How much does pressure washing cost?

It’s more common to hire different cleaning services for the interior of your home, but you should not neglect its exterior. The exterior of your house also needs TLC once in a while. No one likes to see the dirt and grime buildup on your roof, gutters, and driveway. 

A pressure washing service can easily get rid of that dirt. It can make your home look fresh and new again. Pressure washing houses cost $200 to $2,000, at an average of $300. This guide will walk you through the different prices of pressure washing.

How much does pressure washing cost per state?

Prices for pressure washing also vary per state. Here's a table that gives you an idea of how much pressure washing services cost across the US:

The cost of pressure washing per hour

Some pressure washing technicians will price their services per hour. Pressure washing a house costs $50 to $100 per hour per crew member. When calculated this way, you can pay an average of $300 for a crew of three and have the job done at a quicker pace.

Residential pressure washing prices

Below is a table of the average cost of pressure washing based on the number of stories your house has: 

When hiring a high-pressure cleaning service, you don’t need to have your entire house serviced. You can break it down into different parts, depending on what area of your home needs more attention. 

Driveway

The cost of pressure washing a driveway ranges from $100 to $500, depending on its size and the amount of work to be done. You can expect a lot of work because of the accumulated motor oil your car leaves behind. 

Fences

The exact price of pressure washing your fence depends on its length and material type. It ranges from $150 to $300. For example, you have to pay more if your fences are made from wood because technicians take longer cleaning them. They tend to use less pressure on wooden fences to prevent damage to the material, resulting in longer wash time.

Roof

You can already expect to pay a high price if your roof needs pressure washing. The labor to transport all the materials needed to the roof is a big factor. The cost of pressure washing your roof ranges from $250 to $600. 

Gutters

The cost of pressure washing your gutter ranges from $50 to $300. Gutters are some of the hard-to-reach areas of your home. Not only that, but they're also where dirt builds up quickly, especially during the rainy season. These factors increase the price of pressure washing gutters.

Deck

Deck pressure washing costs $250 to $400, depending on its size and accessibility to the technician. They might need to soak your entire patio in water first to prevent damage, especially if it’s made of concrete. 

Factors affecting the cost of pressure washing

The overall cost of pressure washing the exterior of your house depends on three things: project type, area size, and job complexity. 

1. Project type. The exterior of a house has different parts: the patio, driveway, gutters, siding, etc. The cost of pressure washing depends on the areas requiring cleaning.
2. Area size. Pressure washing services normally charge per square foot. The bigger the space to be cleaned, the higher the cost of pressure washing. Relatively small spaces mean that your technician will spend less time at your home. Hard-to-reach places require time & effort, especially if climbing is involved. 
3. Job complexity. Some parts of the home exterior are easier to clean than others. If the technician will be cleaning harder-to-access areas, you can expect to pay a higher price. It also depends on how much grime and dirt has built up.

Power washing vs. pressure washing

Pressure and power washing both do a good job of cleaning your homes. Both methods use strong streams of high-pressure water to clean dirty surfaces. The question now is, when do you pressure or power wash? 

The cost of power washing a house is a bit higher, ranging from $600 to $1,600. The only difference between power and pressure washing is heat. Power washing is best for cleaning solid concrete, stone walls, driveways, and hard surfaces. Its hot streams blast away dirt, salt, mold, grime, and fungus from outdoor surfaces easily. 

If the buildup of grime and dirt on surfaces is not too bad, you can easily opt for pressure washing. It offers the same kind of cleaning as power washing. However, it takes longer since it just relies on high water pressure to clean surfaces.
