Power Washing in Astoria, Queens

Astoria has very few big driveways, but it has a lot of hard surfaces that get dirty fast. Brick and concrete stoops, front walks, small paved backyards, and the sidewalk in front of every shop on Steinway Street, 30th Avenue and Ditmars Boulevard.

Our customers here are mostly owners of two-family houses, small building owners and shop owners. Each surface needs its own pressure, because old brick and mortar can be damaged by a machine set too high.

Many two-family houses here have a side alley and a small back patio that only gets cleaned once a year, if that. A single wash can make the whole property look cared for again.

We start with a test area every time before we wash the whole surface.

For homes, the most common jobs are the front stoop and steps, the walkway to the door, the paved backyard, and the alley along the side of the house. These collect moss, gum, leaves and the black grime that comes with city traffic.

For brick and old mortar we use lower pressure and a wider spray, so the joints are not washed out. Concrete can take more pressure, and pavers need care so the sand between them stays put.

For businesses, we wash sidewalks, entrances and awning fronts outside of opening hours, early in the morning or after closing, so customers are not walking through the work area.

We control runoff and overspray, protect plants and windows, and leave the area clean when we finish. We also wash siding, decks and fences where a house has them.

Building owners often ask us to wash the trash area and the path to the cans as well. These spots get sticky and smell in summer, and a wash helps with both.

Spring is the busiest time, after a winter of salt and sand on the steps. Call early in the season if you want a specific day.

In winter, salt and sand pile up on stoops and front walks. By spring, there is a white crust on the concrete and stains on the brick. A spring wash clears it away and shows if any steps need repair.

Some Astoria houses have a short shared driveway between two homes. We can wash it for both neighbors in one visit, and many people split the job.

If your car is parked out front, we can detail it the same day; see auto detailing in Astoria.
