Power Wash Cost (vinyl, washer, windows, square feet)

[jego914]

Hi- Just curious, what is the price range to have someone power wash a 1,500 sq foot house, stairs, and driveway? I know prices vary, just want to make sure if I am not overpaying (at least, not by too much)! Thanks

Brick, lap board, vinyl, stucco? One story, two story? Windows also?

Wood or concrete stairs?

Your water? Or does the contractor bring his own?

Deck or patio?

See- a little more too it than "1500sq/ft".

Also, pressure washing a house is brutal on it. Better to use a house wash and lower pressure alternative. You'll save money in the long run.

Two story, Vinyl, concrete stairs (a lot of stairs, about 15 ft) and a small concrete patio (6x8). Yes, windows, too. My water.


Will look into a low pressure washer. Any recommendations? Trying to prep house for sale.

Thanks!

Where? Power wash in NY will cost more than power wash in, say, Conway Arkansas.
Call around and get few estimates.

I used a bottle of Armour All housewash - comes in a green bottle w a sprayer that connects to the garden hose. Less than $5 and green moss on vinyl siding was gone like magic.

It's called a garden hose.

As you may have noted from some of the responses - prices vary, but since you asked a question and haven't gotten an answer - we paid about $300 - 2 story house, vinyl, 3200 square feet with a 3 car garage and a 16x24 deck. Well worth the $300. I own a power washer and use it for smaller projects, but IMHO its worth it to hire a pro when you have a large home and/or it's 2 stories.

It's just a one day job. Figure out what a person's labor is worth for one day. I think $250 to $300 would be in the ballpark.

I have my own pressure washer. It's not an especially difficult job, but it does get tiresome wrestling that wand. But with a vinyl home, pressure washing is a necessity every couple of years.

$300 in CT- that was a steal!
