East Lexington Concrete Patio Cleaning

Your Patio Looking Like New Again

You know that feeling when you step outside and your patio actually looks inviting instead of embarrassing. That’s what happens when years of oil stains, mold, and ground-in dirt disappear completely.

Your concrete stops being porous and vulnerable. We don’t just blast everything off and call it done. After thorough cleaning, we apply protective sealing that creates a barrier against future stains, weather damage, and organic growth.

The result is a patio that stays cleaner longer and handles Virginia’s unpredictable weather without showing every rainstorm or winter freeze. No more avoiding that back corner where the stains are worst or making excuses about why you can’t host outside.

Professional Patio Pressure Washing Services

Over Fourteen Years of Getting It Right

Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning has been serving East Lexington and Central Virginia for over 14 years, building our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. We’re the locally owned company that answers the phone when you call and shows up when we say we will.

Our team holds certifications from Spray Wash Pro, Spray Wash Academy, and the National Soft Wash Alliance. We’ve developed specialized cleaning processes that work on everything from standard residential patios to historic properties and even cork-safe methods for local wineries.

East Lexington homeowners choose us because we understand this area’s specific challenges. Virginia’s humidity creates perfect conditions for mold and algae growth, while our freeze-thaw cycles can make stains penetrate deeper into concrete. We’ve seen it all and know exactly how to handle each situation without damaging your property.

Concrete Walkway Cleaning Process

How We Clean Your Patio Properly

First, we assess your specific concrete and identify what we’re dealing with. Oil stains need different treatment than mold growth, and older concrete requires different pressure levels than newer installations.

We start with our specialized cleaning solutions that break down stains and organic growth at the source. These aren’t the harsh chemicals that can damage your landscaping or the weak solutions that barely work. Our industry-approved products are designed specifically for Virginia’s climate conditions.

The actual cleaning uses our professional-grade equipment with precise pressure control. We remove everything from surface dirt to deep-set stains while protecting the concrete’s integrity. Finally, we apply protective sealing that prevents future staining and makes your patio easier to maintain. The entire process typically takes a few hours, and you can use your patio again the same day.

Patio Cleaning East Lexington VA

What You Get With Our Service

Your service includes complete stain removal, mold and mildew elimination, and protective sealing application. We clean the entire patio surface plus any connected walkways, steps, or concrete areas that affect the overall appearance.

East Lexington’s location in the Shenandoah Valley means your concrete deals with specific challenges. Our humid summers create perfect conditions for organic growth, while winter freeze-thaw cycles can cause existing stains to penetrate deeper. We address these local conditions with targeted cleaning methods that work specifically in our climate.

We also handle the details that other companies skip. Weeds growing in cracks get removed, surrounding areas get protected during cleaning, and we make sure no cleaning residue is left behind that could create slippery conditions. You get a complete transformation, not just surface-level cleaning that looks good for a few weeks.

How long does pressure washing a concrete patio take?

Most residential patios in East Lexington take 2-4 hours to clean properly, depending on size and condition. This includes setup, pre-treatment of stains, the actual cleaning process, and sealing application. The timeline can vary based on how much buildup we’re dealing with. A patio that’s been maintained regularly will clean faster than one with years of neglected oil stains or heavy mold growth. We never rush the process because cutting corners means the stains come back quickly. You can typically use your patio again the same day. The sealing needs a few hours to cure properly, but normal foot traffic is fine once the surface is dry.
No, when done correctly with proper equipment and techniques. We use controlled pressure levels specifically calibrated for concrete surfaces, not the one-size-fits-all approach that can cause damage. Our soft washing method combines lower pressure with specialized cleaning solutions to achieve better results without the risks. We protect all surrounding landscaping, outdoor furniture, and building surfaces during the cleaning process. This isn’t about blasting everything with maximum pressure. We’re certified by industry organizations specifically because we know how to clean effectively without causing damage. After 14 years in business, we’ve never had to repair damage caused by our cleaning methods because we do it right the first time.
Most East Lexington homeowners benefit from professional patio cleaning every 12-18 months, though this depends on your specific situation and usage patterns. If your patio gets heavy use, is in a shaded area that stays damp, or if you’ve had issues with oil stains from grilling or automotive work, annual cleaning makes sense. Patios in full sun with light use can often go 18-24 months between professional cleanings. The key is not waiting until stains become permanent. Virginia’s humidity and weather patterns mean organic growth can establish quickly, and once oil or grease stains penetrate deeply into concrete, they become much more difficult and expensive to remove.
Yes, we can remove most oil and grease stains, even ones that have been there for years. The key is using the right combination of specialized degreasers and proper technique. Fresh stains are always easier to remove completely, but we’ve successfully cleaned concrete that homeowners thought was permanently damaged. Our process involves pre-treating the stains with industrial-grade degreasers, allowing proper dwell time, then using controlled pressure and heat to extract the contamination from the concrete’s porous surface. Some very old or deeply penetrated stains might leave slight shadowing, but even in those cases, the improvement is dramatic. We’ll always give you honest expectations during our initial assessment rather than promising miracles we can’t deliver.
Absolutely. We clean driveways, walkways, pool decks, garage floors, and any other concrete surfaces around your property. Many of our East Lexington customers have us clean their entire concrete hardscape at the same time for consistency. This actually makes economic sense because we’re already on-site with our equipment set up. Cleaning multiple concrete areas together is more efficient and often costs less per square foot than scheduling separate services. We use the same professional-grade process for all concrete surfaces, adjusting our methods based on the specific use and condition of each area. A heavily stained garage floor gets different treatment than a decorative patio, but both get the thorough cleaning they need.
The main differences are equipment capability, proper technique, and the right cleaning solutions. Consumer-grade pressure washers from home improvement stores simply don’t have the power or precision needed for effective concrete cleaning. More importantly, most homeowners don’t know how to adjust pressure levels for different stain types or concrete conditions. Too much pressure can damage the surface, while too little pressure won’t remove embedded stains. We also use commercial-grade cleaning solutions that aren’t available to consumers. The biggest difference is results that last. DIY cleaning might make your patio look better temporarily, but without proper stain treatment and sealing, everything comes back quickly. Our process includes protective sealing that keeps your concrete cleaner longer and makes future maintenance easier.
