Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
Oil, mildew, and gray film gone — flatwork for home and business. Serving Goleta, Santa Barbara, Montecito & Summerland — insured, on time, rated 5.0★.
What we do
Concrete gets dirty so slowly you stop seeing it — until we clean one strip and the line between the done and undone halves stops you in your tracks. Goleta Pressure Washing brings driveways, walkways, patios, and pool decks back to their real color with a rotary surface cleaner for an even, stripe-free finish, plus targeted treatment for the oil, rust, and mildew a plain rinse leaves behind. Residential and commercial flatwork both — a two-car driveway in Goleta or the entry and courtyard for a Santa Barbara business. If you've been searching how to get an oil stain out of a driveway, the honest answer is a degreaser, hot water, and dwell time worked down into the pores — which is exactly what we bring, and exactly why a rental machine and a jug of dish soap usually don't get it done.
A rotary surface cleaner does the flat work so the finish is uniform edge to edge — none of the wand stripes that turn a cleaned driveway into a striped one. We detail the borders, control joints, and steps by hand where the machine can't sit flat.
Oil, transmission fluid, and rust get pre-treated before the wash — a degreaser for the petroleum, a rust remover for the orange stains — so they lift out of the pores instead of smearing across the slab. Fresh stains usually clear completely. A years-old oil patch soaked deep into bare concrete will lighten and even out rather than vanish, and we'll tell you honestly which yours is before we start.
We keep the runoff controlled and rinse the whole area down at the end, so there's no ring of pushed-out dirt around the clean zone. The same crew handles residential driveways and commercial flatwork alike.

Driveway, Concrete & Gutters
Very happy with the job Zack did! Our driveway, concrete walkways, stucco walls and garage door are nice and clean now. Gutters, too! Highly recommend!
Karen V.
Patio Roof Cleaning
Grant and Zack did a great job on my patio roof. Looks like it's brand new. I would highly recommend these hard-working guys.
Kenneth Just
Full Exterior Wash
We are extremely satisfied with Grant's power washing. From the walls to the windows, patio tiles and pavers, and the driveway — they all look bright and clean now! The eaves were covered in cobwebs and dirt. All gone! Highly professional.

Questions
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning FAQs
How do you get oil stains out of a driveway?
The honest method is a degreaser plus hot water and dwell time, worked down into the concrete's pores so the oil lifts instead of just smearing on the surface — which is why a cold rinse or dish soap rarely does it. Fresh stains usually clear completely. A years-old stain that's soaked deep into bare concrete will lighten and even out rather than disappear entirely, and we'll tell you which yours is before we start.
How much does driveway cleaning cost in Santa Barbara?
A standard two-car driveway is usually $150–$300, and larger patios or full hardscape jobs go up from there by square footage and how heavy the staining is. Oil and rust treatment is included in the wash, and you get a firm number after we see the surface.
Will pressure washing crack my concrete?
Not at the right settings. Sound concrete handles pressure washing well; we adjust for older or spalling surfaces so nothing gets etched. It's mismatched pressure and a careless wand — not washing itself — that causes damage, which is exactly why we read the surface first.
How often should I clean my concrete?
About once a year keeps most driveways and patios sharp and stops mildew and oil from setting in. High-traffic or shaded surfaces that grow mildew in the coastal damp can benefit from a cleaning every six months.
