Your driveway takes a beating every single day. Oil drips from cars, tire marks from turning, dirt tracked in from Jericho Turnpike, and weather damage that regular hosing can’t touch. You’ve probably tried scrubbing sections yourself and quickly realized how much work it really is.
When we’re finished, the difference hits you immediately. That stained, grimy surface that made you cringe every time you pulled up? It looks fresh again. Oil stains you thought were permanent are gone. The concrete or asphalt is so clean you’d actually walk on it barefoot.
Your neighbors notice. More importantly, you feel good about your home’s appearance again instead of making excuses about your driveway to visitors.
We’ve been serving Jericho homeowners for three years. We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with professional-grade pressure washing equipment that actually handles the toughest Long Island stains.
Here’s what sets us apart: accountability. When Niko and his crew show up, we’re not rushing to squeeze in one more job before dark. We’re focused on getting your driveway completely clean, and if something isn’t right, we make it right.
We know Jericho properties inside and out. The salt damage from winter road treatments, oil stains from commuter traffic on Route 106, algae growth from Long Island’s humid summers—we’ve cleaned it all and know exactly how to handle each challenge safely and effectively.
First, we assess your driveway’s material and current condition. Concrete needs different treatment than asphalt or pavers. We protect your landscaping and nearby surfaces before any water hits the ground.
Next comes the actual cleaning magic. We use professional surface cleaners that provide even coverage without leaving those ugly wand marks you see from amateur jobs. Hot water and the right pressure levels break down oil stains, lift embedded dirt, and eliminate organic growth like algae and mold.
Finally, we do a complete walkthrough to make sure every section meets our standards. No missed spots, no streaky areas, no shortcuts. You’ll see a clean, uniform surface that looks like it was just installed. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on your driveway’s size and how much buildup we’re dealing with.
Ready to get started?
Every driveway cleaning includes a complete assessment, surface preparation, professional pressure washing with appropriate detergents, and a final quality check. We handle concrete, asphalt, stamped concrete, and paver driveways—each one gets the specific treatment it needs.
In Jericho, we deal with specific challenges you won’t find everywhere. Road salt residue from winter maintenance on busy streets like Jericho Turnpike and Broadway. The high-traffic nature of these roads means more automotive debris, more oil drips, more tire rubber ending up on your driveway.
We also tackle Long Island’s unique weather challenges. The humidity here creates perfect conditions for algae and mold growth, especially on north-facing driveways that don’t get direct sunlight. Our cleaning process eliminates these organic growths completely and helps prevent them from coming back quickly.
Most residential driveways in Jericho take 2-4 hours to clean properly, depending on size and how much buildup we’re dealing with. A typical two-car driveway runs about 3 hours from start to finish.
That timeline includes setup, protecting your landscaping, the actual pressure washing, and our final walkthrough. We don’t rush because cutting corners means stains come back faster and you don’t get the results you’re paying for.
Weather affects timing slightly. On very hot days, we work in sections so cleaning solutions don’t dry too quickly. During cooler months, we adjust our approach to ensure the best results despite temperature differences.
Professional driveway cleaning won’t damage your surface or landscaping when done correctly. We use appropriate pressure levels for your specific material—concrete can handle higher pressure than stamped concrete or older asphalt that might be more fragile.
Before we start, we always protect your landscaping by pre-watering plants and covering delicate areas. Our biodegradable cleaning solutions won’t harm grass or shrubs, and we rinse everything thoroughly afterward.
The key is using the right equipment and technique. Surface cleaners provide even pressure distribution, preventing the streaking or gouging that happens with improper wand work. That’s exactly why professional cleaning is worth the investment over trying to DIY this job.
Most Jericho homeowners get their driveways cleaned annually, though high-traffic driveways or those with significant shade might need attention twice yearly. The timing really depends on your specific conditions and how much use your driveway gets.
Spring is popular because it addresses winter salt damage and gets everything ready for outdoor entertaining season. Fall cleaning removes summer algae growth and prepares the surface for whatever winter throws at it.
If you start noticing oil stains, tire marks, or discoloration developing, don’t wait for your regular schedule. Fresh stains are infinitely easier to remove than ones that have had months to set deep into the porous concrete or asphalt surface.
Most oil stains can be significantly improved or completely removed, even old ones that look hopeless. Success depends on the stain’s age, what type of oil it is, and your driveway material. Fresh stains are always easier, but we’ve had excellent results with stains homeowners were convinced were permanent.
We use specialized degreasers and hot water pressure washing techniques that penetrate deep into concrete pores. For really stubborn stains, we might need multiple treatments or different approaches, but we’ll tell you what’s realistic before we start.
The key is not giving up too early. Many homeowners try basic degreasers from Home Depot, don’t see immediate results, and assume the stain is there forever. Professional-grade equipment and products often succeed where consumer products fail completely.
Driveway cleaning typically uses pressure washing because concrete and asphalt can handle the higher pressure levels needed to remove embedded dirt and tough stains. Soft washing is mainly for delicate surfaces like roofing or painted siding that could be damaged by high pressure.
However, we do adjust our approach based on your specific driveway. Older concrete or decorative stamped surfaces might need gentler treatment than brand-new standard concrete. Pavers require completely different techniques than solid surfaces to avoid displacing sand between joints.
The goal is always maximum cleaning with zero damage. That means using enough pressure to remove stains and buildup, but not so much that we’re etching the surface or causing other problems. Professional equipment gives us that precise control you can’t get with rental machines.
We stand behind our work completely. If you’re not satisfied with the results, we’ll return to address any issues at no additional cost. That’s been our approach for three years serving Long Island homeowners, and it’s why our customers keep recommending us.
Our guarantee covers the quality of cleaning—stains we said we could remove, even coverage across the entire surface, and professional workmanship throughout the process. We’ll also give you realistic expectations upfront about what’s achievable with your specific driveway condition.
Most issues, if they happen at all, are minor and easily corrected. Sometimes it’s a missed spot that needs additional attention, or a stubborn stain that requires a different approach. We’d rather take the extra time to get it right than leave a customer disappointed with the results.
