Pressure washing is a quick, effective method to clean exterior surfaces. It will eliminate stains, organic debris and mold from vinyl, brick, wood and even shingles.
Whether it’s your house or property, power washing can immediately improve the appearance of your exterior.
Pressure washing is an inexpensive process to give a home better curb appeal, without remodeling. But a lot of homeowners never schedule these services since they believe they are too costly or not necessarily worth the price.
Let’s look at the usual cost of power washing so you won’t be one of those homeowners that doesn’t understand the value of this service.
A pressure washing company in Cary is going to bill you by the hour or depending on the size of the home. Sometimes, a local company may provide flat rates for their jobs. This simplifies their pricing, but it is not the standard.
Average costs of pressure washing may vary slightly across the country, but they should be pretty standardized throughout Cary.
This cleaning process works well on most household surfaces, so we’ll cover the average price of pressure washing by the type of surface to be cleaned.
The cost for homes or residential buildings and small offices or storefronts is between $0.30 and $0.70 per square foot of surface area, with the mean cost being $0.45 per square foot. This puts the average price near $225 for a small home, although this price can easily be increased depending on the size of your house.
Wood is softer than vinyl, concrete, brick and other building materials, so you need to be careful not to be rough on it. This is a case where hiring a professional for deck cleaning or for patio cleaning is less risky than trying to do the job on your own. Prepare to pay between $150 and $250 for most wood decks and patios in Cary.
Did you know your home’s roof can be pressure washed? Like with wood, it requires special knowledge and skills to protect delicate shingles – although other roofing materials, like tin, can handle high pressure washing. The Cary power washing service you choose will have different accessories for their sprayers to accommodate the type of roof on your house. Pressure washing a roof runs anywhere between $250 and $600.
Vinyl and wood fencing will develop mildew over time, and mud and dirt clings to these surfaces. For $175 to $300, you can have fences power washed so they look like new.
Concrete is easy to power wash, and it is a very quick way to eliminate stains. You can pay as little as $0.08 per square foot for pressure washing a driveway, or up to $0.35 for power washing sidewalks with professional grade concrete detergent.
AsLike we said, the cost of power washing can vary based on a lot of different factors. Here are a few of the factors that can impact the price of your pressure washing service:
Before you hire a company or Cary pressure washing service, ask around to see which service friends and friends or family may have hired in the past. You’ll likely get very good recommendations.
From there, it’s important to get estimates from 2-3 local companies. Any more than that might be too much information, but you don’t want to trust just one company for an accurate estimate.
After you get the final estimates, one company may be priced by the hour and another one by the job. Sometimes this can be confusing and hard to compare, so it’s important to ask questions like “How long do you think the service will take?” This type of question will help you better compare estimates that are priced using different factors.
Don’t forget that cost is just one factor in your decision. You might see a range of prices in all of the estimates that you ask for, but it isn’t always the best to choose the lowest priced service. Look deeper to determine if this is a promotional price or if the company prices its service lower for some other reason.
As soon as you have considered the price vs. other factors like reviews and guarantees, you can make an educated choice about the best company to perform your pressure washing services.
