Concrete questions come up all the time, so we’ve put together clear, straightforward answers to the ones we hear most.
If you want to know how pricing works, what’s included, or what to expect, you’ll find it here.
Because we’re not the $99 guy with a big‑box pressure washer. We’re a concrete‑only service using proper pre‑treatments, commercial‑grade equipment, and flat‑rate pricing with no upsells. You get professional results that last longer and protect your concrete.
Every service includes:
• Pre‑treatment
• Surface cleaning
• Post‑treatment on premium services
• Flat‑rate pricing with no hidden fees
• Full liability insurance
You’re paying for a complete, professional process — not a quick rinse.
We use a simple size system:
• Small (1–2 car)
• Medium (2–3 car)
• Large (3–4 car or wide)
Text a photo, we confirm the size, and your price is locked in.
No gimmicks or bait‑and‑switch pricing. Just fair, flat‑rate pricing for every customer.
Normal stains are included. Specialty stains (oil, rust, battery acid, fertilizer rust, etc.) require professional chemicals and are priced per spot.
Not always. Some stains become permanent once they bond to the concrete. We always treat every stain correctly, but some may lighten rather than disappear completely.
No. Heavy dirt, algae, mildew, and older concrete are included in your flat rate. Only specialty stains require additional treatment.
No. Standard pre‑treatments are included. Post‑treatment is included with premium services.
Most driveways take 45–75 minutes depending on size and layout.
Most San Antonio driveways stay clean 6–12 months depending on shade, humidity, and vehicle traffic.
No. When done correctly, pressure washing does not damage concrete. Damage usually happens when someone uses a big‑box pressure washer, the wrong nozzle, or too much PSI.
We use commercial‑grade surface cleaners and concrete‑safe cleaning solutions designed specifically for flatwork, so your driveway gets a deep, even clean without any risk to the surface.
Yes — we use concrete‑safe cleaning solutions designed specifically for flatwork. These solutions help break down dirt, algae, and stains so the surface cleaner can do its job evenly.
For specialty stains like oil or rust, we use professional chemicals made for those specific issues. Everything we use is safe for concrete when applied correctly.
Yes — sidewalks, walkways, patios, curbs, and small commercial concrete. All flat‑rate, no upsells.
No. We specialize exclusively in concrete surfaces for better results and faster service.
Yes — as long as the garage floor is bare concrete. We do not clean epoxy‑coated, painted, sealed, or decorative floors. If it’s a standard concrete slab, we can clean it safely and effectively.
No. We specialize in concrete‑only surfaces. Pavers require sanding and sealing, which we don’t offer, so we do not service paver patios or paver walkways.
Pavers require a different process than concrete. They need joint protection, re‑sanding, and sometimes sealing. Because we focus on concrete‑only surfaces, we don’t offer paver cleaning to avoid joint washout or damage. If it’s a solid concrete slab, we can clean it — if it’s individual bricks, stones, or tiles, we do not.
No. We specialize in concrete‑only surfaces. Fence cleaning requires chemicals, soft‑washing equipment, and ladder work — none of which we offer. Our focus is on flatwork like driveways, sidewalks, patios, and concrete slabs.
Yes — as long as the pool deck is standard concrete. We do not clean pavers, stone, tile, Kool Deck, or decorative coatings. If your pool deck is a solid concrete slab, we can clean it safely and evenly.
Concrete pool decks often develop grease spots from BBQs, food spills, sunscreen, and heavy foot traffic. We clean all concrete pool decks using water only — no chemicals, no degreasers, and no caustics — to ensure complete safety around open water.
Our cleaning process removes the majority of surface‑level grease. However, deeper or older grease stains may lighten significantly but may not fully disappear. Because we do not use chemicals near pools, stain reduction results will vary based on age, depth, and how far the grease has absorbed into the concrete.
For heavy grease buildup, additional time may be required. In these cases, pricing reflects extra cleaning time, not chemical use. All work is performed safely with controlled rinsing directed away from the pool to prevent debris or dirty water from entering the water.

Yes. For properties where wash water cannot enter the street or storm drains, we use a full water‑recovery system that captures, filters, and pumps the water into a holding tank in our truck. This keeps your home fully HOA and city compliant.
Reclaim is required when:
If you’re unsure, just send a photo — we’ll confirm it for you.
Reclaim is a premium service because it requires additional equipment, setup time, and proper disposal. If your property requires water recovery, it will be included in your quote automatically.
Because reclaim adds:
It protects you from fines and keeps your property fully compliant.
Recovered water is pumped into a holding tank in our truck and disposed of at an approved dump location or sanitary sewer access point — never into storm drains.
If your driveway drains into grass, landscaping, or soil, reclaim is usually not required. We’ll confirm this when you send a photo.
Yes. We specialize in HOA‑safe cleaning. If your HOA requires water recovery, we handle everything:
You stay fully compliant with zero risk of fines.
Just text a photo to 210‑900‑2740. We’ll tell you in seconds whether reclaim is needed.
No. As long as the driveway is accessible, we can complete the job and text you photos when finished.
Text a photo of your driveway to 210‑900‑2740.

No upsells. No pressure. No surprises.
