Senior Cleaning Guides Editor
Marcus Reyes spent over a decade in residential exterior cleaning and concrete surface care before moving into editorial work. He came up running pressure-washing and soft-wash crews across the Gulf Coast, where he handled everything from algae-covered patios to set-in oil stains and sealing jobs in high-humidity conditions. He now writes and edits Concrete Patio Cleaning's how-to library, translating field experience into plain-language guidance homeowners can actually use. Marcus focuses on what works, what damages a surface, and when a job is genuinely worth hiring out — drawing on the hands-on trade-offs he learned on the job rather than theory.
Background: 10+ years hands-on residential pressure-washing, soft-wash, and concrete sealing.
