Four Things Decide Your Price
There's no mystery to this, and any company that treats it as proprietary is hoping you won't compare quotes.
- Square footage — wall surface for washing, flat area for concrete, linear feet for gutters and lighting
- Stories and access — height needs different equipment; tight side yards and steep grades slow a crew down
- Condition — established lichen and deep-set algae need longer dwell times and sometimes a second pass
- Surface material — stamped concrete, soft historic brick, and composite decking each need specific handling

Why do most power washing companies hide their prices?
Because vague pricing lets them quote high after they've got you on the phone. We publish ranges because we'd rather you self-select: if our numbers work for you, the conversation goes fast, and if they don't, neither of us wasted an afternoon. Our written estimate is fixed and line-itemed — the number you approve is the number you pay.
What makes one house wash cost more than another?
Four things, in order of impact: square footage of wall surface, number of stories, how much organic growth has established (heavy lichen and deep-set algae need longer dwell times and sometimes a second application), and access — steep grades, tight side yards, and delicate landscaping all slow a crew down. Two identical floor plans can differ by a hundred dollars purely on condition.
Do you charge extra for two-story or three-story homes?
Height is factored into the quote up front, not sprung on you afterward. Second stories need extension equipment and more setup; third stories need more again. It's part of the square-footage math, and you'll see it reflected in the line item rather than as a surprise "difficulty fee."
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes — our residential minimum is generally around $149. Below that, the cost of getting a truck, a crew, and equipment to your property exceeds what the job is worth to either of us. If you have something small, bundle it with another service and the trip pays for itself.
Do you offer discounts for multiple services?
Automatically. One mobilization covering house wash, driveway, and gutters costs us far less than three separate visits, and that saving goes into the quote. The calculator above already applies multi-service pricing as you add services — you'll see the range tighten relative to booking each one separately.
How does payment work?
Payment is due when the work is finished and you've seen the results — not before. We accept cash, check, and card. Commercial accounts run Net 30. There's no deposit required for standard residential work.
