If you’ve started searching for pressure washing in Austin, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating — most companies won’t tell you a price until they’ve sent a salesperson to your driveway. We do this differently. This guide breaks down our 2026 pricing for every exterior cleaning service we offer, what affects pricing, and how to lock in a written quote within 24 hours.
We’re a locally-owned business serving Austin proper and the surrounding metro — Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Buda, Kyle, and the rest. We specialize in soft wash, the low-pressure cleaning method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association for roofs, by paint manufacturers for siding, and by anyone who’s seen what high-pressure does to limestone, stucco, or sealed deck wood.
Here’s exactly what things cost in 2026.
| Service | Starting Price | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| House washing (single story) | $199 | $199–$449 |
| Driveway and walkway cleaning | $99 | $99–$299 |
| Roof cleaning (soft wash) | $375 | $375–$750 |
| Gutter cleaning | $99 | $99–$249 |
| Window cleaning (exterior) | $149 | $149–$349 |
| Deck and patio cleaning | $149 | $149–$399 |
| Fence and siding cleaning | $199 | $199–$499 |
| Car detailing (mobile) | $149 | $149–$299 |
Pricing reflects standard single-family residential service in Austin and the surrounding metro. Commercial properties, HOA-managed properties, and properties outside the standard service area are quoted separately.
House washing — also called exterior siding cleaning or full façade soft wash — starts at $199 for a standard single-story home with vinyl, fiber cement, or stucco siding. Two-story homes typically run $279 to $379. Larger homes, complicated rooflines, or properties with stone or limestone exteriors that require careful detergent matching can range up to $449.
Soft wash uses a chemistry-first approach — a biodegradable surfactant that breaks down algae, mildew, dirt, and oxidation at the root, applied at fan-spray pressure (similar to a garden hose). High-pressure washing physically blasts contaminants off, which works on concrete but damages painted surfaces, voids manufacturer warranties on shingles and some sidings, and forces water under siding seams where it can rot the substrate.
A soft wash house costs the same as a pressure wash house but lasts longer between cleanings, doesn’t require repaint or re-stain afterward, and protects the warranty on your exterior materials.
Every house washing service we provide includes the full perimeter of the home, all soffits and eaves, the front porch and visible side patios, all exterior light fixtures, and detail work around doors and windows. Mulch beds, plants, and landscaping are rinsed and protected throughout the job. We don’t leave until water beads up clean off the surface.

Concrete cleaning starts at $99 for a standard driveway and walkway. Larger driveways with heavy oil staining, decorative patterns that need extra detail, or extended walkways and patios can run $179 to $299.
What drives variation: surface area square footage, depth of staining (rust, oil, organic), whether sealing is wanted as an add-on, and concrete age (older concrete with surface laitance may need a different rotational surface cleaner technique).
We use a surface cleaner attachment for the main surface — this avoids the zebra-stripe streaking that handheld wand work leaves behind — and detail-clean the edges, expansion joints, and any landscaped borders by hand.
Soft wash roof cleaning starts at $375 for a standard single-story asphalt shingle roof. Two-story homes and larger roof footprints typically run $450 to $650. Roofs requiring extra steep-pitch safety setup, complex valley work, or significant moss removal can reach $750.
This is the method the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association explicitly recommends — low-pressure application of a chlorine-based biocide that kills the algae (Gloeocapsa magma — the cause of those black streaks on most Austin roofs) at the root, including the spore layer that pressure washing physically cannot reach. The result lasts 4–6 years versus 12–18 months from pressure washing, and pressure washing actively voids most shingle manufacturer warranties.
Our roof cleaning includes algae treatment, gutter rinse-out as part of the standard service, and a follow-up walk-around inspection to flag any other roof concerns you should know about.

Gutter cleaning starts at $99 for a single-story home with standard gutters. Multi-story homes, gutters with extensive debris from oak canopies, or gutter systems that include downspout flow checks and gutter screen installation typically run $149 to $249.
Live oaks shed catkins (the yellow-green tassels) every spring, drop leaves continuously year-round (they aren’t deciduous — they’re “evergreen-ish”), and shed acorns in fall. In neighborhoods with mature oak canopies — Travis Heights, Hyde Park, Tarrytown, Allandale, Crestview, Northwest Hills, and most of West Austin — gutter debris compacts much more densely than the national average. Cleanout often takes longer, may include rooftop debris removal alongside gutter work, and downspout flow checks become more important. Pricing in those neighborhoods reflects the additional time, not a markup.

Exterior window cleaning starts at $149 for a single-story home with standard double-hung windows. Two-story homes, large picture windows, screen cleaning, or interior + exterior service typically runs $199 to $349.
We use squeegee-and-rinse technique for streak-free results — not deionized water spray that leaves spots on Austin’s hard water profile. Screen pop and clean is included on request.

