What drives the price
- Total area to be cleaned, measured in square feet
- Surface material — concrete, pavers, wood, and composite each take different pressure
- Type of staining: oil spots, rust, mold, algae, or ground-in dirt
- Detergent or degreaser pre-treatment for oil and tire marks on concrete
- Use of a surface-cleaner attachment for even results across large flat areas
- Access to an outdoor spigot and working room around vehicles and furniture
Common questions
How much does pressure washing cost?
Typical US cost for pressure washing is $190 to $420 USD, based on published market research. Your exact price depends on project size, scope and materials.
How can I get an exact pressure washing quote?
Use the HomeTarget cost calculator for a range based on your project size, then request quotes — local pros price the actual job, and requesting quotes is free for homeowners.
Which surfaces should not be pressure washed?
Delicate ones — roof shingles, some siding, window screens, and aged mortar joints can all be damaged by high pressure and are usually soft washed instead. A careful operator matches pressure and nozzle to the surface and will say so if part of the job should be handled differently.
Do I need to be home for a pressure washing visit?
Generally no, as long as the crew can reach the areas and an outdoor spigot. Move vehicles, mats, and potted plants off the surfaces beforehand, keep pets and children inside during the work, and close windows near the wash area.
