You say pressure wash. I say power wash. They mean the same thing. Power washing the dirt and mold from your building can make it look beautiful again and bring the luster back into the exterior surface. Dust, dirt, and mold slowly build up over time. It takes a few years to get to a point where you may need to take action with a good pressure washing. Once you do, you will be happy you did. For the money it costs to get it done it is well worth it.
Pressure Washing Costs
The cost to power wash the average size home is $250 to $500. This is for an average sized 2,000 to 4,000 square foot home. Where you fall on that scale will depend on your geographic location and the layout of your home. If your home requires the power washing company to use 40 foot ladders it will cost a little more. If the entire surface can be reached from the ground or close to it then the job becomes “easier” and, therefore, will cost less.

Things to Consider
- You will need an outside faucet for the power washing service to connect their water line to the equipment.
- Mold-If mold is an issue you may want to ask your pressure washing company if they intend to spray on part bleach/ part water solution to kill the mold. This is necessary in some cases where mold is an issue. If you do not kill the mold with a harsh chemical such as bleach it will grow back. Mold is alive and it thrives on moisture so water alone will not kill it.
Is a light power washing going to fix the appearance of your property or is it going to open up a “can of worms”? That is to say, is power washing going to be the end of the project or is that going to be a prelude to painting or staining the building? Maybe what your home, business, or deck needs to be painted or sealed. If this is the case power washing will just be the first step. If you are hiring a painting company to power wash before painting then the largest job and cost will be to paint or stain the building. That will cost thousands but the good news is, at that point, you will probably get a discount on the price of the pressure washing service.
