Different types of driveways require different kinds of maintenance, but they all need upkeep to maximize their lifespan. Concrete and asphalt driveways need to be resealed every few years; brick driveways need weed removal, and most driveways need regular powerwashing to remove dirt, sand, oil, and other debris.

Concrete walks and patios provide an easy-to-use, non-slip surface for guests on your property. Concrete needs less maintenace than other materials and is extremely durable, and stamped concrete can boost curb appeal by imitating the appearance of other materials. With a concrete patio you can avoid the frequent staining and sealing that wood decks need, and installation is quick and affordable.

An outdoor deck adds function and value to your home. There are many styles of decks, including attached, wrap-around, detached, multi-tier, and a swimming pool or hot tub deck. Decking can be made of wood, composite materials, or PVC. Deck building can be complex depending on the materials and style, so it's a good idea to hire a professional.

Exterior and interior painting can refresh and protect your home. Exterior painting not only increases curb appeal, but it can also extend the life of siding and help prevent termite, mold, and sun damage. Interior painting is an easy way to personalize your space, add appeal, make your walls cleaner, and hide marks and repaired damage.

Cleaning and washing your home is generally done with power washing. Power washing removes harmful elements like mold and mildew, increases curb appeal, and can reveal any necessary repairs to your siding. While you're cleaning, consider hiring help with yard cleaning and junk removal as well to fully refresh your exterior!

Fencing and gates add privacy and security, show clearly where the property line is, and provide children and pets a safe place to play. Fencing and gates can be made of wood, metal, vinyl, or composite materials. Fencing maintenance includes regular cleaning and repair of any damage, and, for wood fencing, regular restaining and resealing.
