Fence Cleaning in Lodi, CA
Grime Getterz cleans Lodi fences (wood, vinyl, and block) with low-pressure washing and the right detergent for each material. Fences on vineyard-edge lots carry the heaviest dust load in town, and sprinkler rust from hard well water streaks the rest.
The hardest-working surfaces in Lodi
A backyard fence on the edge of town takes everything the vineyards throw at it: disking dust, harvest traffic, spray-season drift. Closer in, fences collect fog-season algae on the shaded side and orange iron staining wherever hard well water sprinklers hit them daily. Wood grays and grows mildew in the grain; vinyl develops a green film; block and brick walls near Kettleman Lane pick up traffic grime.
Wood fences need restraint
High pressure destroys fence boards: it furs the grain, blows out knots, and etches lines you can't undo. We clean wood fences with low pressure and a cleaner that lifts the gray oxidation and kills mildew, working with the grain. The wood comes back several shades lighter, and if you're planning to stain or seal, this is the required first step.
Vinyl and block
Vinyl fencing (common in Lodi's newer eastside subdivisions) soft washes beautifully; the green algae film wipes away and the white comes back without scrubbing. Block walls and brick take moderate pressure plus detergent. Rust stains from sprinklers get a dedicated oxalic-acid-based treatment on any material, because no amount of pressure removes iron staining.
Questions We Actually Get
Can a gray, weathered wood fence look new again?
Close to it. The gray is surface oxidation, and the right cleaner lifts most of it at low pressure. Deeply weathered boards won't look brand new, but the difference is dramatic. Staining afterward locks it in.
Why does my fence have orange streaks?
Iron in Lodi's hard well water, sprayed on daily by your sprinklers. We remove it with an oxalic-acid-based rust treatment, because pressure alone just spreads it around.
My fence backs up to a vineyard. Does that change anything?
It mostly means more dust, more often, especially after disking and harvest. The cleaning is the same, but vineyard-edge fences benefit from a yearly wash where in-town fences might go two.
Do you clean both sides of the fence?
Whatever you need: your side, both sides with neighbor permission, or shared cost with the neighbor. We'll quote it either way.
