What Factors Affect Your Quote
- **Square footage** — more surface area = more time, more solution, more labor
- **Condition** — a home not cleaned in 3 years takes longer than one done 12 months ago
- **Two stories** — expect 15-25% more than a comparable single-story
- **Access** — tight side yards, landscaping, or parked cars add time
- **Surface type** — stucco and EIFS require slower, more careful technique
- **Add-on services** — windows, paver sealing, gutter cleaning
Red Flags on Pricing
**Suspiciously low quotes.** A whole house wash for $75 or $100 is not a deal — it's a signal. No insurance, diluted chemicals, or a residential pressure washer that won't actually clean anything.
**Quotes without seeing the property.** A reliable quote requires knowing the square footage, stories, surface type, and condition.
**No certificate of insurance.** Ask before you book. If they can't produce one, move on.
**Pressure washing everything with high pressure.** Siding, stucco, and painted surfaces should never be high-pressure washed. If a company doesn't mention soft wash for siding, they don't know what they're doing.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
1. Have your home's square footage ready
2. Know your siding type (vinyl, Hardie, stucco, painted wood)
3. Note how long since the last cleaning
4. Request a written quote that itemizes each service
