Before Pictures:
Another great transformation in Pflugerville, Texas! Today, we're walking you through one of our most common residential cleaning requests: a full exterior refresh, including house washing, driveway cleaning, and backyard concrete cleaning.
Before: What We Were Working With
This homeowner wanted to bring some life back to the exterior of her property. The front of the home was primarily stone, with noticeable mold, mildew, and algae buildup. The driveway, front walkway, and sidewalks had accumulated years of everyday dirt, grime, and organic growth, while the covered front porch had its share of cobwebs and buildup.
Out back, the concrete patio and surrounding pads had similar issues, along with some natural discoloration from aging concrete. Our goal was to remove the dirt and organic buildup, brighten the surfaces, and restore as much of their original appearance as possible.
The biggest challenge was a beautiful backyard gazebo area that had accumulated some serious mold, mildew, algae, and grime. This section needed a little extra attention!
Our Cleaning Process
Before getting started, we documented the property with photos and took precautions to protect the surrounding areas. We thoroughly saturated nearby grass, plants, and landscaping with water to help minimize the risk of chemical damage. We also covered exposed electrical outlets, doorbells, and other sensitive electronics.
House Washing: We started with the home's exterior, using our soft washing process to safely treat the stone surfaces. A professional cleaning solution with approximately 3.5% sodium hypochlorite and a surfactant helped break down organic growth, dirt, and grime. After allowing the solution time to work, we thoroughly rinsed the surfaces, washing away the buildup without relying on excessive pressure.
Driveway, Walkways & Sidewalks: Next, we moved to the concrete. We pre-treated the driveway, front walkway, and sidewalks with approximately 4% sodium hypochlorite, allowed it to dwell for about five minutes, and followed up with our commercial surface cleaner for a consistent, thorough cleaning.
Backyard Patio & Gazebo: Finally, we tackled the backyard. The concrete pads and patio received a similar cleaning process, but the gazebo required extra attention. With multiple treatment rounds, adjusted cleaning strength, and carefully controlled pressure and temperature where appropriate, we were able to remove substantial buildup from the gazebo's stone surfaces.
The Results
The transformation was fantastic! The front stonework looked noticeably brighter, the driveway and walkways were refreshed, and the backyard patio and gazebo cleaned up beautifully.
While some permanent discoloration in older concrete may remain, removing years of dirt, grime, and organic growth made a tremendous difference across the property.
We're thrilled with how this Pflugerville project turned out, and we appreciate another homeowner trusting TBS Power Washing with their property!
