Living in a Home Owner’s Association has it’s good and bad sides. It’s great that they help us all be responsible for keeping the neighborhood looking good, but homeowners don’t always have the time or know-how to deal with repairs and property maintenance that an HOA can require. It’s never a good idea to ignore the HOA rules or wait for fines. Instead, be proactive.
Facts About Driveway Cleaning
Take a good look at your driveway, and judge for yourself how it looks. Could it be cleaner? Is it dingy, especially compared to the adjacent property driveways? Here are a few things to think about when planning to deal with the condition of your driveway:
- Stains – Are you worried about stains left by parked vehicles since last fall? Simply blasting water through a pressured wand doesn’t always address stains, especially unsightly grease and engine fluids. Carolina Power Washing has a 4-step process, which includes a general cleaning, followed by special techniques to address specific types of stains.
- Concrete damage – You may not have the time or money to fix minor concrete damage in time to avoid fines. A dirty buildup in cracks and crevices can be extremely unsightly. Sometimes, a simple good washing will make minor damage to concrete less noticeable or objectionable, giving you breathing room to address it when you can. Soft washing can also keep from damaging a new driveway or doing further damage to cracked or chipped concrete.
- Blacktop – Blacktopped driveways have completely different maintenance needs than cement slabs. Often, a blacktopped driveway can be refreshed and renewed simply with gentle but thorough washing, giving you more time between resurfacings. Blasting water can easily damage fragile blacktop strata, so our soft washing techniques are much safer.
- Equipment – Our professional equipment goes much further than a water blasting wand. In fact, as part of our soft washing techniques, we have state of the art surface washers and other equipment which, when used by our trained and experienced technicians, can safely rejuvenate your driveway.
- Cleaning Agents – When paired with the appropriate cleaning agents, our soft washing techniques are not only safer for your driveway, but the grass and other environmental areas around it. Our technicians have years of experience in caring for your property.
Your driveway is one of the first and most noticeable parts of your property. Making sure your driveway looks fresh is a great first step to giving your HOA and home curb appeal. Give Carolina Power Washing a call to make sure you’re ready for summer.
