Pressure washing in Jacksonville costs $129 to $949 depending on the service. A house wash runs $249–$449, a two-car driveway $129–$189, and a roof soft wash $399–$949. Below those headline numbers sit per-square-foot rates you can use to sanity-check any quote you're handed — which is more useful than a single average, because the biggest source of price variation isn't the company, it's what they've actually included.
Below: the price for each service, a worked example on a typical 2,000 square foot Jacksonville home, the six things that actually move a quote, the per-square-foot rates for comparing bids, and the red flags worth walking away from.
The short answer on price
Most Jacksonville homeowners spend between $400 and $650 in a single visit, because almost nobody books one service on its own. The usual combination is a house soft wash plus the driveway and front walkway, which lands around $380–$600 depending on the size of the home.
If you add a roof soft wash — worth doing if you can see black streaking on the shingles — you're looking at $850–$1,200 for the visit, and that typically covers you for two to three years.
Prices by service
These are the ranges we quote across Duval, St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties as of 2026. Every figure is a fixed written price before we book, not an estimate.
| Service | Low end | High end | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|---|
| House soft wash | $249 | $679 | Two storeys, heavy black streaking, awkward access |
| Driveway & walkway | $129 | $259 | Three-car width, rust staining, oil |
| Roof soft wash | $399 | $949 | Steep pitch, two storeys, concrete tile |
| Paver clean & seal | $475 | $1,750 | Area, stripping a failed sealer, efflorescence |
| Deck or fence | $99 | $450 | Both fence faces, timber vs composite |
| Pool deck / patio | $149 | $299 | Screen enclosure included, paver vs concrete |
| Rust / oil treatment | $45 | $150 | Age of the stain, area affected |
Full detail on each — including the method and why it matters — is on the individual pages: house washing, driveway and concrete cleaning, roof cleaning and paver sealing.
A 2,000 sq ft house, costed properly
"How much to pressure wash a 2,000 square foot house" is the single most searched pricing question in this trade, and the honest answer is that it depends what you mean by the house. Washing the walls is one job. Washing the walls, the driveway and the roof is three.
| Scope | Single storey | Two storey | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| House wash only | $279 – $409 | $369 – $519 | 2–3 hrs |
| House + driveway | $379 – $559 | $469 – $669 | 3–4 hrs |
| House + driveway + roof | $729 – $1,029 | $939 – $1,309 | 6–8 hrs |
| Full exterior (adds deck & fence) | $899 – $1,349 | $1,109 – $1,629 | 1–2 days |
Note how the bundle prices are less than the sum of the parts. That isn't a discount we're being generous with — it reflects real cost. Most of the expense in a small job is travel, setup, water hookup and breakdown. Doing three services in one visit means paying for that once.
What actually moves the price
Six things, roughly in order of impact. If a quote is much higher or lower than you expected, it's almost always one of these.
- Storeys. A second storey adds 25–35%. That isn't wall area — it's the setup, extension equipment and time spent repositioning safely.
- Access. Gated communities, steep lots, homes over water, and properties with no side gate all add time before any cleaning starts.
- How bad it is. Heavy black streaking often needs a second application, adding roughly 15%. Lightly soiled homes come in at the bottom of the range.
- Stain treatment. Rust from well-water irrigation, oil and efflorescence are separate chemical jobs, from $45. Any quote that ignores visible rust is going to disappoint you.
- Surface type. Concrete tile roofs cost more than shingle. Pavers cost more than poured concrete. Cedar needs more care than vinyl.
- Bundling. The single biggest lever you control. Combine services into one visit.
Per-square-foot rates for checking a quote
This is the useful part. Ask any company for their per-square-foot rate and compare it against the table below — it strips out the guesswork about home size and tells you immediately whether a bid is in the market.
| Surface | Fair range | Measured on |
|---|---|---|
| House washing | $0.12 – $0.22 | Home footprint, not wall area |
| Concrete flatwork | $0.15 – $0.25 | Actual slab area |
| Roof soft wash | $0.20 – $0.45 | Roof area including pitch |
| Paver clean only | $0.25 – $0.40 | Paved area |
| Paver clean + sand + seal | $0.95 – $1.75 | Paved area |
| Timber deck | $0.25 – $0.40 | Deck area |
| Commercial flatwork | $0.10 – $0.20 | On a quarterly contract |
Quote red flags
A number well below these ranges usually means something is missing rather than that you've found a bargain. The most common omissions:
- Pressure-only "washing" on siding. Far cheaper to do, and it lasts two to three months instead of eighteen. See soft washing vs pressure washing.
- No insurance. Ask for the certificate from the insurer directly, not a forwarded PDF.
- "Estimate" rather than a fixed price. Estimates grow on the day. Get the number in writing.
- Payment in full up front. Standard residential work is paid on completion in this market.
- A pressure washer pointed at your roof. This voids most shingle warranties. It's a reason to end the conversation.

My honest take
After twelve years doing this on the First Coast, the thing I'd tell a friend is this: the cheapest quote almost always costs more over three years, and the most expensive one is usually paying for marketing rather than method.
What you actually want is the company in the middle of the range that can explain, without being asked, why your siding gets soft washed and your driveway doesn't. That answer is the real qualification. Price follows from it.
And genuinely — don't over-buy. If your home sits in open sun in a newer subdivision like Nocatee, a wash every two years is plenty and anyone selling you an annual contract is selling you something you don't need. If you're under the oak canopy in Mandarin, annual is genuinely right. The interval should follow your conditions, not a sales target.
