You’ll walk outside and actually want to spend time on your patio again. No more avoiding that back door because you’re embarrassed by the black streaks, moss patches, and dingy concrete that’s been staring at you for months.
Your pavers will look like they did when they were first installed. The colors come back. The texture feels right again. And your neighbors will start asking what you did differently.
Most importantly, you’ll stop worrying about whether you’re damaging your biggest investment every time you think about cleaning it yourself.
We’ve been helping Port Washington homeowners protect and restore their outdoor spaces since we started. We’re not the biggest company around, and we’re definitely not the cheapest.
What we are is licensed, insured, and completely focused on doing the job right the first time. When Niko started CPR Power Washing, he built it around one simple idea: treat every property like it’s your own.
Port Washington’s humid climate is tough on outdoor surfaces. Between the salt air, seasonal weather changes, and natural biological growth, your patio takes a beating year-round. We understand these local challenges because we live here too.
First, we assess your specific paver or concrete type. Different materials need different approaches, and we adjust our pressure, cleaning solutions, and techniques accordingly.
We start with a thorough debris removal and pre-treatment of any stains. Oil spots, rust marks, and organic growth each get targeted treatment before we even turn on the pressure washer.
The actual cleaning uses controlled pressure levels – typically between 1,000-1,500 PSI for pavers – combined with the right nozzle angles to clean effectively without stripping away protective surface layers. We work systematically to ensure consistent results across your entire patio.
After cleaning, we restore any joint sand that may have been displaced and can apply sealant if you choose that option. The whole process usually takes a few hours, depending on size and condition.

Your patio cleaning includes everything needed to bring your outdoor space back to life. We remove years of built-up dirt, algae, mold, and mildew that regular hosing can’t touch.
Stain removal covers oil spots from grills, rust marks from patio furniture, and organic stains from leaves and debris. We use specialized cleaning solutions designed for outdoor surfaces that won’t harm your landscaping.
In Port Washington, we see a lot of joint sand erosion from winter weather and improper DIY cleaning attempts. We restore this sand properly, using polymeric sand when appropriate to prevent weeds and insect infiltration.
For pavers showing their age, we can discuss sealing options that protect against future staining and help maintain that fresh-cleaned appearance longer. Everything we do focuses on extending the life of your investment while making it look great again.
Most Port Washington patios benefit from professional cleaning every 12-18 months, though this depends on several factors specific to our area.
If your patio gets a lot of shade or sits under trees, you’ll likely need cleaning annually because moisture and organic debris create ideal conditions for mold and algae growth. Full-sun patios in open areas can often go longer between cleanings.
Port Washington’s humid climate and proximity to the water means biological growth happens faster here than in drier areas. Regular professional cleaning actually saves money long-term by preventing deep staining and surface damage that becomes much more expensive to address later.
Yes, improper pressure washing absolutely can damage pavers and concrete – and we see the results of DIY disasters regularly in Port Washington.
The biggest mistake is using too much pressure or the wrong nozzle angle. Pavers have protective surface fines that give them their smooth finish and color. Blast these away with excessive pressure, and you’re left with rough, faded surfaces that can’t be restored.
We use controlled pressure levels (typically 1,000-1,500 PSI for pavers) and proper techniques that clean effectively while preserving the integrity of your surfaces. Our equipment and experience let us adjust for different materials – what works for concrete might damage natural stone or decorative pavers.
We handle most common patio stains that Port Washington homeowners deal with, including oil and grease from grills, rust stains from patio furniture, and organic stains from leaves, berries, and tree sap.
Mold, mildew, and algae growth – which is particularly common here due to our humid climate – respond well to our cleaning process. We use specialized cleaning solutions that break down these biological growths without harming your landscaping.
Some stains, particularly very old oil stains or certain types of paint, may be permanent or require multiple treatments. We’ll be honest about what’s realistic during our initial assessment. Most stains that have been there less than a year come out completely with proper treatment.
Yes, we clean patio furniture as part of our comprehensive outdoor cleaning services. This includes plastic, metal, and wooden furniture, as well as outdoor cushions and umbrellas.
Outdoor furniture cleaning uses different techniques than hard surfaces. We adjust pressure levels and cleaning solutions based on the material – what works for aluminum furniture would damage wicker or fabric cushions.
For cushions and fabric items, we can also provide our residential shrink wrapping service to protect them during the off-season. Many Port Washington clients bundle furniture cleaning with patio cleaning for a complete outdoor refresh before entertaining season or after winter storage.
Patio cleaning costs vary based on size, condition, and material type, but most Port Washington homeowners invest between $200-500 for professional cleaning of a typical residential patio.
Factors that affect pricing include the current condition of your patio, type of stains present, accessibility, and whether additional services like joint sand restoration or sealing are needed. Heavily stained or neglected patios require more time and specialized treatment.
We provide honest, upfront estimates with no surprises. Many clients find the investment worthwhile when they see how much better their outdoor space looks and how much longer the results last compared to DIY attempts. We also offer military and first responder discounts.
Spring and early fall are ideal times for patio cleaning in Port Washington, though we work year-round when weather permits.
Spring cleaning (April-May) prepares your outdoor space for entertaining season and addresses winter damage from salt, ice, and debris. This timing also allows any minor repairs or sealing to cure properly before heavy summer use.
Early fall cleaning (September-October) removes summer buildup and prepares surfaces for winter. If you’re planning to seal your pavers, fall application often lasts longer because there’s less immediate exposure to heavy traffic and UV rays. We can work around your schedule and recommend the best timing based on your specific situation and goals.
