Figures cover the Fresno metro area. Expect the top of each range for tall homes, tight access and heavy mildew, and the bottom for clean one-story homes with easy access.
Pressure washing prices across Fresno
Where the house sits changes the job. Tight lots and paid parking in Downtown & Tower District slow a crew down; bigger homes in areas like Clovis & the north cost more in total but less per square foot.
Downtown & Tower District
- House wash
- $400–$680 per job
- Driveway wash
- $130–$480 / driveway wash
Townhomes, condos and tight lots mean less room to set up, paid parking and more hose to run. Ask whether the price covers carrying gear up stairs or through a gate.
Southwest & Southeast Fresno
- House wash
- $360–$620 per job
- Driveway wash
- $120–$440 / driveway wash
Older homes with painted wood siding need a gentle soft wash, not high pressure. Expect prices near the city typical, a little higher for tall, narrow houses.
Central & Northeast Fresno
- House wash
- $340–$580 per job
- Driveway wash
- $120–$420 / driveway wash
Close to the city typical. Ask the crew to cover plants and to rinse them after a soft wash; it's part of a good job.
Clovis & the north
- House wash
- $320–$640 per job
- Driveway wash
- $120–$420 / driveway wash
The extra cost usually comes from size: a second story, a big deck or a long fence.
Real-world pressure washing costs in Fresno
Here's what common pressure washing jobs cost in Fresno in 2026, labor and cleaning solution included.
Single-story house, siding and trim
The most common job: a soft wash of the walls, eaves and trim of a one-story home up to about 1,500 sq ft, for $180–$500. If your home is small and close to clean, expect a quote near the $100–$250 minimum.
Two-story house plus the driveway
A two-story wash ($350–$1,000) plus a 2-car driveway ($130–$400) adds up to $480–$1,400. A full exterior package (house, driveway and walks) runs $550–$1,200, with one trip and one minimum charge.
Driveway, front walk and an oil stain
Driveway ($130–$400), front walk ($50–$100) and one oil or rust spot treated ($25–$150) come to $205–$650. Sealing afterward is extra, at $0.40–$2.10 a sq ft.
Wood deck washed and re-sealed
A wash alone is $130–$500. Washing and then staining or sealing about 300 sq ft runs $550–$1,500, because the stain and the extra labor cost more than the wash.
Roof soft wash plus gutter brightening
A roof soft wash ($350–$1,000) removes the black streaks of algae; gutter brightening ($100–$330) takes the gray stripes off the outside of the gutters. Together: $450–$1,330.
How much does pressure washing cost in Fresno?
Expect $400 for a typical 2,000 sq ft Fresno house wash, and anywhere from $250 to $750 depending on stories, siding and how much mildew is on the walls. Clean, one-story vinyl sits at the low end; tall homes with heavy growth go past $750.
Flat surfaces cost less. A 2-car driveway runs $130–$400, a patio $100–$400, and a front walk adds $50–$100 to a driveway job. Prices re-checked against 65 sources in November 2026.
Pressure washing prices in Fresno (2026) by job
A 2,000 sq ft house wash runs $250–$750, a 2-car driveway $130–$400, and a roof soft wash $350–$1,000.
| Line on the quote | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| House wash, single story | $180 | $300 | $500 |
| House wash, about 2,000 sq ft | $250 | $400 | $750 |
| House wash, two stories | $350 | $550 | $1,000 |
| Driveway, 2-car | $130 | $230 | $400 |
| Patio | $100 | $200 | $400 |
| Wood deck wash | $130 | $250 | $500 |
| Fence, 100 linear ft | $150 | $250 | $450 |
| Roof soft wash | $350 | $600 | $1,000 |
The $150 minimum charge is the line to watch. A small driveway or a single patio can come in at the minimum on its own, so add the walk ($50–$100) or patio ($100–$400) while the crew is there.
