Professional pressure washing brings your surfaces back to life. The black streaks disappear. The slippery algae gets eliminated. Your concrete looks like concrete again, not some science experiment gone wrong.

You get your outdoor space back. Clean surfaces that are safe to walk on, appealing to look at, and ready for whatever life throws at them. No more apologizing to guests or avoiding your own backyard.

Crimora Pressure Washing Experts

Three Decades of Getting It Right

Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning has been serving Crimora and the surrounding Virginia communities for over 15 Years. We’re not the new guys trying to figure things out—we’re the team local property owners call when the job needs to be done right the first time.

What makes us different isn’t just experience, though that matters. It’s how we do business. You get a real person when you call, not a voicemail system. Our crew communicates clearly about timing, process, and what to expect. We deliver invoices in person because relationships matter more than efficiency shortcuts.

We’re certified by industry leaders like Spray Wash Pro and the National Soft Wash Alliance. When we developed our innovative cork-safe cleaning process for local wineries, it wasn’t just about expanding services—it was about solving problems other companies couldn’t handle.

Patio Pressure Washing Process

No Surprises, Just Clean Results

The process starts with an honest assessment of your surfaces. Different materials need different approaches—what works for basic concrete can damage decorative pavers or natural stone. We identify the right cleaning method before any water hits your patio.

Pre-treatment comes next for stubborn stains and biological growth. This isn’t about blasting everything with high pressure and hoping for the best. Targeted treatment breaks down the grime so it comes off cleanly without damaging your surfaces.

The actual cleaning uses the right pressure and technique for your specific materials. Too much pressure damages surfaces and creates more problems. Too little leaves stains behind. We’ve dialed in the process over three decades of getting it right.

Final inspection ensures every area meets our standards before we pack up. You walk the property with us, address any concerns, and get maintenance recommendations to keep your surfaces looking good longer.

What's Included in Professional Cleaning

Complete patio and walkway cleaning covers more than just the obvious surfaces. We clean the main patio area, connecting walkways, steps, and transition areas where different materials meet. Edge work along landscaping and structures gets attention because that’s where buildup typically starts.

Crimora’s climate creates specific challenges for outdoor surfaces. The humidity promotes algae growth, especially in shaded areas. Fall leaves leave tannin stains that standard cleaning can’t touch. Winter freeze-thaw cycles create cracks where dirt and organic matter collect.

Our approach accounts for local conditions. We know which cleaning agents work best on Virginia clay stains. We understand how to handle the moss that grows in shaded areas without damaging surrounding plants. The cork-safe process we developed for area wineries shows our commitment to specialized solutions for unique local needs.

How often should I have my patio pressure washed?

Most patios in Crimora need professional cleaning every 12-18 months, but it depends on your specific conditions. Shaded areas with poor drainage need attention more frequently because algae and moss grow faster in those environments. High-traffic areas show dirt and wear sooner than spaces that get occasional use. If you entertain regularly or have pets, you’ll probably want annual cleaning to keep everything looking its best. The key is catching problems before they become permanent. Organic stains and algae are much easier to remove when they’re fresh. Once they’ve had time to really set in, even professional cleaning might not get everything back to like-new condition.
Proper pressure washing won’t damage quality concrete or pavers, but technique matters more than most people realize. The wrong pressure setting, incorrect nozzle choice, or poor technique can absolutely cause problems. Decorative concrete, stamped surfaces, and certain pavers need lower pressure and specific cleaning agents. Natural stone requires completely different handling than basic concrete. Even the angle of the spray and distance from the surface affects the outcome. That’s why experience and training matter. Our team is certified by industry organizations and has three decades of hands-on experience with different surface types. We know how to clean effectively without creating damage that costs more to fix than the original cleaning.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt, stains, and buildup. It’s effective for concrete, stone, and other hard surfaces that can handle the force. Most patio and walkway cleaning uses pressure washing techniques. Soft washing relies more on specialized cleaning solutions and lower pressure to remove contaminants. It’s better for delicate surfaces, siding, roofs, and areas where high pressure could cause damage. The best approach often combines both methods. Pre-treatment with appropriate cleaning agents breaks down the buildup, then pressure washing removes everything cleanly. We use whatever method works best for your specific surfaces and cleaning needs.
A standard residential patio usually takes 2-4 hours depending on size, condition, and complexity. Simple rectangular concrete patios go faster than intricate designs with multiple materials and detailed edge work. Heavily soiled surfaces need more time for pre-treatment and multiple cleaning passes. Areas with significant algae, oil stains, or years of buildup can’t be rushed without compromising results. The timeline also includes setup, proper preparation of surrounding areas, and final cleanup. We don’t cut corners on preparation because protecting your landscaping and property matters as much as cleaning the target surfaces.
Plant protection is a standard part of professional pressure washing. We pre-wet sensitive vegetation, cover delicate plants when necessary, and use cleaning products that won’t harm your landscaping when properly applied. The bigger risk usually comes from runoff carrying dirt and debris into planted areas. Proper water management directs contaminated water away from plants and toward appropriate drainage areas. Our cork-safe cleaning process, developed for local wineries, shows our commitment to environmental responsibility. If it’s safe enough for grape vines that produce wine, it’s certainly safe for your garden plants and lawn areas.
Remove furniture, grills, planters, and other movable items from the patio area. This gives complete access to all surfaces and prevents items from getting wet or damaged during cleaning. Clear any loose debris like leaves, branches, or accumulated dirt. While this isn’t strictly necessary, it helps the cleaning process go more smoothly and ensures better results. Make sure water and electrical access are available near the work area. Professional equipment needs adequate power and water supply to work effectively. We will discuss specific requirements when we schedule your service.
