The most honest answer to this question is: it depends on what you have and how big it is.
That is not a dodge. It is just how exterior cleaning actually works. A quote that gets built without measuring anything is a quote that is going to be wrong, and either the homeowner or the company ends up absorbing that difference. Neither outcome is good.
At Pressure Pros, every quote is built from actual measurements. We do not guess square footage. We do not quote off a photo. We do not use a generic flat rate that ignores the size of your property. This post explains exactly how we price our work, what goes into a quote, and why two neighbors with different driveways or different homes will get different numbers even if they are on the same street.
Why There Is No Universal Price
Most homeowners go looking for a number online before they call anyone. That makes sense. But the ranges you find on sites like Angi or HomeAdvisor, things like “$100 to $500 for a driveway” or “$200 to $600 for a house wash,” cover such a wide band that they are not useful for budgeting a specific property.
The reason those ranges are so wide is because size, surface condition, surface type, and method all pull the number in different directions. A 200 square foot driveway and a 900 square foot driveway are both driveways. Quoting them the same would mean one customer is significantly overpaying and the other is significantly underpaying.
We build every quote the same way: measure what you have, apply the appropriate rate for the surface and service, account for any conditions that affect the job, and deliver a number that reflects your actual property.
How We Measure
The type of surface determines how we measure it, and that drives how the quote gets built.
Flat surfaces are measured in square footage.
Driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and other flat concrete or paver surfaces are measured by length times width. We get the actual dimensions, calculate the square footage, and price from there. A larger surface costs more than a smaller one. That is straightforward.
What can change the rate per square foot on a flat surface is condition. A driveway with heavy oil staining, rubber marks, or significant organic buildup takes more time, more product, and sometimes a different cleaning process than a surface with routine dirt and light algae. If condition is going to affect the price, we tell you before we start, not after.
House washing is measured by linear footage.
When we price a house wash, we are not measuring the interior square footage of the home. We are measuring the perimeter, meaning the linear footage of the exterior walls we are cleaning. A larger home with more wall surface costs more than a smaller one. A two-story home requires additional reach and setup compared to a single-story home of the same footprint.
Linear footage is the correct measurement method for house washing because what we are cleaning is the wall surface, not the floor plan. The perimeter of the home, combined with the wall height and number of stories, tells us how much wall area we are treating.
Fences are measured by linear footage.
Fence cleaning is priced by the linear foot of fencing, meaning the total length of fence to be cleaned. A longer fence line costs more than a shorter one. Material matters too. Wood fences require different treatment than vinyl, and conditions like algae depth or staining affect how the job is approached.
Roofs are measured by square footage.
Roof cleaning is priced based on the square footage of the roof surface area, not the floor plan of the home. Roof pitch, number of stories, and material type all factor in. Roof cleaning at Pressure Pros is always soft wash only. There is no scenario where high-pressure washing is appropriate on a residential roof.
What Affects the Final Number
Measurement gives us the base. These are the things that move it from there.
Surface condition. Light buildup cleans faster and uses less product than heavy mold, deep staining, or significant algae growth. A surface that has gone several years without cleaning takes more work than one on a regular maintenance schedule. That difference gets reflected in the quote.
Surface material. Concrete, stucco, vinyl, brick, pavers, wood, and tile all clean differently. Some require soft washing with low pressure and specific chemistry. Some tolerate higher pressure. The method required for the material affects the time and product cost.
Number of stories. Single-story homes are more straightforward to clean than two-story homes. Additional height means additional setup, additional time, and more careful technique to ensure even coverage without leaving runs or streaks.
Access. Dense landscaping, tight clearances, or areas that require extra positioning time affect how long a job takes. We account for access when we quote.
Scope. A single driveway is one thing. A full exterior clean covering the house, driveway, patio, sidewalks, and fence is a larger job. Bundling multiple surfaces in one visit typically delivers better value per surface than booking each one separately, and the quote reflects that.
We Have a Minimum
Every service call involves real costs regardless of how small the job is. Fuel, labor, time on-site, equipment, insurance, and overhead do not change because the surface to be cleaned is small. We have a minimum that ensures any job we take on is worth doing right.
If you only need a small area cleaned, that minimum may apply. We are upfront about this when you reach out so there are no surprises.
How the Quote Process Works
We do not believe in quoting off assumptions. Here is what the process actually looks like.
You reach out through the site or by phone. We respond same day. For most residential jobs, we can build an accurate quote using the property address and a brief conversation about what you want cleaned. For larger or more complex properties, we will take a look in person to measure accurately and account for any conditions that would affect the scope.
The quote you receive is itemized. It lists what surfaces are being cleaned, what method is being used for each, and the total. No line items appear on the invoice that were not discussed upfront. Our pricing is transparent and we do not add charges after the fact.
What You Are Actually Paying For
The price of a pressure washing job is not just for water on a surface. It covers the right equipment for each surface, the right cleaning chemistry for what is growing or staining, trained technique that protects materials while actually removing buildup, and a team that shows up when scheduled and communicates clearly.
A cheap quote that leaves streaking, etches your concrete, or delivers uneven results is not a good deal. A quote that reflects the actual scope of your property and gets the job done right is.
We back every job with a 30-day workmanship warranty. If anything misses the mark, we return and make it right at no extra cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Pressure Pros price pressure washing jobs in Orlando?
We measure every job before quoting. Flat surfaces like driveways, patios, and pool decks are priced by square footage. House washing is priced by linear footage of the home’s exterior perimeter. Fences are priced by linear footage. Roofs are priced by square footage of the roof surface. Surface condition, material type, number of stories, and job scope all factor into the final number.
Why do pressure washing prices vary so much?
Because no two properties are the same size, condition, or surface type. A company quoting you without measuring is guessing, and that guess is either going to be too high or too low. Accurate pricing requires knowing the actual square footage or linear footage of what needs to be cleaned.
Does Pressure Pros charge more for larger jobs?
Larger surfaces take more time and more product, so yes, larger jobs cost more than smaller ones. The rate per square foot or linear foot can also shift based on scope. A full exterior clean covering multiple surfaces in one visit is typically a better value per surface than individual bookings.
What happens if my driveway or house has heavy staining?
Surface condition is part of how we build the quote. Heavy oil staining, significant algae or mold growth, or surfaces that have not been cleaned in several years take more time and more product. If condition is going to affect your price, we discuss it before the job starts.
Is there a minimum charge for pressure washing?
Yes. Every service visit involves overhead costs regardless of size. We have a minimum that applies to smaller jobs and we communicate that when you reach out so you know what to expect.
