Hi, Could anyone tell me what would be considered "regular" maintenance for pressure washing concrete to be able to use the higher SRI value for the concrete? Is there a suggested amount of times per year to pressure wash the concrete?

Laura, I don't think there is an official statement for regular maintenance. The SRI is based off if the color of the concrete not on the maintenance.
