What changes the price
- Square footage of the surfaces
- Concrete vs. siding, roof or wood
- Heavy stains like oil, rust or red clay
- Add-ons like sealing or gutter cleaning
- Where you live. Local labor costs, demand and travel time move prices up or down from the national average.
How to pay less
- Bundle the house, driveway and patio into one visit. Price per square foot drops as the job gets bigger, and you only pay one minimum.
- Ask for soft washing on siding and roofs. It cleans with low pressure and is less likely to cause damage you then pay to fix.
- Move cars, furniture and planters out of the way before the crew arrives.
- Compare at least two or three quotes for the same scope. Pros on Job Hound never pay for leads, so no lead fee is built into their price.
