Driveway & concrete
Oil spots, red clay, tire marks, and years of grey film lifted off driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks with a surface cleaner — no zebra striping.
Up to 4,400 PSIPressure washing and soft washing for Matthews, NC — with commercial-grade equipment, $2M insurance, and zero shortcuts. Flat-rate quote within one business day.
The right pressure for every job — from heavy-duty concrete blasting to gentle soft washing that protects delicate surfaces.
Oil spots, red clay, tire marks, and years of grey film lifted off driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks with a surface cleaner — no zebra striping.
Up to 4,400 PSIVinyl, brick, stucco, and hardboard cleaned with low pressure and the right solution — the green mildew and black streaks gone without forcing water behind the siding.
Under 500 PSIThose black streaks are algae eating your shingles' limestone filler. Removed chemically at low pressure — never blasted, which strips granules and voids warranties.
Under 500 PSIWood is soft and it shows every mistake. Pressure dialed in by species and age, working with the grain, so the grey weathering lifts and the fibers stay intact.
800–1,500 PSICleared out by hand, then the tiger-striping scrubbed off the outside face — the vertical black streaks that don't come off with a normal house wash.
Hand + soft washStorefronts, dumpster pads, drive-thrus, sidewalks and awnings — cleaned before you open, so a customer never watches you wash gum off the entrance.
Scheduled off-hoursHand washing and touchless rinsing for cars, trucks, trailers, and fleet vehicles — at your home or your yard, without the swirl marks a tunnel wash leaves.
Touchless + handWhat 4,400 PSI does to the three surfaces we clean most. Each slider is a reference pair showing what that surface looks like dirty and clean. They are marked “Sample photo” because they are not our jobs — our own before-and-afters replace them as we shoot them. Your driveway could be our next before & after.
↔ Every slider is live We photograph every job — this gallery fills up with real Charlotte homes as we wash them.
These are the places we drive past on the way to jobs. If you recognise them, we're your neighbours — and we're the crew that actually knows what your siding is up against.
Matthews is two towns sharing one footprint. At the center is a 19th-century railroad village — Trade Street, Renfrow Hardware, Stumptown Park — that grew up around a Central Carolina Railroad depot and got the nickname Stumptown from all the stumps left standing when the land was cleared for cotton. It incorporated in 1879 and took its name from Edward Matthews, a director of the railroad. Wrapped around that core is everything built in the 1980s and 90s: Brightmoor, Sardis Plantation, Matthews Plantation, Sardis Forest, Weddington Ridge. Today it holds 29,435 people, with US 74 cutting straight through the middle and four I-485 interchanges feeding the south side.
Those subdivisions bracket the town's building era almost exactly. Brightmoor went up between 1986 and 1994; Sardis Plantation ran 1985 to 1998, mostly two-story and ranch homes of 2,000 to 3,800 square feet in brick or partial brick with vinyl in the gables. What that means on a work order is simple: the driveway, the front walk and the back patio are all original slabs, which puts them three to four decades deep in clay staining and shade mildew, and the vinyl above the brick holds green film on whichever elevation gets the least sun. The historic core is a completely different job. The frame houses and small commercial buildings around Trade Street and Crestdale date to the late 1800s and early 1900s, with wood siding, painted trim and original porches that need low pressure and patience rather than volume.
Three local conditions drive most of the work. The soil is Cecil-series red clay, North Carolina's state soil, and the iron oxide in it is what turns a driveway apron and the edges of a walkway orange after hard rain. Pollen is the second — pine peaks from late March into the first half of April, and the hardwoods, oak and hickory and maple, run through April, so a house washed in the middle of that is yellow again within the week. Shade is the third and the most persistent. When these neighborhoods were platted the developers left the mature hardwoods standing, so thirty-plus years on the canopy is genuinely tall. It looks wonderful from the street and it keeps a north or east wall damp long after the rain has stopped, which is exactly the slow-drying condition algae and Gloeocapsa magma need. Add a summer where August humidity peaks around 74% and the shaded side of a Matthews house ends up looking a decade older than the sunny side.
Matthews' mature trees are beautiful — and brutal on north-facing siding and shaded driveways. Algae and mildew thrive under that canopy, which is exactly the buildup our soft-wash system was built for: cleaning solution applied under 500 PSI and given time to kill the organism at the root, instead of a fast high-pressure pass that knocks it off the wall for one season and forces water behind the lap joints on the way. Concrete is the opposite job — a rotating surface cleaner at up to 4,400 PSI, uniform passes, none of the zebra striping a hand-held wand leaves down the middle of a driveway.
Same standard, same guarantee, every visit. We walk the property with you, set the pressure per surface, and give you one flat number in writing before anything starts. Hyper Tension carries $2M in liability coverage and you can have the certificate the same day you ask for it. We walk the property together again before the trailer gets packed up, and anything you're not happy with gets re-cleaned on the spot rather than on a follow-up visit.
