In Laval: Fence washing — vinyl, wood and iron, each its own protocol
Laval, across the Rivière des Prairies, lines up houses built from 1975 to 2000 with vinyl fences everywhere. Fences and structures are washed material by material: vinyl is degreased, wood treated, painted iron cleaned with neutral soap.
Fence and Pergola Washing in Laval: what the inspection reveals
In Laval, most fences are vinyl and regain their white after a measured degreasing. Each material has its limit: past it, vinyl hazes, wood covers in raised fibres, paint flakes.
A test on a hidden post sets the adjustment before going around the property. Horizontal beams soil twice as fast as vertical posts.
Fence and Pergola Washing in Laval: the method, pass by pass
Interlock driveways, common in Laval's newer areas, need a rinse that respects the polymeric sand. The scale that yellows vinyl dissolves in a mild acidic detergent, followed by a neutral rinse.
The fence then dries to an even tone, without the pale border hard water leaves. A vinyl fence regains its white in a single visit.
Fence and Pergola Washing in Laval: protecting the result afterwards
The cedar decks of Laval houses turn grey by the fourth winter without oil. Bolted joints are checked along the way: that is where water gets in first.
A hundred-foot fence washes in one morning, drying and inspection included. A wood fence washed then oiled lasts three years against one unprotected.
Frequently asked questions
Will the vinyl of my fence in Laval turn white again?
In most cases, yes: the yellow is scale deposit, not the plastic's own tint. Only deeply oxidized fences keep a haze.
Does the same wash suit wood and vinyl?
No: vinyl wants a mild acidic degreaser, wood an oxygenated cleaner. We reset the machine for each material.
Do you wash pergolas at the same time?
Yes, in the same visit: horizontal beams are brushed first, then everything rinses together. Bolted joints are checked along the way.
