Concrete Cleaning done right in Durham

Concrete is porous, so whatever lands on it soaks in. Oil, leaf tannin, red clay, algae. Water alone rides right over that. The clean comes from the right detergent sitting long enough to break it loose, then an even pass to lift it out.

Concrete does not go back to white and it was never white to begin with. What it goes back to is an even gray. Most of what people read as a dirty driveway is really an uneven one, with clean tracks where the tires run and growth everywhere else.

Concrete cleaning near Durham is the service where the difference between a good job and a cheap one shows up within a month. Surface rinsing makes concrete look better for a few weeks. Cleaning it properly means pre-treating the growth so it does not come straight back.

Why Durham calls us

What you get

Safer surfaces

We clear the algae that makes concrete slick when wet.

Pre-treated so it stays clean

We kill the growth rather than blasting it off, which is why it does not return in a month.

Edges and corners included

We wand the borders the surface cleaner cannot reach.

Honest about what will not lift

Some staining is permanent. We tell you before, not after.

You hear what will not come out

Deep oil and set rust get an honest answer before you book, not an excuse afterwards.

Pricing

What concrete cleaning costs in Durham

Concrete cleaning in Durham prices per square foot, and the biggest variable is what is on the slab. Plain dirt and pollen is straightforward. Old oil, rust, and heavy algae need pre-treatment and time.

Questions

Concrete Cleaning in Durham, answered

Can you remove rust stains from concrete?
Usually. Rust from irrigation water responds well to the right treatment. Rust that has been sitting for years may lighten substantially rather than clear completely, and we will tell you which we expect before we start.
Can you remove oil stains from my Durham driveway?
We treat most oil stains with a targeted cleaner. Deep, old stains may lighten rather than vanish, and we will tell you honestly which yours is.
Will the concrete look brand new?
It will look dramatically better and even. Concrete still ages, so a twenty-year-old slab will look like a clean twenty-year-old slab, not a fresh pour. We are straight with you about that.
Will you kill my plants?
No. Beds get soaked with plain water before we start and rinsed again after, which dilutes anything that reaches them. If something is fragile, tell us and we cover it.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Usually no. Most exterior work only needs access to an outdoor spigot. We confirm what we need when we schedule.
Local

Why we know Durham

Durham has the oldest housing stock we work on. The neighborhoods around Duke and downtown are painted wood, original brick, and full mature oak canopy, which means shaded walls green up early and gutters fill with more than pine straw. Almost none of it wants pressure. We soft wash the siding, hand-clear the gutters, and keep the wand off anything original.

Durham has been on our list since 2010. It is the north-west corner of our range, it sits in Durham County, and we know which streets green up first.

Commercial

Concrete Cleaning for Durham businesses

Durham commercial work splits three ways. There is the Research Triangle Park side, where it is office and lab buildings judged on entrance glass and walkways. There is downtown and the tobacco district, where restored brick and restaurant patios sit right on the sidewalk. And there is the medical corridor around Duke, where patient entrances hold a standard of their own.

Recurring beats reactive on a commercial property, and it costs less per visit. We set an interval that suits your traffic, keep a dated record of every visit, and stay out of the way of your customers while we do it. Fully insured, HUB-certified, invoiced on terms.
