Professional Patio Cleaning Bridgewater

Safe Surfaces You Can Use Again

Your concrete patio takes a beating. Rain, snow, foot traffic, and Virginia’s humid summers create the perfect storm for algae, mold, and those stubborn black stains that make your outdoor space look neglected.

When we’re done, you get surfaces that aren’t just clean—they’re safe. No more slippery spots that make you second-guess hosting that barbecue. No more embarrassing stains when neighbors come over.

The difference isn’t just cosmetic. Clean concrete lasts longer, which means fewer repairs and more years of use from the patio you invested in.

Patio Pressure Washing Process

No Guesswork, No Damage, No Shortcuts

First, we assess your patio’s condition and material type. Concrete, brick, and stone each require different approaches—use the wrong pressure or technique, and you can cause permanent damage.

We start by clearing furniture and debris, then pre-treat stained areas with appropriate cleaning solutions. The actual pressure washing uses controlled pressure levels that remove buildup without etching or pitting your concrete.

The final step involves thorough rinsing to remove all cleaning residue. You’re left with clean, safe surfaces that dry properly without streaks or chemical residue that could attract dirt faster.

How often should I pressure wash my concrete patio in Bridgewater?

Most Bridgewater homeowners benefit from annual patio cleaning, typically in spring before the outdoor season begins. Virginia’s humid climate accelerates mold and algae growth, especially on north-facing surfaces that don’t get direct sunlight. If you notice green growth, slippery spots, or dark staining, don’t wait for your annual service. These issues get worse quickly and become harder to remove the longer they sit. Properties with heavy tree coverage or poor drainage may need cleaning twice a year. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your property and budget.
Professional pressure washing won’t damage properly installed concrete when done correctly. The key is using appropriate pressure levels and techniques for your specific surface type and condition. DIY pressure washing often causes problems because homeowners use too much pressure or the wrong spray patterns. This can etch concrete surfaces, remove protective sealers, or create pitting that actually makes future staining worse. We adjust pressure and technique based on your concrete’s age, condition, and type. We’ve been doing this for over 15 Years—we know the difference between effective cleaning and surface damage.
Most oil stains can be significantly improved or completely removed, depending on how long they’ve been there and how deep they’ve penetrated. Fresh stains respond much better than ones that have been sitting for months or years. We use specialized degreasers and techniques designed for concrete surfaces. The process involves pre-treatment, appropriate dwell time, and controlled pressure application. Some very old or deep stains may lighten considerably but not disappear entirely. The important thing is addressing oil stains quickly. The longer they sit, the deeper they penetrate into concrete’s porous surface. If you have fresh oil stains, call us soon rather than letting them set.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to physically remove dirt, stains, and buildup from hard surfaces like concrete patios and walkways. It’s effective for tough stains and embedded grime that won’t come off with gentler methods. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to kill and remove organic growth like mold, algae, and mildew. This method is better for delicate surfaces or when you’re dealing primarily with biological growth rather than physical stains. For most concrete patios in Bridgewater, pressure washing is the right choice because you’re dealing with ground-in dirt, oil stains, and mineral deposits that need physical removal. We’ll assess your specific situation and use the most effective method.
A standard residential patio typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on size, condition, and the amount of furniture or obstacles we need to work around. Heavily stained patios or those that haven’t been cleaned in years may take longer. The time includes setup, pre-treatment of stained areas, the actual pressure washing, and final rinse and cleanup. We don’t rush the process—proper dwell time for cleaning solutions and thorough rinsing are essential for good results. Weather conditions can affect timing too. We won’t start a job if rain is forecast within a few hours, as surfaces need time to dry properly. We’d rather reschedule than deliver subpar results.
Yes, we handle all concrete surfaces including patios, walkways, driveways, and sidewalks. Many homeowners find it cost-effective to have multiple surfaces cleaned during the same visit rather than scheduling separate appointments. Driveways often need different treatment than patios because they deal with automotive fluids, tire marks, and heavier staining. We adjust our approach and cleaning solutions accordingly while maintaining the same attention to detail. We can also coordinate with other exterior cleaning services like house washing or roof cleaning if you’re planning a comprehensive property refresh. This approach often provides better value and ensures all your exterior surfaces look consistently clean.