Deck and patio cleaning starts at $149 for a standard 200 sq ft cedar or composite deck. Larger decks, multi-level construction, or decks that need stripping and re-sealing as a follow-up package can run $249 to $399. Fence cleaning (separate from siding) starts at $199 for cedar fencing up to 50 linear feet — longer fences scale from there.
Soft wash is the only appropriate method for sealed deck wood and stained fence cedar. High pressure literally peels the sealant off and forces fibers up, leaving you with a fuzzy deck that needs to be sanded and re-sealed at additional cost.
Mobile car detailing starts at $149 for a standard exterior wash and wax. Interior detail, full interior + exterior, headlight restoration, or trim treatment as add-ons can bring the total to $199–$299 depending on the work. We come to your driveway — no need to drop the car off anywhere.
Standard residential pricing assumes a few baseline conditions. The cost can vary based on several factors.
Limestone, stucco, painted brick, fiber cement, vinyl, and stained wood each respond differently to detergents and pressure. The right chemistry for one surface can damage another — properly identifying the substrate is half the job. Limestone in particular requires careful pH balancing to avoid etching the surface.
A standard single-story home in 78704 has different access requirements than a two-story home in West Lake Hills. Multi-story homes need taller ladders, longer hose runs, sometimes lift access, and more setup time. Property size scales pricing in proportion to actual surface area, not lot size.
A standalone driveway cleaning costs $99. A house wash plus driveway combo costs $269 — that’s $29 less than buying them separately, because we’re already on-site with equipment set up. Bundle pricing reflects the real cost savings of consolidated visits, and we pass them along.
Sealing concrete after driveway cleaning, applying an algae-resistant treatment after a soft wash, sanitizing high-traffic surfaces, or scheduling annual maintenance contracts all involve add-on pricing that varies by scope. Add-ons are always optional and always quoted up front.
The cheapest pressure washing quote in Austin is often the most expensive cleaning you’ll ever buy.
Here’s why: an underpriced quote almost always means a high-pressure wand and a tank of water. That’s it. No chemistry, no biological understanding of what’s actually on the surface. The result looks cleaner for 2–6 months — then the algae spores that survived pressure washing rebloom faster than before, the paint or sealant that got partially stripped off needs touch-up, and the next cleaning has to start from a worse baseline.
Soft wash costs the same up front but lasts roughly 3x longer between cleanings, doesn’t damage substrates, and doesn’t void warranties. The math on lifetime cost favors soft wash by a significant margin.
Our three current bundle offerings combine the most commonly requested service pairings.
House Wash + Driveway Combo — $269. A full soft wash of the house exterior plus a pressure wash of the driveway and primary walkway. Same-day service. Most popular for general curb appeal refresh.
Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Package — $599. Full exterior reset for homes about to go on the market. Soft wash siding, driveway, walkway, fence, and front porch. Same-week turnaround so the listing photos pop.
Roof + Gutter Combo — $449. Soft wash roof cleaning (algae treatment included) plus full gutter cleanout and downspout flow check. Recommended seasonally for homes near live oaks. The most cost-effective way to protect a roof from premature aging.
Austin pressure washing pricing in 2026 generally falls into three tiers.
Pressure wash only. No chemistry, no proper detergent, often uninsured. Hidden cost is the post-cleaning repaint, re-seal, or roof replacement.
Insured, soft-wash-capable, understands the chemistry. Service warranty, manufacturer-approved methods. Most reputable Austin companies operate here. This is where we sit.
Larger properties, multi-story complex access, specialty surfaces like limestone or historic stucco. Premium pricing for premium scopes.
Our pricing sits firmly in the mid tier — properly insured, soft-wash specialists, with same-week scheduling and written quotes.
Send us your home’s basic details (square footage if known, number of stories, primary siding material) through the booking calendar link below. We respond with a written quote within 24 hours, no in-person visit required unless the property has unusual conditions. Same-week scheduling is available across Austin and surrounding cities — typically Wednesday through Saturday, with weekend slots booked first.
House washing starts at $199 for a standard single-story home with vinyl, stucco, or fiber cement siding. Two-story homes and larger square footage typically run $279–$449 depending on access and exterior material.
No — soft wash usually costs the same or less, because it requires less labor time and prevents the expensive damage pressure washing can do to shingles, paint, and stucco.
Soft wash roof cleaning starts at $375 for a standard single-story asphalt shingle roof. Multi-story or larger roofs typically range from $450–$750. Includes algae treatment to slow regrowth.
Heavy oak canopies drop tassels, pollen, and small branches that compact in gutters and clog downspouts. Cleanout takes longer and may include rooftop debris removal, so pricing often runs higher than the $99 base rate.
Yes. Combining house washing with driveway cleaning saves around 20%. Pre-listing curb appeal packages bundle siding, driveway, walkway, fence, and front porch for $599 — typically a $750+ value if billed separately.
We offer same-week scheduling across the Austin metro for most service types, including 78704, 78745, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, and surrounding cities.
All prices are written quotes confirmed before we start. No hidden fees, no upcharges, no surprises.