What moves a pressure washing quote in Fresno:
- Size and stories: a single-story home runs $180–$500; three stories or 4,000+ sq ft $550–$1,500.
- Siding type: brick or stucco runs $280–$700 for 2,000 sq ft, against $250–$750 for a typical house.
- How dirty it is: heavy mildew, algae or rust stains need more solution and dwell time; a stain spot alone is $25–$150.
- Access: steep slopes, tight side yards and no nearby spigot add time; labor runs $50–$150 an hour.
- Add-ons: driveway $130–$400, deck $130–$500, fence $150–$450, roof $350–$1,000.
Ask every Fresno company the same four things: the method for each surface, what's included (eaves, gutters, windows), how they protect plants and outlets, and what happens if a stain won't come out. Compare those, not just the headline. Get a quote for your house wash →
Pressure washing cost in Fresno by house size
A single-story home up to about 1,500 sq ft is $180–$500, a 2,000 sq ft house $250–$750, a two-story of 2,500–3,000 sq ft $350–$1,000, and three stories or 4,000+ sq ft $550–$1,500 in Fresno.
Worked example: a two-story home at $550 plus a 2-car driveway at $230 and a front walk at $75 comes to $855 at typical Fresno prices. Ask for a full exterior package price too (about $800 typical) and pick the lower total.
Set-up, travel and the minimum charge cost about the same for any job, which is why a small one-story home costs more per square foot than a big one. Per square foot of home, a house wash runs about $0.12–$0.38.
Fresno pressure washing jobs compared
| Job type | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| House soft wash (low pressure plus cleaning solution) | $250–$750 per job | Vinyl, fiber cement, stucco, painted wood and brick walls |
| Driveway and concrete pressure wash | $130–$400 per job | Concrete driveways, walks and patios with dirt, mildew or tire marks |
| Roof soft wash | $350–$1,000 per job | Black algae streaks and moss on asphalt shingle or tile roofs |
| Deck or fence wash | $130–$500 per job | Gray or green wood before staining, or just to brighten it |
| Wash and seal (deck) | $550–$1,500 per job | Wood decks that are dry, faded or due for new stain |
| Full exterior package | $550–$1,200 per job | House, driveway and walks done in one visit |
Per-square-foot price vs the full bill in Fresno
Some companies quote by the square foot of the home: $0.12–$0.38 a sq ft in Fresno, or $240–$760 for a 2,000 sq ft house, in line with the whole-house price of $250–$750. The rate alone hides the extras, though: second stories, heavy mildew and add-ons like the driveway ($130–$400) are where quotes differ.
Concrete works the same way: $0.15–$0.50 a sq ft is $75–$250 for 500 sq ft, but many companies have a minimum of about $100–$250. Small areas cost the minimum, not the per-foot math.
What's included in a Fresno pressure washing quote (and what costs extra)
A standard house wash covers the siding, trim, eaves and soffits, front door and garage door, with plants and outlets protected and everything rinsed. It usually leaves out:
- The driveway and walks: $130–$400 for a 2-car driveway, plus $50–$100 for the walk
- Gutter face brightening: $100–$330 to take the gray stripes off the outside of the gutters
- Stain treatment: $25–$150 per oil, rust or clay spot on concrete
- The roof: a separate soft wash at $350–$1,000
Ask whether windows get a rinse only or a proper clean, and get any damage policy and the company's insurance in writing.
Size and number of stories
Bigger homes take longer, and second and third stories need taller ladders or longer wands. A single-story home runs $180–$500, a two-story $350–$1,000.
Siding material
A brick or stucco house of 2,000 sq ft runs $280–$700. Painted wood needs a gentle soft wash, because high pressure can make paint crack and flake.
Mildew, algae and stains
Green or black growth on shaded walls needs a cleaning solution and time to work. Oil, rust or clay stains on concrete cost $25–$150 a spot to treat.
