Driveway Cleaning in Talmadge

Driveway cleaning in Talmadge runs $150 to $300 for a typical 400 to 700 square foot concrete slab, and $150 to $350 for pavers that need joint sand replaced. Most jobs take 45 to 90 minutes.

What we see on Talmadge driveways

Many of the homes around Euclid Avenue and Monroe Avenue have long, narrow single-width drives running down the side of the lot to a detached garage. The concrete is older, the surface aggregate sits close to the top, and a rotary tip held in one spot will leave a stripe you cannot remove.

So we use a 20 inch surface cleaner at 3000 PSI and 4 GPM. It spreads the force across a spinning bar and leaves an even finish.

Oil and rust stains

Transmission and oil stains are the usual problem under the carport. On a driveway off Euclid last spring the slab itself was a 50 minute pass. Two oil stains took another 40 minutes with a degreaser dwell and hot water at 180 degrees. That kind of stain needs chemistry and time, not more pressure, and it adds $75 to $250 to the quote.

Pavers and brick

Pavers get handled separately. We drop to 1200 to 1500 PSI, pull the loose joint sand with the rinse, and re-sand with polymeric sand. Skip that step and the joints start shifting within a season.

Timing around the marine layer

Talmadge sits inland enough that concrete dries quickly by midday, but the morning marine layer in May and June keeps algae alive on shaded north-facing drives. We book those early so the slab dries before we leave.

If your driveway runs along the canyon edge and we cannot get the truck within 100 feet, that means extra hose and a longer day. We tell you before we start, not on the invoice.
