Search for pressure washing prices online and you’ll see ranges from about $150 to $1,800. A spread that wide doesn’t help you plan for your own house, so we publish our actual rates.
Summerville gets close to 50 inches of rain in a typical year, most of it from June through September, according to NOAA precipitation normals. That moisture keeps algae and mildew growing on siding, roofs, and concrete, and homes that back up to neighborhood ponds tend to green up faster. AC condensate lines and sprinklers add rust streaks on top of it.
We’re locally owned, born and raised in the Summerville area, and pressure washing across Summerville is the core of our work. This guide covers what each service costs, what moves the price, and what a typical job adds up to.

What Does It Cost to Wash a House in Summerville?
A soft wash on a Summerville home costs $304.70 for a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot vinyl-siding house and about $477 for a 3,500 to 4,000 square foot one, with stucco and brick adding 20%.
| Home size | Vinyl, Hardie plank, or painted siding | Stucco or brick (+20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | $300 minimum | $300 minimum |
| 1,500–2,000 sq ft | $304.70 | $365.64 |
| 2,000–3,500 sq ft | Priced in 500 sq ft steps between these two sizes | Same steps, plus 20% |
| 3,500–4,000 sq ft | About $477 | About $572.40 |
| Over 4,000 sq ft | Quoted after we see the home | Quoted after we see the home |
Stucco and brick cost more because they take a stronger solution and more time on site. Painted siding gets a test spot first, at no extra charge, so we can confirm how the surface reacts before the full wash. A standard vinyl home takes about an hour to an hour and a half, and you can walk through each step of our soft wash house washing process before you book.
How Summerville House Wash Prices Compare
Our $304.70 price for a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot vinyl home sits close to the national average of about $310 reported by Angi, where most homeowners pay between roughly $212 and $447. Locally, $304.70 is about one-tenth of one percent of the $295,700 median value of an owner-occupied Summerville home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Most homes around here are two-story vinyl, and much of Summerville’s housing is newer construction, according to NeighborhoodScout. The vinyl column above covers the majority of the houses we wash.
What Raises or Lowers Your Pressure Washing Quote?
Five things move a Summerville pressure washing quote: the size of the surface, the siding or roofing material, how many stories we’re reaching, how heavy the organic growth is, and whether stains like rust or oil need their own treatment.
| Factor | How it changes the price | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Houses are priced in 500 sq ft steps, concrete by the sq ft, gutters by the linear foot | Measured during your estimate or online quote |
| Material | Stucco and brick add 20%; metal roofs may need scrubbing | Solution strength matched to the surface; painted homes test-spotted first |
| Height | Gutters cost more per foot on each higher story | Our water-fed pole reaches about 40 feet for windows and solar panels from the ground; we work up to three stories |
| Organic growth | Heavy algae and mildew take a stronger solution and longer dwell time | Shaded sides and pond-side homes usually need the most |
| Stains | Rust is a separate $4 per sq ft treatment; heavy oil calls for hot water and degreaser | We tell you before we start what will and won’t come out |
Rust and Oil Stains Cost Extra, and Some Won’t Fully Disappear
Rust stains on Summerville homes and driveways usually come from AC condensate lines or sprinklers hitting the house, and we treat them separately at $4 per square foot of staining. As a certified F9 applicator, we start with a gentle dilution of F9 BARC and increase it only as far as the stain requires.
Oil is the other common add-on. Our stainless-steel hot water unit cuts through grease and oil in high-traffic areas that cold-water setups can’t touch, and most companies around here don’t run hot water at all. We bring it out as part of driveway and concrete cleaning when a garage apron or parking spot has oil soaked into it.
Why Roof Cleaning Starts at $500
Roof cleaning starts at $500 because we soft wash the whole roof with a stronger solution, keep a second crew member on the ground wetting your plants the entire time, and rinse every roof before we leave. Roofs get a 4 to 6% sodium hypochlorite solution, compared with about 1 to 1.25% on siding, and we bag the downspouts and neutralize the runoff. We clean the whole roof. We don’t do partial roof cleanings.
The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association warns that high-pressure washing is likely to damage asphalt shingles, and it notes that algae discoloration can return after cleaning. Low-pressure soft washing is the only method we use on a roof.
Minimums, Bundles, and Repeat-Customer Savings
Every residential job with us has a $300 minimum, and combining services saves 10% to 20% on the bundle, with repeat customers taking another 10% off the final price.
Price check on the first call: When you call or fill out our online form, we tell you up front whether your job clears the $300 minimum and roughly where it will land, before an estimate is ever scheduled.
The minimum matters most on small jobs. A driveway-only visit, a few rust spots, or exterior windows on their own all fall under $300, but the same work added to a house wash is billed at its regular rate. Windows are a good example: the $300 standalone minimum on window cleaning is waived when you add windows to a house wash.
| What you combine | Savings |
|---|---|
| House wash + driveway + gutter cleaning | 10% off the bundle |
| Add exterior windows or roof cleaning to that bundle | Larger bundle savings, up to 20% |
| Any other service added to a bundle | About 5% off that service |
| Repeat customers | 10% off the final price, stacked on any bundle savings |
Instead of hiring a separate window company, a gutter company, and a pressure washer, you get it all done in one visit, by one company, with one bill, while we’re already on site.
