Restore Your Masonry
Safely restore the natural beauty of brick, stone, and masonry surfaces. Our specialized cleaning removes stains, efflorescence, and biological growth without surface damage.
Expert Brick & Stone Cleaning in the Pacific Northwest
Brick and stone surfaces add character and value to Pacific Northwest homes — but our wet climate creates unique challenges. Moss colonizes mortar joints, algae stains porous stone, efflorescence bleaches brick faces, and general grime accumulates on every surface. Our specialized cleaning restores the natural beauty of your masonry without damaging the material.
Improperly cleaned brick can cause lasting damage — using the wrong pressure or chemicals on masonry strips mortar, pits brick faces, and permanently damages surfaces. This is not a DIY job; it's one where professional assessment matters more than horsepower.
How We Clean Masonry Safely
Every masonry surface is different — porosity, mortar condition, and stone type all change the approach. We assess before we clean.
Condition & Porosity Assessment
We evaluate the brick or stone type, porosity, and mortar condition. Old, soft, or damaged mortar requires special care — we identify and address it before any water touches the surface.
Targeted Pre-Treatment
Efflorescence, rust, oil, and biological staining each need different chemistry. We apply the right specialized cleaner — including acidic treatments for efflorescence — matched to your surface.
Calibrated Cleaning
We clean at pressure settings appropriate to the material, protecting mortar joints and brick faces while removing embedded growth and staining.
Rinse & Inspection
A thorough rinse and final inspection confirm the masonry is clean, undamaged, and restored to its natural color and texture.
Surfaces We Clean
From chimneys to retaining walls, we clean every kind of brick and stone surface:
Brick Exteriors & Chimneys
Brick home exteriors, chimneys, and fireplace surrounds cleaned safely, including exterior chimney masonry.
Natural Stone
Bluestone, flagstone, slate, granite, limestone, and sandstone — each cleaned with the right pressure and chemistry.
Walkways, Patios & Steps
Stone walkways, patios, and steps restored, removing traffic soiling and biological growth.
Retaining Walls & Borders
Stone retaining walls, garden borders, concrete block, and CMU walls cleaned and refreshed.
Brick & Stone Driveways
Masonry driveways cleaned of oil, moss, and grime without stripping mortar or pitting the surface.
Mortar Joints & Grout
Mortar joints and grout lines cleaned of moss and algae that take hold in shaded, damp seams.
Common Brick & Stone Problems We Solve
Moss & Algae Growth
Especially in mortar joints and shaded areas where damp masonry becomes a growth surface.
Efflorescence
White mineral deposits that cloud brick faces — dissolved with specialized cleaners, not brute force.
Oil & Grease Stains
Driveway and parking-area staining lifted with targeted degreasing and multi-pass cleaning.
Rust Stains
From metal fixtures, irrigation systems, and natural minerals — treated with the right chemistry.
Paint Overspray & Graffiti
Removed with appropriate stripping techniques that protect the masonry underneath.
General Grime & Traffic Soiling
Walkways and entry areas restored to their natural color and texture.
Brick & Stone Cleaning Pricing
Masonry cleaning pricing depends on surface type, area, and the specific staining involved — efflorescence and rust removal, for example, require specialty treatment. Every quote is transparent and itemized.
Surface Type & Area
Brick, natural stone, and block each clean differently. We measure the area and match the method for an accurate quote.
Staining & Treatment
Efflorescence, rust, oil, and graffiti need specialized chemistry and extra passes, accounted for upfront.
Service Combinations
Pairing masonry cleaning with concrete or paver work on the same visit lowers your overall cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will power washing damage my brick?
When done by professionals with appropriate pressure settings, brick washing is completely safe. We assess the condition and porosity of your brick before selecting the right pressure and cleaning solution. Old, soft, or damaged mortar requires special care — we identify and address this before cleaning.
Can you remove white staining (efflorescence) from brick?
Yes — efflorescence (the white mineral deposits that appear on masonry) is one of the most common issues we treat. We use specialized acidic cleaners that dissolve efflorescence without damaging the brick surface or mortar joints.
Do you clean natural stone like bluestone or flagstone?
Absolutely. We clean all natural stone surfaces including bluestone, flagstone, slate, granite, limestone, and sandstone. Each stone type requires different pressure settings and cleaning chemistry — our technicians assess each surface individually.
Can you clean a brick fireplace or chimney exterior?
Yes — exterior brick chimney cleaning is part of our brick washing service. We clean the exterior masonry safely using appropriate techniques for the surface condition and accessibility.
