Concrete and Paver Cleaning in Richmond, IN

Drives, walks, patios, pool decks and commercial walkways through a rotary surface cleaner, with oil and rust treatment where it is needed. If that is what your Richmond property needs, the next step is a number, and getting one costs nothing. Most residential work is priced remotely and booked the same week.

Budget for a Richmond property. $200 – $450 for 400 to 800 sq ft. Where it lands inside that range comes down to size, access and how long it has been since the last clean. See the price guide for the rest of the list.

Why the driveway is where the difference shows

Concrete is the one exterior surface that genuinely wants high pressure, and it is also where a rented machine gives itself away. A wand cleans in stripes, because the fan is narrow and the overlaps show up the moment the slab dries.

A rotary surface cleaner puts two jets on a spinning bar under a shroud, so a Richmond drive comes out one even color from the garage to the street.

Softer surfaces we get asked about

Painted wood, stained wood, stucco, EIFS, screens and older mortar all fail under pressure long before they look clean. They are soft washed, at a pressure set to the surface rather than to the schedule, and where a surface cannot be cleaned safely at all we say so.

If you are not sure which category your Richmond property falls into, send a photo. That is usually enough for us to tell you.

Getting a number for your Richmond address

Two or three photos from your phone and the address are usually enough. Property records give us the footprint, satellite measurement gives us the roof and the drive, and the photos tell us the condition.

Where that is not enough we come out and look, at no cost and with nothing attached to it.

Concrete is where pressure belongs

This is the one exterior surface that genuinely wants high pressure, and it is also where the difference between a professional and a rented machine is most visible from the street. A wand cleans in stripes. It cannot help it: the fan is narrow, the operator is human, and the overlaps show up as a zebra pattern the moment the slab dries.

A rotary surface cleaner puts two jets on a spinning bar under a shroud, so the whole width is cleaned at one consistent standoff. The slab comes out even.

Rentals, HOAs and property managers

Plenty of the work we do in Richmond is not for the person who lives there. Rental turns, association common areas, small commercial buildings and multi property portfolios all get quoted the same way, with one point of contact and one invoice.

If that is you, say so on the first message and we will price the whole list rather than one address. There is more on the commercial page.

What we will not take on

We do not do handyman work, landscaping, painting, roof replacement or major roof repair, construction, remodeling or interior cleaning. We are an exterior cleaning company and nothing else.

We also decline any job where high pressure would create an unreasonable risk of damaging the surface, rather than doing it and hoping. A refused job is cheaper for everyone than a repaired one.

Booking two services on one visit

Most of the cost of a small job is getting a crew, a truck and water to the property. Once we are there, a second surface costs a fraction of what it would cost as its own visit.

In Richmond the pairings that come up most are a house wash with the drive, and a roof clean with the gutters. Ask when you call and the estimate will show both ways.

Concrete & Pavers around Richmond

Richmond sits in Wayne County and carries house washing, roof cleaning and concrete as standing services. When we are here we are usually also in New Castle, Marion and Greenfield, so a job booked alongside one of those is easier to schedule and cheaper to run than a single trip.

Anything on our list that Richmond does not have its own page for can still be done here as part of a visit. Ask when you call and the estimate will show it both ways.

Wood, and the damage that does not wash out

Weathered decking is soft. A wand at full strength on a dry board raises the grain, cuts furrows along the soft summer wood, and leaves a surface that will not take stain evenly. Short of sanding the whole deck, that is permanent.

We clean Richmond decks with a solution and a pressure set to the board in front of us. The gray goes and the wood stays where it was.

What is included

• Driveways, sidewalks, patios and pool decks
• Rotary surface cleaner, no wand stripes
• Specialized treatment for oil, rust and other staining

Hard water, and why glass gets purified water instead

Water in this part of Indiana is hard, and hard water dries to a spot however well the glass was washed. A water fed pole filters the water before it ever reaches the window, so there is nothing left behind to dry.

It also means upstairs glass on a Richmond home is cleaned from the ground, which is faster and safer than putting a ladder against every opening.

Booked with something else

The crew is already at the property with water and access, so adding a second service costs a fraction of booking it as its own visit. In Richmond the pairings that come up most are house washing, roof cleaning.
