Lynex Development
Deck Restoration in Northern Michigan
Revive your weathered deck. Professional cleaning strips years of grime, grey weathering, and algae from wood and composite decks — so it looks brand new again.
What to Expect from Lynex
Michigan's harsh winters and humid summers are brutal on wood decks. Decks that go without maintenance fade grey, turn slippery with algae and mold, and can begin to deteriorate from within. Composite decking isn't immune either — organic growth and surface staining dull its appearance over time.
Lynex Development offers professional deck cleaning and restoration using the right pressure and chemistry for the specific material. For wood decks, we use a wood-safe cleaner that opens the grain, removes grey weathering, and lifts embedded dirt and algae. For composite, we use gentler methods that clean without voiding manufacturer warranties.
A properly cleaned deck is also the right starting point for staining or sealing — we get the surface properly prepared so any coating you apply will bond correctly and last longer.

Our Process
Inspection
We assess deck material, current condition, and any areas needing special attention or repair coordination.
Treatment
We apply the appropriate cleaner for the material — wood-safe or composite-safe formulation.
Cleaning
Low-pressure cleaning removes buildup while protecting the integrity of the surface.
Brightening & Rinse
For wood decks, a brightener treatment restores natural color tone before the final rinse.
Common Questions
Will pressure washing damage my wood deck?
It can, if done with too much pressure or a zero-degree tip. We use controlled pressure and professional technique specifically for wood — no splintering or grain raising.
Do you stain or seal decks after cleaning?
Our focus is cleaning and surface preparation. We'll leave your deck ready for staining or sealing, which we recommend doing after the surface fully dries (usually 48–72 hours).
Is composite decking harder to clean?
Different, not necessarily harder. Composite requires gentler pressure and specific cleaners to avoid voiding warranties. We're experienced with all major composite brands.
How often should I clean my deck?
Annually is ideal for most decks in Northern Michigan. Decks in heavy shade or near water may benefit from more frequent cleaning due to faster organic growth.
