That grey, slippery surface isn't dead wood — it's years of UV damage, algae, mold, and leaf tannins sitting on top of perfectly good lumber. A garden hose won't touch it. DJ at Mechanical Magic uses controlled-pressure cleaning and wood brighteners to strip away the grey and reveal the warm, natural wood hiding underneath — without gouging, splintering, or damaging a single board.
Grey, moldy wood deck? It's not ruined. DJ strips the grey away and restores natural wood color — safely, without damage.
Canton's humid climate is brutal on outdoor wood. Warm temperatures and constant moisture create the perfect breeding ground for algae, mold, and mildew. Add in UV damage that breaks down the surface fibers, and within 2–3 years your beautiful deck turns into a grey, slippery eyesore. Most homeowners assume the wood itself is damaged. It's almost never the case.
A neglected deck isn't just ugly — it's a safety hazard. Wet algae-covered boards are dangerously slippery. Mold growth can trigger allergies. And that deteriorating surface actively reduces your home's value. Professional cleaning removes all of it and reveals the warm, natural wood still hiding underneath — often making the deck look like it was just built.
Same deck. Same day. No replacement, no new boards — just proper cleaning and brightening that reveals the wood you forgot was there.
Wood-safe techniques. Professional-grade solutions. Results that make homeowners think they got a new deck.
We apply a sodium percarbonate cleaning solution across all surfaces. This oxygen-based cleaner penetrates the wood pores and breaks the bond between mold, algae, and the wood fibers — without harsh bleach that can damage or discolor.
Using low-to-moderate pressure, DJ works with the wood grain to lift all contamination. Never the 3,000+ PSI that gouges soft wood — just enough force combined with the pre-treatment to remove years of buildup safely.
After cleaning, we apply an oxalic acid wood brightener. This neutralizes the pH, removes any remaining grey oxidation, and restores the warm natural tone of the wood — opening pores for optimal stain/sealant absorption.
Final rinse removes all solution and debris. We walk the entire deck with you — railings, spindles, steps, boards — to ensure you're thrilled with every surface before we pack up.
Whether your outdoor space is a pressure-treated pine deck, a composite Trex surface, or a concrete patio — DJ has the equipment, solutions, and technique to clean it properly without damage. Different materials require completely different approaches. Using the wrong pressure or chemicals can splinter wood, void composite warranties, or etch concrete.
Also cleans: Deck stairs, railings, spindles, benches, pergolas, gazebos, boardwalks, pool decks, and any other outdoor wood or concrete surface.

"DJ did an amazing job on a very large, dirty driveway after some major backyard renovations! The fence was pretty dirty and had a lot of mildew that he took care of. Great communication, professional and did great work. As a contractor, this is probably more important to me than most homeowners. Will continue to use him on future projects!"
"We had the house and driveway pressure washed and both have never looked better! DJ was pleasant, professional, and worked diligently to complete the work even after the sun had set. We are quite impressed with both DJ and the results of his work; we recommend his pressure washing service and have retained his card for future services."
