Power Washing Pricesby Service
How much does house washing cost in Richmond?
House soft washing in Richmond starts at $249 and runs up to about $499 for most homes. Your price depends on the size of the home, the condition of the siding, and how much algae or mildew has built up. The quote you receive is the price you pay, with no surprise upcharges on the invoice.
What affects your price:
Square footage · Siding condition · Siding type · Access around the home
Real examples:
A 1,400 square foot single-story ranch in Henrico runs $249. A 3,200 square foot two-story colonial in Short Pump runs closer to $450. The difference comes down to size and how much buildup is on the surface.
These are typical ranges. Your exact price depends on siding condition, siding type, and access around the home.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Richmond?
Roof soft washing in Richmond starts at $299 and is priced by the size, pitch, and accessibility of your roof. We use low-pressure soft washing, which safely removes black streaks, algae, and moss without damaging your shingles or affecting your warranty. We work close to the surface, from the roof or a ladder, so every streak and patch of growth is treated directly and nothing gets missed. Steeper or harder-to-reach roofs take more time and setup, so those factors affect the quote. Many homeowners search for roof power washing, but on asphalt shingles the correct method is low-pressure soft washing.
What affects your price:
Roof size · Roof pitch and accessibility · Amount of staining and growth · Roof material
Real examples:
A single-story home in Mechanicsville with an easy-access roof typically runs $299 to $375. A larger two-story home in Midlothian with a steeper pitch runs closer to $450 to $600. The steeper and less accessible the roof, the more careful setup it takes to clean it thoroughly.
How much does driveway and concrete cleaning cost in Richmond?
Driveway and concrete cleaning in Richmond starts at $149 and is priced by square footage. This covers driveways, sidewalks, walkways, and patios. Larger or heavily stained surfaces run higher, and we treat oil and rust spots as part of a thorough clean.
Deck cleaning in Richmond is priced by the size of your deck and starts at $149. We use a low-pressure wash and the right chemistry for wood or composite, lifting dirt, mildew, and algae without splintering the wood or raising the grain.
What affects your price:
Deck size · Wood or composite · Condition and level of buildup
Real examples:
A 400 square foot wooden deck in the Fan runs about $199.
How much does patio and paver cleaning cost in Richmond?
Patio and paver cleaning in Richmond is priced by the size of the area and starts at $149. We clean the surface at low pressure and can re-sand paver joints so your patio looks refreshed and holds up through the season.
What affects your price:
Area size · Surface type · Joint re-sanding
Real examples:
A 350 square foot paver patio in Midlothian runs about $189.
Fence cleaning in Richmond is priced by the length of your fence in linear feet and starts at $149. Wood and vinyl fences both clean up well with a low-pressure wash that removes green algae and grime without harming the surface.
What affects your price:
Fence length · Wood or vinyl · One or both sides
Real examples:
A 300 linear foot wooden fence runs about $249 for a single side, or $399 for both sides.
Gutter cleaning in Richmond is priced by the size of your home and the number of stories, starting at $149. We clear debris by hand, flush the gutters, flush the downspouts, and confirm everything is flowing before we leave. We service one and two-story homes.
What affects your price:
Home size · Number of stories · Amount of debris
Real examples:
A two-story, 2,000 square foot home runs about $199 for a full gutter cleaning, including flushing the gutters and downspouts.

What Affects PowerWashing Cost in Richmond?
Power washing prices in Richmond come down to a few clear factors: the size of the area being cleaned, the condition of the surface, the type of surface, and how many services you combine. Once you know these, it is easy to see why a quote is what it is.
Size of the area. Bigger surfaces take more time and material.
Surface condition. Heavy algae, oil, or rust takes more treatment to clear.
Surface type. Siding, roofing, wood, and concrete each need a different pressure and a different cleaning solution.
Height and access. Taller or harder-to-reach areas take more setup.
Combined services. Bundling lowers your cost per service.
Richmond's humid climate and heavy pollen mean surfaces get dirty on a predictable cycle, so most homeowners plan a cleaning about once a year.

Always included:

Why Our Pricing Isn'tthe Lowest in Richmond
You can always find someone in Richmond who will wash your house for less. What you cannot always find is full insurance, the correct method for each surface, and a guarantee that the work is done right. Our pricing reflects doing the job once, correctly, and standing behind it.
A cheap quote from an uninsured operator with a rented machine can cost far more than it saves. High pressure on the wrong surface strips shingle granules, cracks siding, and forces water behind walls. If something goes wrong on your property and the person doing the work is not insured, that bill lands on you.
Platypus is fully licensed and insured. We match the right pressure and the right cleaning solution to every surface, protect your landscaping, and back our work with a satisfaction guarantee. That is what your price pays for, and it is why our results last.
Our satisfaction guarantee
We don't leave until you're happy. If we miss a spot or you are not satisfied with the results, we will come back and reclean it free of charge. Your price includes standing behind the work, not just doing it.

For house washing, a larger home costs more, and two-story homes tend to be larger, so they often land at a higher tier. For roof soft washing, a taller or steeper roof can run higher, since reaching the whole surface safely and cleaning it thoroughly takes more time and setup.
Roof soft washing is priced by the size, pitch, and accessibility of your roof and starts at $299. We use low-pressure soft washing, which safely removes black streaks, algae, and moss without damaging your shingles or affecting your manufacturer warranty. Steeper or harder-to-reach roofs run higher, since cleaning them thoroughly takes more time and setup.
Soft washing uses the right chemistry to kill algae and mildew at the root, so results last far longer than a quick pressure rinse. It also protects your surfaces from the damage high pressure can cause. You are paying for a longer-lasting clean and work that will not harm your home.

Most Richmond homes benefit from a house soft wash once a year. The area's humid climate and heavy spring pollen let algae and mildew build up on siding quickly, and an annual cleaning keeps it from taking hold. Homes with heavy shade or tree cover may want a cleaning every eight to twelve months.
Yes. We measure most properties using satellite imagery, which lets us send an accurate quote without an in-home visit. For larger or more complex jobs, we may confirm a few details with you before we finalize the price.
For most Richmond homeowners, yes. Regular exterior cleaning protects your siding, roof, and concrete from the organic growth that shortens their life, and it restores curb appeal and property value. Soft washing in particular keeps surfaces clean far longer than a quick pressure rinse, so you clean less often.
Price differences usually come down to insurance, method, and materials. A fully insured company using the right chemistry and correct pressure for each surface costs more than an uninsured operator with a rented machine, but it protects your property and delivers results that last. The lowest quote often means corners were cut.
