Power washing is a heavy-duty exterior cleaning method that uses a strong stream of water (sometimes heated) to strip away built-up grime, dirt, mold, mildew, algae, and other pollutants from outdoor surfaces like concrete, brick, siding, decks, and driveways.
It quickly refreshes the look of your property, improves curb appeal, and helps remove unwanted growth that can trigger allergies or create slippery, unsafe areas. Beyond looks, regular power washing can help protect surfaces from premature wear and even uncover cracks, rot, or other problems that may need attention.
A fair price for pressure washing a house is usually priced either by the square foot or as a flat job rate, and it depends on size, stories, staining, and access.
Most homeowners can expect:
$0.08–$0.47 per sq ft
About $250–$600+ total for a typical single-family home
Many “normal” jobs land around $0.20–$0.50 per sq ft when the home isn’t heavily stained and access is straightforward
Costs go up if the home is two+ stories, has heavy mold/algae, needs soft washing, has tight access/landscaping obstacles, or requires extra safety/setup.
The biggest difference comes down to temperature. Pressure washing relies on a high-pressure stream of cold or room-temperature water, which is great for blasting dirt off hard, resilient surfaces like concrete, pavers, and brick. Power washing adds heated water, which helps cut through stubborn buildup, especially grease, heavy grime, and organic growth like mold and mildew, and can provide a more “sanitizing” style clean.
Because heat makes cleaning more aggressive, power washing is more likely to damage softer or more delicate materials (painted surfaces, older wood, certain sidings) if it’s not done carefully. A simple way to remember it: pressure washing = high-pressure water, while power washing = high-pressure hot water for the toughest messes (sometimes paired with detergents when needed).
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. When high-pressure spray gets near outlets, switches, light fixtures, outdoor appliances, or exposed wiring, it can create serious safety risks, and it only takes a small amount of water intrusion to cause shorts, corrosion, tripped breakers, or costly damage behind the wall.
That’s why DIY power washing around electrical components can quickly turn from “quick cleanup” into a hazardous (and expensive) mistake.
Some surfaces and areas should never be pressure washed because high-pressure water can cause damage, safety hazards, or expensive repairs. Here’s a clear, homeowner-friendly breakdown:

Why This Matters
Using the wrong pressure or technique can:
That’s why professionals often use soft washing, low-pressure rinsing, or specialized cleaning methods for delicate or high-risk areas.
Pressure washing typically costs between $60 and $100 per hour, depending on the contractor, equipment used, and job complexity.
For example, a 1,200-square-foot home often takes around 6 hours to complete, putting the total cost between $360 and $600. Hourly rates may be higher for jobs that require specialty equipment, soft washing, heavy stain removal, or work on multi-story homes.
