Fences do a lot of quiet work. They frame the yard in Barnegat and Manahawkin, guard the pool in Toms River and Brick, mark property lines in Lakewood and Freehold, and give privacy to busy neighborhoods in Middletown, Forked River, and Lanoka Harbor.
But along the Jersey Shore, they also collect everything the weather throws at them—salt, mildew, road dust, and algae—until that bright white or warm wood tone turns streaky and dull.
CamoVets Roof Cleaning & Power Washing restores wood, vinyl, and composite fencing for homes and businesses across Ocean and Monmouth Counties, using low-pressure soft washing that cleans deeply without chewing up the surface.
What’s Coating Your Fence?
If your fence has gone from crisp and clean to blotchy and green, you’re looking at more than “dirt.” Around coastal and inland areas like Manahawkin, Barnegat, Long Beach Island (LBI), Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, Lavallette, Brick, Lakewood, Freehold, and Howell, fences are constantly exposed to:
- Salt-laden air and humidity
- Mold and mildew that spread in shaded sections
- Algae, especially near sprinklers and damp soil
- Dust, exhaust, and general grime from nearby roads
This buildup doesn’t just change the color. On wood, it can hold moisture against the boards and speed up rot. On vinyl, it can stain and make surfaces chalky or brittle over time. For commercial properties—apartment complexes, townhome communities, restaurants, and offices—a dirty fence drags down the look of the entire site.
Soft Washing – The Right Way to Clean Fences
Blasting a fence with high pressure might seem like the fast fix, but it can carve lines into wood, scar vinyl, and force water into joints and fasteners. That’s why CamoVets relies on soft washing for fence cleaning throughout our Jersey Shore service area.
Soft washing combines:
- Water-based, biodegradable cleaners that dissolve organic growth and surface pollutants
- Low pressure, closer to a strong garden hose than a typical pressure washer
Instead of relying on force, we let the cleaning solution do the hard work. It breaks up mildew, algae, and grime so they can be rinsed away gently. The process:
- Uses roughly one-third of the water that traditional high-pressure washing does
- Targets the root of the growth, so results typically last 4–6 times longer than a quick pressure wash
- Helps protect the surface instead of stripping or gouging it
For Jersey Shore conditions—salt air in LBI and Seaside, tree shade in Lakewood and Howell, irrigation overspray in Brick and Toms River—soft washing is a much better match than brute-force cleaning.
Fence Materials We Clean
We handle most common residential and light-commercial fence types, including:
- Vinyl privacy and picket fences
- Wood fences – shadowbox, privacy, split-rail, and decorative styles
- Composite and PVC fencing
- Decorative metal fencing with painted or coated finishes
Before we start, our technicians take a look at the fence material, condition, and surroundings so the cleaning mix and rinse approach fit your specific situation.
How a CamoVets Fence Cleaning Visit Works
A typical fence cleaning job in Manahawkin, Toms River, Brick, Lakewood, Forked River, or Barnegat goes something like this:
- Walkthrough & plan
We review the fence line, note problem areas (heavy algae patches, rust-like stains, sprinkler zones), and confirm what you’d like cleaned. - Apply soft wash solution
Our team applies the water-based solution at low pressure, giving it time to break down buildup and release organic growth from the surface. - Gentle rinse
Once the chemistry has done its work, we rinse using low pressure, washing away loosened contamination without shredding the material. - Final check
We scan for areas that might need a second pass and make sure gates, posts, and visible sections from the street or yard look significantly better than when we arrived.
Many homeowners schedule fence cleaning at the same time as house washing, siding cleaning, or deck and patio cleaning, so the entire property feels refreshed at once.
Eco-Conscious Cleaning for Shore Communities
The detergents we use in our soft washing systems are:
- Biodegradable – designed to break down into carbon and water in a short time frame
- Water-based and non-hazardous for shipping
- Applied and rinsed in a way that minimizes impact on lawns, shrubs, and plantings
We’re always careful around landscaping, pool areas, and neighboring properties—especially in tighter Shore neighborhoods where homes and yards sit close together.

Ideal for Homes, Rentals & Commercial Properties
Fence cleaning is a smart move if you:
- Want your backyard or pool area to look sharp before summer guests arrive
- Are preparing a home or rental property in Brick, Toms River, or LBI for listing photos or showings
- Manage HOA or community fencing around townhome clusters or shared amenities
- Own a business where fenced areas are visible from the road or parking lot
A clean fence frames the rest of the property. When it’s bright and stain-free, landscaping, siding, and outdoor features all look better.
