We clean driveways, sidewalks, patios, and hard surfaces in Durham without damaging them.
Most of what darkens a slab is alive. Algae and mildew root into the pores and hold water there. Through a Durham summer that spreads, and a surface that stays damp is a surface that has started breaking down. Cleaning it is maintenance, not decoration.
Red clay is the one that fools people. It looks like a stain sitting on top and it is really fine grit down in the pores of the slab. Rinsing just moves it around. Lifting it takes the right cleaner and an even, unhurried pass.
There is a right order to a property. Roof first, then siding, then the concrete underneath, because everything you clean above drains onto what is below. Start with the driveway and you will be doing the driveway twice.
This is the point where a wash is still cheap. Past it you are looking at repair instead of cleaning.
We control where the rinse goes so it does not flood your beds or your neighbor.
Most Durham driveways and walkways are done in a single visit.
Flat work gets a surface cleaner, not a spray tip, so the pass rate is even and the finish has no stripes.
You get a real person on the phone and full coverage on the work.
We adjust for concrete, brick, or pavers so nothing gets etched.
We check the material and the worst spots before we start.
We apply the right cleaner to break down algae and grime.
We wash at a pressure the surface can take, edge to edge.
We rinse it down and walk it with you.
Concrete is the forgiving one. It is the only exterior surface around Durham you can clean in almost any month of the year, which means it is usually the job people put off longest and then need most.
| Surface | How often | When, and why then |
|---|---|---|
| Driveways, walkways, patios | Once a year | Year round. It dries fast in summer and works fine in winter above freezing |
| Siding | Once a year | Late April to May, or October. After the pine pollen drops, or after the leaves are down |
| Sealed concrete | Reseal every two to three years | Late spring or fall, when days and nights both stay above about 50 degrees |
Three things set the number: how much surface there is, how long the buildup has been sitting, and whether the truck and hose can get near it. A driveway on its own is the cheap end. Add the walkways, the patio, and the porch and it climbs.
These are ballparks for Durham-area homes, not a price list. The right-hand column is the part that actually decides your number, which is why we quote the job before we start it.
| Job | Typical range | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway and walkway | $150 – $400 | Square footage, rust or oil staining, years of growth |
| Drive and patio together | $300 – $650 | Total flatwork area, whether sealing follows |
| House wash, single story | $300 – $550 | Elevation footage, access, how long since the last wash |
| House wash, two story | $450 – $850 | Reach, steep ground, planting tight to the walls |
We have been cleaning Durham, the north-west corner of our range, since 2010. It is in Durham County and it is on our regular run.
Nothing we do should happen in front of your customers. We scope the job around your open hours, we are fully insured and can send proof straight to your property manager, and our HUB certification is on file with the state if procurement asks.
“Long driveway with years of clay stains. It came out even end to end with no stripes anywhere.”
“Did a great job on our pavers and driveway. Got out sap and pollen I did not think would ever come up.”
“One of the most professional and organized companies I have worked with. Driveway looks incredible.”
We fly the roofline and show you the footage on the spot. You see your own gutters, joints, and downspouts on the screen instead of taking our word for it. It costs nothing and you are not committing to the cleaning.
Free for homes and businesses across the Triangle and Johnston County. No obligation to book any work afterwards.
