How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Vancouver & the Lower Mainland? (2026 Guide)
"How much will it cost?" is the first question every homeowner asks, and most pressure washing companies make you book a visit before they'll answer it. Here's the straight answer for the Lower Mainland in 2026, based on the jobs we quote and complete every week from Vancouver to Chilliwack.
Prices below are typical ranges for single-family homes. Your exact quote depends on size, grime level and access, but this will tell you whether a quote you've received is fair.
Typical pressure washing prices in the Lower Mainland
For most detached homes in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey and the surrounding cities, expect these ranges:
- Single driveway (2-car): $150–$300
- Large or heavily mossed driveway: $250–$450
- Patio or walkway: $100–$250
- Full house wash (soft wash, siding): $300–$700 depending on storeys
- Deck or fence cleaning: $150–$400
- Whole-property package (driveway + walkways + house): $500–$1,200
What actually changes the price
Square footage matters less than people think. The real price drivers are grime severity, surface type and access. A driveway that hasn't been cleaned in ten years takes pre-treatment, slower passes and a post-treatment to keep moss from returning, that's genuinely more work than an annual maintenance clean.
Delicate surfaces cost slightly more too. Exposed aggregate, stamped concrete and pavers need adjusted pressure and technique so the surface isn't scarred, and paver joints may need re-sanding after cleaning.
Why the cheapest quote is usually the most expensive
Lowball quotes usually mean one of three things: no insurance, a wand-only clean that leaves zebra striping across your driveway, or high pressure used on surfaces that should never see it, siding, roofs and window seals. Repairing forced water damage behind siding costs far more than the difference between quotes.
A professional outfit uses rotary surface cleaners for an even finish, treats moss and algae so they don't return in a month, carries liability insurance, and puts the result in writing with a satisfaction guarantee.
How to get an accurate quote without a site visit
Most companies (including us) can quote from a few photos and your address, satellite view shows driveway size, and photos show the grime level. Quotes are typically free and returned within 24 hours.
Book in the off-season if you can. Spring is peak season across the Lower Mainland; late fall and winter bookings are easier to schedule and the results last just as long, moss actually re-establishes slower after a winter clean.
