Quick answer
- House washing (soft wash): starts at $179 for a small single-story; most Nashville homes fall between $250 and $600.
- Concrete & driveway cleaning: $200–$700 depending on square footage and staining.
- Roof cleaning (soft wash): priced by roof size and how much algae, moss, and lichen is present.

- Pricing is based on square footage, surface type, and buildup — not hourly.

What makes a house washing quote go up or down?
- Square footage & storiesHeight means more equipment, more reach, and more time. Two-story homes sit at the upper end of every range.
- Siding materialVinyl is straightforward. Stucco, EIFS, and Hardie board require more care and specific solutions, which affects labor.
- How bad the buildup isA home washed 18 months ago cleans faster than one that hasn't been touched in eight years.
- OxidationChalky, faded vinyl needs a separate oxidation removal process with brushing and specialized cleaners — it is not included in a standard wash.
- AccessSteep grades, tight landscaping, and no nearby water spigot all add time.
Is cheap pressure washing worth it?
What a suspiciously cheap quote usually hides
- No liability insurance — if someone is injured on your property, that exposure becomes yours.
- High pressure on siding or roof — cheaper and faster, but it can strip shingle granules or force water behind siding.
- No warranty — if the algae returns in four months, that "cheap" wash just became the expensive one.
- Bait pricing — a low number on the phone that climbs once they're in your driveway.
"The cheapest quote and the most expensive lesson are usually the same phone call. Damaged siding costs more to replace than a lifetime of doing it right."
What's included in a Southern Solution quote?
Prep is part of the price, not an add-on: we seal exterior outlets, doorbell cameras, and light fixtures, and pre-soak landscaping before any solution is applied. Before-and-after photos come with every wash.
The cost of waiting
Middle Tennessee humidity grows algae and mildew that feed on paint and siding. Left long enough, that growth causes permanent discoloration on vinyl, stucco, and wood — and no wash can reverse staining that's already set.
12–24 monthsis the typical re-clean window here. Staying on that schedule costs far less than restoring damage.

Pressure washing cost FAQ
How much does it cost to pressure wash a house in Nashville?
House washing in Nashville starts at around $179 for a small single-story home, and most homes fall between $250 and $600. The final price depends on square footage, the number of stories, the siding material, and how much algae and mildew has built up.
How much does it cost to pressure wash a driveway in Nashville?
Concrete and driveway cleaning in Nashville typically costs between $200 and $700. Price is based on total square footage and how much oil, rust, and algae staining is present rather than on an hourly rate.
Why are some pressure washing quotes so much cheaper?
Unusually low quotes usually mean the company carries no liability insurance, uses high-pressure shortcuts that can damage siding and roofs, or offers no warranty on the work. A fair itemized quote that includes prep and a warranty is worth more than the lowest number.
Is pressure washing priced by the hour or by square foot?
Professional pressure washing is priced by the job, based primarily on square footage, surface type, and the severity of buildup. Hourly pricing gives homeowners no way to compare quotes and no protection if a job runs long.
Does house washing include removing oxidation from vinyl siding?
No, oxidation removal is a separate service that typically runs $1.00 to $1.35 per square foot. Removing the chalky oxidized layer requires specialized cleaners and gentle brush agitation, which is a more labor-intensive process than a standard soft wash.
Can I save money by bundling multiple services?
Yes. Because much of a job's cost is setup, travel, and equipment staging rather than cleaning time, combining services such as a house wash, driveway, and gutter cleaning on a single visit lowers the cost per service compared to booking them separately.
