Rust Removal
Orange staining on concrete, doors, or siding lifted with treatments matched to the surface — pressure alone won’t do it.
Rust removalHigh pressure, where the surface can take it
Concrete & driveway cleaning & sealing
Oil stains, gum, and years of embedded dirt pressure-washed out of driveways, sidewalks, and patios — then sealed, if you want the clean to last.
What we clean
Your concrete used to be this color
Drag the handle on the sidewalk — that gray-black layer isn’t the concrete, it’s what’s sitting on it.
- Driveways, sidewalks, and patios
- Oil stains and grease spots
- Gum and embedded dirt
- Optional concrete sealing after cleaning
Concrete is where high pressure earns its keep — the same jet that would damage siding restores a slab. For rust staining on concrete, see our dedicated rust removal service; for the house above the driveway, soft washing is the right tool.

How we do it
Clean first, seal while it’s clean
-
Assess and quote
We look at the surface, flag the stains that need extra attention, and quote the job free within 24 hours.
-
Pressure wash
High-pressure cleaning lifts oil, gum, and embedded dirt out of the slab and takes the surface back to an even color.
-
Seal (optional)
Once the concrete is clean and dry, sealing protects it against new stains and weathering — so the next wash is a light one.
Power washing vs. soft washing: concrete gets the high pressure. Siding, stucco, and shingles get low-pressure soft washing instead — using the wrong one on either surface is how damage happens.
Honest pricing
What affects the price
- Square footage — a two-car driveway and a full driveway-plus-sidewalk-plus-patio are different jobs.
- Stain severity — oil and gum that have had years to set take more passes than surface dirt.
- Sealing — an optional add-on, priced by area, that protects the clean surface.
- Access — slopes, tight spots, and parked-over areas add handling time.

Common questions
Concrete cleaning questions
Can you get oil stains out of a driveway?
Yes — oil stains, gum, and embedded dirt are exactly what this service is for. We pressure wash them out of the surface; the oldest, deepest-set stains can occasionally leave a faint shadow, and we’ll tell you up front if we expect one.
What is concrete sealing, and is it worth it?
Sealing is an optional finish applied after cleaning that protects the concrete surface against stains and weathering. It costs the most to clean concrete that has gone years unprotected, so sealing after a wash is how you keep the after photo looking that way.
Will high pressure damage my concrete?
No — concrete is the surface high pressure is made for. We match the method to the material: high pressure on driveways, sidewalks, and patios, and low-pressure soft washing on delicate surfaces like siding and stucco.
Do you clean sidewalks and patios too?
Yes — driveways, sidewalks, and concrete patios. The sidewalk comparison on this page is a real job of ours in St. Charles, MO, and there’s more on our work page.
What about rust stains on concrete?
Rust needs more than pressure — it takes a treatment matched to the surface. Our dedicated rust removal service handles rust staining on concrete, doors, and siding.
