I get asked this every week. Sometimes by a homeowner shopping three quotes, sometimes by a neighbor over the fence, sometimes by my own family. There’s no single number, but there is a real range. And after fifteen years working houses across South Jersey, I can tell you exactly where the math comes from.
Quick answer
For a typical 2,000 sq ft house in South Jersey, professional pressure washing runs $300 to $650for a full house wash. Driveway-only jobs are $125–$275. Gutter cleaning is $150–$375. Paver sealing is $400–$2,200 depending on size. Every number on this page is a South Jersey market estimate. Your firm quote always comes from a free 15-minute walk-through at your house. No two homes are exactly the same.
Below is the full breakdown by service. The ranges are real market numbers from South Jersey. They come from my own jobs, from published competitor pricing (Greenway publishes $325 to $650 on their site), and from the going rate across Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties. Every quote I give is firm after a free 15-minute walk-through. Whatever I quote is what you pay. Turning dirty into done right means no surprise charges after the wand turns off.
What you’ll pay to pressure wash a 2,000 sq ft house
For most South Jersey homeowners with a 2,000 square foot house, professional pressure washing costs between $300 and $650. Your actual price depends on several variables, including your location, the condition of your exterior, and what surfaces need cleaning. Here’s a breakdown of typical pricing for a single-visit residential job:
| Service tier | Price range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic exterior wash | $300 – $400 | Siding and basic surfaces. Soft-wash for vinyl, fiber-cement, or painted wood |
| Complete house wash | $400 – $525 | Siding, trim, soffit, fascia, gutter exteriors, shutters, doors |
| Premium full-exterior | $525 – $700 | Everything above plus bundled driveway, walkway, or window cleaning |
Estimates only. These are typical South Jersey market ranges. Your firm quote comes from the free 15-minute walk-through. Every home is different.
What changes the price
The number isn’t arbitrary. Every quote I write moves up or down based on six things:
- Home sizeSquare footage and story count. A two-story colonial takes longer than a single-story rancher.
- Surface conditionLight dirt washes off fast. Heavy algae, mildew, or oxidation needs longer chemistry dwell time.
- Surface typeVinyl + soft-wash is fastest. Brick, stone, and aged paint need more care and more time.
- Landscaping accessTight beds, mature shrubs, and steep slopes add prep and cleanup time.
- What you’re bundlingAdding a driveway or windows to an already-scheduled house wash is roughly half what it costs separately.
- Two-story trim workReaching gable peaks, second-story fascia, and high gutters takes more time and gear.
Cost by service: real South Jersey ranges
Here’s what jobs typically run in South Jersey, in tiered ranges. These are market numbers I check against every quarter. Each service has its own page with more detail on scope, process, and project examples. See all 8 services if you want the full picture.
A note on every table below
All prices on this page are estimates based on the South Jersey market. They’re intentionally wide because no two homes are the same. Story count, surface condition, landscaping access, and what you bundle together all move the number. The only firm quote you’ll get from me comes after a free 15-minute walk-through at your house. Once I give you that number, it doesn’t change.
House washing (soft-wash)
Soft-washing is what your siding actually needs. Low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills algae and mildew at the surface, not a high-pressure blast that strips paint or forces water behind trim. Pricing scales with home size and what trim work is included.
| Tier | Price range | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Single-story (under 1,500 sq ft) | $275 – $400 | Siding only |
| Two-story average (1,500–2,500 sq ft) | $400 – $575 | Siding + trim + soffit + gutter exteriors |
| Large or detailed (2,500+ sq ft) | $575 – $850 | Above plus shutters, fascia detail, and complex peaks |
Estimate only. Your real number for house washing comes from the free 15-minute walk-through.
Concrete & driveway cleaning
This is where pressure actually belongs. Concrete and driveway cleaning uses a rotary surface cleaner that produces an even pass. No zebra-stripes from a wand. Pricing scales with square footage and bay count.
| Job | Price range | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Single-bay driveway | $125 – $200 | One car-width driveway, light soiling |
| Double-bay driveway | $175 – $275 | Two-car-width driveway |
| Driveway + walkway | $225 – $325 | Driveway plus front walk to door |
| Driveway + walkway + patio | $325 – $475 | Full hardscape pass |
Estimate only. Your real number for concrete and driveway cleaning comes from the free 15-minute walk-through.
Gutter cleaning (interior debris + flush)
Gutter cleaning is the inside-the-gutter job. Pulling out leaves, sticks, and sediment, then flushing the downspouts so water actually moves. Pricing scales with story count and total linear feet.
| Job | Price range | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Single-story home | $125 – $200 | All gutters cleared + downspout flush |
| Two-story home | $200 – $325 | All gutters + downspouts + visual inspection for damage |
| Two-story + downspout extensions | $275 – $375 | Above plus underground drain check where accessible |
Estimate only. Your real number for gutter cleaning comes from the free 15-minute walk-through.
Gutter brightening (the exterior face)
Different service from cleaning. Gutter brightening removes the tiger-stripeoxidation that streaks down aluminum gutter fronts after a few years of weather. The industry term is brightening, not whitening. It’s a chemical process, not paint.
| Job | Price range | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Single-story home | $175 – $275 | All exterior gutter faces, light oxidation |
| Two-story home | $250 – $400 | All exterior gutter faces, moderate oxidation |
| Add-on to house wash | $125 – $200 | When bundled in the same visit |
Estimate only. Your real number for gutter brightening comes from the free 15-minute walk-through.
