"Mike was the lowest bidder. That often concerns me, but in the actual event, he worked around difficult weather conditions to get the job done before winter set in. His crew was professional. The repairs were done correctly and cleanup was excellent. At one point, we discussed a difficult driveway that had not been asphalted because this neighbor is recovering from a devastating financial setback brought on by health issues. This led to a significant erosion issue after every major rain. A trench had developed through the width of the driveway. Mike said he would add in a fix for her drive at no extra cost to the HOA that had contracted with him for the other repairs. I expected a few feet of asphalt to cover the culvert that was crushing and eroding. He actually created a driveway entrance about 30 ft. wide and extending about 12 ft. up the drive. I was stunned. See the included photo. He and his crew went far beyond our expectations both in the work we had contracted for and also in the work he offered to do for out neighbor. I would highly recommend Mike and Martin's Asphalt to anyone. I included photos of the drive way fix and one of four roadway patches."

Concrete Driveways questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is advisable to prime a driveway before painting. Primer serves as a preparatory step, promoting better paint adhesion to the surface, enhancing durability, and ensuring a smoother, more even finish. Priming is essential for concrete driveways as they are porous and absorb paint unevenly without proper priming. Skipping this step may result in a less durable and less aesthetically pleasing paint job, requiring more frequent repainting.

Some homeowners have luck using pressure washers, but this only works for old or weaker concrete sealants and with very powerful pressure washers. You’ll get better results by pressure washing water-based sealants. However, it’s worth trying on any sealant if you’re hoping for the least toxic, least expensive, and most DIY-friendly option. To try this method, rent or buy the most powerful pressure washer you can find and take several passes at the concrete, completely pressure washing the entire area. You may need to repeat the process multiple times to see results.

Professional power washing removes built-up dirt, mold, and mildew, which preserves exterior surfaces and improves curb appeal. Hiring a professional ensures the cleaning is done effectively and without damaging surfaces.

The ideal frequency for pressure washing depends on the surface being cleaned and your local environmental conditions. For a home's exterior with siding that is safe to wash (such as vinyl, cement, or aluminum), a full wash once or twice a year is a good guideline to remove accumulated dirt, grime, mold, and mildew. You may need to wash more frequently if you live in an area with heavy rain or snow, near a dirt road, or if you notice excessive buildup. Other surfaces have different schedules; for example, a frequently used driveway may need cleaning more often, while outdoor patio furniture might only need to be washed every few years. Use your discretion based on how dirty the area gets.

Concrete does well with a number of cleaning agents, as it’s a durable material. Choose from acidic cleaners, alkaline cleaners, and pH-neutral cleaners, in addition to antibacterial solutions. Your best bet is to simply read the fine print with your preferred detergent and make sure it mentions concrete as a viable surface.
