"JDM is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with. They are my go to for all concrete works and I've used their services extensively. A 70'L x 12' tall 2'thick Keystone retaining wall with 2 bends, footings, a 100' sidewalk curb, 1200 sq feet of crushed stone leveling and ground prep. Thousands of sq feet of landscape grading. They've been been spot on every time. For example, the retaining wall, has both low point drainage and face drains, with stepped geogrid tiebacks. This is how a proper retaining wall is done. They even trimmed the geogrid fabric around the blocks 100% pro grade retaining wall. Get complimented on it by other contractors all the time. Footings were 2'round and 1'round dug 4' deep, well below frostline, positioned right on center for steel posts. Ironworker gave a "dang, these footings are dead nuts". The concrete walk had 2 vectors of fall, 2% linear fall and 1% lateral. There are relief scores every 6' and its edges properly shaped against chipping. Obviously mother nature doesn't play nice and poured concrete does its thing, so I bet I could bust out my micrometer and laser level and find some +-% somewhere, or some place where concrete leaked through forms. Its real life and poured material doesn't always obey. I read some bad reviews here and I must say, am surprised. If you communicate to Danelle and Melvin what you want done EXACTLY they will get it done to your speciifications as close as anyone I've worked with. Danelle shows up on time to do the estimates, bids are quick and fair, and the invoice has always been at or below bid. Melvin is a top tier foreman. Asks what you want before every job. He does exactly what you say, so some of the negative reviews could probably have been more thorough with their instructions. Specify depth, degree of fall, give them the architectural prints. You will get what you want. If you want precise results, give precise instructions, and JDM gives me the results I want every time, bar none. I'll build my retirement home on their concrete."

"We are so thankful to R&M Construction for a job well done on the siding of our 124 year old home. After getting bids that prevented us from doing siding at all, Ryan quoted us a honest and fair price but beyond price, his professionalism was exemplary. When he said heâ d be at the house he was and on time. He did exactly what he said he would do and he delivered a great product with a great crew who worked diligently to get the house looking so very good. I am so impressed with Ryan and R&M that theyâ ll be hired again for future projects. Honest, courteous and professional!"

Concrete Driveways questions, answered by experts

You should avoid using a pressure washer on any surface or item that could be damaged by the high-pressure spray, as some materials are too delicate to withstand the force.

Key items and surfaces to avoid include:

  • Electrical Components: Never pressure wash electrical systems, as water can cause short-circuits and create a safety hazard. This includes utility meters, breaker boxes, electrical outlets, generators, and HVAC or air conditioner units.

  • Delicate and Fragile Materials: Fragile items can crack, shatter, or be stripped by the pressure. Avoid pressure washing windows, glass, light fixtures, shingled roofs (especially asphalt), and stucco.

  • Painted, Stained, or Sealed Surfaces: Unless your goal is to strip the finish, do not pressure wash painted surfaces, stained wood (like decks), or anything with a protective seal that could be stripped away. Be especially cautious with older surfaces that may contain lead paint.

  • Soft Woods and Certain Decking: Delicate surfaces like softwood, composite decking, and antique or wooden patio furniture can be etched or damaged. If you must wash wood, use a lower-powered pressure washer with a wide-angle nozzle to prevent damage.

  • Living Things: Never use a pressure washer on people, pets, or plants. The force can cause serious injury and will destroy landscaping.

In most cases, driveway repair is worth the investment. Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they look at your home, so repairing cracks, chips, and potholes can improve your home’s curb appeal and overall value. Repairing your driveway is also almost always more affordable than replacing it entirely—an average of $1,765 compared to the cost of replacing a driveway, which typically costs around $5,000.

A pressure washer’s size or power is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). The amount of pressure you need will depend on your project and the material you’re washing, but consumer pressure washers range from 500 to 2,400 PSI. Porous materials like brick and stucco should not be blasted with anything stronger than 1,000 PSI, while you can use a PSI of up to 2,400 to clean a vinyl fence.

Pressure washing is a great way to take care of built-up messes much more easily and quickly than manual scrubbing. Pressure washing can save you energy, time, and even money by getting rid of contaminants that can lead to damage to your home. It can also increase curb appeal if you’re getting ready to make a home sale.

Yes, you can pressure wash epoxy floors, but you must take precautions to avoid damaging the surface. While most epoxy floors can be cleaned with a mop, you might choose to pressure wash if the floor is stained, has ground-in dirt, or is covered with mold or mildew. To do so safely, first soak any stains or dirty areas with a gentle cleanser. Use a lower pressure setting with a gentle nozzle, such as a green, white, or black tip, or a 45-degree angled tip. Keep the spray nozzle at least 18 inches away from the floor to protect the surface. Using a surface cleaner attachment or a rotary scrubber can also help prevent overspray. Be cautious if using a power washer that heats the water, as the combination of heat and pressure may be too powerful and could damage the epoxy coating.
