Our Concrete Cleaning Process
If your driveway has oil spots, tire marks, algae, or that ground-in grime that makes everything look neglected, we can fix that. We use a commercial hot water pressure washing system with a surface cleaner attachment. Hot water breaks down oil and grease that cold water can't touch. The surface cleaner gives you an even, consistent clean without the zebra stripes you get when someone waves a wand back and forth.
Here's how we do it. We pre-treat any stains like oil, rust, or red clay with the right cleaning agent. Then we make overlapping passes with the surface cleaner at the correct pressure for your concrete. We clean all the edges by hand with a wand and rinse everything toward the street or a drain. For driveways we work from the garage out. For patios we work away from the house. Most jobs take 1 to 3 hours depending on the area.
Most residential concrete cleaning jobs in the Lexington area run between $150 and $300. A standard two-car driveway is on the lower end. Larger properties with sidewalks, patios, and pool decks will be higher. We quote every job individually.
Once your concrete is clean we recommend sealing it to keep it looking good longer and protect it from future staining. We offer that as an add-on service.
Common Questions About Concrete Cleaning
Can you remove oil stains from concrete? Yes. Our hot water equipment is specifically designed for oil and grease. We pre-treat heavy spots before cleaning for the best results.
Will pressure washing damage my concrete? No. We use the correct pressure for the surface. Concrete can handle much more pressure than siding or wood. That's why we use high pressure on it.
How often should I have my driveway cleaned? Once a year keeps it looking good for most homes. If you have heavy tree coverage or park a lot of vehicles you might want it done twice a year.
Do you clean pool decks? Yes. Pool decks, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, all of it. If it's concrete we can clean it.
