How do you remove algae from a patio?
The right method depends on whether the patio is concrete, stone, pavers, or another surface. The estimate should start with surface type, buildup, drainage, and nearby delicate areas.
What makes patios slippery-looking after rain?
Shade, pollen, leaves, moisture, and organic buildup can leave a slick-looking film. Cleaning can improve the buildup, but the surface condition still matters.
Do you move patio furniture?
That should be confirmed before scheduling. Small items may be simple; heavy furniture, planters, and grills can affect price and timing.
Can steps and walkways be cleaned too?
Yes. Mention steps, walkways, landings, and entry paths in the estimate so they are included in the written scope.
Is walkway cleaning the same as driveway cleaning?
Not always. Walkway cleaning usually covers entry paths, landings, steps, patios, and smaller outdoor surfaces. Driveway cleaning focuses on concrete lanes, garage aprons, tire marks, oil, rust, salt, and front-entry concrete. List both if they should be quoted together.
Will pressure washing damage stone or pavers?
It can if the wrong method is used. Stone, concrete, pavers, joints, old sealers, and loose edges should be reviewed before cleaning.
When should a paver patio use the paver-cleaning path?
Use paver cleaning when the surface has paver joints, joint sand, weeds, old sealer, loose edges, sunken sections, or possible re-sanding questions. A plain concrete patio or walkway can usually start on the patio and walkway path.
Should a Lake Hopatcong patio and fence go in one request?
Yes if the homeowner wants one estimate, but the request should still separate patio material, walkway or step areas, fence material, gates, plants, and water access.
