyone wanting a new porch or deck. B Thomas I was very pleased with the work performed on my deck. Needed a few floor boards and handrail replaced and a power wash and stain. TrueDecks did an excellent job at a fair price. Will definitely use them again. Margarita Rodriguez I replace my deck with the True decks company located in Gaithersburg. I am so happy with my new deck. The ream was always friendly, responsive and accommodating to my needs and wishes. They did an excellent job. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality and excellent service. Karen Gonzalez The experience was awesome! Thank you for a wonderful job! Yanshuo Sun Very responsive and professional. Highly recommend True Deck if you need to repair your deck. Asha Barrett Great job, efficient! Their recommendation got the job done and saved us some money! Would use them again. Mark Nakamura Truedecks did an excellent job removing my old wood deck and replacing it with a new Trex deck. My old deck had been afflicted by a fungus for years and ultimately needed replacement. Carlos was one of the few contractors that had seen my particular problem and guided me through planning of the new deck to hopefully prevent future problems. Throughout the job, he and customer service were very responsive and attentive to my questions and concerns. In the end, I was very happy with the results! Channing Work it’s definitely hard to find a company that lives up to their rating. True Decks has been amazing. They installed a brand new perimeter fence, which ended up looking exactly how we specified. They are installing a deck and it’s beautiful and they have been very speedy but also very thorough during the construction. The two guys that have been working for us for both of the projects have been incredibly friendly considerate if there’s ever even the slightest glitch, they talk to us about it to make sure everything’s OK and then they fix it. This is the company you want to go with you may spend a little bit more than a contractor that you find on craigslist, but it’s worth it
