Restore Your Concrete, Patios, Walkways & Decks — Make Your Home Look New Again



💦 What Is Power Washing and Surface Cleaning?

Power Washing is the deep cleaning of hard surfaces like concrete, patios, pavers, driveways, walkways, decks, fences, and siding using high-pressure water to remove:

  • Dirt

  • Mold

  • Algae

  • Rust stains

  • Tire marks

  • Built-up grime

  • Winter salt residue

  • Organic staining


Surface Cleaning is the specialized version using a circular surface scrubber — perfect for driveways and large flat areas.


When combined, your surfaces go from dull, stained, and aged… to bright, clean, and refreshed.


🧼 Why Power Washing Matters — Especially in Cincinnati


Cincinnati gets:

  • Heavy rain (causing algae)

  • Freeze-thaw cycles (leading to salt stains)

  • Tree coverage (leading to moss buildup)

  • Humidity (leading to mold)


These destroy curb appeal and can even make surfaces slippery and dangerous.

Power washing:

  • Brightens concrete instantly

  • Removes dangerous slick spots

  • Cleans patios for outdoor seating season

  • Keeps fences/decks from rotting

  • Increases longevity of hardscape

  • Gets your yard “show-ready” before or after major seasons


A clean driveway + walkway = the fastest curb appeal upgrade.
