ELEVATION EXTERIOR CLEANING Call 616-229-0625

Driveway and concrete cleaning in Grand Rapids.The concrete goes back to gray.

It's porous, so oil, rust and algae go into it and stay. Concrete is one of the few surfaces where higher pressure is right, and we run a rotary surface cleaner instead of an open wand. That's what gives an even finish.

Sound familiar

People call about concrete for three reasons.

01

The slab is darker than you remember.

It went gray so slowly you stopped noticing, then you saw a neighbor's fresh one and the whole drive looked ten years older.

02

The shaded end is green and slippery.

It's near the lawn edge or under a downspout, it's algae, and somebody in the house has already slipped on it once.

03

You cleaned it yourself and it came out striped.

The wand left zebra stripes across the slab and now it looks worse than the dirt did. That's from waving it by hand.

What you're actually getting.

A flat number

Not an estimate that creeps. You get the price up front and it's the price when we're done.

Streak-free or we're back

If it streaks we re-clean it free within 7 days. You don't chase us and you don't pay twice.

Soft wash, not blasting

Low pressure and the right cleaner. Plant-safe, and no high pressure on shingles. That's the thing that wrecks a roof.

Owner-operated

The same crew every time, insured, working out of Wyoming, MI. No subcontractors showing up under our name.

Start to finish

What happens when you call.

  1. You call us Tell us how big the drive is and what's on it. Oil and rust take longer than plain dirt. Flat number on that call.
  2. Oil and rust first Those don't come off with water and pressure. Oil gets a degreaser to break the bond, rust gets a rust treatment, before anything else runs.
  3. Then the surface cleaner A spinning bar of jets under a housing, laying an even pressure field across the slab. That's a uniform finish instead of stripes.

“Tre did a great job on my home. He communicated well and was kind and easy to work with. I highly recommend this service to everyone in need of power washing services.”

Lynn M.

“While living in the woods has its charms, a moss covered roof and moldy siding isn't one of them! Amazing job on the roof and siding. Highly recommend! 10 out of 10!”

Melissa P.

“The team did an outstanding job! They were professional, they were quick, and they delivered exactly what they promised.”

Concrete part-way through a clean, the finished half pale and the untouched half still dark with algae
One slab, halfway. Nothing on the dark side came off with a hose.

Proof

One slab, cleaned halfway.

The pass line is the only difference between the two sides. Same concrete, same afternoon. Nothing on the dirty half came off with a hose.

What it costs

We can't print a price. Here's what sets yours.

A number printed on a website and the number our crew gives you standing in your driveway have to be the same number, and on this work they often can't be. So here's what actually moves it.

COMING OUT
Nothing. There's no estimate visit to schedule and nothing owed to ask.
THE SIZE
Square footage and the run of siding. It's the biggest single factor on a house wash.
ONE STORY OR TWO
Height changes the equipment, the time and the safety setup. A two-story isn't a ranch scaled up.
HOW DIRTY IT IS
A light green film rinses. Years of black streaking, heavy moss, rust or oil takes more product and more time.
HOW MUCH AT ONCE
One trip over four surfaces costs less than four visits. The drive out and the setup only happen once.

Before you call

The four things people ask on the phone.

Why did my driveway come out striped when I did it myself?

Those stripes come from waving a high-pressure wand by hand. A rotary surface cleaner lays an even pressure field across the whole slab, which is what gives a uniform finish with no striping.

Can you get oil and rust out of concrete?

Usually. They need their own treatment, not more pressure. Oil takes a degreaser to break the bond and rust takes a rust remover. Call and describe the stains and we'll tell you what's realistic.

How long does it stay clean?

One to three years with normal use. A drive under tree canopy or right up against the lawn comes back faster, because of all the organic debris landing on it.

Do you seal it afterward?

No. Sealing does extend the result and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it on your slab, but it isn't part of the cleaning.

The detail, if you want it

What builds up on concrete

Concrete is porous, so it collects more than it looks like it does:

  • Algae and moss in shaded sections — slippery, and worse near lawn edges and downspouts.
  • Oil and fluid drips where vehicles park.
  • Rust stains from metal furniture, downspout brackets, or iron in sprinkler water and fertilizer.
  • Tire marks and general traffic grime.
  • The slow gray-to-grime fade that makes a driveway look a decade older than it is.

Surface cleaner vs. an open wand

Professional concrete cleaning uses a rotary surface cleaner — a spinning bar of jets under a housing that lays down an even pressure field across the slab. That's what produces a uniform, stripe-free finish. An open wand waved by hand leaves the zebra-stripe pattern that often looks worse than the dirt did.

That even finish is the difference between a clean driveway and a striped one, and it's the main reason a professional result beats a rented machine.

Rust and oil need their own treatment

Rust and oil don't come off with water and pressure alone. Rust staining (often from sprinkler overspray or metal contact) calls for a dedicated rust treatment; oil needs a degreaser pre-treatment to break the bond before rinsing. We treat these separately rather than just blasting harder. Heavy, set-in rust and oxidation has its own page — see rust & oxidation removal.

How long it stays clean

Cleaned concrete generally stays looking good for one to three years with normal use. Driveways under tree canopy or right against the lawn come back faster from organic debris. Sealing extends the result significantly — we can advise, though sealing isn't part of the standard cleaning.

It won't come clean on its own.
