Dont’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
On time, great work. Battery rust stains in the driveway that had been there 20 years and I doubted could be removed, were removed to my amazement. Demetrious and his boss did a fantastic job. Highly recommended, and far less than those overlay products pushed for unsightly driveways.

We recently used AZ Power Wash Pros to clean the tar tire tracks off of the pavers in our driveway after an Amazon Driver decided to back into our driveway. Our main road had recently been paved.
After calling AZ Power Wash Pros, they came out right away and cleaned the driveway. The two gentlemen who did the work, Dimitrio and Carlos called to let us know when they would arrive. They were very nice and polite and did a wonderful job! We would definitely use this company again!
