Most Denver homeowners pay somewhere between $400 and $700 to pressure wash a house exterior, and around $160 to $290for a driveway. “A house” covers a lot of ground, though, so here's what actually moves that number.
Typical Denver pressure washing prices
These are 2026 metro ranges for professional work. Treat them as a starting point, not a final number.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Whole house exterior (1,500–2,000 sq ft) | $400–$700 |
| Driveway (about 40×20 ft) | $160–$290 |
| Deck or patio (around 200 sq ft) | $70–$110 |
| By the square foot | $0.10–$0.50 |
Ranges reflect Denver-area market data; your actual price depends on the factors below.
What actually changes the price
Two quotes for the same size house can land pretty far apart. The price isn't really about the square footage, it's about the surface and what's on it.
Size and stories
More square footage and more height mean more time and more equipment. A single-story ranch and a two-story with tall gables are different jobs, even at the same square footage.
The surface
Concrete handles real pressure. Siding, stucco, and roofs don't. Those get a soft wash where detergent does the actual cleaning and pressure handles the rinse. The surface sets the method, and the method affects the time.
What's on it
This is the big one. Plain dirt rinses off easily. Oil and grease need a degreaser. Mold, algae, and moss need the right solution to actually kill the growth, not just rinse it. Rust, gum, and graffiti each take their own treatment. The same driveway costs more with an oil stain than without one.
Access and condition
Steep grades, tight side yards, and a decade of buildup all add time. A surface that gets cleaned once a year is a different job than one that hasn't been touched since the house was built.
Why we ask for a few photos.The fastest way to an accurate number is to see the surface and what's on it. That's why our quote form asks for photos. It's how we quote it right the first time, in one business day, with no surprises on the invoice.
Why the cheapest quote usually isn't the cheapest
Pressure washing looks simple until someone etches your concrete, strips the finish off your deck, or forces water behind your siding. It happens. The wrong pressure on the wrong surface costs far more to fix than the wash cost to begin with. A low bid usually means rushing, skipping the right detergent, or running too much pressure to make up time.
We're not the cheapest option in Denver. Soft wash on the surfaces that need it, the right detergent, real pressure only where it's safe, and enough time booked to do it right. That's the job. You get a clean that holds and a house that isn't worse off for it.
