The flatwork in Ashbury tells you what the lot deals with. road grit tracked onto the driveway and apron rather than organic staining.
Driveways at a busy corner collect what the arterials throw — road grit, tyre wear and the dark film that comes with them — concentrated on the apron where you pull in off the street. Patio-home driveways here are short and sunny, so they stay reasonable; the acre lots have considerably more surface. Flatwork takes pressure at $0.20 per square foot, and siding never does.
Fresh flatwork on a new house typically carries mortar splatter, paint overspray and stucco drips from the build, plus efflorescence — the white mineral bloom that migrates out of curing concrete and looks like a stain but is not. Those need different treatment: residue washes off, efflorescence has to be handled for what it is rather than blasted at. And new concrete should not be pressure washed too aggressively while it is still curing, which is something a contractor chasing a quick clean will not tell you.
Pressure washing runs $0.20 per square foot on driveways, patios and walkways. On a new slab the goal is removing build residue without etching a surface that is still young — which means the right pressure and the right distance rather than the maximum the machine will produce. If your concrete was poured recently we will tell you whether to wait, because a wand mark or a surface etch in new flatwork is permanent and considerably more visible than the residue you were trying to remove.
Pressure washing is $0.20 per square foot on driveways, patios, walkways and pool surrounds. Siding is never pressure washed — that is house washing at $0.18 per square foot on a soft-wash setting, because a wand on stucco or hardboard drives water behind the finish. If somebody quotes you a pressure wash for your siding, that is a repair bill you are being sold. The spread here is wide for one subdivision, so a patio home and an acre custom price very differently.

Sometimes not on its own, and we will say so. On a small sunny driveway the honest advice is often to bundle it with a house wash rather than paying a trip charge for a surface that is not badly soiled.
No, and you should be wary of anyone who says yes. Siding gets soft-washed at $0.18 per square foot because a pressure wand drives water behind the finish, swelling hardboard and forcing moisture into stucco. Pressure is for concrete and paver flatwork, where the surface can take it.
Not at the pressure we work at. Aggressive washing does excavate joint sand, which is a real risk with a rented machine on a high setting. We clean the surface without stripping the joints, and if yours already need re-sanding we will tell you rather than leaving you to find out.
Those are separate from general surface cleaning and they are treated rather than blasted — oil needs a degreaser with dwell time, and rust and irrigation staining need the right product for the mineral involved. We will tell you honestly what will come out fully, what will lighten, and what is in the concrete for good.
Yes — Eagle is one of our nine Treasure Valley cities and we run it as a regular route rather than a stretch call, from the Chinden edge up into the foothills. Call or text (208) 453-6760 and we will tell you the next open slot.
