Finicky Window Cleaning has served Pinellas and Hillsborough County since 2002. High humidity, regular rain, and shaded fence lines create near-perfect conditions for mold, mildew, and algae. Coastal air pushes grime into wood grain and composite panels, and left untreated, that buildup leads to discoloration, slippery surfaces, and a fence that pulls down the look of the whole property.
Our approach is chemical-first. We apply the right solution, let it work, then rinse with light, controlled pressure. High-pressure blasting scars wood grain, raises fibers, strips paint or stain, and forces water into seams where rot starts. The chemistry does the work; the rinse finishes it. One honest note: older or porous materials may still show shadowing after cleaning, and that reflects the material’s age, not incomplete work. We walk the fence with you before we start and set clear expectations. Many customers also schedule fence cleaning alongside other services because of the $300 minimum, since bundling makes for a more efficient visit and better results across the whole property.
Most fence cleaning jobs in this area fall between $300 and $500, with a $300 minimum service charge. That range reflects real job-to-job differences. Here is what we look at when building your quote:
Many residential jobs can be quoted over the phone, and our lead technician walks the fence before starting to confirm scope and align on price before anything gets wet.
Florida’s humidity and growth cycles mean some properties genuinely benefit from more frequent cleaning than a single annual visit, and folding fence cleaning into a regular maintenance schedule alongside other services keeps the visit efficient and the cost reasonable.
Recurring schedule options run monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, and yearly. If you are not sure how often your fence realistically needs attention, we will give you a straight answer based on what we see during the initial job. If your fence-only project sits close to the minimum, a quick call to talk through bundling is worth it.
Composite fencing has become the dominant choice across Pinellas and Hillsborough County, and it is easy to see why. With year-round heat, salt air off the Gulf, and the kind of humidity that never really lets up, composite holds up far better than wood does in this climate. It also responds well to cleaning when the right method is used. We apply the appropriate solution for the fence’s condition, then rinse lightly with controlled pressure and the correct nozzle. Technique still matters, since uneven rinsing leaves streaks and blotchy patches, so we take time to produce a consistent finish across the full surface. If you are also considering residential pressure washing services for other parts of your property, composite fencing fits naturally into the same visit.
Wood fencing is a harder maintenance challenge here than it is almost anywhere else in the country. The combination of intense sun, salt-laden coastal air, and near-constant humidity that defines life along the Gulf Coast accelerates aging in a way that catches many homeowners off guard, and a fence that looks solid from a distance may be far more porous and fragile up close. High pressure on aging wood scars grain, raises fibers, and strips stain or paint, so we rely on chemical-led cleaning, minimal pressure, and a careful rinse that treats the surface as gently as conditions allow. Before we apply anything, we inspect for loose boards, failing paint, and spots that need a lighter touch, and some deep staining may not fully clear due to porosity and age, which we will tell you upfront after the walk-around. We do not offer wood restoration or refinishing, and if that is what the fence actually needs, we will say so clearly.
When buildup is significant, we may use a stronger proprietary solution before rinsing. Our proprietary cleaning solution is environmentally safe for humans and pets. We dilute as conditions require, pre-water nearby vegetation, and confirm pets are away from the work area before applying anything.
We apply the right solution and rinse lightly. Pressure is a finishing step, not the main event. On fences, that distinction matters: high-pressure rinsing scars grain, strips coatings, and drives water into board seams where rot begins.
Our proprietary solution is environmentally safe for humans and pets. We pre-water vegetation before applying anything, dilute solutions as conditions require, and confirm pets are secured before we start. These steps are part of every job.
Our lead technician walks the full fence line before picking up any equipment, checking for existing damage, loose boards, failing paint, and areas that need a different approach. This protects your property and sets accurate expectations before work begins.
After booking, you get a confirmation email with your schedule and prep instructions, a reminder email seven days out, and a text two days before service. On the day, your technician sends an ETA, introduces themselves at the door, and reviews scope and price before starting. When the job is done, they walk the results with you and handle payment. A follow-up email arrives two to three days later. Our office answers calls Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with an answering service available outside those hours.
We carry full insurance for our employees, customers’ properties, and vehicles, follow OSHA guidelines on every job, and hold membership in the International Window Cleaning Association. We are also BBB Accredited.
Every job is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something wasn’t right, we investigate, confirm what happened, and return to fix it at no extra charge.
Call or reach out online and we’ll discuss your fence: length, material, access, and condition. Most residential jobs can be quoted over the phone. We provide a written estimate and walk through scope and pricing before anything is scheduled.
You’ll get a confirmation email with your appointment details and prep checklist, a reminder email seven days out, and a text two days before service. Clear access along the fence line, move small obstacles, and secure pets before we arrive.
Your technician confirms scope and price at the door, then walks the fence line checking for existing damage, weak boards, and sensitive areas. If anything changes the plan, we discuss it before cleaning starts.
We pre-water landscaping, dilute solutions as conditions require, and confirm no pets are in or near the work area before applying anything.
We select the solution based on your fence material and the level and type of buildup. Significant mold may call for a stronger proprietary solution. All solutions are environmentally safe for humans and pets.
We rinse with light, controlled pressure using the correct nozzle for the material. For stubborn buildup, our hot water unit handles what a cold rinse alone cannot.
We check for missed spots and uneven results, address anything needing a second pass, then walk the completed job with you and handle payment. If you’re not home, we document the work and email your invoice.
A follow-up email goes out two to three days after service. If anything isn’t right, reach out and we’ll return under the satisfaction policy.
Every fence cleaning job is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something was missed or didn’t meet your expectations, here is how we handle it:
That is not a policy buried somewhere in fine print. It is the standard we hold on every job we take.
Yes. Our proprietary cleaning solution is environmentally safe for humans and pets. We dilute solutions as needed, pre-water nearby vegetation before we start, and ask that pets are kept away from the work area during the service. Once the rinse is complete and the area has dried, your yard is ready for normal use.
Our process is built to reduce that risk by relying on our cleaning solution and a controlled, low-pressure rinse rather than high-pressure blasting. We also walk the fence before we start to identify fragile areas, loose boards, and surfaces where paint or stain is already failing, then adjust the approach accordingly. Wood fences in Florida’s climate carry more inherent risk than composite, and we’ll be straight with you about what the fence can handle before we begin.
Clear access along the fence line and secure pets away from the work area. We send preparation guidance in your confirmation email and go over any important details before we start. If anything in the prep instructions is unclear, a quick call to our office will sort it out.
It depends on the fence’s length, how accessible it is, and the level of buildup we’re working with. We’ll share a time estimate during scheduling and confirm it again on-site before we start.
Older or porous materials can hold deep staining that reflects their age and condition rather than surface dirt alone. Our focus is on safely removing organic growth and grime without damaging the fence. After the on-site inspection, we’ll set clear expectations about what cleaning can realistically achieve given the fence’s current state.
Yes. We offer recurring service schedules at monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual intervals.
We can still complete the scheduled work. Your technician documents the job on the work order, and the office sends your invoice by email afterward. We also follow up two to three days later to make sure you’re happy with the results.
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and will come back to address anything that was missed or didn’t meet your expectations. We review what happened first, then schedule a return visit to make it right at no additional charge.
