Concrete and asphalt driveway cleaning for Rochester and Strafford County. Oil stains, tire marks, black algae, and moss removed. Free estimates.
A driveway takes a lot of abuse through a New Hampshire winter. Road salt, sand, freeze-thaw cycles, oil drips from vehicles, and the black algae that sets in on shaded concrete by midsummer. By the time spring hits, most driveways in Rochester look significantly worse than they did the previous fall. Pressure washing resets that damage and gets the concrete or asphalt back to looking clean in a couple of hours.
We use a commercial rotating surface cleaner for driveway work rather than a hand wand. The difference matters. A wand covers a narrow path and leaves visible streaks down the length of the driveway where the pressure pattern overlapped. A commercial surface cleaner covers a wide, even pass with consistent pressure across the full width. The finished result is uniform instead of streaky. We detail the edges and expansion joints separately after the main pass.
For oil stains and tire marks, we pre-treat with a degreaser before washing. Fresh oil stains respond well to this approach. Older, set-in stains from years of vehicle parking may lighten significantly but not disappear entirely. We give you an honest assessment before we start. What we can guarantee is that the algae, moss, and general grime comes off completely.
Cars are moved off the driveway before we arrive. We move any remaining items and check for cracks or surface damage before starting.
For oil stains, tire marks, or stubborn organic staining, we apply a degreaser or pre-treatment solution. This breaks down the stain at the surface level before we wash.
We use a commercial rotating surface cleaner for even, streak-free coverage across the full width of the driveway. This is what separates a professional result from a DIY job.
We hand-wand the edges, expansion joints, and any tight areas the surface cleaner could not reach for a complete, finished result.
A clean water rinse pass flushes away loosened debris and cleaning solution. You can drive on a concrete driveway again within a few hours.
