In Austin, Texas: Power washing (pressure washing, soft washing) is one of the most-misused services in the home-services trade. Wrong PSI for the surface and you''ll strip paint off siding, gouge wood decks, force water under shingles, etch concrete. Right PSI and detergent combination and you''ll add years to the life of every exterior surface. The 217 U.S. cities with power washers on Recommended.app cover the full residential range: house siding (almost always soft-wash, 100–500 PSI with detergent), concrete driveways and walkways (high-pressure, 2,000–3,500 PSI), wood decks (low-pressure, 1,200–1,500 PSI), roof cleaning (soft-wash only — never high-pressure on shingles), fences, and pool decks. Average residential whole-house wash runs $200 to $450; driveway-only $100 to $250; deck cleaning (pre-staining prep) $150 to $400. The category''s biggest service gap is roof cleaning, where the wrong technique voids most shingle warranties — manufacturers specifically prohibit high-pressure cleaning on asphalt shingles. A soft-wash roof cleaning costs $300 to $700 for an average home and uses sodium hypochlorite (effectively bleach) plus surfactants at very low pressure, which is the only manufacturer-approved approach.

What to Look For
Confirm the contractor knows the difference between pressure washing and soft washing and uses the right one for each surface. For roof cleaning, the answer must be soft-wash with sodium hypochlorite — anything else voids shingle warranties. Verify GL insurance (slipping on wet driveways is a high-injury category). Ask what surfactants and detergents are used and whether they're plant-safe (most residential cleaners are, but commercial-grade products can damage landscaping).
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does power washing cost?
Whole-house exterior wash: $200–$450. Concrete driveway: $100–$250. Deck cleaning: $150–$400 (pre-stain prep). Roof soft-wash: $300–$700. Pool deck and patio: $150–$350. Most residential projects are flat-priced; commercial work is by square foot.
What''s the difference between power washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high water pressure (1,500–3,500+ PSI) to physically blast contaminants off durable surfaces (concrete, brick, metal). Soft washing uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) plus chemical detergents — same effective cleaning on delicate surfaces (vinyl siding, roofing, wood) without the damage risk. Most ''power washing'' calls are actually soft-wash jobs.
Can I damage my house pressure-washing it myself?
Yes, easily. Most rental units default to 2,500+ PSI, which strips paint, gouges wood, forces water past flashing, and bruises siding. The cleaner''s training (knowing which PSI and detergent for which surface) matters more than the equipment power. For anything beyond a concrete pad, professional service pays for itself in damage avoided.
Is roof cleaning safe for shingles?
Soft washing (low pressure plus sodium hypochlorite solution) is approved by GAF, CertainTeed, and most shingle manufacturers. High-pressure washing voids the warranty on every shingle brand we''re aware of. Always confirm the contractor is soft-washing your roof, not pressure-washing it.
How often should I power-wash my house?
Annual for whole-house in humid climates with significant mildew or pollen (Southeast, Pacific Northwest); every 2–3 years in drier climates. Concrete driveways and pool decks: annual. Wood decks: every 1–2 years for pre-staining maintenance. Roof: every 5–7 years for asphalt shingles in mildew-prone climates.
