General Cleaning
Concrete floors should be cleaned at least once a year to keep them in tip-top shape. Before starting, remove any items from the area—if it’s an outdoor patio, remove all potted plants, furniture, and decorative items. Do a spot test by testing your cleaner in an inconspicuous area to ensure your method will not cause any additional discoloration or damage to your concrete.
To clean a concrete floor in your basement, you may need to do it in sections by moving everything from one side of the room to the other, and then switching back to finish the job.
Graffiti Removal
Although some consider graffiti a form of art and self-expression, it becomes a crime when applied to private property without the property owner’s permission.
Vandals use art materials, such as permanent ink and spray paint, to draw symbols, pictures and words on buildings, bridges and various masonry surfaces. Concrete’s smooth, porous texture provides an ideal surface for graffiti. Graffiti quickly penetrates concrete and becomes harder to wash off with passing time.

New Construction Cleanup
After a full construction job or a renovation project comes the clean-up, accomplished all at once or in phases. It all depends on the size of your cleanup needs.
During this phase, the use of a pressure washer is normally essential. For concrete and new brick surfaces, it is recommended to use a pressure level of 2,500 PSI, a 25-degree nozzle, and a cleaning detergent.
Other surfaces like wood, vinyl, stucco, and stone are best cleaned using soft washing. These materials require a lower pressure level and more cleaning solutions.
Concrete Sealing
Concrete sealers protect your concrete from weather exposure, water, grease and oil stains, abrasion and deicing salts. They also help bring out the natural beauty of your concrete and make it easier to clean. But in order for a sealer to work, it must be applied properly. Each step will have an impact on the final outcome. Following are some tips for applying concrete sealer properly.
We use a 7 step process to properly seal your concrete.
Ensure it is done properly, hire an expert.
Patio Protection
After cleaning or restoring your driveway or patio surface there is the option of sealing it with a premium grade acrylic or polyurethane driveway or patio sealer – most sealers are available as a traditional matt sealer (low sheen) or the popular gloss sealer (high sheen – wet look). These are more suited to manufactured driveway surfaces such as Pattern imprinted concrete and Block paving.
Routine Maintenance
roper concrete maintenance can be the difference between still looking new years later and a surface people walk across fearing for their safety. While concrete is a long-lasting, durable material, it still requires maintenance to ensure longevity. Concrete repairs can be expensive and intensive, but you can largely avoid them with proper concrete maintenance.
Concrete maintenance covers all the steps you take to keep your structure looking and functioning at its best. Cleaning and sealing are the most important aspects of general preservation, but it’s vital to know the specifics of your material and its conservation needs. Whether your concrete is stamped, colored, polished, or standard, it needs maintenance to last its lifespan.
