Your patio takes a beating from Long Island’s harsh winters. Salt residue, freeze-thaw cycles, and months of debris don’t just disappear when spring arrives.
That’s where we come in. Our patio cleaning process removes the algae that makes surfaces slippery, the stains that make your outdoor space look neglected, and the buildup that’s slowly damaging your investment.
You get a patio that’s not just clean—it’s safe, inviting, and ready for whatever you have planned. No more avoiding that back corner where the algae grows. No more apologizing to guests about the condition of your outdoor space.
We’re CPR Power Washing, and we’ve been helping Glen Head homeowners reclaim their outdoor spaces for three years. We’re licensed, insured, and based right here on the North Shore.
What sets us apart isn’t just our equipment or experience—it’s that when you call us, you’re getting a team that actually cares about the result. If something’s not right, we make it right. No runaround, no excuses.
Glen Head’s salty air and harsh winters are tough on outdoor surfaces. We understand what works here and what doesn’t, which means your patio gets cleaned properly the first time.
First, we evaluate your patio’s material, stains, and drainage situation. Every surface is different, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to problems.
Next comes targeted pre-treatment. We apply detergents that break down contaminants, which means we can use less pressure and get better results. This matters more than you might think—too much pressure damages surfaces, too little leaves stains behind.
Then we clean using the right method for your specific patio material. Pavers get different treatment than concrete. Stone requires a different approach than brick. We adjust our technique because your patio deserves better than a one-size-fits-all cleaning.
Finally, we walk through the finished work with you. You inspect everything, and we don’t consider the job done until you’re satisfied with the result.
Ready to get started?
Your patio cleaning covers the entire surface, including those problem areas where algae and mold love to grow. We remove oil stains, salt residue, and the organic buildup that makes surfaces slippery and unsightly.
For paver patios, we also address the joints. Sand loss and weed growth aren’t just cosmetic issues—they affect drainage and stability. We’ll let you know if joint sand needs replacement or if there are drainage concerns you should address.
Glen Head’s coastal location means your patio faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates staining, and our humid summers promote algae growth. Our cleaning process is designed specifically for these conditions, not generic problems that might exist anywhere else.
Most Glen Head patios benefit from professional cleaning once a year, typically in spring after winter damage becomes apparent. However, patios in shaded areas or those exposed to heavy tree coverage might need attention twice yearly.
Our coastal location accelerates algae and mold growth, especially during humid summer months. If you notice surfaces becoming slippery or developing that greenish tint, don’t wait for your annual cleaning—address it immediately for safety reasons.
The timing matters too. Spring cleaning removes winter salt damage and prepares your patio for heavy use season. Fall cleaning can prevent organic buildup from causing problems during freeze-thaw cycles.
Not when it’s done correctly with the right equipment and technique. The key is using appropriate pressure levels and understanding how different paver materials respond to cleaning.
We adjust pressure based on your specific paver type—natural stone requires different treatment than concrete pavers or brick. Too much pressure can damage surfaces or blast out joint sand. Too little pressure leaves stains and algae behind.
Our pre-treatment process is crucial here. By breaking down contaminants with detergents first, we can use lower pressure levels while achieving better cleaning results. This protects your pavers while delivering the clean surface you want.
Most oil stains can be significantly improved or completely removed, depending on how long they’ve been there and what type of oil caused the stain. Fresh stains respond much better than ones that have been sitting for months.
We use specialized degreasers designed for concrete surfaces, combined with appropriate pressure and temperature. The process might require multiple treatments for stubborn stains, but we’ll be upfront about what’s realistic for your specific situation.
Prevention helps too. Sealing your concrete patio after cleaning creates a barrier that makes future stains easier to remove and prevents oil from penetrating as deeply into the surface.
Power washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, stains, and buildup from hard surfaces like concrete and stone. It’s effective for tough stains and heavily soiled areas, but requires skill to avoid surface damage.
Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to break down contaminants. It’s gentler on surfaces and often more effective at killing organic growth like algae and mold at the root level.
For most patio cleaning in Glen Head, we use a combination approach. Pre-treatment with cleaning solutions followed by appropriate pressure levels based on your surface material. This delivers thorough cleaning while protecting your investment.
Remove all furniture, planters, and decorative items from the patio surface. This includes anything stored against walls or in corners—we need complete access to clean effectively.
Clear any loose debris like leaves, branches, or toys. While we’ll handle final debris removal, clearing obvious items beforehand helps us focus on actual cleaning rather than basic cleanup.
Make sure we have access to water and electricity if needed. Let us know about any drainage concerns, previous repairs, or areas where you’ve noticed persistent stains. This information helps us plan the most effective cleaning approach for your specific patio.
We focus specifically on hard surfaces—patios, walkways, driveways, and similar areas. However, we can often clean certain types of outdoor furniture as an add-on service, depending on the material and condition.
For fabric cushions and delicate furniture materials, we typically recommend specialized cleaning services. These items require different techniques and cleaning solutions than hard surfaces, and we want to ensure they’re handled properly.
If you have questions about specific furniture pieces, we’re happy to take a look during our initial evaluation. We’ll be honest about what we can clean effectively and what might be better handled by others.