Method: soft wash or pressure wash
Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution, at about $0.12–$0.38 a sq ft of home. High pressure is for concrete and brick paving, at about $0.15–$0.50 a sq ft of surface.
Access and water
Steep yards, tight side gates, plants close to the wall and no outdoor spigot all slow a crew down. Labor runs about $50–$150 an hour.
Bundling and minimums
Small jobs hit a minimum of about $100–$250. A full exterior package (house, driveway and walks) runs $550–$1,200: one visit, one trip charge and one minimum.
Local labor
Fresno janitors and cleaners earn a median of about $18.26 an hour (BLS, May 2025), against $17.71 nationally. Our prices follow local cleaner pay, so the typical Fresno job is $400, close to the $400 national typical.
- Bundle surfaces in one visit.House, driveway and walks together run $550–$1,200. Booked one at a time you pay a trip and a minimum ($100–$250) for each.
- Send photos for a quote.Many companies quote from photos and the home's size. Get two or three quotes for the same list of surfaces so you can compare like with like.
- Book outside the busy months.Demand is higher in spring and summer, which can mean longer waits and higher prices. Ask about fall dates.
- Skip the roof if it isn't stained.A roof soft wash is a separate $350–$1,000 job. If there are no dark streaks or moss, you may not need it this year.
- Wash before you paint or stain, not twice.If you plan to stain a deck, book the wash and stain together ($550–$1,500) instead of a $130–$500 wash now and another one later.
- Do the small flat jobs yourself.A rented machine costs about $50–$175 a day. Driveways and patios are fair DIY jobs; leave siding, second stories and roofs to a pro.
Get these in writing from any Fresno company before you pay a deposit:
- Each surface listed: walls, eaves, trim, driveway, walks, deck, fence, roof
- The method for each one (soft wash or pressure wash) and the cleaning solution
- How plants, outlets, lights and windows are protected
- Whether gutters (outside face) and windows are included or extra
- Stain treatment: what's included and what's extra per spot

How much does it cost to pressure wash a house in Fresno?
$250–$750 for a 2,000 sq ft, one- or two-story house, with $400 typical. A single-story home runs $180–$500, and a two-story of 2,500–3,000 sq ft $350–$1,000.
How much does it cost to pressure wash a driveway in Fresno?
$130–$400 for a standard 2-car driveway, typically $230. A front walk adds $50–$100, and each oil or rust spot $25–$150.
What do Fresno pressure washers charge per square foot?
About $0.12–$0.38 a sq ft of home for a house wash and $0.15–$0.50 a sq ft for concrete. Many companies have a minimum of about $100–$250.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Fresno?
$350–$1,000 to soft wash an asphalt shingle roof of about 1,500–2,000 sq ft. A moss or lichen treatment adds $100–$250.
How much does it cost to pressure wash a deck in Fresno?
$130–$500 to wash a 300–500 sq ft wood deck. Washing and staining or sealing about 300 sq ft runs $550–$1,500.
How much does fence washing cost in Fresno?
$150–$450 for 100 linear ft of 6-ft privacy fence, one side. Both sides, or stained wood that needs care, cost more.
Is soft washing better than pressure washing for siding?
For most siding, yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills mildew and algae. High pressure can force water behind vinyl and make paint crack and flake.
How often should I have my house washed in Fresno?
Every one to two years for most homes, sooner on shaded walls that grow mildew or algae. Driveways and walks are often washed once a year.
Is it cheaper to rent a pressure washer in Fresno?
A rented machine costs about $50–$175 a day, so a driveway or patio is cheaper to do yourself. For siding, second stories and roofs, a pro with soft-wash gear is safer and usually worth the $400.
Can pressure washing water go down the storm drain in Fresno?
Often not. Many cities ban dirty wash water from storm drains, because many storm drains carry water to creeks, rivers or the ocean without treatment. San Diego's rule covers homeowners as well as contractors. A good crew blocks drains and sends water onto grass or planted ground that can soak it up.
