What this covers
This page is for every other slab on the property: back patios, side walks, pool decks, porch steps, and garage floors. Most people add these to a driveway clean, and doing it all in one visit costs less.
Stamped and colored concrete
Stamped concrete has a thin color layer on top, so we lower the pressure and let the cleaner do more of the work. If it was sealed before and the old sealer is worn or peeling, a clean won't fix that. We can quote a strip and reseal.
Garage floors
We start at the back wall and work toward the door so the dirty water ends up outside. Clear the floor before we come, or at least push everything back to the walls. Painted and epoxy floors get a gentler clean.
Pool decks
Pool decks often have a white crust from hard water and splash-out. That takes a scale remover before the wash. We keep the runoff out of the pool.
What cleaning won't fix
Cleaning won't close cracks or fix spalling, the flaking you see where deicer has worn off the top layer. It does make those spots easier to see, and we'll point them out to you.
Questions
How is it priced?
By the square foot, usually $0.18 to $0.40 depending on how dirty it is and how much edge work there is.
Can you work around the hot tub and furniture?
We'll work around a hot tub. Furniture and planters should be moved off the slab before we arrive.
How long does a patio take?
An hour or two on its own. Less if we're already there for the driveway.
Should I seal it after?
On patios and walks that see deicer or a lot of sprinkler water, it's worth it. Sealing is a separate visit once the concrete is dry.
