Executive Summary: Patio Cleaning Houston
Patio cleaning in Houston removes algae, dirt and stains from concrete patios, pavers and pool decks with pressure matched to each surface.
The work is prep-only: pre-treatment, cleaning and rinse. Most patios take an estimated 2 to 6 hours with 1 to 3 technicians. Typical Houston-area pricing is $60 to $100 for 200 sq ft, up to $320 to $500 for 1,000 sq ft (estimates).
Rain can delay the visit, and painted walls or siding around the patio get soft washing, not high pressure. Washing is not mold remediation.

Stop Letting Fading & Damage Hurt Your Property Value
Slick algae around the pool
Algae on pool decks gets slippery when wet. A cleaning solution and low pressure remove it without damaging cool decking.
Chemicals near the water
Runoff into a pool upsets the water chemistry. We rinse toward drains and away from the pool.
Pavers losing joint sand
Washing can wash out joint sand. We note where pavers need fresh sand so they do not shift.
Schedule a Walkthrough
We look at the surface type, stains, drainage and the pool, and agree on what gets cleaned. Each surface gets its own line on the written estimate.
Our Process: Done Right the First Time
- 1Walkthrough & Written EstimateWe look at the patio, pool deck and coping, note algae and rust, and check where water drains. The estimate lists each surface.
- 2Surface Test & CleaningWe test a corner first, then clean at a pressure that will not etch the deck or loosen coping. Plants get wet down and pool equipment gets covered.
- 3Rinse & WalkthroughRinse water is directed away from the pool, and we walk the deck with you. Equipment leaves the same visit.
What to Expect: Your Project Timeline
| Stage | When | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Estimate & booking | Week before | Walkthrough and written estimate |
| Pre-treatment | Start of visit | Plants wet down, stains pre-treated |
| Cleaning | 2 to 6 hours | Surface cleaning at the right pressure |
| Rinse & walkthrough | End of visit | Rinse away from the pool, then a walkthrough |
| Drying | A few hours | Deck dries in a few hours, slower under shade |
These are estimates. A rain shower or stubborn algae can add time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we do. We match the pressure and cleaner to the surface and rinse toward drains so chemicals stay out of the pool. Pavers may need fresh joint sand afterward to keep them from shifting. Most patios and pool decks take an estimated 2 to 6 hours.
Cool decking and painted surfaces get lower pressure than bare concrete.
The short answer is about $60 to $100 for a 200 sq ft patio and up to $500 for 1,000 sq ft, based on typical Houston-area pricing. Surface size, staining and access move the number. Your written estimate after an on-site walkthrough sets the exact price before work starts.
Typical estimates run $190 to $300 for 600 sq ft and $260 to $400 for 800 sq ft.
The short answer is a clean deck is less slippery than one with algae on it, because the growth is what makes the surface slick. The deck is wet and slick while we work, so it stays closed until it has dried.
Coping and the first step into the water are the spots worth checking before anyone swims.
The short answer is yes when it is used correctly. We wet down plants before and after, dilute the cleaner for each surface and rinse toward drains away from beds and the pool. Keep pets inside until the deck has been rinsed and is dry, usually a few hours.
The driveway can be done the same day; see Driveway Cleaning Services.
