Pressure Washing in San Mateo, CA

A driveway or walkway in San Mateo builds up dirt, algae and stains over time just like anywhere else, and it's usually the last thing anyone thinks to clean until the house is about to be shown. We pressure wash driveways, patios, walkways and fences back to close to their original color — it's one of the fastest, cheapest changes to the outside of a house, and one that most homeowners put off longer than they mean to. Shaded, north-facing surfaces in San Mateo tend to hold moss and algae longer than a sun-exposed driveway, which is why some spots need a heavier pass than others.

It's not just about selling, either. A clean driveway and a fence that isn't streaked with grime makes the whole property look kept, and it's easy maintenance to keep on a schedule instead of letting it build up for years between cleanings. We adjust pressure for the surface — concrete can take more than wood siding or an older fence can — so nothing gets damaged in the process of getting it clean. We'll walk the property with you first and point out anything — a soft board, a cracked section of concrete — that's worth knowing about before we start, not after.

Pressure Washing in San Mateo

With San Mateo homes moving fast once they're listed, a pressure-washed driveway and walkway is one of the cheapest, quickest things a seller can do before the first showing — and it's one of the calls we get most. It also pairs well with a fence repair or a fresh coat of paint, since a clean surface is what makes both of those actually stand out. A pressure-washed exterior is also one of the quickest ways to see whether paint or a fence repair is actually needed, since grime hides a lot that clean surfaces show plainly.

Questions about pressure washing in San Mateo

How often should a driveway be pressure washed?

Once a year keeps most driveways looking good; more often if it's shaded or gets a lot of foot traffic. If you're getting ready to sell, it's worth doing right before the first showing.

Can you do fences too, or just concrete?

Both — driveways, patios, walkways and wood fences. Wood needs a lighter touch than concrete, which we adjust for so it doesn't damage the wood.
