Driveways get really dirty.
Dirt, algae, and mildew can and will build up over time to create a dark layer covering the original beauty of your concrete. While some people decide to live with this eye-sore, we urge you to do something about it.
"So what if it's an eye-sore?"
Dirty driveways are actually much more than "just an eye-sore." That layer of dirt, algae, and mildew will actually eat away at the concrete over time causing cracks and holes. Eventually it will get bad enough that you will need a new driveway altogether. That can cost upwards of $5,000. Those cracks and holes can lead to more damages too. The driveway is connected to the foundation of your house, and if that starts to crack... well, I'm sure you get the idea.
Seriously, save yourself some money and a whole lot of ibuprofen and get your driveway cleaned regularly.
"Alright I get the idea... but I'm still not convinced."
There are more benefits to a clean driveway than you may realize. Getting it cleaned actually increases your home's curb appeal if you are looking to put it on the market. Clean driveways also increase safety since having that layer of dirt, algae, and mildew will create a slippery surface. You can also get rid of more than just dirt and organic growth if you get it done professionally. Most professionals, like ourselves, can get rid of stains like red clay, grease, oil, and more.
How Much this will Cost You.
Normal driveway cleanings range from $70-$180. The best way to do an at home estimate is by calculating the rough square footage of your driveway then multiply by 0.3. You can find your square footage by using the measure tool on google maps or by going outside and measuring yourself. Once you do that, if it's a number you're comfortable with you should reach out and schedule a free quote. We can meet in person or we can give estimates if you text some pictures to us. From there we will find a day that works for you and come out and help your house find it's original beauty.
