What Does Pressure Washing Cost?

Most reputable crews price pressure washing by the job, not the hour, and give you a flat quote before they start. Here is what to expect.

Typical ranges

• House soft-wash: about $150-$450 depending on size and stories.
• Driveway & concrete: about $100-$250.
• Roof soft-wash: about $300-$700.
• By the square foot: roughly $0.10-$0.60, by surface — concrete $0.10-$0.25, siding $0.15-$0.30, decks $0.20-$0.45, and roofs $0.20-$0.60 (soft-washed).

Those per-square-foot bands are the surface-by-surface figures we publish and keep updated on Pressure Washing Cost Guide, our dedicated cost reference. Per-square-foot is a sizing tool: a good pro measures the area, applies the rate, then quotes a single flat price.

What drives the price

Size and height (two-story and steep roofs cost more), how much buildup there is, access and obstacles, and the surface type all matter. Coastal salt film and heavy roof algae take more solution and time.

Getting a fair quote

Send a photo for the fastest estimate, and make sure the price is flat and upfront — not hourly. Beware quotes far below the ranges above; they often skip the soft-wash solution that makes results last.
