How often should I pressure wash my driveway?

Once a year is typical for Contra Costa County — late spring after the rains clears pollen and winter runoff grime. Oil stains benefit from a degreaser pre-treatment local pros typically carry on the truck.

Is pressure washing safe for my wood deck?

Yes, if done correctly. Lower pressure settings and wider fan tips are used for wood to clean without raising grain or splintering. High-pressure concrete settings on wood are what causes damage.

Can you remove oil stains from a concrete driveway?

A commercial degreaser is applied, left to dwell, then hot-water pressure washed. Old, set-in oil stains may lighten significantly but may not disappear entirely — expect an upfront, honest read on expectations.
