## What affects Pressure Washing cost

- **Surface type:** Concrete is the cheapest surface at $0.20 per sq ft. House siding is $0.25 per sq ft. A deck or patio is $0.30 per sq ft. A roof soft wash is $0.35 per sq ft, because a roof needs low pressure and a cleaning solution rather than a hard blast.
- **Project size:** For a house, enter exterior wall area, not the indoor floor area. A one-story house is often about 1,200 sq ft of wall. A two-story house is often 2,000 to 3,500 sq ft of wall. A driveway is often 400 to 800 sq ft, and a deck is often a few hundred square feet.
- **How dirty the surface is:** Light dirt is the baseline. Mold, algae, or oil needs a longer wash and adds $0.10 per sq ft. On a 2,000 sq ft house that is an extra $200, so the midpoint moves from $500 to $700.
- **Minimum charge:** Small jobs start at a $150 minimum. A fence is not a separate option here. One side of a fence is often $100 to $200. Some companies bill by the hour, about $50 to $160, instead of by the square foot.
