Freeze-thaw cycles and deicing salt are hard on concrete in New Hampshire. Cleaning it in spring and sealing it before winter reduces how much water and salt soak in, which is what causes surface flaking (spalling).

Patio Cleaning: frequently asked questions
How much does patio cleaning cost in Fitzwilliam, NH?
Patio Cleaning typically costs $150-$400 for a typical backyard patio, and usually takes 1-2 hours. The exact price depends on the size and condition, and you get it before any work starts. Call (555) 010-0000 for a free quote.
Do you use high pressure for patio cleaning?
Patio Cleaning is done with pressure or low-pressure wash, depending on the surface. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is patio cleaning safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule patio cleaning?
Once a year, more often in shade. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
