How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Lexington, SC?

If you are a homeowner in Lexington or Gilbert wondering what a professional wash runs, here is the honest answer: most single services in the Midlands fall somewhere between $150 and $600, and a full house plus driveway package usually lands between $300 and $900. Those are ranges, not quotes. Every home is different, and the only way to get your exact number is a free quote on your actual property.


Below is what typical pricing looks like around here in 2026, plus what actually moves the price up or down.


Typical Price Ranges in the Midlands


House wash (siding, soffits, trim): $200 to $600 for most one and two story homes. Smaller ranch homes sit at the lower end, larger two story homes with lots of shaded siding sit at the higher end. Nationally, house washing runs about $0.15 to $0.75 per square foot, and most Lexington area homes land in the middle of that band.


Driveway and walkways: $135 to $250 for a standard two car concrete driveway. Longer driveways, heavy oil staining, or deep tannin stains from oak leaves can push it higher. Per square foot, concrete cleaning in South Carolina typically runs $0.15 to $0.30, depending on cleaning needed.


Deck or patio: $150 to $425 for an average size deck or patio. Wood costs more to clean than concrete or pavers because it takes lower pressure, more care, and more time. A small concrete patio can come in under $200, while a large multi level wood deck can run higher.


Roof soft wash: $300 to $700 for most homes. Roofs are priced by size, pitch, and how much algae and moss is growing up there. Those black streaks on shingles are algae, and in our humidity they spread fast once they start.


Add ons (gutters, fences, pool decks): Gutter exteriors usually run $50 to $150. Fences and pool decks are priced by linear or square footage, and they are almost always cheaper when bundled with a house wash.


What Actually Drives the Price


Square footage. More surface to clean means more time, more water, and more cleaning solution. This is the single biggest factor.


Stories. A one story ranch is quick work. A two story home needs ladders or extended equipment to reach the upper siding and gables, which adds time and cost.


Condition. A home washed last year costs less to clean than one with three years of mildew, cobwebs, and tannin stains baked in. Heavy growth takes more product and sometimes a second pass.


Surface type. Concrete and brick handle direct pressure well. Vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, and shingles need soft washing, which is a low pressure method with detergents. Soft washing is gentler and often the right call, it lets the chemicals do the work.


Access. Tight side yards, steep slopes, heavy landscaping against the house, and delicate plants that need covering all add setup time.


Why Midlands Homes Get Dirty Faster Than You Think


Lexington and Gilbert sit in that sweet spot of heat, humidity, and tree cover that mildew loves. North facing siding that never sees sun, oak and pine tannin staining concrete every fall, red clay dust, and a spring pollen season that coats everything in yellow: it all adds up. Most homes around here benefit from a wash every 12 to 24 months, and waiting longer usually means a tougher clean and a higher price.


The Cheapest Way to Book: Bundle It


If your siding, driveway, and back patio all need attention, doing them in one visit almost always costs less than three separate trips. You save on the trip charge and setup time, and the crew is already there with everything running. When you request a quote, mention everything you want done and ask what the bundled price looks like.
