Blowing red dirt, tire marks, and that gray-green film that creeps across a north-facing wall — a couple of Panhandle seasons will dull even a newer home. We pressure wash the concrete drives, walks and patios, and soft-wash the siding, brick and fences at a pressure that cleans without etching the surface or driving water where it doesn't belong.
The before-and-after on an Amarillo driveway is honestly one of the more satisfying things we do all week. Most exteriors wrap up in a single visit, and we work careful around the landscaping, the window screens and anything sealed.
The red-dirt film out here is a different job than the mildew most pressure washing fights. Wind-driven caliche and clay dust settle into the pores of concrete and the texture of siding and bake there under the dry sun, leaving a dull, reddish haze rather than green-black organic growth. That mineral grime wants a different pre-treatment and a patient rinse to actually lift instead of smear, which is why the driveway before-and-after is so dramatic.
Square footage and surface type drive the price. Open driveway and walk concrete is efficient to clean; detailed work around a patio, pool deck, fence line or delicate landscaping takes more care and time. A soft-wash on a full two-story of siding or brick is priced differently than flatwork. Heavy oil staining in a garage or drive needs degreasing before the wash. Prepping a fence for stain is its own step. Combining the driveway, patio, walks and fence into one half-day visit is the most economical way to book it.
Not the way we run it. Concrete gets the higher pressure it can take; siding, brick and painted surfaces get a low-pressure soft wash where the cleaning solution does the work instead of raw force blasting grout out of the joints.
A typical Amarillo driveway with the front walk runs a couple of hours including setup and rinse. Add the patio and the fence and it usually turns into a half-day stop.
No, as long as we can get to an outside spigot and the gates are unlocked. We'll knock out the job and send you photos when it's done.
There is no rush for the concrete's sake, but there is a case for timing it after the season's worst blows rather than before. Wash off the reddish caliche haze once the big spring dust events have passed and the finish stays sharp longer into the year. To sell or host, we fit the timing to your date.
Yes. A fence you intend to keep stained gets a controlled, lower-pressure wash that strips the dirt and gray without stripping the finish or furring the grain. If the plan is to re-stain, we wash more aggressively so the boards are clean and open to take the new coat, rather than sealing dust under fresh stain.
