Pressure Washing Cost in Jacksonville, FL

Every price we charge, published. What each service costs, what moves the number, and how to tell a fair quote from a bad one.

The short version: most Jacksonville homeowners spend $375–$700 on a house wash with the driveway included, and $850–$1,900 for a full exterior with the roof. Everything below explains how those numbers are built, so you can check any quote you receive — including ours.

Nearly every pressure washing company in Jacksonville asks you to call for a price. We understand why they do it: a phone call converts better than a web page. But it wastes your afternoon ringing round four companies to find out that three of them were never in your budget.

So here is everything. These are real 2026 ranges for this market, benchmarked against published Florida pricing data and what jobs in Duval, Clay, St. Johns and Nassau counties actually take. They are planning estimates, not binding quotes — but if your property is ordinary, your final number will land inside them.

What a house wash costs

House washing is priced on the square footage of exterior wall, not floor area, which is why a sprawling single-story ranch can cost less than a compact two-story. The second story is the expensive part — it needs longer reach, more careful rinsing and considerably more time.

Typical Jacksonville range

$225–$650

Roughly $0.2–$0.4 per sq ft of exterior wall

Most single-story Jacksonville homes land in the low-to-mid range. Two stories, heavy shade, or three years of neglect push it up.

Job sizeTypical range
Under 1,500 sq ft, 1 story$225–$325
1,500–2,000 sq ft, 1 story$275–$425
2,000–2,500 sq ft, 1 story$350–$500

What roof cleaning costs

Roof area is not the same as house area. Once pitch and overhangs are counted, most roofs measure 15–25% larger than the home's footprint. A 2,000 sq ft house usually has closer to a 2,400 sq ft roof, and that is what gets priced.

Typical Jacksonville range

$375–$1,400

Roughly $0.25–$0.6 per sq ft of roof area

Roof area runs roughly 15–25% larger than your home's floor area once pitch and overhangs are counted. Tile costs more than shingle because it takes longer to walk safely.

Job sizeTypical range
Up to 1,500 sq ft roof — asphalt shingle$375–$600
1,500–2,000 sq ft roof — asphalt shingle$475–$800
2,000–2,500 sq ft roof — asphalt shingle$600–$975
2,500–3,500 sq ft roof — asphalt shingle$750–$1,250

What driveway and concrete cleaning costs

The cheapest visible improvement available to most properties. Priced by slab area — and worth knowing that rust and oil are separate line items, because they are chemical treatments rather than pressure work.

Typical Jacksonville range

$95–$400

Roughly $0.15–$0.3 per sq ft of flatwork

Priced on square footage of slab, not on how dirty it looks. Rust and oil are separate line items because they need different chemistry.

Job sizeTypical range
Two-car driveway (~600 sq ft)$95–$185
Three-car driveway (~900 sq ft)$135–$265
Driveway + front walkway$145–$300

What paver cleaning and sealing costs

These are two different jobs and they are priced very differently. Cleaning restores the colour. Sealing protects it, locks the joint sand and deepens the tone — and costs several times more, because it is mostly labour and sealer volume.

Typical Jacksonville range

$150–$550

Roughly $0.25–$0.45 per sq ft

More than plain concrete because joints need care and usually need re-sanding afterward.

Job sizeTypical range
Paver walkway or entry (up to 300 sq ft)$150–$250
Paver driveway (600–900 sq ft)$225–$425
Paver pool deck or lanai (800–1,200 sq ft)$275–$550
What changes the priceEffect
Polymeric joint sand replacement+$0.35 to $0.70/sq ft
Weed and root removal from joints+$50 to $150

Paver sealing

Typical Jacksonville range

$1.25–$2.75 per sq ft

Roughly $1.25–$2.75 per sq ft, including the clean and re-sand

The price is mostly labour and sealer volume. A cheap quote almost always means a thinner coat, a skipped sand step, or a solvent-based product that will go cloudy.

Job sizeTypical range
Entry / walkway (250 sq ft)$375–$700
Paver driveway (700 sq ft)$900–$1,900
Pool deck (1,000 sq ft)$1,250–$2,750
Driveway + walkway + pool deck (2,000 sq ft)$2,400–$5,200
What changes the priceEffect
Stripping a previous failed sealer+$1.00 to $2.25/sq ft
Wet-look / colour-enhancing finish+15% to 25%
Paver repair or re-set before sealingquoted separately

Why is one paver sealing quote half the price of another?

Because sealing is the easiest service in this industry to do badly and still get paid for. A cheap quote almost always means one of three things: a single thin coat instead of two, a skipped re-sanding step, or a solvent-based product applied over damp pavers that will go cloudy within a year.

Stripping a failed sealer costs more than the original job did. If you are comparing quotes, ask how many coats, what sand is being used, and how long the pavers will be left to dry between cleaning and sealing. Anyone willing to clean and seal on the same day is telling you something important about their work.

