Because Every Season Leaves a Mark: Restore & Protect Your Wood With Nashville’s Trusted Pros

In the Greater Nashville area, your deck and fence are more than just property features—they’re the backdrop for birthday parties, summer evenings, and front-porch pride. Imagine feeling proud every time you pull into your driveway or invite friends over—your deck or fence, fresh and beautiful, showing off the home you’ve built.

It’s not just about wood; it’s about making memories outside, and never having to be embarrassed by mold, gray wood, or splinters again. Why settle for less when you can restore and protect the part of your home that frames so many family moments?

Do you really need both washing and staining? Absolutely. Years of local experience show that only the perfect combination of deep cleaning and specialized staining locks in beauty and durability that lasts. That’s why The Tennessee Outlaws bring the right touch, science, and skill—for perfect results, every time.

Your Deck & Fence in Nashville: Four Seasons, Four Sets of Problems

  • Spring Mold & Mildew: High humidity and pollen surge feed slimy patches and discoloration, especially in shaded spots across Whites Creek, Old Hickory, and Forest Hills.
  • Summer UV & Heat: Brutal sun fades color, dries wood, and breaks down ordinary stains, especially in sun-baked Arrington, Mount Juliet, and Fairview.
  • Fall Leaves & Debris: Mats of wet leaves lock in moisture, fueling rot in Goodlettsville, LaVergne, and Belle Meade.
  • Winter Dampness: Persistent wetness and freezing cycles crack, warp, and splinter decks, especially in low spots and older neighborhoods like Berry Hill and Green Hills.
  • DIY Dangers: Using high PSI or generic chemicals will scar, fuzz, or permanently degrade your wooden deck or fence. Most homeowner attempts cause more damage than grime removal.


Real Result: We’ve rescued wood in everything from historic East Nashville bungalows to sprawling Spring Hill estates—removing years of stains and restoring true beauty, the safe way.

The “Visual Multiplier Effect” — Why Washing & Staining Together Changes Everything

What does this mean? By professionally cleaning and staining your wood at the same time, you don’t just get a cleaner surface—you multiply curb appeal, property value, and the protection of your investment. When old grime, mold, and faded stain are all erased together, the color and texture of your fence or deck look dramatically new, not “patchy,” for years.


  • Instant transformation: From faded and gray to naturally vibrant—neighbors notice the difference.
  • Seamless finish: No mismatched boards or “old next to new” look—just universal, eye-catching beauty.
  • Curb appeal: Homes in Franklin, Thompson’s Station, and Brentwood have seen boosts in sale price and speed after full wash and stain treatment.
  • Long-term protection: Lock out moisture, sun, and mold with a stain that truly penetrates because the wood is perfectly clean and prepped.

Can You Stain Brand New Decks or Fences? (Why Drying Matters)



Many homeowners ask if they can have a new deck or fence stained right after installation. We can absolutely stain new wood—but it's crucial that pressure-treated lumber has had time to dry out fully first. New wood is full of moisture (often above 30%), and stain won't properly absorb until the content drops to 15% or below. We recommend waiting 2–4 weeks after installation—so your stain lasts and protects.

Not all deck and fence services are alike. Here’s how our expert crew delivers the best wash and stain for wood, every time:


1. Wood Deck and Fence Washing—Never High PSI!

  • Low-pressure, wood-safe wash: Unlike others, we NEVER use high PSI—it destroys wood fibers and shortens the life of your wood.
  • Mold & algae removal: If your wood was previously stained, we use a softwash with sodium hypochlorite (SH) to gently treat and kill mold, preserving your stain layer underneath.
  • Tailored approach: Every job in Chapel Hill, Oak Hills, Crieve Hall, and beyond—gets the right mix of chemistry, care, and detail.


2. Vinyl & Composite Fences or Decks—Special Softwash Only

  • We use industry-proven softwash for mold and grime on vinyl or composite—no harsh pressure ever, never stained.


