Oklahoma City's Premier Fence Cleaning and Wood Restoration Company
We provide Professional wood cleaning and restoration in the greater Oklahoma City Metro. Fence cleaning is the first and most important step in protecting your fence and bringing it back to life. Over time, Oklahoma’s intense sun, moisture, and temperature swings cause wood to gray, weaken, and collect layers of mildew, algae, and dirt. Simply staining over that buildup traps contamination inside the wood, leading to uneven color, premature fading, and poor adhesion.
At Patriot Fence and Stain, our process begins with a gentle soft-wash cleaning system that uses professional-grade wood cleaners and brighteners designed specifically for cedar and pine fences. We never pressure wash, because high pressure damages the wood fibers and leaves the surface rough and blotchy. Instead, our wood-safe cleaning solution penetrates deep to lift away organic growth, strip off surface oxidation, and restore the wood’s natural tone.
Once the cleaning is complete, we neutralize and brighten the wood to balance its pH and prepare it for staining. This step not only enhances the wood’s natural color but also ensures your new oil-based stain will absorb evenly and bond for maximum durability. The result is a fence that looks refreshed, protected, and ready to showcase a rich, professional finish that lasts for years.
Fence Cleaning Services
Having your fence cleaned in Oklahoma before it is stained is an important first step to ensure an even finish for your stain. If your fence is not property cleaned and restored the stain will be uneven, blotchy, and discolored. We use a professional fence cleaning soft wash process to clean and brighten the wood prior to applying a professional grade penetrating oil stain to protect it from UV damage, warping, splitting, and rotting. The fence you see above was NOT pressure washed, but rather gently cleaned using a chemical cleaning process. Pressure washing actually destroys the wood fibers resulting in rough surface, and actually shortens the life of the fence.

Soft Wash Fence Cleaning — Restore Your Fence Without Damage
If your wood fence has been left exposed to the elements without a quality oil-based stain, it’s probably started to turn gray — and that gray isn’t just “aged wood.” It’s a layer of mold, mildew, algae, and oxidation that’s slowly breaking down the surface fibers.
At Patriot Fence and Stain, we specialize in chemical soft washing — a safer, more effective cleaning process that restores your fence to a natural, healthy state without the damage caused by pressure washing.
Why We Don’t Pressure Wash Fences
High-pressure water might look satisfying on TikTok, but on real cedar and pine fences it does serious damage.
Pressure washing etches soft wood fibers, creates fuzzy grain, and leaves the surface uneven — which causes your stain to soak inconsistently and look blotchy.
That’s why we never pressure wash.
Instead, we use a gentle soft-wash process with biodegradable wood cleaners and brighteners formulated specifically for fence restoration.
