At last, the weather is warming and the sun’s here to stay! As the focal point for summer fun, now’s the perfect time to bring your patio back to life. The key to a truly inviting space? Pressure washing. Yep, thoroughly clean your patio now—enjoy it summer, fall and beyond. 

According to Kyle Osborne at Osborne Pro Wash, there are some pros for cleaning and sealing your stamped concrete or concrete patio in the spring (driveway, sidewalks and pool deck, too):

Added Appeal
Having a patio that’s clean and well maintained means family and friends can enjoy time in an attractive, inviting space—and adds value to your home over its lifetime.

Durability
Ohio’s drastic weather changes with snow, ice and rain take a toll on a concrete surface. Regular cleaning and sealing keep it looking its best and extend its life.

Health & Safety
Pressure washing helps remove dust, mold and allergens, and reduces the risk of slipping on accumulated materials.

Seal of Approval
Sealing the surface after cleaning not only enhances colors and textures, it also provides added protection—Kyle recommends sealing every three to five years. 

Make It Easy, Call in the Pros
Osborne Pro Wash uses only the highest quality products and can quickly take care of any exterior soft or pressure washing need.
