How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Houston?
Real Houston pressure washing prices: driveways, house soft washing, decks, fences, and patios — typical ranges and what changes the price. Firm quotes from a photo: 713-396-0010.
Most pressure washing companies make you book an estimate visit before they'll say a number. Here's what jobs actually tend to cost in central Houston, so you can decide whether it's worth a text.
These are typical ranges for inner-loop homes. Your exact price depends on size, buildup, and access — which is why a couple of phone photos gets you a firm number, usually the same day.
Typical Prices
Central Houston price ranges
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway (2-car, concrete) | $120 – $250 | Long estate drives and motor courts priced by area |
| Sidewalks & front walk | $50 – $120 | Often bundled with a driveway wash |
| House soft wash (1-story) | $200 – $350 | Siding, trim, and exterior gutter faces |
| House soft wash (2-story) | $300 – $550 | Larger exteriors and townhomes at the upper end |
| Wood deck | $150 – $300 | Cleaning and brightening; staining prep available |
| Privacy fence | $1 – $2.50 per linear ft | Both sides; first-time cleans at the upper end |
| Patio / pool surround | $100 – $300 | By area and surface type |
Ranges reflect typical central-Houston jobs and include equipment, detergents, and cleanup. Heavy first-time buildup, difficult access, or oversized areas can price above the range — you'll know the firm number before we schedule.
What Moves the Price
Four factors that set your quote
Square footage
The biggest driver. A short bungalow driveway and a River Oaks motor court are different jobs — which is why photos beat phone descriptions for quoting.
Buildup and first-time cleans
A yearly-maintained driveway rinses fast. Five years of shade mildew needs pre-treatment, slower passes, and post-treatment — more time, more product.
Surface type
Concrete takes efficient high-pressure surface cleaning. Brick, pavers, wood, and painted surfaces need lower pressure and detergents, which takes longer.
Access and water
Gated motor courts, backyards without side access, or no exterior spigot add setup time. Nothing that stops the job — it just belongs in the quote.
Questions
Pricing FAQs
Why do pressure washing quotes vary so much between companies?
Equipment and method. A pro with a surface cleaner finishes a driveway evenly in a fraction of the time a wand takes, and soft washing a house requires different gear than blasting it. Very low quotes usually mean high pressure everywhere — which is how siding and decks get damaged.
Is there a minimum job size?
Our service minimum is what makes a truck roll worthwhile — small jobs like a front walk are best bundled with a driveway or patio. Ask; we'll tell you the cheapest way to get what you want done.
Does Texas Wash and Haul charge for quotes?
Never. Text photos to 713-396-0010 or send the quote form, and you'll get a firm number — usually the same day — with no visit required and no obligation.
Can I save by combining services?
Yes — washing plus hauling in one visit is our specialty, and bundled jobs price better than two separate truck rolls. Driveway + junk pile is the classic combo.
