The cost of pressure washing or power washing depends on several factors, including the size of the area, the type of surface being cleaned, and the level of buildup from dirt, algae, mold, or stains.
🔹 House Washing – Pricing varies based on square footage under roof, number of stories, and exterior material (stucco, vinyl, Hardie board, etc.).
🔹 Roof Cleaning – Factors include roof pitch, total square footage (including garages and patios), and whether gutter runoff management is needed.
🔹 Driveway Cleaning – Pricing depends on driveway size (single-car, two-car, three-car+), surface type (concrete vs. pavers), and any required stain treatments.
💧 Additional Services:
🛢️ Oil Stain Removal – Requires specialized treatment (minimum charge applies).
🧴 Rust Stain Removal – Custom pricing based on severity.
🌿 Gutter Brightening – Removes oxidation stains for a fresh look.

Yes. At Sunshine AquaWash, we use cleaning solutions that are both highly effective and applied in an environmentally responsible way. Our primary solution is sodium hypochlorite (SH), the industry standard for safely removing algae, mold, and mildew from exterior surfaces.
We take extra steps to ensure plant and property protection, including:
Diluting SH to the proper percentage for each surface.
Pre-wetting and rinsing plants and landscaping before, during, and after treatment.
Redirecting or bagging gutter downspouts to minimize runoff.
Using neutralizers where needed to safeguard your lawn and garden.
This approach allows us to deliver a deep, long-lasting clean while protecting your home, landscaping, and the environment.

While renting a pressure washer may seem like a cost-effective option, DIY pressure washing comes with risks:
💧 Risk of Surface Damage – Many homeowners use too much pressure, which can etch concrete, strip paint, and damage siding, wood, or roofing materials. Our team uses the correct pressure and soft washing techniques to clean surfaces safely.
🦠 Ineffective Mold & Algae Removal – Store-bought pressure washers only remove surface dirt but don’t kill algae, mold, or mildew at the root. Our biodegradable cleaning solutions eliminate organic growth for long-lasting results.
💰 Hidden Rental Costs – Renting a pressure washer can cost $75–$150 per day, plus detergent and fuel. Many homeowners spend more money and time than expected. Our services are affordable, efficient, and hassle-free.
⚡ Safety Hazards – Pressure washers spray water at 2,000+ PSI, which can cause serious injury if misused. Our technicians are trained to handle high-powered equipment safely.
🚀 Professional Equipment & Results – We use commercial-grade pressure washers, surface cleaners, and soft wash systems that outperform rental units. We get the job done right the first time!
If you want professional, damage-free, long-lasting results, hiring Sunshine AquaWash is the best choice. Contact us today for a free quote!
