One of the first questions every Houston homeowner asks is simple: how much does pressure washing cost? The honest answer is "it depends" — but that's not very helpful, so below are the real 2026 ranges we see across the Houston area, plus exactly what moves the price.
These are starting ranges. You can see our full breakdown on the pricing page.
The biggest factor is simple square footage. A small one-car driveway costs far less than a long circular drive, and a single-story ranch washes faster than a two-story home.
A surface cleaned every year just needs maintenance. One that hasn't been touched in five years — with thick algae, oil stains, or heavy mildew — takes more time, product, and sometimes hot water to restore.
Plain concrete is straightforward. Pavers, natural stone, wood, and delicate siding require slower, gentler techniques (and more skill), which can affect cost. This is also why house washing uses soft washing, not high pressure.
Second stories, steep roofs, and hard-to-reach areas take longer and require more equipment.
It's tempting to pick the lowest bid, but pressure washing done wrong is expensive. Too much pressure etches concrete, strips roof granules (voiding your warranty), and splinters wood. A pro who uses the right pressure and method the first time protects surfaces that cost thousands to replace.