What a Typical Summerville Job Costs
A typical two-story, 1,800 square foot vinyl home in Summerville that books a house wash, a standard driveway, and gutter cleaning comes to roughly $690 to $750 after the 10% bundle discount. The example below uses our published rates. It’s an illustration, not a quote.
| Line item | Price |
|---|---|
| House wash, 1,800 sq ft vinyl | $304.70 |
| Standard four-car driveway | $175.00 |
| Gutter cleaning, about 140 feet on a two-story home | $290–$350 |
| Subtotal | $769.70–$829.70 |
| After 10% bundle discount | $692.73–$746.73 |
| Repeat customer (another 10% off) | $623.46–$672.06 |
Gutter cost depends on how many feet sit at each story height, so that line shows a range. Larger homes land higher. The house wash alone on a 3,800 square foot brick home is about $572.40, so the same bundle on a house that size can reach the top of the $500 to $1,000 range most of our customers spend, or go past it.
What Every Price Includes
Every price we quote includes plant and property protection, before-and-after photos, and a final walkthrough of the work, so the number on your estimate covers the full job as quoted.
- Plant and property protection. We protect your property before, during, and after every clean, wetting down plants, covering doorbells, electronics, and fixtures, and applying a neutralizer afterward so nothing’s left to burn your landscaping.
- Before-and-after photos. Every job is documented with before-and-after photos sent straight to you, so you can see exactly what we did, whether you’re home or not.
- A walkaround before we pack up. We don’t rush a job to get to the next one. We take our time, do it right the first time, and we don’t roll up a single hose until you’ve walked the property with us and you’re happy. If you’re not home, the photos show you the finished work.
- Guarantees. We stand behind everything we do. If something isn’t right, we’ll come back and make it right. Gutter cleaning also carries a 90-day free-flow guarantee: if your gutters aren’t draining freely within 90 days, we’ll come back and clear them.
Our crew is PWNA-trained, and our customers have given us a 5.0-star rating on Google. That’s how we deliver The Shine Your Home Deserves.
Why Do Some Pressure Washing Quotes Come In Lower?
Lower pressure washing quotes often leave out the cleaning solution, the plant protection, or the final rinse, and some put high pressure on siding that should be soft washed. On a house, we downstream a low-concentration sodium hypochlorite solution and let it dwell, so it kills the algae and mildew instead of knocking off the surface layer. High pressure can force water behind vinyl siding and strip paint, and growth that isn’t killed comes back sooner. When you compare quotes, ask each company:
- What’s being applied to the siding?
- At what pressure?
- What happens to your plants?
Is Professional Pressure Washing Worth the Cost?
For most Summerville homeowners, professional pressure washing is worth the cost because a few hundred dollars clears growth that keeps spreading in our humidity and makes a visible difference before guests, an HOA inspection, or a sale.
Curb appeal carries real weight when you sell. In HomeLight’s Top Agent Insights report, agents recommended sellers put about $3,467 into curb appeal before listing and estimated about $11,718 back at resale. Exterior cleaning is one of the lowest-cost pieces of that work, and several of our customers book a full exterior clean specifically to get a house ready to list.
Commercial Pressure Washing Costs
Commercial pressure washing in Summerville is priced by the square foot, the unit, or the visit, with a $300 commercial minimum and after-hours or overnight scheduling available so the work stays out of your customers’ way.
| Commercial service | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Building washing | $0.085–$0.10 per sq ft |
| Storefront cleaning | About $0.10–$0.15 per sq ft |
| Drive-thru cleaning | Typically $300–$800, depending on size |
| Dumpster pad cleaning | $250 single / $400 double, with up to three bags of trash hauled off |
| HOA and townhome communities | About $100–$125 per home |
| Apartment complexes | About $50–$60 per unit, with add-on areas extra |
We carry $1 million in general liability with a $2 million umbrella, plus $1 million in commercial auto and workers’ comp, and we provide a COI, W-9, and workers’ comp documentation on request for your vendor system. Our hot water unit handles grease on drive-thrus and dumpster pads, and recurring schedules from weekly to semi-annual adjust the price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is soft washing more expensive than pressure washing?
Soft washing isn’t an extra charge with us, because soft washing is how we clean every house and roof, and the prices in this guide already include it. High pressure is reserved for concrete, where our surface cleaner runs at about 1,500 to 2,000 PSI. Roofs get the same low-pressure treatment as siding, and you can see how we soft wash roofs step by step.
Can I save money by pressure washing my house myself?
Renting a pressure washer typically costs $50 to $250 a day, according to Angi, so doing it yourself can save money on a single-story driveway. On a two-story home, a rental means ladder work and high pressure aimed at siding and trim, without the soft wash solution a house actually needs, so the savings rarely hold up on siding or roofs.
How often will I need to pay for pressure washing in Summerville?
How often you’ll need pressure washing depends on your home’s shade, moisture, and surroundings, so we give you an honest read at the estimate instead of pushing a set schedule. For roofs, a guideline we pass along from a local roofer is every two to three years.
Do you use my water?
Yes, we hook up to your outdoor spigot on residential jobs, and our truck also carries a 225-gallon buffer tank. Large commercial jobs can use a hydrant hookup permitted through the local water department.
Can I get an exact price without an in-person visit?
Yes, you can get an instant estimate on our website by answering a few questions about your home and choosing your services, then approve it and pick your date from the same estimate. If you’d rather have someone walk the property with you, an in-person estimate is free too.
