Professional pressure washing is one of the fastest ways to dramatically improve your home's curb appeal -- a driveway, walkway, or exterior that looks dingy from years of buildup comes back dramatically in a few hours. Here's what the work costs.
Pressure washing cost by surface
Prices are typically quoted by square footage or by the job for standard surfaces:
- ✓Driveway (avg. 600 sq ft): $150--$350
- ✓Sidewalk/walkways: $75--$200
- ✓House exterior/siding (avg. home): $250--$600
- ✓Deck or patio (200--500 sq ft): $150--$400
- ✓Fence (per 100 linear ft): $75--$200
- ✓Roof soft wash: $300--$700
- ✓Pool deck: $150--$400
- ✓Driveway + house combo: $350--$700
Pressure washing vs. soft washing
Not all surfaces can handle high-pressure washing. Concrete and brick driveways can handle high pressure. Vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, and roofing materials require soft washing -- lower pressure with a cleaning solution. Using high pressure on the wrong surface causes etching, paint stripping, and damaged mortar. A professional service uses the right method for each surface.
Bottom line
Most exterior pressure washing jobs run $200--$500 for a typical home. The work pays for itself quickly in protected wood surfaces and improved curb appeal.
