From siding and driveways to decks, fences, and walkways, a proper wash makes surfaces look years younger and helps them last longer.
Power washing is priced a few different ways across the metro Detroit area, and most pros quote by the square foot. Here is how the common models compare so you know what a fair quote looks like, and how our own transparent flat rates stack up.
In the Oakland County area, professional power washing typically runs $0.10 to $0.60 per square foot. Where you land depends heavily on the surface being cleaned — flat, accessible concrete costs less than delicate wood or high-up roofs:
A standard 2-car driveway (about 400–600 sq. ft.) usually averages $100 to $250.
A 1,500 sq. ft. home typically runs $150 to $750.
Higher because soft wood needs a gentle low-pressure “soft wash” and specialized detergents, not raw force.
Highest of all: pitch, steepness, and height demand safety gear plus slow, gentle chemical algae treatment.
Example: Washing the vinyl siding on a 1,500 sq. ft. home runs roughly $150 to $750 by the square foot, and many companies set a job minimum of around $150. Rather than a rigid per-foot measure, AAA Handyman uses a simple hybrid: a flat service-call minimum that covers the first hour, then continuous labor billed by the quarter-hour.
Heavy oil stains on driveways or thick green mold on north-facing siding need chemical pre-treatments, which add to material costs.
Rates assume a hookup to an outdoor spigot with strong pressure. If a technician must bring a water truck, the price scales up sharply.
Moving heavy patio furniture or wrapping delicate landscaping, lighting, and outlets in protective plastic adds prep labor to the final cost.
AAA Handyman keeps it simple: a $100 (Zone A) / $145 (Zone B) minimum covers travel and the first hour, then continuous washing is billed at a flat $70/hour in quarter-hour increments. You will always know the price before we start.
A few of the most requested tasks in this category. Do not see yours? Just ask, no job too small.
