Capitol Hill Pressure Washing (Driveways, Patios, Fences) Services
Let’s be honest: algae-coated steps and streaky driveways can be a real eyesore. At Neat & Tidy, we focus on revitalizing your concrete, pavers, and wood fences in Capitol Hill. Our specialized techniques, including proper pretreatments, rotary surface cleaners, and soft-wash methods, ensure a flawless finish that enhances your property’s appeal while preventing damage.
What’s the Problem?
Is your Capitol Hill property facing any of these issues?
- Slippery green/black algae and moss making your walkways hazardous
- Stubborn oil, rust, or leaf stains that regular cleaning can’t remove
- Paver surfaces exhibiting white haze, missing joint sand, or uneven cleaning from DIY jobs
- Weathered, gray fences with blotchy spots from aggressive high-pressure washing
What We Clean (and How We Do It)
Concrete & Exposed Aggregate (Driveways, Walks, Patios)
- Pretreatment: We apply a biodegradable solution to eliminate algae and oil stains.
- Cleaning: Utilizing a rotary surface cleaner, we achieve an even wash across the surface.
- Post-Treatment: A final treatment slows regrowth, keeping your surfaces cleaner for longer.
- For tough oil stains, we offer a hot-water cleaning option. Rust and leaf-tannin spot treatments are also available.
Paver Patios & Paths
- Algae Pretreatment: We start with a targeted pretreatment for algae.
- Gentle Cleaning: Using low to medium pressure with a wide fan and surface cleaner, we protect the joints while ensuring a thorough clean.
- Sealing Options: After drying, we can provide polymeric re-sand and seal services to lock joints and enhance color.
Wood Fences (and Select Wood Gates/Decks)
- Soft-Wash Process: We employ a low-pressure soft-wash technique with a wood-safe detergent for gentle cleaning.
- Optional Brightening: If your fence is cedar or redwood, we can offer an oxalic brightening treatment, along with scheduled staining/sealing.
Note: We do not high-pressure wash roofs and prioritize soft-wash methods for wood and mortar to prevent damage.
Our Annual Maintenance Plan
We believe in keeping your Capitol Hill surfaces looking pristine with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:
- Moss/Algae Control: Seasonal pretreatments to prevent regrowth.
- Even-Finish Washes: Rotary cleaning on concrete and pavers to avoid unsightly stripes.
- Joint Care: Inspection of paver joints, re-sanding, and optional sealing.
- Fence Refresh: Gentle washing with a schedule for staining/sealing as needed.
- Drain & Debris Tidy: We clear curb lines and inlets after cleaning to prevent flooding.
Our mission is to be your low-maintenance landscaping crew, minimizing problems between visits and reducing your workload.
Service Cadences
- Quarterly: Perfect for spring/fall resets and two slip-safety checks during the rainy season.
