“How much do you charge?” It’s the first question almost every Louisville homeowner asks us, and it’s a fair one. Nobody likes calling around for quotes and getting a different runaround every time. So here’s the real, straight-up answer — not a sales pitch, just what actually goes into pricing a job.
It Depends on Your Property, Not a Flat Rate
I wish I could just give you one number and call it a day, but the truth is your driveway isn’t the same as your neighbor’s, and your house isn’t either. A few things move the price up or down:
- How big the area is. A small back patio is a quick job. A full two-story house exterior takes a lot more time and product.
- What it’s made of. Brick, vinyl siding, wood, and concrete all clean differently. Vinyl siding, for example, needs a gentler soft wash instead of straight pressure, or you risk damaging it.
- How dirty it actually is. If it’s been a few years since your house has been washed, there’s usually more mold, algae, and buildup to deal with — that adds time.
- How easy it is to get to. Tight side yards, a lot of landscaping to work around, or a second story all factor in.
What Louisville Homeowners Typically Pay
Based on the jobs we run around the Louisville area, here’s roughly what you can expect:
- Driveways and walkways: usually falls in the low hundreds, depending on size
- Decks and patios: a bit more, since we’re often treating and protecting the wood or surface, not just spraying it down
- House washing: this is where soft washing comes in, and pricing depends heavily on your home’s size and siding type
- Roof cleaning: typically our higher-end service since it involves careful soft washing and safety precautions on the roof itself
- Commercial jobs: these are always quoted individually since every property is different
I know ranges like this can feel vague, and that’s honestly on purpose — I’d rather walk your property and give you a real number than throw out a price online that doesn’t actually apply to your home.
Why Two Quotes Can Look So Different
If you’ve gotten a couple of quotes already, you may have noticed the prices aren’t close. That usually comes down to:
- Whether the company is actually insured (ask — some aren’t)
- Whether they’re using real commercial equipment or something from a hardware store
- Whether they know when to soft wash instead of blast full pressure at something (this one matters a lot, and it’s where a lot of DIY and cut-rate jobs go wrong)
- Whether they’ll actually stand behind the work afterward
That last one matters to me personally. Every roof we clean comes with a 5-year spot-free warranty — if anything comes back within five years, we’re out there fixing it, no charge.
