A grey, weathered deck is not ruined. The silvered surface is oxidized wood fiber that can be stripped back, brightened, and re-stained to look new again. We restore decks, fences, pergolas, and railings throughout Sussex County, including the beach rentals that take the heaviest wear. If your deck just needs a wash rather than a full restoration, start with deck cleaning.

What Customers Say About Us!
EXCELLENT Based on 85 reviews Posted on Google Marlene KruelleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hose Bros. did an excellent job pressure washing my mom's house. When I initially contacted them for a quote, Sean responded within minutes. When we talked, Sean set expectations on what to expect. He also double checked the house was the correct one upon arrival. I will definitely use the Hose Bros. again and highly recommend them.Posted on Google Bennett AviTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Roof cleaning came out incredible. We had those dark streaky stains running down the shingles that you see on a lot of homes near the bay. They used a low pressure soft wash so nothing got damaged and within a few days as it dried you could really see the full result. Looks like a completely different house from the street.Posted on Google Otto KiaanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We manage a few short-term rentals in Rehoboth Beach and keeping the exteriors clean between peak season bookings is always a challenge. Found Hose Bros Inc through a neighbor's recommendation and decided to try them on our place off Coastal Highway first. The difference after one visit was honestly shocking — years of salt air grime, mildew on the siding and dark staining on the concrete all gone. They were fast, careful around our outdoor furniture and the eco-friendly solutions they use didn't leave any chemical smell near the entrance which guests always notice. Now we have them on a regular schedule for all three properties. Best exterior cleaning company we've used down here by far.Posted on Google Willow PrescottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly wasn't sure soft washing was worth the extra conversation but our cedar siding home near Indian River Bay had years of salt buildup and some pretty stubborn black streaking. A neighbor on our street had used Hose Bros Inc and the results were obvious so we finally called. They came out for a free quote, explained exactly what they'd use on the cedar and why high pressure would damage it. The actual cleaning day was fast, thorough and they protected all our landscaping around the foundation. The house looks like it did when we first moved in. I wish we had called years ago honestly.Posted on Google Star College SchemeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The algae on our roof off Route 26 had been bothering us for two summers. One soft wash visit and it was gone. Really glad we didn't wait another season.Posted on Google John GrantuskasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Easy to work with and did a real nice job.Posted on Google Bjorn AndresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Dewey Beach rental needed a full exterior wash before the summer season kicked in. They handled the siding, deck and driveway in one visit. RecommendedPosted on Google Cait HartmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did a great job in a timely manor. Also cleaned our deck.Posted on Google Suzanne GrossmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent job-very thorough and conscientious. Hose Bros. are easy to work with and they did a great job. Responsive to texts and phone calls. They also requested that I mention that they are very handsome!!!😁Posted on Google Michael pierorazioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used Hose Brothers Exterior House Cleaning Service and could not be more pleased with the experience. They were professional, friendly, and extremely easy to work with from start to finish. Their pricing was very fair, and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. Our home looks fantastic after the cleaning, and it is clear they take pride in what they do. We give Hose Brothers five stars and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality exterior house cleaning services.
Why Coastal Wood Needs More Attention
Humidity and salt
Coastal humidity and salt grey out softwood decks quickly and shorten the maintenance window. Sussex County decks often need restoration sooner than the manufacturer estimates.
Wood type matters
Pressure-treated pine, cedar, and composite each take different products and methods. Using the wrong stripper or stain on the wrong wood causes blotching and early failure.
Rental traffic
Beach-rental decks see constant foot traffic, furniture drag, and sunscreen staining, so they restore on a tighter cycle than a private home.
Let's Get Started!
Hose Bros Inc.

Free assessment of the wood type, condition, and existing finish.

Strip or deep clean to remove old finish, grey fiber, and growth.

Brightening to neutralize and even out the tone.

Stain or sealer applied once dry, in the finish you choose.
When Restoration Is Not the Right Call
If boards are rotted, soft, or structurally failing, the deck needs repair or replacement before any finish goes on. We will flag failing structure during the assessment rather than staining over a safety problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really save a grey, weathered deck?
In most cases, yes. Grey is oxidized surface fiber, not rot. Stripping and brightening removes the silvered layer and exposes sound wood underneath, which then takes a fresh stain. We only recommend replacement when boards are actually rotted or structurally weak.
How often should a coastal deck be restored?
A clear or semi-transparent finish on a Sussex County deck typically holds 1–2 years before it needs maintenance. Heavy-use and rental decks are on the shorter end. Solid stains last longer between coats.
Clear sealer or solid stain?
A clear or semi-transparent finish keeps the natural grain visible and is easiest to refresh. A solid stain hides more weathering and lasts longer but covers the grain. We match the recommendation to your wood and how the deck is used.
Do you restore composite decking?
Yes. Composite and Trex decks do not get stained, but they oxidize and grow mold and need a manufacturer-safe cleaning and brightening. Ask about our composite deck service if your decking is not real wood.
Do you do fences too?
Yes. Fences restore the same way as decks: strip or clean, brighten, and seal or stain. Restoring a fence at the same time as the deck usually lowers the per-job cost.
