Driveway and concrete cleaning in Durham

Driveway and concrete cleaning in Durham: what to know

For a typical two-car driveway of about 800 sq ft, published prices in Durham and the Triangle run from about $99 to $270. A standalone driveway from one Raleigh company is $249, but the same company prices a driveway at $50 to $100 when added to a house wash, so bundling is often cheaper. Piedmont red clay is the stain most Durham driveways have. It soaks into concrete and doesn't respond to the degreaser used for oil spots. Providers usually treat it with an oxalic-acid-based cleaner and go over the area a second time, and that's normally a separate line on the quote. Because only rain is allowed into Durham's storm drains, cleaners used on concrete shouldn't be washed down the gutter. A careful crew rinses toward the lawn where it can, and for commercial lots uses drain covers or recovers the water.
