How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost? (Driveways, Patios & More)
In north Alabama, professional pressure washing starts around $299, priced by square footage and surface type. A typical two-car driveway is the most common job; patios, walks, decks, and fences each price by their own footage. Pre-treatment for oil and rust should be included, and bundling surfaces in one visit lowers the combined cost.
What does pressure washing cost by surface?
Our pricing starts from $299 and scales by square footage — a two-car driveway, a back patio, and a fence line are each their own measurement. The instant quote prices your exact surfaces in about a minute, and the pattern most folks land on is a bundle: once the equipment is on your driveway, adding the walks and patio costs far less than a separate visit later. Pairing concrete work with a house soft wash (from $400) in one appointment is the most cost-efficient way to reset the whole exterior.
What changes the price?
- ●Square footage — the driving factor; more concrete, more time
- ●Surface condition — years of built-up mildew and grime need slower passes than annual maintenance
- ●Stains — oil, rust, and red clay need chemical pre-treatment before washing (included with us; an upcharge with some)
- ●Surface type — stamped or colored concrete, pavers, and wood need gentler, slower settings
- ●Access — steep drives and fenced backyards add setup time
Why do quotes vary so much between companies?
Three reasons. First, scope: one quote includes pre-treatment and edging, the other is a single fast pass. Second, method: a crew that matches pressure and tips to each surface works slower than one that blasts everything at max — and the fast version is how driveways get wand-line etching. Third, honesty about stains: deep-set oil may only fade, and a company should say so before starting, not after. We do — it's in writing on every quote, and the final price is never higher than quoted.
How often is pressure washing worth doing?
Once a year keeps Alabama concrete from building the gray film of mildew and traffic grime that makes a house look tired from the curb. The shaded stretches that grow slick green film deserve attention sooner — that film is a real slip hazard, especially on smooth finished concrete. And if you're listing the house, the driveway is the first thing a buyer's car touches: a $299-and-up wash is the cheapest curb-appeal money there is.
