Stain Removal & Floor Cleaning for Homeowners & HOAs

Maddox removes the stains that regular cleaning has not removed from the hard surfaces of homes and HOA common areas across Greater Houston: rust rings and oil on driveways, hydraulic fluid from a truck or a dumpster, scale and staining on pool decks, and grime on garage floors. Work is quoted from a photo, tested on a patch first, and documented with photos. Routine house cleaning is not offered.

Overview

A driveway shared by several homes or a pool deck is the most visible surface on the property, and a stain from a dumpster, a delivery truck, a leaking car, or a contractor’s equipment stays until it is treated with the right chemistry. Maddox works for the homeowner or the association directly, or for the contractor responsible for the stain, and quotes from a photo before the first visit.

Conditions

Common floor conditions

Rust rings and streaks

Dumpsters, planters, patio furniture, and irrigation water leave rust on concrete and pavers. A rust remover made for the surface dissolves it, and the area is rinsed to match.

Oil, hydraulic fluid, and grease

Leaking vehicles, delivery trucks, and equipment stain porous driveways. The stain is treated with a degreaser, machine-scrubbed, and rinsed with the water recovered, and what soaked in is drawn back out.

Pool decks and coping

Calcium scale, tannin, and organic staining on concrete and stone pool surrounds are identified first, because stone is treated with pH-neutral products only.

Garage floors

Bare and epoxy-coated garage slabs are degreased and machine-scrubbed, and tire marks are treated at the turns.

Natural stone and pavers

Limestone, travertine, marble, and clay pavers are etched by acid-based cleaners, so stains on those surfaces are quoted after a test patch.

Shared surfaces

Common drives shared by several homes are treated as one surface and rinsed evenly so the result is uniform, with the association or the responsible party invoiced.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you clean houses?
No. Maddox does not offer house cleaning, maid service, or carpet cleaning. The work at a home is the hard surfaces outside and in the garage: driveways, pool decks, patios, and garage floors, plus new floors after a remodel.
Can a stain be removed from a stamped or colored driveway?
Usually, with products rated for sealed and colored concrete and a test patch first. Acids and high pressure are what damage stamped concrete, and neither is used.
Will the cleaned spot stand out from the rest of the driveway?
Not when the whole driveway is rinsed evenly after the stain is treated. The quote says whether a full-driveway clean is included, and on a shared driveway the entire surface is treated as one.
Who pays when a contractor or a delivery truck caused the stain?
Usually the contractor or the hauler, or their insurer. Maddox can invoice the responsible party directly and provides the before-and-after photos the claim needs.
Do you work with HOA boards and management companies?
Yes. Common drives, pool decks, and amenity areas are quoted for the association, scheduled with the manager, and documented for the board.
