Pressure Washing, a place that looks cared for

It usually starts with a driveway two shades darker than you remember. The hard part is not the work — it is that every pressure washing company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Pressure Washing in short

Pressure washing services cover house exteriors, driveways and walkways, decks, patios, fences and gutters. Fixr's 2026 data puts house washing at $0.30 to $0.80 per square foot with a $500 to $900 typical total, driveways at $0.30 to $0.40 per square foot, and decks and fences at $0.30 to $0.40 per square foot. On many of these surfaces the correct method is soft washing — low pressure plus a cleaning solution — not high pressure, and a good company will tell you that before you ask.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the pressure washing companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first pressure washing review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.

FAQ

Pressure Washing questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about pressure washing.

Per Fixr: a house averages $700 within a $500 to $900 typical range at $0.30 to $0.80 per square foot; a 600 square foot driveway averages $225; a deck averages $145; a fence averages $180. Hourly rates run $50 to $150 with most house jobs at two to four hours.
Asphalt shingle roofs above all — ARMA says never, because it causes granule loss and very likely premature failure. Fixr adds that most roofing materials should never be pressure washed. Also avoid high pressure on wood (over 2,000 PSI is excessive per Today's Homeowner), on soft stone and some brick, and never aim the stream upward under siding.
Annually is the common baseline, adjusted for conditions. Fixr specifically recommends at least yearly for driveways and annual spring washing for decks. Shaded, damp elevations may need it every year; sunny, open walls can go longer.
Usually. Fixr prices house soft washing at $0.25 to $0.35 per square foot or about $375 to $525, against $0.30 to $0.80 per square foot for pressure washing. It's the gentler method and often the cheaper one.
They give a different method and pressure for each surface, they let cleaning solution dwell rather than relying on force, they refuse to pressure wash your roof, they protect plants as ARMA advises, and their insurer will send you a certificate directly.

The wrong pressure washing hire costs more than the right one.

Too much pressure etches concrete, strips paint and forces water behind siding. The damage shows up after the crew has left. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
