How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Carrollton & the DFW Metroplex? (2026 Price Guide)

Before After

If you've searched "pressure washing cost near me," you probably want one number.

The numbers below are starting points and typical ranges we see on real jobs — they are not a quote, because every property is different.

Pressure washing cost by service (2026 table)

The table below reflects common starting ranges for Carrollton and North DFW. Treat these as frames, not quotes — we confirm each price after a quick look at your property.

We see plenty of variation in both directions. The point of this guide isn't to lock you into a number — it's to help you compare quotes fairly, which brings us to the factors that actually change the price.

What affects the price of your job

Two houses side by side can quote very differently, and that's normal. Here's what we're pricing when we put a number on your job:

• Square footage and linear footage. The more surface there is to clean, the more time and water it takes.
• Number of stories / height. Two-story homes add time and equipment considerations for siding, windows, and gutters.
• Type of buildup. A light dusting cleans fast. Years of algae, mildew, or hard-water mineral staining needs more work — and sometimes a pre-treatment step.
• Surface material. Durable concrete can take higher pressure. Stucco, painted siding, trim, and some pavers need a lower-pressure or soft-wash approach, which is genuinely different work.
• Access. Gates, tight side yards, landscaping to protect, and a working exterior water source all factor in.
• Add-ons. Driveways, patios, gutters, windows, and fences are usually quoted separately and bundled if done together.

This is why "what does pressure washing cost" never has one clean answer. A good estimate itemizes each area instead of giving you a vague lowball to win your call.

What's different about Carrollton & North DFW

A generic price guide could be written for anywhere in America. Ours can't be, because North Texas has a few things that change how often you need cleaning and how hard it is:

• Hard, mineral-heavy water. Our municipal water is hard, and off that water line comes calcium and mineral staining that shows up on driveways, windows, and siding faster than in softer-water regions. It's one of the most common jobs we do in Carrollton, Plano, and Lewisville — and it often needs a mild acid pre-treatment before the wash, not just a blast from a wand.
• Clay soil splash-back. DFW's clay dirt splashes up onto siding after storms, leaving a fine, baked-on film on the lower few feet of the house.
• Oak pollen and summer buildup. Pollen season coats exteriors, and the humid Texas summer speeds up algae and mildew on shaded sides. Homes under oak trees especially.

All of that means a "cheap" high-pressure pass may push the dirt around without actually dealing with the staining. It also means the method matters as much as the price — which is exactly why we lead with surface-appropriate cleaning.

Why the cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest job

We get it — exterior cleaning feels like it should be a commodity, and the lowest number is tempting. But here's the reality of lowball pressure washing quotes in DFW:

• One-pressure-fits-all equipment. A crew that runs the same high pressure on everything can etch stucco, strip paint, and blow water behind siding. The repair costs more than the cleaning ever did.
• No pre-treatment. Hard-water and algae staining doesn't come off with pressure alone. Skip the step and you get a "cleaner" look that's brown again in weeks.
• No insurance or a shared liability. If something goes wrong on your property, you want a fully insured company that stands behind the work.
• Surprise add-ons. The "starting at $99" quote that becomes $400 once they count your actual square footage isn't a deal — it's a bait-and-switch.

Bundling can save you money

If you're already having us out, it's usually cheaper per service to bundle the whole exterior refresh — driveway, house, walkways, and sometimes gutters or windows — in one visit. That's also when the from-$299 whole-property rate typically applies. It saves us a trip and saves you money, and it makes the whole house look consistent instead of half-done.

Frequently asked questions

Is pressure washing worth the cost?

For most homeowners, yes. It's dramatically cheaper than repainting siding, repairing water-damaged wood or fascia, or replacing stained concrete. Regular cleaning also prevents buildup from getting harder (and costlier) to remove later.

How often should I get my house and driveway washed in DFW?

It depends on shade, trees, pollen, irrigation, and how fast buildup returns. Many homeowners do a full exterior once a year — often in spring before the summer heat bakes everything on — and spot-clean driveways or windows more often. We can recommend an interval after seeing your property.

Do I need to be home?

Not usually. For most jobs we need confirmed access to the service areas and a working exterior water source. We confirm gate, pet, parking, and communication details before the appointment.

Are you licensed and insured?

We're fully insured with proof available on request before any job starts. We're also veteran-owned and operated, based right here in Carrollton. (Texas doesn't issue a universal statewide pressure-washing license, so insurance and proof of work quality are what matter — and we stand behind both.)
