Concrete in Sunset takes the full load of heavy old-neighborhood tree cover and street dust off State Street, and it shows first on the driveway. Sunset sits in north Boise along State Street, in the numbered-street grid above the river, where the homes are mostly 1940s and 50s cottages and small bungalows on narrow lots. Here is how we approach pressure washing on this side of Boise, what it costs, and when to book it.
Driveways, sidewalks, patios, walkways, pool decks and shop slabs. In Sunset the usual culprits are heavy old-neighborhood tree cover and street dust off State Street — plus tire marks, oil drips and the grey-green film that grows on the shaded north side of any slab. Flatwork is priced at $0.20 per square foot, so you know what a job costs before we arrive.
High pressure belongs on concrete and masonry, and nowhere near siding, soffits, window seals or old mortar. Used wrongly it drives water behind siding and past window flashing, and it will permanently scar wood and etch soft brick. We match the method to the surface: pressure for flatwork, low-pressure soft washing for anything that can absorb water. If someone offers to pressure wash your whole house, that is the wrong tool.
Not everything comes up with water. Petroleum stains, battery acid, irrigation rust bleed and organic tannin from leaf litter each need the right pre-treatment and dwell time before pressure does anything useful. Rust from hard water irrigation is especially common in the valley and needs a dedicated treatment. We will tell you honestly which stains will come out fully, which will lighten, and which are now part of the concrete.
We clean concrete, we do not seal it — but cleaning is what a seal coat needs first, so if sealing is on your list, do it in that order. Freeze-thaw cycling is hard on valley concrete, and a clean, sealed slab handles it better. Given the 1940s and 50s cottages and small bungalows on narrow lots in Sunset, a lot of the flatwork here is old enough that cleaning reveals cracks worth watching.
Measure roughly — length by width of the areas you want done — and we can give you a close figure over the phone at $0.20/sq ft. House washing is separate at $0.18/sq ft soft-wash. Many Sunset customers run both plus a window clean as one visit. Call or text (208) 453-6760.
