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 before washing.

Is pressure washing safe for my wood deck?

Yes, if done correctly. I use lower pressure settings and wider fan tips 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?

I apply a degreaser, let it dwell, then wash. Old, set-in oil stains may lighten significantly but may not disappear entirely, and I'll be upfront about what to expect.

When I'll Refer You to a Licensed Pro

Pressure washing doesn't require a contractor's license. For exterior painting or wood staining that follows the wash, a licensed painting contractor may be needed depending on project scope.
