Greater Cincinnati weather swings from freezing winters to humid summers. Those cycles open pores in concrete, trap moisture, and invite stains from de-icing salts, lawn chemicals, and everyday foot traffic. Left unchecked, grime does more than ruin curb appeal—it shortens slab life and drives up replacement costs. CountBricks specializes in residential concrete cleaning, pairing AI-driven estimating with field-tested methods to make every patio, walkway, and driveway look new.
Data-Smart Estimating
Our voice-enabled app measures square footage, counts expansion joints, and pulls real-time Cincinnati material pricing in seconds. You immediately receive a transparent estimate that includes:
• Surface preparation labor

• Low-pressure rinse or 3,500 PSI wash depending on slab age
• Optional crack repair and sealant add-ons
Visit CountBricks.com/services to see the full estimating workflow.
1. Site assessment with moisture reading and surface hardness check
2. Application of pH-balanced pre-treat to lift oil, rust, and mildew
3. Rotary surface cleaning using a hover head for even pressure
4. Edge detailing with a turbo nozzle to flush joints and corners
5. Neutralizing rinse and water reclamation to meet local runoff codes
6. Optional penetrating sealer for long-term protection
• Boost property value by up to 5 % with refreshed hardscapes
• Prevent freeze–thaw spalling and costly slab replacements
• Reduce slip hazards caused by algae films
• Extend life of decorative stamps and color washes
Regional Water Quality
High mineral content in municipal water leaves deposits if not neutralized. CountBricks crews carry inline filters to avoid white film.
Historic Neighborhood Density
Narrow drives and shared easements demand compact surface cleaners and careful hose routing—labor that generic estimators overlook.
Seasonal Demand Peaks
• Early spring: salt residue removal
• Late fall: pre-winter sealing
Booking during shoulder months can trim 10 % from labor costs.
DIY Challenges
• Big-box rental washers often lack GPM flow for deep cleaning
• Over-pressurizing etches the surface, voiding slab warranties
• Store detergents may violate local EPA runoff guidelines

How long does the process take?
Most residential driveways are completed in two to three hours, including setup and cleanup.
Is pressure washing safe for stamped or colored concrete?
Yes. We adjust PSI, nozzle angle, and detergent to protect decorative finishes, then apply a UV-resistant sealant if requested.
What about rain?
Light rain is fine. Heavy storms delay service because water dilutes cleaning agents.

After each project, homeowners receive a digital care log in their CountBricks dashboard. It includes a service timeline, recommended re-seal date, and voice reminders they can activate. This proactive approach prevents minor stains from becoming major repairs.
Cincinnati’s infrastructure plan includes more de-icing brine usage, which will accelerate surface staining citywide. CountBricks is already updating its detergent library and AI cost index to reflect the change, ensuring clients stay a step ahead.
