Driveways, sidewalks, patios and pool decks across Altamonte Springs - surface-cleaned to an even finish, with the stains that pressure alone will not shift treated properly.
A driveway is usually the largest single surface on a property and the first thing anyone sees. In Altamonte Springs most of it is poured concrete laid in the 1970s and 80s, and after forty years of Florida weather it holds a lot more than surface dirt.
We clean with a rotary surface cleaner rather than a hand-held wand, which is the difference between an even finish and the striped look you cannot undo. Organic growth, rust, oil and tyre marks each need a different treatment, and we sort out which is which before starting.

Public-facing paths and the strip to your front door - usually the greenest concrete on a property because it sits in shade.
Poured, stamped and textured patio surfaces cleaned without stripping the finish or driving water where it does not belong.
Handled with the gentler approach a deck needs - see pool deck cleaning for the full detail on pavers and enclosures.
Treated as their own job rather than blasted at. Each is a different chemistry, and none of them come out with pressure alone.
The apron and garage slab where oil collects, degreased and cleaned back rather than simply rinsed over.
It depends on square footage and what is actually on the slab - an ordinary driveway is very different from one with years of oil under a car. We quote a fixed price before starting, and the number we give you is the number you pay.
It can. Too much pressure on aged or soft concrete erodes the surface and leaves it rougher and quicker to re-stain. We work at controlled pressure with a surface cleaner, and lean on the cleaning solution rather than force.
Usually, but not with pressure alone. Rust is a mineral stain that needs a specific acid treatment, and oil has to be drawn back out of the pore with a degreaser and dwell time. Both are separate steps from the wash, and very old stains may lighten rather than vanish - we will tell you honestly which yours is before we start.
That is wand marking, from cleaning with a narrow jet held close and overlapping unevenly. A rotary surface cleaner covers a fixed width at a constant distance, which is what gives an even finish. Striping cannot be undone by going over it again - it has to grow out.
If it was only rinsed off, a few months. Algae is a living organism and returns from what is left in the pore, so a wash that includes proper treatment lasts considerably longer than one that just moves dirt around.
Altamonte Springs has a lot of townhome and villa rows where one owner's driveway runs straight into the next. Shared driveways and walkways show the difference immediately when only half is cleaned, so it is worth agreeing with a neighbour and doing the run in one visit.
The 1970s and 80s single-family stock here sits under mature landscaping, and that shade is what keeps concrete green. North-facing driveways and the shaded strip along a garage wall hold damp long after the rest has dried, which is where the algae takes hold first.
Older concrete is also more porous than a new pour, so stains sit deeper and a surface rinse lifts very little. That is a reason to use chemistry and dwell time rather than more pressure - on aged concrete, force removes the top layer of the slab before it removes the stain.
