Our 2026 Starting Prices At A Glance

- House washing — starting at $350. A full soft wash of your home's exterior: stucco, vinyl, or hardie siding, soffits, fascia, exterior gutters, garage doors, entry doors, window frames, and a low-pressure rinse of the windows. Algae and mildew are killed at the root, not just rinsed off the surface. - Driveway cleaning — $200 minimum. Commercial surface cleaning of a standard residential driveway, walkways, and trash pad at the correct pressure for concrete, with rust, oil, and organic staining treated with the right chemistry for each problem. - Roof cleaning — starting at $0.22 per square foot. Soft wash only, per ARMA guidance: low pressure under 100 PSI with a properly diluted sodium hypochlorite blend that kills gloeocapsa magma (the black algae streaks), mold, and mildew at the spore level. Never high pressure on a roof — no exceptions. - Lanai and pool cage cleaning — starting at $250. Screens, cage frame, kickplates, the pavers or concrete inside the cage, and the back of the house. - Paver sealing — starting at $1.50 per square foot. The complete four-step process: deep clean, joint stabilization with polymeric sand, full dry-down, and two coats of premium high-solids sealer in matte, semi-gloss, or wet-look.

Why We Publish Real Prices When Most Competitors Hide Theirs

Most pressure washing companies in Bradenton and Sarasota won't print a number anywhere. There's a reason: teaser pricing. A "$99 driveway special" gets the truck in your driveway, and then the upsell begins — rust is extra, the back patio is extra, "that stain needs specialty treatment" is extra. By the time the invoice matches reality, you've paid more than an honest quote would have cost, and you had no way to compare bids because nobody gave you a real one.

We do the opposite. The numbers above are real price floors for a properly done job, and we put them in writing. When we quote, we walk the property or review photos, measure the actual surfaces, identify the stains that need specialty chemistry, and give you one itemized price. The quote is the price. No day-of upcharges, no surprise line items.

What Your Price Actually Includes

Anyone can rent a machine from a home improvement store and call it pressure washing. Here is what separates a professional result — and what every dollar in our quotes covers:

- Commercial-grade equipment. Multiple Honda-powered units running 2,800–4,400 PSI, 20–30 inch rotary surface cleaners that produce an even, stripe-free finish, and dedicated soft-wash rigs for roofs and house exteriors. Surface cleaning with the right tool is the difference between a uniform bright driveway and the zebra striping you see on amateur work. - Professional-grade chemistry, correctly dosed. Sodium hypochlorite at the proper dilution for biological growth, commercial degreasers with real dwell time for oil, oxalic-based treatments for rust, and premium high-solids sealer for pavers. We match the product to the problem instead of turning up the pressure — pressure is not a cleaning chemical. - Full property and plant protection. Pre-wetting all landscaping, covering electrical outlets and light fixtures, protecting screens, and a full post-rinse of shrubs, turf, and pool areas on every single job. This is built into our price, never an upgrade. - A fully insured, full-time crew. $2 million in general liability insurance plus workers' compensation on every technician. We've been a licensed Florida business since 2019 and have served 2,000+ customers across Manatee and Sarasota counties. - Documentation. Before-and-after photos delivered by text within 24 hours, so you can see exactly what was done.

What Changes The Price On Any Given Job

Starting prices assume a clean, well-maintained property of average size. The final number moves with five factors: total square footage, surface condition (a neglected driveway with heavy rust or red Florida clay staining takes three to four times the labor), accessibility (two-story homes, tight side gates, detached garages), the specialty chemistry a particular stain requires, and drying time between stages. We quote the real number up front in writing — so if the price comes back higher than the floor, you'll know exactly why before you commit.

House Washing: What The $350 Starting Price Covers

The $350 starting price covers a full soft wash of a single-story home up to roughly 2,000 square feet of exterior wall surface. We never blast stucco or paint — house washing is done with low pressure and an algae-killing solution, which is what keeps Florida stucco and painted surfaces clean for 12–18 months inland and 18–24 months near the coast, instead of the few weeks you get from a high-pressure rinse. Two-story homes, heavy green mildew on shaded north walls, and detached structures scale the price from there, and we itemize every line so you can see what each adds.

