Pressure Washing
Concrete does not look old. It looks dirty. There is a difference.
Most people assume their driveway has just aged. Then a section gets washed and the actual color of the concrete turns up underneath, several shades lighter than the rest. Dust, tire rubber, oil drips, and years of grit build a uniform grey layer that reads as wear, and almost all of it comes off.
We pressure wash concrete, pavers, walkways, patios, and exterior surfaces across the Carson and Reno corridor. The important part is matching the pressure to the surface. Too much on the wrong material and you etch concrete, strip paint, or drive water where it should not go, which is why this is worth handing to somebody who does it regularly.

Worth Knowing
What builds up on Nevada exteriors
Fine desert silt
The dust here is fine enough to work into the pores of concrete rather than sitting on top of it. It needs pressure and a surface cleaner, not a hose.
Tire rubber and oil
Driveways collect a dark band exactly where the car sits. It is rubber and petroleum residue, and it responds to pre-treatment far better than to raw pressure.
Pollen and organic film
Spring drops a yellow film on every horizontal surface, and shaded concrete grows a thin organic layer that makes walkways slick when wet.
Winter sand
Road sand tracked up the driveway grinds into the surface all winter, then bonds there when things thaw and dry out.
How It Goes
The Process
Identify the surface
Stamped concrete, pavers, stucco, and old smooth-troweled concrete each take different pressure. We identify what we are working with before the machine starts.
Pre-treat the stains
Oil, rust, and organic growth get treated first so we can lift them chemically instead of trying to force them off with raw pressure.
Wash in controlled passes
A surface cleaner gives an even finish without the striping that wand work leaves behind. Delicate surfaces get soft-washed at low pressure.
Rinse and protect the surroundings
Runoff gets directed away from your landscaping, and we rinse down the surrounding area so there is no dried residue at the edges.
Our Promise
We match pressure to the material. If a surface cannot be cleaned safely, we tell you before we start rather than leaving you with etched concrete or stripped paint.
What It Costs
Priced by square footage and surface condition. Free on-site estimate, and combining it with window cleaning or gutter work on the same visit is usually the better value.

Pressure Washing Questions
Will pressure washing damage my concrete?
Not at the right pressure. Damage happens when somebody uses maximum pressure on every surface to get through the job faster. Stamped concrete, pavers, and older smooth concrete all need a lighter touch, and we adjust for that.
Can you get oil stains out of my driveway?
Usually we can improve them significantly, and often remove them entirely. Fresh oil comes up well. Stains that have been soaking in for a decade will lighten but may not disappear, and we will tell you that up front.
Do you wash house siding?
Yes, using a soft wash rather than high pressure. Blasting siding at full pressure drives water behind it and into the wall, which is a much worse problem than the dirt you started with.
Do you need my water?
Yes, we connect to an outdoor spigot. If your water is on a well or has limited pressure, mention it when you call so we can plan for it.
