From stubborn rust and efflorescence to engine oil and limescale, we provide targeted solutions for every stain.

What Types Of Pavers, Stone And Masonry Do We Restore?

We work with a wide variety of stone and masonry surfaces around residential and commercial properties across the GTA. Here’s a breakdown of what we handle:

Pavers

Driveways, walkways, and patios. We remove weeds, staining, and efflorescence.

Natural Stone

Limestone, granite, slate, and more. Gentle yet thorough cleaning that preserves the stone’s natural texture.

Flagstone & Copings

Irregular surfaces need careful attention. We remove moss, algae, and deep-set staining without damaging the material.

Brick Surfaces

Walkways, steps, and retaining structures. We restore colour and remove mildew, algae, and mortar staining.

Aerial Work

For facades, and surfaces beyond reach, we deploy boom lifts and telescopic equipment to clean at height – safely, efficiently, and without scaffolding delays.

How Do You Know Your Stone Needs Attention?

Mineral deposits on black granite steps

Sometimes it’s obvious, and sometimes it creeps up on you. Here are the most common signs we see when we visit properties for the first time:

• Visible green or black algae, moss, or mildew
• Efflorescence – deposits are white soft, powdery
• Limescale, mineral deposits are hard, dense, and crusty
• Staining from oil, rust, leaves, or general outdoor grime that regular hosing won’t shift
• Slippery surfaces, especially dangerous on steps or walkways where algae has built up

We don’t just point a pressure washer at a surface and call it done. Every stone restoration job gets assessed first, and we tailor our approach to the material and what it needs. Here’s how a typical job goes:

1. On-Site Assessment

   We walk the property with you, identify the surfaces that need work, and note any areas requiring extra care (loose stones, damaged mortar, deep staining, etc.).

2. Site & Property Protection

   Before any water or chemicals are introduced to the site, a rigorous protection protocol must be executed to safeguard the property’s value and the surrounding environment (this includes: Organic saturation, surface masking & shielding, environmental runoff management)

3. Controlled and Temperature Pressure Washing

   We adjust pressure levels based on the stone type. Softer materials like flagstone and natural limestone need a gentler touch than concrete pavers,and we know the difference.

4. Deep Treatment

   Joints, edges, and hard-to-reach spots get individual attention to ensure the whole surface looks consistent when we’re done.

5. Finishing & Optional Sealing

   We can discuss sealing options with you post-clean, which helps protect the surface and keep it looking better for longer.
