At Brilliant Renovation LLC, we know Bronx and Brooklyn homeowners take pride in keeping their property looking sharp. One simple but powerful way to keep your home’s exterior looking clean and fresh is to power wash your driveway. Whether you’re dealing with oil stains, mold, or just years of grime, power washing brings your driveway back to life—and makes your home look ten times better.
Let’s break it down real quick: What it is, why you need it, how often to do it, and whether it’s better to call a pro or try the DIY route.
What Does It Mean to Power Wash a Driveway?
Power washing, also called high-pressure cleaning, uses a special machine (a pressure washer) to blast away dirt, stains, moss, mildew, and anything else built up on your driveway. Whether it’s concrete cleaning, asphalt, or pavers, the results can be night and day.
This ain’t just about looks—it’s about protecting your property. Bronx weather can be tough, and in places like Brooklyn, snow, salt, and oil leaks can wear down your driveway fast. A good power wash keeps things in check.
Benefits of Power Washing Your Driveway
1. Removes Tough Stains
We’re talking oil stain removal from driveway, rust, mildew, and all the gunk that regular hosing down can’t handle. It’s also great for mold and mildew removal, especially after wet winters.
2. Boosts Curb Appeal
Your driveway is one of the first things people see. Clean it up and instantly add polish to your home’s exterior. Thinking of selling? Yes—power washing increases home value.
3. Protects the Surface
Over time, dirt and grime break down your driveway material. Regular cleaning helps with driveway surface protection and keeps cracks from spreading.
4. Eco-Friendly Options
At Brilliant Renovation LLC, we offer eco-friendly power washing that’s tough on grime but gentle on the environment—no harsh chemicals messing with your lawn or local water supply.
DIY vs. Hiring a Pro
You could rent a pressure washer and try it yourself—but here’s the thing: You gotta know how to power wash a driveway without damaging it. Too much pressure, and boom—you’re chipping concrete or stripping asphalt. Not to mention, buying or renting pressure washer equipment isn’t always cheap.
Why Go Pro?
- Professional driveway cleaning gets deeper results.
- We know the right driveway cleaning solutions for each surface.
- We protect your home and landscaping while working.
- And honestly? It’s less stressful for you.
So, is power washing a driveway worth it? Absolutely—especially when done right.
Cost: What to Expect
So how much does driveway pressure washing cost? Depends on your driveway size and surface type. On average, in Bronx or Brooklyn, it runs anywhere from $150 to $500. Got deep oil or rust stains? That may bump up the price a bit, but we always offer fair quotes.

Common Questions from Homeowners
How often should I power wash my driveway?
We recommend once a year for maintenance. If you got a lot of shade or moisture, maybe twice a year.
Best time of year to power wash driveway?
Spring or early fall works best—temps are just right, and it’s perfect to wash away the grime from winter or summer.
How long does it take to power wash a driveway?
Most jobs are done in under 2 hours, depending on size and dirt level.
Can you power wash asphalt driveways?
Yes, but it needs lower pressure and the right touch. That’s why hiring power washing contractors like us matters.
Power washing vs sealing – what comes first?
Always wash first. Let it dry fully, then seal your driveway after washing to lock in that clean finish and protect it from weather and wear.
Pro Tips to Keep Your Driveway Clean Longer
- Sweep it weekly.
- Spot clean oil fast with proper solutions.
- Don’t park leaking cars.
- Ask about sealing—especially if you’re in Brooklyn with more snow and salt.
- Book a seasonal wash to keep it fresh year-round.
