Pressure washing

Done with aloha

Hawaiʻi’s salt air, humidity, and constant sun cause dirt, algae, and mildew to build up quickly. When left untreated, that buildup can stain surfaces, make walkways slippery, damage exterior materials, and lead to more expensive repairs over time. Big Wave uses professional pressure washing tailored to concrete, pavers, siding, and other surfaces to safely remove buildup before it becomes a bigger problem. Protect your property and schedule your cleaning today.

Driveways

Oʻahu driveways collect oil stains, tire marks, and algae faster than most mainland climates due to constant humidity and rain. We use high-pressure washing paired with a degreasing solution to lift embedded stains and restore concrete, asphalt, or paver driveways to a like-new finish.

The house has green and beige siding, and there are trees and a mountain in the background. The left side shows moss and algae on the ground and wall, the right side shows a cleaner area with a gravel pathway.

Walkways

Walkways are constantly exposed to foot traffic, dirt, and shaded moisture, which makes them one of the fastest surfaces to grow slippery algae and mildew. Our pressure washing service removes buildup safely, improving both curb appeal and safety around your home or business.

Pool Decks

Pool decks face near-constant water exposure, sunscreen residue, and algae growth, especially in Hawaii's humid climate. We use a controlled pressure wash to clean pavers, concrete, and stone pool decks without damaging the surface or the sealant underneath.

The left image depicts a wet, dirty, and stained concrete area with visible dirt, stains, and debris, while the right image shows a clean, dry, and freshly cleaned concrete area with a smooth appearance and no visible stains or debris.

Patios

Patios accumulate dirt, algae, and organic staining quickly when shaded by trees or covered structures, common in many Oʻahu backyards. Our pressure washing process restores concrete, tile, and stone patios, removing built-up grime while protecting the surface material underneath.

Questions before you book

How often should you pressure wash a driveway or walkway in Hawaii?

1

Most concrete and paver surfaces on Oʻahu benefit from pressure washing once or twice a year. Homes in shaded areas or near the coast often need more frequent cleaning due to faster algae and mildew growth from humidity and salt air.


What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

2

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean hard, durable surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and pavers. Soft washing uses lower pressure with a cleaning solution and is better suited for delicate surfaces like siding, stucco, and roofs. We offer both, depending on what your project needs.


Do you remove oil stains and tire marks from driveways?

3

Yes. We use a degreasing solution alongside pressure washing to break down oil stains and tire marks that plain water alone can't lift.


How much does pressure washing cost on Oʻahu?

4

Cost depends on the size of the area, the surface material, and how much buildup needs to be removed. Big Wave provides a free on-site estimate so you get an accurate price based on your specific property.
