How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Houston?
It's the first question almost every customer asks, and it's a fair one. The honest answer is that the price depends on your property. A small patio and a two-story stucco home are very different jobs. Below we explain exactly what goes into a pressure washing price in Houston, so you know what you're paying for and can compare quotes fairly.
What Affects the Price of Pressure Washing
Every quote we write is built from the same handful of things:
- Size of the area. Driveways, sidewalks and patios are priced by square footage. House washing is priced by the length of the walls and the number of stories.
- Height. A two-story or three-story home takes more time, more equipment and more safety work than a one-story home.
- Surface type. Concrete can handle higher pressure. Stucco, painted siding, wood and roofs need low-pressure soft washing and the right cleaning solution, which takes more care.
- How dirty it is. A driveway cleaned every year is quicker than one with five years of black mildew, oil spots or rust.
- Extras. Sealing, window cleaning, gutter brightening and stain removal are added as separate line items so you only pay for what you want.
- Access. Tight side yards, no water hookup or high areas that need lifts or rope access can change the price. Our self-contained water tank means no hookup is never a deal-breaker.
House Washing Cost
We price house washing by measuring the length of your home's walls and its height. Most Houston homes are soft washed, which uses low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills algae and mildew at the root. That protects your paint, stucco and window seals, and it keeps your home clean much longer than plain water. Our soft wash house cleaning comes with a 12-month algae warranty.
Driveway and Concrete Cleaning Cost
Driveways, sidewalks and patios are priced by square footage. Heavy oil stains, rust or old sealer that needs stripping add time. If you want your concrete or pavers to stay clean longer, we can seal them after cleaning. Our sealing comes with up to a 5-year no-algae guarantee.
Roof Cleaning Cost
Roof cleaning is priced by the size and steepness of the roof and the roofing material. We never pressure wash a roof. We soft wash shingle, tile and metal roofs to remove black streaks and algae without damaging them. For most Houston homes, a roof cleaning every 2 to 3 years keeps algae under control.
Commercial Pressure Washing Cost
Commercial jobs like storefronts, parking lots, apartment complexes and high-rise buildings are quoted after a site visit. We can set up monthly, quarterly or yearly service plans to keep your property looking its best at a steady cost.
Why the Cheapest Quote Can Cost You More
Using too much pressure on the wrong surface can etch concrete, strip paint, crack roof tiles or force water behind siding. A quote that seems low may leave out the cleaning solution that actually kills algae, which means the green comes right back. Ask every company you call what method they'll use on each surface and whether they're insured. KT Power Washing & Sealing is fully licensed and insured, including workers' compensation.
