Concrete & Driveway Cleaning & Sealing
Rust-stained concrete usually wants the full treatment: stain lifted, slab pressure washed, surface sealed.
Concrete cleaning & sealingA specialty most washers don’t offer
Rust removal
Rust doesn’t rinse off — it bonds to the surface, and pressure alone just gets you wet rust. We lift it from doors, siding, and concrete with treatments matched to each surface. The door below is our proof.
The proof
Drag the handle on that door
That’s not a replacement door in the after photo. It’s the same door.
Most washing companies see a job like that and pass. Rust removal is a specialty of ours precisely because it can’t be done with pressure — each surface needs its own treatment, applied and rinsed correctly, or you trade a rust stain for a damaged finish.
- Steel and painted doors
- Rust streaks on siding
- Rust staining on concrete and driveways
Light rust staining also comes off during a house soft wash; the heavy, set-in stains are what this service exists for. More transformations on the our work page.
How we do it
Match the treatment to the surface
-
Identify the surface
A steel door, painted siding, and bare concrete each take a different treatment — getting this right is most of the job.
-
Treat the stain
The right solution breaks the rust’s bond with the surface instead of grinding at it with pressure.
-
Rinse and inspect
We rinse the treatment off, check the finish underneath, and walk the result with you before we leave.
On concrete: rust removal pairs naturally with concrete cleaning and sealing — treat the stain, wash the slab, then seal it while it’s clean.
Honest pricing
What affects the price
Rust jobs vary more than most washing work, so we quote each one individually — free, within 24 hours.
- Surface type — doors, siding, and concrete each take different treatments and different care.
- How set-in the stain is — rust that has had years to bond takes more treatment than a fresh streak.
- Area affected — a door panel and a rust-streaked driveway are different amounts of work.
- Combining services — rust treatment added to a house wash or concrete job shares the trip.

Common questions
Rust removal questions
Why won’t pressure washing alone remove rust?
Rust isn’t sitting on the surface — it has bonded with it. Pressure alone just gets you wet rust. Removing it takes a treatment matched to the surface, which is what this service is.
What surfaces can you remove rust from?
Doors, siding, and concrete. Each surface gets a different treatment — what lifts rust from a steel door isn’t what you use on a driveway.
Will the treatment damage the finish underneath?
Matching the treatment to the surface is the whole point of the service. The door on this page kept its finish — that’s why we show the after photo instead of describing it.
Is rust removal included in a house wash?
A residential soft wash removes light rust staining along with algae, mildew, and grime. Heavy, set-in rust — like the door on this page — is a standalone specialty job, and we quote it as one.
