Sidewalk cleaning

Who does sidewalk cleaning in Miami?

The Boss Pressure Washing

Edge to edge. Gum gone. Not slick when it rains.

The short answer

Yes, The Boss Pressure Washing cleans sidewalks and walkways in Miami: the path to the door, the steps, the porch slab and the city sidewalk between your yard and the street. Algae is pre-treated, gum and stains are worked by hand, then a surface cleaner evens the whole run and it gets rinsed. One man, based in Miami. Text a photo to 786-985-1684.

The work

How we do it

Done right

A pre-treatment on the algae, a surface cleaner run along the slab, wand work on the gum, the edges and the steps, then a rinse down the whole run to the street.

A sidewalk is narrow and broken into short slabs, so the surface cleaner runs in straight passes along the length and the wand picks up what the hood misses at the joints and against the grass. Steps and the porch slab get the wand at a controlled distance so the finish matches the walk.

Gum, mango drop and iguana droppings are worked by hand before the machine goes over them. They do not come off with pressure alone; they smear. The rinse runs downhill to the street so nothing dries on the slab.

Walk the run

We look at the slab from the door to the street, note root heave, cracks, gum and stains, and tell you what cleaning will and will not change.

Pre-treat

The green and black film gets a cleaning solution and time to work. Gum and drops get worked loose by hand.

Surface clean

Straight passes with the surface cleaner along the slabs, then the wand at the joints, the edges and the steps.

Rinse to the street

The whole run gets rinsed downhill so nothing dries in the low slabs, then a walk-through with you.

Straight talk

No surprises

We clean the sidewalk, we do not repair it

A pressure washer does not lift a slab, close a crack or grind a root heave. If your sidewalk is a trip hazard, you need concrete work, and no amount of cleaning changes that. What cleaning does change is everything on the surface: the algae that makes it slick, the gum, the sap, the rust from a sprinkler head and the grey film that makes the whole front of the house look tired. We tell you which of those you have before we start.

What moves the quote

Length of the run

A short path from the drive to the door is a quick add-on. A corner lot with sidewalk on two streets is its own job.

How green it is

A sidewalk under a live oak that has gone black and slick takes more pre-treatment and more dwell than a sunny slab with a year of dust.

Gum, sap and drops

Each one is hand work before the machine. A sidewalk outside a bus stop or under a mango tree carries more of it.

Steps and porch

Steps are wand work at a controlled distance, and a tiled or painted porch slab needs a gentler approach than bare concrete.

Water and access

A front spigot keeps it quick. If the only tap is in the back yard, the hose run is longer and so is the job.

Sidewalk cleaning in detail

Why Miami sidewalks go green first

The city sidewalk sits in the swale under the street trees, and in Miami that means live oak, ficus, black olive or mahogany. It gets the leaf drop, the shade and the sprinkler overspray from the swale grass, and it stays damp when the sun-facing driveway has dried. Algae wants exactly that. So the sidewalk goes green months before the driveway does, and once it is green it holds water and gets slick. A pre-treatment kills it; the surface cleaner lifts what is left.

Gum, sap and iguana droppings come off by hand

Pressure smears gum and spreads sap. Both get worked loose with the right product and a scraper before the machine goes anywhere near them, then the surface cleaner takes the residue. Iguana droppings are the same as bird droppings: organic, acidic, and easy once they are pre-treated. It is slower than blasting, but it is the difference between a clean slab and a slab with a lighter smear where the gum used to be.

Painted and tiled porches

A lot of older homes have a painted porch slab or a tiled stoop, and both need a lighter touch than the bare sidewalk. Paint lifts under a close wand; tile grout washes out. Those get the pre-treatment, low pressure and a rinse, matched to the surface, so the porch comes out clean without a bald patch in the paint.

FAQ

Before you call

Sidewalk cleaning questions

If yours is not here, call or text 786-985-1684 and ask.

See all four services →How much does it cost? →

Can you clean the public sidewalk in front of my house?

Yes. The strip between your yard and the street is part of the job when you want it. Cracks and root heave stay, the film and the gum go. Text 786-985-1684 with the address and we will include it.

Will it fix the slab the ficus root lifted?

No. Cleaning takes the growth and the stains off the concrete; it does not move or level it. If a slab is a trip hazard, that is a concrete job, and we will say so when we look. Text a photo to 786-985-1684 and we will tell you straight.

Is my sidewalk slick because it is dirty?

Almost always, yes. The green and black film is algae, and it holds water. Once it is killed and lifted, the concrete texture comes back and it stops being a skating rink after rain.

Can you do the sidewalk and the driveway together?

Yes, and that is the usual order: driveway, then the walk, then the public sidewalk, one setup, one rinse, one number. Tell us both when you text 786-985-1684.

Do you clean storefront sidewalks?

Ask. Send the address and a photo to 786-985-1684 and we will tell you whether it is a job we take and what it needs.