Don't see yours? If you're in or around Matthews, we'll come — just ask.
We won't pretend we've been washing Charlotte for 20 years. Here's what we bring instead — and why new might be exactly what you want.
Concrete takes up to 4,400 PSI through a surface cleaner. Siding and roofs get soft washed under 500 PSI. Wood sits between 800 and 1,500. One setting for every surface is how damage happens.
Hot-water capable machines, proper surface cleaners, soft-wash injection, and enough hose to reach the back of your property without moving the truck four times.
One number reaches the people who do the work — not a call centre, not a dispatcher, not a form that generates a callback in three days. Questions get answered the same day, by someone who has seen your property.
We look at the job, then give you one number for all of it. No hourly meter, no surprise square-footage adjustment when we arrive with the trailer.
Ask for the certificate of insurance and you'll have it the same day. An uninsured contractor on your roof is a risk that lands on your policy.
Failing mortar, brittle end-of-life shingles, rotten deck boards, active leaks — some surfaces need a different trade first. Saying so costs us the job and keeps our name intact.
We're building our before & after gallery one Matthews home at a time. Book now, lock in a founding-customer rate, and if you let us photograph the transformation, we'll take care of you on every future wash too.
Send the address and what needs cleaning. Photos help but aren't required — we can usually read a property from the street view and your description.
One number for the whole job, back to you within one business day. It covers everything discussed, and it doesn't move unless you add work.
On the day and at the time agreed. Plants pre-wetted, delicate surfaces tested first, pressure set per surface, everything rinsed down when we're done.
We go around the property together before we pack up. Anything you're not happy with, we re-do on the spot — not on a follow-up visit.
If it's not spotless, we come back and re-blast it at no charge. We're a new company — our name is worth more than any single invoice, and we act like it on every job.
Usually within the week once you've got a quote, and those letters typically give you a 14-to-30-day window to cure. If you're in one of the planned 1980s-and-90s subdivisions here, you're most likely under recorded covenants, and enforcement in North Carolina runs through the Planned Community Act, Chapter 47F. After written notice and a hearing, an association can levy up to $100 for the violation plus $100 for each day it continues more than five days past the decision — which is why a mildew letter turns into an urgent phone call rather than a spring project. Send us the letter along with the address and we'll price exactly what it's asking for. If it only names the north elevation, you don't have to pay for all four.
For a cosmetic wash, yes. Pine pollen peaks from late March into the first half of April in this part of the Piedmont, with hardwood pollen running through April, so a house washed at the height of it will be coated again in days. Late April onward is the honest answer for siding and driveways. The exception is anything that isn't cosmetic — algae, dark Gloeocapsa magma streaks and red clay staining don't wait for the calendar, and neither does an HOA deadline or a listing photo date. If you've got one of those, we'll wash whenever you need it and tell you plainly what the pollen will do afterward.
Not in the way most people mean the phrase, no. The houses through the Trade Street and Crestdale area are late-1800s and early-1900s frame construction — wood siding, painted trim, original porch details, and often mortar that is softer than it looks. That's a soft wash under 500 PSI, with a test patch in an inconspicuous spot first and hand work on the trim and porch. High pressure raises the grain on old wood permanently, and on aging mortar joints it simply removes the mortar. If part of your exterior shouldn't be washed at all, we'll say so before we quote it, even when that means a smaller job.
It depends on square footage, surface, and condition — which is why we quote flat rather than publishing a price list that would be wrong for your property. Send us the address and what needs cleaning and you'll have one number for the whole job within a business day, with no obligation. We'd rather give you an accurate price than a cheap-looking one that changes on the day.
It absolutely can — which is why we don't pressure wash either of them. Siding and roofs get soft washed under 500 PSI, where a cleaning solution does the work and the water only rinses. High pressure on siding forces water behind lap joints and past window seals; on a shingle roof it sweeps off the ceramic granules that give the shingle its UV protection, and most manufacturers void the warranty for it. High pressure is for concrete.
In the Charlotte metro, most homes want a house wash every 12 to 18 months and a driveway once a year. Shade is the variable that matters most: a north-facing wall under mature tree canopy stays damp after rain and grows algae far faster than a wall in full sun, so heavily shaded neighborhoods often need it annually. Pine-heavy properties usually want gutters cleared twice a year rather than once.
We use your outdoor spigot — a standard hose connection is plenty, and it costs a few dollars of water for a typical job. We bring our own power. If your spigot is broken, has low flow, or you're on a well with limited recovery, tell us in advance and we'll plan for it rather than discovering it in your driveway.
We're based in Charlotte and serve the whole metro — Matthews, Mint Hill, Huntersville, Concord, Pineville, Ballantyne, Fort Mill SC, Gastonia, and Indian Trail. If you're near the edge of that list, ask anyway; if you're close, we'll come.
Tell us about the job and we'll come back within one business day with a flat price. Prefer to pick a time? Book a wash online.