Pool decks, cages, decks and fences

Backyard work is usually booked together, and there is real money saved doing it that way — one setup, one prep, one visit.

Fence cleaningWood fence, both sides (100 ft)$275–$450
Fence cleaningFull perimeter, average Jacksonville lot (200–250 ft)$300–$700

Why does a screen enclosure cost as much as a pool deck?

Because it takes almost as long and carries more risk. Screen mesh tears if you approach it with anything above a gentle rinse, and a rescreen costs far more than the wash did. The frame, the kickplates and the corners all have to be done by hand.

Booking the cage and the deck together saves $50 to $100, because the setup and the water source are already in place.

Gutters and windows

Gutter work is genuinely two services sold under one name, and it is worth knowing which one you are buying.

  • Clearing removes leaves, pine straw and grit from inside the trough so water drains.
  • Brightening removes the black vertical stripes from the outside face — the marks most people assume mean the gutters need replacing. They almost never do.

Typical Jacksonville range

$125–$400

Two different jobs sold together: clearing debris from inside, and removing the black "tiger stripes" from the outside face.

Job sizeTypical range
Debris clear-out, single story (150 linear ft)$125–$200
Debris clear-out, two story$175–$300
Exterior brightening (stripe removal), per linear ft$1.5–$3
Clear-out + brightening bundled$275–$550
What changes the priceEffect
Heavy oak or pine debris load+$50 to $125
Gutter guards to remove and refit+$75 to $175

Window cleaning

Typical Jacksonville range

$6–$14 per pane

Most people add this to a house wash — washing the house first and the glass second is the only order that makes sense.

Job sizeTypical range
Exterior only, single story (15–20 windows)$125–$225
Exterior only, two story (20–30 windows)$200–$375
Interior + exterior, tracks and sills$300–$600
What changes the priceEffect
Hard-water / sprinkler spotting removal+$8 to $20 per pane
Screens cleaned separately+$3 to $6 each

Rust and oil stains

These get quoted separately from washing because they are chemistry problems, not pressure problems. No amount of PSI removes rust — it needs an acid-based treatment, and the concrete has to be able to take it.

Typical Jacksonville range

$75–$450

Charged separately from washing because it is a chemical treatment, not a pressure job. Fixing the sprinkler head matters as much as removing the stain.

Job sizeTypical range
Isolated stains on one driveway edge$75–$175
Full driveway with widespread orange staining$175–$350
Rust bleed on siding, stucco or a pool deck$125–$450
What changes the priceEffect

Oil and grease

Typical Jacksonville range

$50–$300

Honest expectation: fresh oil comes out, four-year-old transmission fluid lightens substantially but usually leaves a shadow.

Job sizeTypical range
Single fresh drip spot$50–$100
Garage apron with multiple old stains$125–$250
Commercial pad or drive-through lane$175–$300

Will the stain come out completely?

Sometimes, and we will tell you which case yours is before we take your money. Fresh oil lifts almost entirely. Rust from a sprinkler head that has been running for two seasons usually goes from obvious to barely noticeable. A transmission leak that soaked into porous concrete four years ago will lighten substantially and leave a shadow.

Anyone who promises a stain will vanish without seeing it first is guessing. Send a close-up and we will give you a realistic answer.

Bundles, and what they actually save

Most of a job's cost is setup, prep, travel and pack-down. Doing three surfaces on one visit spreads that across all three, which is why bundles are cheaper — not because of a discount, but because it genuinely costs us less.

PackageIncludesTypical rangeWho books it
Curb appealHouse wash + driveway + front walkway$375–$700The most-booked combination. Everything visible from the street.
Full exteriorHouse wash + roof + driveway + walkways + gutters$850–$1,900Typical for a home that has not been cleaned in three or more years.
Backyard resetPool deck + screen enclosure + fence$500–$1,100Popular before a spring or summer party season.
Pre-listingHouse wash + roof + all flatwork + exterior windows$950–$2,100Booked 2–3 weeks before listing photos.

Commercial pricing

Commercial work is quoted per property because no two sites are alike, but the underlying maths is straightforward. General flatwork runs $0.1 to $0.25 per square foot, with a minimum around $350 to make a visit worthwhile.

  • Recurring contracts price 15–30% below one-time rates.
  • After-hours and overnight work adds roughly 20%.
  • Grease-heavy areas (drive-throughs, dumpster pads) are quoted separately from general flatwork.

For HOAs and managed portfolios, the useful number is not the per-visit price — it is the annual one. A quarterly schedule across a community costs less per visit and stops the problem being visible at all. That is covered on the HOA page and the property management page.

