Driveways take on a lot quietly, oil that drips and gets driven over for months, algae that spreads across the surface through wet seasons, tire marks that lock into the concrete, and a slow accumulation of grime that builds until the whole thing just looks permanently stained. Most homeowners don’t notice how far it’s gone until they’re standing in the driveway one afternoon and realize it hasn’t looked clean in years. The good news is that most of what’s built up comes off when the job is done properly.
Ortiz Pro Wash cleans driveways using a structured three-phase process: pre-treatment to break down what’s embedded, section-by-section surface cleaning so nothing gets skipped, and a post-treatment pass to handle anything stubborn that’s still holding on. We check each section before moving to the next, which keeps the result even across the whole surface rather than clean in some spots and missed in others. Delaware’s mix of wet winters, spring pollen, and humid summers gives driveways plenty to deal with, and we’ve seen most of it.
If your driveway has been on your list for a while, now’s a good time to get it handled. Reach out for a free estimate, and we’ll get you scheduled.
Our driveway cleaning pricing typically ranges from $100 to $500, depending on the size and condition of the driveway.
Several factors influence where your driveway falls within that range:
Driveway cleaning is often discounted when bundled with house washing because we are already on-site and do not charge the full standalone price for the add-on.
If you are scheduling multiple services, ask us about any bundle savings that may apply to your driveway cleaning.
Concrete is the most common driveway type we clean in Delaware. Our process starts with a full driveway pre-treatment to loosen organic growth and surface grime. After that, we use a professional surface cleaner as the primary cleaning method. It works like a spinning pressure washer with attached brushes, allowing us to clean the concrete evenly.
Paver driveways typically cost more to clean than concrete. They are a premium surface and require a more controlled technique to avoid uneven results. We still follow our structured system of pre-treatment, surface cleaning, and post-treatment, but we pay close attention to detail because pavers can show inconsistencies more easily than plain concrete. If you want longer-lasting results and easier maintenance, you can ask us about paver sealing as a separate service after cleaning. Sealing is not included in standard driveway cleaning.
Most homeowners do not wash asphalt driveways, so asphalt cleaning is handled on a special request basis. If you have an asphalt driveway, we will review the condition and discuss whether cleaning is appropriate. We approach asphalt carefully and set expectations before starting.
We clean in sections for a reason. After pretreating the entire driveway, we surface-clean one section at a time, rinsing it thoroughly before moving on to the next. This clean, rinse, move workflow helps us maintain consistent results and identify any areas that need additional attention before we leave.
We do not rely solely on pressure. We start with a full pretreatment to loosen algae and grime. Then we use a surface cleaner to remove buildup evenly. After that, we apply a post-treatment to handle any leftover contaminants. This layered approach is more thorough than a quick rinse and gives you a more uniform finish.
Oil stains are treated directly before we clean the entire driveway. We apply a cleaning solution to the oil spot, let it work, wash it, and then treat it again if needed. We repeat the treat-and-wash cycle until the oil is gone or most of it is removed. We set realistic expectations and do not promise that every stain will disappear completely.
Tire marks and stubborn spots are addressed during the post-treatment phase. If needed, we apply directly with a brush to target specific areas. We do not just clean around the problem spots. We work on them directly.
We use eco-friendly detergents and apply sodium hypochlorite at a minimum concentration to target organic growth. We adjust our ratios based on weather conditions so the cleaners work properly without overuse. If you have questions about what we use, we can provide a material safety data sheet upon request.
We also take steps to protect surrounding areas during service and apply neutralizing agents as part of our broader operating approach to help safeguard plants and landscaping.
When you contact us, we follow up quickly by phone or email. Once your service is scheduled, we send reminders as the date approaches. About an hour before arrival, we send an on-the-way notice so you are not left guessing.
After the driveway cleaning is complete, we notify you and confirm you are satisfied before we leave. We do not disappear until we are sure you are happy with the results.
We carry insurance and use professional equipment, including surface cleaners and power washers. We can also bring our own water if needed, although an additional cost may apply depending on the project. Our equipment setup supports both residential and commercial standards.
Most customers reach out by phone or email. We follow up quickly and can schedule an appointment to evaluate the property and provide a proposal. Once approved, we confirm your spot on the schedule and send reminders as your service date approaches.
When we arrive, we will let you know we are there. We connect to the water source if needed and prepare our cleaning solutions. If you have concerns about the products, we can provide safety documentation upon request.
We pretreat the entire driveway to make cleaning more effective. This step helps loosen algae, dirt, and other buildup so the surface cleaner can work evenly.
We use a surface cleaner that operates like a spinning pressure washer with attached brushes. We clean in sections to maintain control and prevent uneven lines. Each section is handled thoroughly before we move to the next.
After each section is cleaned, we rinse it fully. Once the main cleaning is complete, we apply post-treatment to stubborn areas. If needed, we apply directly with a brush for specific contaminants.
When the job is done, we notify you and confirm you are satisfied with the results. Our goal is for you to feel relieved seeing the driveway clean again.
If you are home, we can collect payment on the spot. If not, we can send an invoice with Net 15 or Net 30 terms as needed. We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, checks, and digital payments such as Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal.
After service, we send a receipt and follow up by requesting a Google review.
Driveway cleaning does not include a written multi-year warranty.
Before we leave, we confirm you are satisfied with the results. If you are not happy, we will return to address the issue and try to make it right. In some situations, a partial money-back remedy may be offered. We handle these cases directly and case by case.
Many driveway cleanings take around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Heavier organic growth or multiple stained areas can take longer because we treat problem spots thoroughly.
Yes. We treat oil stains directly before cleaning the entire driveway, then repeat the treat-and-wash cycle until the oil is gone or most of it is removed.
We use eco-friendly detergents and apply sodium hypochlorite at a minimum concentration. We can provide a material safety data sheet upon request and take steps to protect surrounding areas.