Driveway Cleaning: Why There Is A $200 Minimum

Some companies quote a $99 driveway and you get what you pay for. Our $200 minimum exists because the job still requires the full process no matter how small the surface: setup and pre-treatment, chemical application with proper dwell time, commercial surface cleaning, hand-detailing of the edges, expansion joints, and transitions, plant protection, and complete cleanup. Skipping those steps is exactly how you end up with wand stripes, missed corners, and regrowth in six weeks. The minimum is the honest cost of doing the job completely — and a standard two-car driveway with walkways is usually right at or near it.

Roof Cleaning: Why We Price Per Square Foot

Roofs are measured by actual roof area, not by guesswork. At $0.22 per square foot, a typical 2,000 square foot single-story roof starts around $440, and heavier algae growth, steeper pitches, two-story access, and tile roofs needing walk-pad protection move the price up from there. The reason we insist on soft washing rather than pressure washing isn't preference — it's physics. High pressure strips granules off shingles and lifts tile, which shortens roof life and can void the manufacturer's warranty. Soft washing kills the organism at the spore level, so results hold 4–6 years versus the 12–18 months you get from pressure-rinsed surface staining. Our roof washes are ARMA-compliant, safe for shingle and tile, and we'll turn down a job before we'll ever pressure wash a roof.

Paver Sealing: Why It Starts At $1.50 Per Square Foot

Paver sealing is priced per square foot because it's the most labor- and material-intensive service we offer: deep clean, kill the mildew, replace the polymeric joint sand, allow a full dry-down, then apply two coats of premium sealer. We never seal damp pavers — it hazes the finish — so most paver projects span two visits, and we won't rush that. A cheap, single-coat sealer sprayed over dirty pavers fails in a year and has to be stripped before it can be redone. A premium seal applied correctly holds up 3–4 years in full Florida sun. A typical 600 square foot paver patio or pool deck runs $900–$1,500 all-in including cleaning.

The Real Cost Of The Cheapest Quote

We wrote a whole article about the $300 mistake homeowners make, but here's the short version of what cheap work actually costs:

- A pressure-washed roof loses granules, voids warranty coverage, and grows its black streaks back within 12–18 months because pressure rinses staining but never kills the spores underneath. - A single-coat sealer sprayed over dirty pavers traps mildew under the film, hazes in the sun, and has to be stripped and redone — paying for the same job twice. - A high-pressure wand on stucco leaves etching lines and blew-in water damage that shows up months later as crack patterns. - An operator with no insurance drops a ladder through your lanai screen or kills your landscaping with overspray, and their $99 invoice comes with no one to file a claim against. - A rushed clean comes back in six weeks. A proper one holds 12–18 months or more.

Doing It Right The First Time Saves Money — And Stress

Here is the math nobody shows you. Suppose a "cheap" crew cleans your house wash and driveway for $250 and the results visibly fade in four months. A proper soft wash from a professional crew costs more up front, but it holds 12–18 months. Over five years, the cheap cycle means 10–12 repeat bookings, repeated scheduling headaches, repeated workers on your property, and the constant low-grade stress of watching your home get dirty again two seasons after every clean. The correctly-done cycle means two or three services in five years, a home that looks maintained between them, and zero re-dos.

Doing it right the first time is also about protection, not just appearance. Roof algae literally eats shingles. Mildew holds moisture against stucco. Unsealed pavers lose their joint sand every rainy season and shift. The small premium for doing it properly is almost always less than one repair bill from doing it wrong.

Bundles And Maintenance Plans Save The Most

Most customers save the most by bundling — a whole-home wash combining the roof, house wash, driveway, walkways, and lanai typically runs 15–20% less than booking the services individually. And customers on our annual or twice-yearly maintenance plans lock in priority scheduling and a recurring discount, so surfaces never get back to the hard-restoration state that costs the most to recover from.
