Power Washing, Staining, and Refinishing Concrete Patios

Your concrete patio has weathered countless seasons, barbecues, family gatherings, and quiet morning coffees. Over time, what was once a pristine outdoor living space has likely accumulated stains, discoloration, algae growth, and surface wear.

Many homeowners look at their aging concrete patios and assume the only solutions are to live with the deterioration or undertake the expensive, disruptive replacement process.

What if there were a better way? Professional concrete patio restoration offers a third option that transforms your existing concrete into a beautiful, durable surface that may surpass its original condition. By combining power washing, color staining, and refinishing techniques, your weather-worn patio can undergo a remarkable transformation.

Environmental Exposure

Concrete is constantly exposed to the elements. Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight breaks down surface compounds, while freeze-thaw cycles cause microscopic expansions and contractions, leading to surface damage. Acid rain, pollutants, and mineral-laden water can etch the surface, causing discoloration.

Organic Growth

Shaded areas of concrete patios often develop algae, moss, or lichen growth. These organisms create unsightly green or black stains and trap moisture against the concrete, accelerating deterioration.

Oil and Grease Stains

Oil and grease stains, from dripping grills to leaking lawn equipment, are standard on concrete patios. They penetrate the porous surface of the concrete and create stubborn, dark spots that regular cleaning cannot remove.
