Houston’s subtropical climate is great for backyard barbecues, but it is brutal on concrete. Humidity, sudden downpours, and airborne pollutants create the ideal environment for algae, mildew, and oil stains to embed deep into your driveway’s pores. Left unchecked, those stains reduce curb appeal and can even make surfaces slick enough to cause injuries. CountBricks delivers a data-driven, construction-grade solution that restores your driveway while protecting surrounding landscaping and building materials.
• Constant moisture triggers black mold rings that ordinary home-store pressure washers fail to reach
• High clay content in local soil leaves reddish rust streaks after every storm
• Summer UV cycles open micro-cracks that trap motor oil and barbecue grease
• Hard-water runoff from sprinkler systems causes calcium buildup along expansion joints
1. Real-time Voice Assessment – Using the CountBricks mobile app, our estimator walks your site with you on a live call, capturing square footage, slope angles, and material composition without waiting for a field visit.
2. Instant AI Costing – Our platform pulls current Houston labor rates, detergent pricing, and municipal water fees to generate a transparent line-item estimate in seconds.
3. Material Procurement – CountBricks automatically reserves eco-safe detergents and high-output surface cleaners through our supplier network. Nothing ships until you approve the quote.
4. Skilled Execution – A certified crew arrives with industrial rotary wands, 4,000 PSI machines, and wastewater recovery units compliant with Harris County storm-water codes.
5. Digital Close-out – Before/after photos are uploaded to your secure CountBricks.com/portfolio page alongside maintenance tips and future service reminders.
• Biodegradable surfactants that lift petroleum residue without harming grass
• Hot-water pressure units for protein-based stains like barbecue grease
• Rotary surface cleaners that maintain even pressure, eliminating tiger stripes
• Silane-siloxane sealers offered as an add-on to block moisture for up to five years
• Square footage and access: Long, narrow driveways take more crew hours than wide pads
• Pre-treatment chemistry: Older stains often need dual-stage degreasers
• Water control: Curbside drains require vacuum recovery to meet local code
• Optional sealing: Adds 20-30 ¢ per square foot but extends cleanliness by years
CountBricks specializes in holistic residential construction planning. Many clients bundle driveway cleaning with exterior repainting, siding repairs, or patio extensions. Because our AI engine recalculates quantities in real time, adding tasks doesn’t balloon overhead; it simply updates your materials list and crew schedule. Visit CountBricks.com/services to see how pressure washing dovetails with our remodeling packages.
• Schedule cleaning in spring or fall to avoid flash-drying that can bake in detergent stains
• Ask for a surface moisture reading before sealing; ideal levels are under 15 %
• Trim back landscaping the day before service to expose the full driveway edge
• Install splash guards beneath vehicle engines two days prior to appointment to prevent fresh drips
• Book recurring cleanings every 18 months; frequency may increase near oak or pine trees
1. How long does the service take? A typical 600 sq ft Houston driveway requires about two hours from setup to final rinse.
2. Will high pressure damage my concrete? Our rotary cleaners distribute force evenly, preventing etching on 3,000 PSI-rated slabs.
3. Can I DIY with a rental washer? Consumer units rarely exceed 2,000 PSI and lack heated water, making them ineffective on oil stains.
4. Do you offer sealing? Yes, we apply breathable silane-siloxane for driveways that have cured at least 28 days.
5. How do I schedule? Use the voice chatbot on CountBricks.com/consultation or call our Houston desk at any time.

When the Ramirez family planned a façade refresh on their 1940s brick home in West University Place, they used CountBricks to coordinate new shutters, trim paint, and, surprisingly, a driveway rescue. Decades of shade from live oaks had left the concrete almost black. Here’s how CountBricks added value without extending the overall schedule.
1. Unified Estimate – During the initial voice walk-through, the homeowner mentioned “a dirty driveway.” Our estimator tagged the area and, within 30 seconds, the AI engine priced cleaning at $0.32 per square foot, folded directly into the remodel quote.
2. Shared Labor – Because our painting crew was already mobilized with ladders and drop cloths, only one additional technician arrived with the pressure equipment, saving a separate trip charge.
3. Material Sync – Paint-prep required masking of low-lying brick. That same plastic sheeting shielded surrounding flowerbeds from detergent overspray, eliminating redundant site protection costs.
