What power washing and concrete services does Viking offer?
Viking Power Washing offers a complete range of exterior cleaning and concrete services throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Our power washing services cover patio and deck washing, driveway washing, sidewalk washing, and commercial property washing — from residential back patios to large retail parking lots. On the concrete side, we perform crack and joint repair using professional-grade fillers that stop moisture infiltration, concrete patching and resurfacing for spalled or deteriorated areas, and concrete sealing with commercial-strength sealants that protect against Cincinnati's freeze-thaw cycles, UV damage, and salt. One of our key advantages is completing everything in a single visit — wash, repair, and seal — so you're not juggling multiple contractors. Every job comes with a free estimate and a satisfaction guarantee.
How much does power washing cost in Cincinnati?
Pricing depends on surface type, square footage, contamination level, and whether concrete repair or sealing is needed. As a general guide: driveway washing runs $100–$300; patio or deck washing $100–$250; full house exterior washing $200–$500; commercial properties are quoted per square footage after a site visit. Add-on services like crack filling, patching, or sealing are priced separately but often discounted when bundled with a wash. Factors that raise cost include heavy oil or rust staining, large areas, mold-covered surfaces requiring hot-water treatment, or multi-story heights. Every estimate from Viking is completely free, written, and comes with no pressure or obligation. To get your number, call or text 513-995-1800 or fill out the quote form on our Contact page.

Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — Viking Power Washing is fully licensed and insured for both residential and commercial work in Ohio and Kentucky. We carry general liability insurance and maintain all required local business licenses, so you're protected if anything were to go wrong on your property. This matters more than most people realize: unlicensed or uninsured pressure washing companies can leave homeowners liable for property damage or injuries that occur on-site. When you hire Viking, you're hiring a properly credentialed business that follows safety protocols on every project. Owner Chris Sulzer is personally involved in every job and brings over 10 years of hands-on experience across the Tri-State. We're happy to provide proof of insurance before any work begins — just ask when you call.

How often should I power wash my home in Cincinnati?
Most Cincinnati homeowners benefit from annual power washing, typically in spring after winter road salts and freeze-thaw damage have accumulated. Homes under mature trees, in shaded lots, or with north-facing siding may need cleaning twice per year due to faster mold and algae growth. Commercial properties often schedule quarterly. Viking provides free assessments to determine what's right for your specific surfaces.
What is the best time of year for power washing in Ohio?
Spring — typically April through May — is the optimal window for power washing in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. It follows the winter season that deposits road salt, sand, and freeze-thaw debris on every exterior surface. Fall is the second-best window, particularly before painting, staining, or sealing concrete. We work year-round, but water temperatures above freezing are required for safe and effective hot-water power washing.
Can power washing damage concrete?
Power washing can damage concrete if done incorrectly — specifically, if excessive PSI is applied at too close a range, if the wrong nozzle angle is used on aged or already-spalled surfaces, or if the operator holds the wand in one spot too long. Viking Power Washing uses calibrated commercial equipment (3,000–4,000+ PSI) paired with professional technique — correct nozzle distance, consistent sweeping motion, and appropriate hot-water temperature. We assess every surface before touching it. In 10+ years serving Cincinnati, we haven't had a single case of surface damage from our cleaning process.
Do I need to be home when you power wash my property?
No — you don't need to be home. We need access to an outdoor water spigot and, if washing a fenced area, access to open the gate. For the initial estimate we prefer you're present so we can walk the property together. On the service day, most customers simply leave a note about gate access and water location. We'll complete the job and contact you when it's done. If anything unexpected comes up — a discovered crack, additional staining that wasn't visible at estimate — we'll call before proceeding.
How long does it take to power wash a driveway in Cincinnati?
A standard residential driveway in Cincinnati takes 1–3 hours depending on size (number of cars wide), surface type, and level of staining. A single-car driveway with normal dirt and mild mold is closer to 1 hour. A two-car wide driveway with heavy oil staining or long-term neglect can take 2–3 hours. If sealing is added after cleaning, plan for an additional 1–2 hours plus drying time. We provide time estimates with every free quote.
