Patio Cleaners Near Me

A clean and well-maintained patio is not only important to prolong its lifespan but can enhance your outdoor space aesthetically. This can be helpful whether you want to improve your outdoor spaces for your own sake or to add curb appeal for potential future buyers.

When you need your patio cleaned, it’s vital that you find a reliable patio cleaner in your area. In the following guide, we’ll explore the steps involved in finding and hiring a patio cleaner so you can maintain an outdoor oasis that is kept in perfect condition.

Let’s begin!

Define Your Patio Cleaning Needs

To start with, you’ll need to assess your patio cleaning needs. Here, you’ll want to focus on the type of surface you have (e.g. stone, wood, pavers, concrete, etc.) as well as identifying specific issues (e.g. moss, algae, mould, stains, dirt, or general wear and tear).

Knowing as much as possible about your patio and the cleaning requirements in question can make it easier and smoother to get things up and running with the patio cleaning work. However, if in any doubt, you’ll want to verify with a professional.

Utilise Online MyJobQuote Directories

You’ll be glad to know that MyJobQuote has a few ways for you to find reliable patio cleaners near you.

For one, we have the MyJobQuote handyman online directory. Here, you can find profiles of various cleaners. By evaluating their profiles, you can check their reviews, ratings and photos showcasing previous patio cleaning projects (where applicable).

With this sort of information and more (more on that lately), you can make an informed decision when narrowing down your options to one patio cleaner.

Verify Credentials

Next, it’s important to ensure that the patio cleaner(s) you’re considering are not only experienced and well-equipped but also insured.

Insurance will protect both you and the service provider should any damage or accidents occur during the cleaning process.

Beyond that, you’ll also want to request references from previous clients. This can help you gauge the level of professionalism and quality of work of the patio cleaners you’re considering. As with information you can find on a professional’s profile on MyJobQuote, references can help you make a more informed choice.

Request Multiple Quotes

While you can use our online local house cleaner directory to find patio cleaners near you, you could instead try our online quote form.

The MyJobQuote quote form can allow you to submit an application (with an inclusion of a description of the job you need to do) before receiving quotes from several patio cleaners in your area.

To do so, take the following steps:

• Click on ‘Cleaners’

Ultimately, you’ll want to make contact with several patio cleaners to request detailed quotes for your specific cleaning project.

Once you’ve received your quotes, you’ll want to compare the pricing, patio cleaning services offered and any discounts or special promotions (if available) from each of the contractors/companies.

What Can a Patio Cleaner Do?

There are many jobs that patio cleaners/patio cleaning companies may offer, including:*

• Scrubbing
• Pressure washing
• Surface restoration
• Sealing and coating
• Application of a sealant

*These are just some examples of the tasks a patio cleaner may offer. Certain patio cleaners may offer some of the tasks listed, while others may provide all. Beyond that, some patio cleaners may be able to do some or all of the jobs listed above and others not listed.

Seek Recommendations

Along with using one of the MyJobQuote tools for finding local patio cleaners, you may also want to ask your friends, family, neighbours or even work colleagues for recommendations.

The main advantage of personal referrals is that they often lead to trustworthy professionals.

Discuss Cleaning Methods

The next step is to talk with the patio cleaners you’re considering hiring about their cleaning methods. That is to say; you should inquire about the methods and equipment they use and ensure what they offer works for your specific patio cleaning job and needs.

The sort of methods/equipment you may need to inquire about could include soft washing, pressure washing, chemical treatments and manual scrubbing.

Further, you should ask them about their experience with different patio surfaces (and yours specifically) as well as any specialised cleaning techniques that may be relevant to your proposed patio cleaning job.

Confirm Availability and Timeline

Next, you’ll need to make sure that the patio cleaner’s schedule aligns with your project timeline, especially if you have events or gatherings in your outdoor space planned. Take this chance to ask for an estimated duration for the cleaning process, too.

With all that said, you should still keep in mind that not all patio cleaning projects go according to schedule, and delays can occur (e.g. due to stormy weather).

At this point, you should determine who your number one preference is and move on to hire that individual/company.

If you find that your main preference cannot meet your schedule preferences, you’ll want to move on to your second and third preferences to check their availability and timelines.

Clarify Service Terms

Once you’ve decided who you’d like to hire, it’s time to request a written service agreement that outlines the pricing, scope of work, payment terms and any applicable guarantees or warranties.

Also, make sure that all your expectations are clearly documented in the contract, along with any special requests you might have.

Monitor the Cleaning Progress

You may want to stage-engaged during the patio cleaning process. This could mean periodically checking the cleaner’s progress or/and having any questions or concerns you might have addressed.

With that said, it’s best to ask questions and raise concerns before work begins or during breaks (where possible) to avoid distracting the cleaners while they are at work. The obvious exception is if it’s urgent.

A patio that is cleaned often and preserved over time can make for a welcoming and functional outdoor space to relax and invite guests, such as on summer evenings.

By following the steps discussed in this guide and conducting plenty of research, you can find the right patio cleaner near you to benefit from an effective and professional patio clean.

A well-maintained patio can mean sustaining your outdoor space, allowing it to complement your home well.
