The Central Valley’s sun-baked summers, intermittent fog, and agricultural dust leave a stubborn film on driveways, patios, and exterior walls. Fresno homeowners who neglect routine power washing can watch pristine concrete turn blotchy, stamped patios lose their pattern definition, and painted trim age prematurely. CountBricks steps in with a data-driven, construction-grade approach that turns a simple rinse into a value-adding upgrade for any residential property.
• Airborne ag dust settles daily, lodging into surface pores
• Hard-water irrigation overspray creates mineral rings
• UV exposure bakes stains deep into concrete capillaries
• Occasional frost-thaw cycles open micro-cracks that trap dirt
Traditional DIY hoses or rental washers rarely combine the right PSI, detergents, and flow rates to counter these forces. CountBricks provides calibrated specifications inside every estimate so crews arrive prepared to strip contaminants without etching the slab.
1. Pre-construction: Reveal true substrate condition before resurfacing or re-painting
2. Mid-project: Remove mud and grout haze after masonry or landscaping work
3. Close-out: Deliver a showroom-clean finish for client hand-over and final inspection
4. Annual maintenance: Preserve curb appeal and extend coating warranties
Using real-time voice capture, CountBricks records square footage, surface type, stain severity, and water-source access. Our proprietary engine instantly calculates PSI requirements, detergent concentration, labor hours, and equipment wear. No paper pads—just an on-site conversation that outputs a ready-to-sign digital quote.
• Up-to-the-minute detergent pricing sourced from local Fresno suppliers
• Fuel surcharges updated daily for trailer-mounted washers
• Crew labor rates adjusted to prevailing wage data
These live inputs prevent bid overruns and keep residential clients confident that their invoice will match the estimate. Learn more at CountBricks.com/services.
Upload a site plan or snap a smartphone photo of the driveway. CountBricks AI traces contours, deducts planter beds, and exports a clean takeoff so your power wash scope is laser-accurate. No more “eyeballing” irregular pads.
Concrete Driveways: 3000–3500 PSI, 4 GPM flow, alkaline degreaser at 10:1 dilution
Exposed Aggregate: 2500 PSI, 3.5 GPM, neutral pH cleaner to protect pea gravel
Paver Patios: 2200 PSI, 3 GPM, enzyme-based cleaner to avoid polymeric sand washout
CountBricks embeds these specs in every invoice so homeowners can verify that onsite settings match the engineered plan.
1. Pre-soak landscape edges to shield plants from overspray
2. Apply detergent via low-pressure injector; dwell 7–10 minutes
3. Mechanical agitation on oil spots using a stiff-bristle deck brush
4. High-pressure rinse with surface cleaner to prevent wand marks
5. Post-treatment sealer application if requested in the CountBricks quote
• Standard 600 ft² driveway, light staining: $0.25–$0.30 per ft²
• Heavy oil buildup or rust: add $60–$90 chemical upcharge
• Large circular drives or gated estates: volume discounts applied automatically in CountBricks estimates
• Optional satin concrete sealer: $0.15–$0.22 per ft²
Because pricing is generated in real-time, homeowners see transparent line items instead of a single lump sum.
• Will high pressure damage my concrete? CountBricks calibrates PSI to surface hardness and uses rotary surface cleaners to prevent streaks.
• Is recycled water available? Yes. Our estimates include an optional water reclamation add-on that meets local Fresno runoff regulations.
• How soon can crews be scheduled? Typical lead time is 3–5 business days once you approve the AI-generated quote.

When a 1940s ranch home in Fresno’s historic Fig Garden neighborhood hit the market, years of oil drips and iron-rich well water stains hid the beauty of its stamped concrete driveway. The seller contacted CountBricks for a same-day voice estimate.

• Optional satin sealer suggested to enhance stamp depth and resist future stains
1. Crews arrived with the exact detergent volume calculated by CountBricks—no surplus waste
2. Pre-soak and dwell times followed the digital work order embedded in the quote
3. Post-wash inspection used thermal imaging (a CountBricks add-on) to confirm moisture levels before sealing