Paver sealing & sanding
The step most pressure washers skip. With paver sealing and sanding, the joint sand between pavers gets replaced (polymeric sand for stability) and a sealant goes down to lock everything in. Done right, this lasts 3 to 5 years and prevents weeds and shifting.
| Job | Price range | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Small patio (under 200 sq ft) | $400 – $650 | Clean + re-sand + seal |
| Standard patio (200–400 sq ft) | $650 – $1,100 | Clean + re-sand + seal |
| Driveway-size (400–800 sq ft) | $1,100 – $2,200 | Clean + re-sand + seal; larger areas by quote |
Estimate only. Your real number for paver sealing and sanding comes from the free 15-minute walk-through.
Deck restoration
Deck restoration needs soft-wash chemistry, not a pressure blast. Then a brightener evens out the wood tone. Then, if you want it, a stain or sealant. I price each step so you can choose how deep you want to go.
| Job | Price range | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Soft wash + brighten | $225 – $400 | Clean the surface, restore the wood tone |
| Soft wash + brighten + seal | $450 – $850 | Adds a clear sealant for moisture protection |
| Add stain or solid finish | + $150 – $400 | On top of the above, depending on stain choice and deck size |
Estimate only. Your real number for deck restoration comes from the free 15-minute walk-through.
Window cleaning
Window cleaning pairs perfectly with a house wash. Soft-wash chemistry hits the siding, water-fed pole or ladder work hits the glass. Pricing scales with window count, story count, and whether interiors are included.
| Job | Price range | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior only (small/medium home) | $125 – $225 | All exterior windows |
| Interior + exterior | $225 – $375 | Both sides, standard residential count |
| Add screens, tracks, sills | + $50 – $125 | Optional add-on per visit |
Estimate only. Your real number for window cleaning comes from the free 15-minute walk-through.
Rust removal
Rust removal is chemistry, not pressure. A high-pressure blast just spreads it. I use a rust-specific cleaning agent that reacts with the iron oxide and lifts the stain. Works on driveways, siding, fertilizer streaks, and well-water stains.
| Job | Price range | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Spot treatment | $75 – $150 | A single stain on driveway or siding |
| Driveway full pass | $125 – $275 | Whole driveway, multiple stains |
| Well-water or specialty stains | By quote | Larger jobs or unusual chemistry. Quoted at the walk-through. |
Estimate only. Your real number for rust removal comes from the free 15-minute walk-through.
Why pricing varies across South Jersey
The same job costs slightly different in different towns. Here’s what I’ve seen across my service area:
Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Moorestown. These tend to be on the higher end of every range. Bigger homes, more landscaping, and the established competitors (Greenway publishes $325 to $650 for a Cherry Hill house wash) anchor the market there.
Merchantville, Cinnaminson, Maple Shade, Delran. Older, denser neighborhoods with more single-story and split-level homes. Most house washes here land in the $325–$475 band.
Mt Laurel, Medford, Evesham (Marlton). Newer developments with mid-to-large homes and HOA-grade landscaping. Mid-range pricing, often with a driveway or paver patio bundled in.
Sussex County DE (Millsboro, Georgetown).I work a few addresses down there tied to my second job. Pricing is similar to South Jersey, but I batch DE trips so the travel doesn’t add to your quote.
How I quote a job
Every quote is free, and every quote is firm after the walk-through. Here’s how it goes:
- You reach out.Call (267) 235-1885 or fill out the contact form. I get back within two hours during business hours, usually faster.
- 15-minute walk-through.I come to the house, look at every surface you want cleaned, and ask about anything I see. Landscaping, water access, problem stains.
- Firm number on the spot.No “we’ll get back to you,” no later surprise. The number I quote is the number you pay, unless we add scope mid-job (which is rare, and only with your okay).
- Scheduled and done.Most house washes are a half-day. Bigger jobs like deck restoration or paver sealing can run a full day or two. I’m on-site for every minute of it.
Common questions about pricing
Why do I see lower prices online than the ranges in this post?
Two reasons. First, some quotes are 'driveway-only' or 'house-only' and the cheap number doesn't include trim, soffit, gutters, or windows. Those are what most homeowners actually want done. Second, some operators undercut to win the job and then add charges later. My quote covers everything I'll touch, and what I quote is what you pay.
Are these ranges firm or just a starting point?
They're real South Jersey market ranges. Your actual price depends on home size, surface condition, surrounding landscaping, accessibility, and how many surfaces you bundle. I quote a firm number after a free 15-minute walk-through. No surprises after.
Do bundles save money?
Yes. If I'm already at your house with the equipment set up, adding a driveway, walkway, or set of windows is roughly half what it would cost as a separate visit. Most of my customers bundle siding plus at least one other surface.
Do you charge by the hour or by the job?
By the job. I quote a fixed number after the walk-through. If a job takes longer than I planned, that's on me, not you. Fifteen years of doing this means I can almost always estimate accurately.
Will you match a competitor's quote?
I'll listen to it. If their quote includes the same scope, surfaces, and prep work as mine, sometimes I can match. If it's a lowball that skips prep, soft-wash chemistry, or landscape protection, I won't. That's how houses get damaged.