What actually sets your price

FactorWhy it matters
Square footageThe single biggest driver. Everything is priced off measured area, not off a photo.
How long since the last cleanThree years of growth needs more solution, more dwell time and a second pass. Annual maintenance is meaningfully cheaper per visit.
Surface materialVinyl rinses fast. Stucco holds solution. Travertine and cool-deck need lower pressure and more passes.
Height and accessSecond stories, steep pitches, tight side yards and gated backyards all add time.
Water availabilityNo working spigot means bringing a tank, which adds to the job.
What is around itMature beds, a pool, koi ponds and neighbouring cars all need protection before anything gets sprayed.
Stains vs dirtRust, oil and paint are chemical problems. They are quoted as separate line items because they are separate work.

Does a bigger house always cost more?

Not proportionally. The fixed costs — driving out, setting up, protecting landscaping, packing down — are the same on a 1,200 sq ft house as on a 3,200 sq ft one. That is why small jobs feel expensive per square foot and large ones feel like better value.

It is also why we would rather clean your driveway on the same visit as your house than come back for it in three weeks.

Why does the last cleaning date matter so much?

Because organic growth builds a root structure into porous surfaces over time. A year of algae rinses off. Four years of algae has worked into the pores of the stucco and needs a stronger mix, a longer dwell and often a second application.

In practical terms, annual maintenance on a typical home runs about $300 a year. Letting it go for four years and then fixing it costs closer to $600 in one hit — and the surface underneath has had four years of biological activity working on it.

How to tell a fair quote from a bad one

The cheapest quote is sometimes the right one. But there are specific things worth checking, and they are the same things regardless of who you hire — including us.

Ask thisA good answer sounds likeWorry if you hear
Are you insured, and can I see the certificate?Yes — general liability, and here is the COI."We're careful, we've never had a claim."
What pressure will you use on my siding?Low — it's a soft wash, the solution does the work."Whatever it takes to get it clean."
What do you do about my plants?Soak them before, cover what needs it, rinse after."They'll be fine."
Does the price include soffits, eaves and gutter faces?Yes, itemised — or a clear no with a price to add it.A single number with no breakdown.
What if a stain doesn't come out?Here's what will improve and what probably won't."Everything comes out."
When will you seal, after cleaning the pavers?Not the same day — they need to dry properly first."We can do it all today."

One more thing worth saying plainly: a quote given without anyone looking at the property is a guess. Photos are enough for most residential jobs — that is why we ask for them — but a number produced from an address alone is not a quote, it is an opening bid that will change on the day.

Answers

Cost questions, answered properly

What is a fair price for pressure washing in Jacksonville?
For a standard single-story home of about 2,000 square feet, a fair house wash price is $275 to $425. A two-car driveway runs $95 to $185. A 2,000 square foot asphalt shingle roof is $475 to $800. If a quote comes in far below those numbers, ask what is being skipped — usually it is the plant protection, the dwell time, or the insurance.
How much does it cost to pressure wash a 2,000 sq ft house in Florida?
Between $275 and $425 for a single-story home in the Jacksonville market, and $425 to $600 if it is two stories. Stucco adds roughly 10 to 20 percent over vinyl because the texture holds growth and needs more solution and dwell time. If it has been more than three years, add another 15 to 30 percent.
How much should it cost to pressure wash a 1,000 sq ft house?
Around $225 to $325. Below about 1,500 square feet you start hitting minimum-charge territory, because the setup, prep and pack-down take the same time regardless of house size. That is also why bundling a driveway onto a small house wash is unusually good value.
How much does it cost to pressure wash a 2,000 sq ft roof?
A 2,000 square foot asphalt shingle roof runs $475 to $800 as a low-pressure soft wash. The same area in concrete or clay tile runs higher — usually $700 to $1,200 — because tile takes longer to walk safely and needs more careful rinsing.
How much should I charge for four hours of pressure washing?
Working operators in this market bill out at roughly $75 to $150 per hour once equipment, chemicals, insurance, fuel and travel are covered, so four hours lands somewhere near $300 to $600. That said, almost nobody quotes hourly to homeowners — pricing by square foot is fairer to both sides, because you are buying a finished result rather than someone else's pace.
Why are pressure washing quotes so different from each other?
Usually because they are not quoting the same job. One includes the soffits, the eaves and the gutter faces; another is just spraying the walls. One carries general liability insurance; another does not. One is using a proper cleaning solution with dwell time; another is trying to blast it off with water, which is faster, cheaper and much more likely to damage something. Ask each quote what it covers, and whether they are insured.
Is pressure washing worth the money?
For flat surfaces, almost always — a $150 driveway clean is the cheapest visible improvement you can make to a property. For roofs, the case is stronger still: removing algae growth protects the granule layer and delays a five-figure replacement. Where it is genuinely not worth it is cosmetic cleaning of something you are about to replace anyway.
Do you charge more for a first-time clean?
Not as a surcharge, but yes in effect — because a property that has never been cleaned takes longer and uses more solution. A home washed every year costs meaningfully less per visit than one washed every four. The work is genuinely easier when growth has not had time to establish.