3. Wood Staining—A Local Standard, Elevated

  • Exclusive sodium metasilicate-based solution: Our own formula pulls out the natural color and protects wood fibers gently—unlike generic stains or harsh “one size fits all” mixes. This is engineered to maximize natural beauty and protect your wood, especially for Nashville’s climate.
  • Oil-based perfection: When we use an oil-based stain, you get deeper penetration and a rich, lasting look. Our process locks in beauty without hiding the grain.
  • No flakey paint left behind: For decks with old, flakey paint, we NEVER try to blast it away with pressure. Instead, we scrape, sand lightly, replace any damaged wood, treat for mold, let the wood settle, then stain—delivering a flawless finish.
  • Only for WOOD: We stain and seal only wooden decks and fences


Unlike other companies, The Tennessee Outlaws' staining process for wooden fences and decks uses a proprietary sodium metasilicate-based formula. This is gentler and more effective—bringing out the natural color of Nashville wood, while still fortifying it against weather, sun, and time.

When Should You Refresh Your Fence or Deck? The Best Months in Greater Nashville

  • Spring (March - May): Prime time for deep washing and staining—mild temperatures help stains set perfectly. Rain raises mold risk, so quick, early cleanings are key.
  • Summer (late May - August): Great for touch-up stains, but avoid peak afternoon heat. Early morning or late day appointments prevent rapid drying that can affect finish.
  • Early Autumn (September - October): The sweet spot—low humidity, milder sun, fewer rainstorms, and beautiful conditions for new projects or maintenance before winter.
  • Winter: Most staining pauses, but we schedule quick mold treatments and light softwash cleans for decks that need it or for real estate moves.

Pro-tip: Seasonal demand is real. Book your slot now before peak months fill up—your future self will thank you!

Financial & Practical ROI: Why It Pays to Invest in Professional Deck & Fence Care

  • Curb appeal = pride = property value: Well-maintained wood makes your home more welcoming and increases its market value. Data from Nashville real estate experts shows well-maintained wood surfaces add up to 3-5% or more to home value.
  • Longer life, lower cost: Quality washing and correct staining can double or triple the lifespan of your wood—saving thousands over replacement.
  • Safety for family & pets: Removing mold, splinters, and loose paint keeps play areas healthy and hazard-free—giving you peace of mind.
  • Time is freedom: Our washes and stains last, so you spend less time working, more time enjoying the outdoors.
  • Insurance/HOA compliance: Properly maintained decks and fences help prevent costly claims, fines, or failed home sales.

You deserve to be proud of your outdoor space—just imagine the relief of seeing your fence or deck clean, strong, and inviting for every season ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions: Best Deck & Fence Cleaning "Near Me" in Greater Nashville

  • What makes your deck and fence staining process different?

    We use a proprietary sodium metasilicate-based formula for all wood. It’s engineered for the unique climate challenges of Nashville, delivers stunning color, and protects wood fibers while keeping the natural look you want.

  • Can you clean and stain any kind of surface?

    We wash all deck and fence types (wood, vinyl, composite) but only stain real wood. Vinyl and composite receive softwash mold treatment only—no stain.

  • Why shouldn’t I use a pressure washer on wood?

    High PSI blasts away the softer fibers and will leave wood fuzzy or even gouged. Our gentle wash is safer and lasts twice as long—and our team is fully trained in real wood care.

  • How do you handle fences or decks with old, flaking paint?

    Never pressure—it damages wood and can push paint deeper. We carefully scrape off flakes, sand lightly, replace bad sections, treat for mold, then stain for an even, lasting finish.

  • Do you offer wood replacement or repairs before finishing?

    Yes! We repair and replace damaged or rotten wood before any cleaning or staining. This ensures your project lasts. Our full Deck Repair page is coming soon.

  • How long does a typical washing and staining job take?

    Most projects are completed within 1-2 days, depending on size and repairs. We work quickly and cleanly so you can get back to enjoying your outdoor spaces.

  • Are your products and methods safe for pets, kids, and gardens?

    Absolutely. We use controlled, wood-friendly chemistry and detailed rinse processes—no harmful runoff.

  • What’s the best time of year for service in Nashville?

    Spring and early fall are ideal for both washing and staining. We work year-round and advise the best timing when you book.

  • How often should I have my deck or fence washed and re-stained?

    Ideally every 2–3 years for stain, and once a year for washing—timing varies based on shade, usage, and yard conditions. We’ll set the perfect schedule for your needs.

  • Can I have my deck or fence washed, but not stained?

    Absolutely. We offer washing as a stand-alone service for all decks and fences, regardless of age or material. However, staining is only possible if your deck or fence is made of wood and is either brand new (and has had 2-4 weeks to fully dry to under 15% moisture), or if the existing wood has been thoroughly dried and properly prepped. We always assess and advise the best approach for your unique property!
