How much does it cost to power wash a house?
What goes into the price of a house wash in the Cleveland area, and why a soft wash is the one worth paying for.
What sets the price on your home
Most people search for the cost to power wash a house. What you actually want on siding is a soft wash, which costs about the same and lasts years longer, because it kills the algae instead of blasting off the top layer. Here is what moves the price.
What changes the price
- 01
Size and height
Square footage and number of stories drive most of the price. Tall gables and walkouts take longer to reach safely.
- 02
Siding type
Vinyl, aluminum, painted wood, brick and stucco each take a different mix and approach.
- 03
How much growth
A light film of pollen rinses off quickly. Heavy green algae on a shaded side needs more solution and dwell time.
- 04
Extras
Gutter face brightening, rust, and oxidized aluminum siding are quoted separately because they need dedicated cleaners.
- 05
Landscaping and access
Dense beds against the house take more prep and rinsing, and tight lots take more care.
How to pay less
- Bundle window cleaning onto the same visit, which is the most common combo we do.
- Wash every two to three years so the growth never gets heavy.
- Add the driveway or walks on the same day instead of booking separately.
Red flags in a cheap quote
- Anyone planning to use high pressure on vinyl siding.
- No mention of protecting the landscaping.
- A quote by the hour rather than by the house.
- No insurance.

Pricing questions
01Is soft washing more expensive than power washing?
Not usually. The cost is similar, and a soft wash lasts two to three years versus about a season for a pressure washed house.
02Do you price by square foot?
Square footage is the starting point, then siding type, height and condition. You get one number for the whole house.
03Can I get the gutters and windows done at the same time?
Yes, and it is cheaper than three separate visits.
