Common Situations We Handle
“My driveway looks like it hasn't been cleaned in ten years — there's a green film on the concrete”
Green film on concrete is almost always algae or mildew buildup from moisture. Pressure washing removes it completely — a single pass brings the surface back to a color you may not remember it being.
“We're listing our house and the exterior photos are going to show a dirty front walk”
Listing photos are often the first impression buyers have. Saifullah Ghazi cleans the front walk, driveway, and entry — a job that takes a few hours and makes the exterior look sharp in photos.
“My back patio has mildew stains and moss growing in the joints between the pavers”
Moss and mildew in paver joints come back unless the surface is cleaned thoroughly and the joints are treated. Saifullah Ghazi clears the growth and can apply a mildew inhibitor to slow regrowth.
“The siding on the back of my house is visibly darker from mildew — it's embarrassing”
Mildew on vinyl or fiber cement siding is common on north-facing or shaded walls. Pressure washing removes the discoloration safely without damaging the siding — at the right pressure for the material.
Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can you pressure wash?
Concrete driveways, brick patios and walkways, vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, and wood decks. Saifullah adjusts pressure settings for each surface type — wood and siding use lower pressure than concrete.
Is pressure washing safe for older brick or painted surfaces?
Older brick and painted surfaces need lower pressure to avoid damage. Saifullah assesses the surface condition before starting and uses the appropriate setting — high pressure on fragile brick can cause spalling.
How long does a driveway take to wash?
A standard Alexandria driveway takes 1–2 hours depending on length and level of buildup. Patios and walkways add time — most jobs are done in a half-day visit.
Do I need to be home for pressure washing?
For exterior-only jobs (driveway, walkways, siding), you don't need to be home — just make sure water access is available. For patio or deck jobs that require moving furniture, being home for the start helps.
How soon can we use the driveway or patio after washing?
Concrete and pavers are safe to walk on immediately after washing. For decks and wood surfaces, allow them to dry fully before applying any sealant or stain — usually 24–48 hours.
