  1. Your Guide to the Average Cost of Power Washing a Deck A deck is one of the best spots to relax at home. But over time, dirt, mold, mildew, and even bird droppings can build up. That’s where power washing comes in—it helps restore your deck’s natural beauty and extend its life. Wondering how much it costs? Let’s walk through the average cost of power washing a deckand what to expect before you hire a pro. What Is Power Washing? Power washing uses high-pressure water to clean surfaces like decks, driveways, and siding. It’s powerful enough to remove dirt, algae, and stains—making it ideal for outdoor areas that take a beating from the weather. For decks, it’s also a great way to prep the surface for staining or sealing. Why Power Wash Your Deck? Here are some key reasons to schedule a deck cleaning: ● Restores your deck’s original appearance ● Removes mold, mildew, and grime

  2. ● Helps prevent wood decay and long-term damage ● Prepares the surface for paint or stain ● Reduces slip hazards from slick surfaces A clean deck not only looks better—it’s also safer and lasts longer. How Much Does It Cost to Power Wash a Deck? The average cost of power washing a deck ranges from $100 to $300, depending on several factors. Price by Deck Size: Deck Size Estimated Cost Small (100–200 sq ft) $100 – $150 Medium (200–400 sq ft) $150 – $250 Large (400+ sq ft) $250 – $400+ Keep in mind, these are general estimates. For a more accurate number, you’ll want to get a custom quote from a local provider. What Affects the Price? Several things can influence your final cost: ● Deck size: More square footage means more time and water. ● Condition of the deck: Heavily stained or moldy surfaces may cost more. ● Type of wood: Softer woods need more care, possibly increasing labor time. ● Location: Urban or high-cost areas often have higher service rates. ● Extra services: Sealing, staining, or repairs may cost extra. What’s Included in the Cost? A typical power washing job for a deck might include: ● Pre-inspection and setup

  3. ● Gentle or high-pressure wash (depending on material) ● Spot scrubbing or stain removal ● Rinse and clean-up ● Optional sealing or drying (may be an added cost) Always ask what’s included to avoid surprises on your final invoice. What About Wood Decks? Wood decks require a gentle touch. Too much pressure can damage the surface. The cost to power wash a wood deck is generally $100 to $300, like other materials, but make sure your service provider has experience with wood surfaces to avoid harm. What Is a Fair Power Wash Deck Estimate? A fair estimate should be: ● Free and no-obligation ● Clear on what’s included ● Based on square footage or a flat rate ● Backed by experience and insurance Don’t hesitate to ask questions—professional companies will be happy to walk you through the process. How Often Should You Power Wash a Deck? Most decks benefit from a thorough power wash once a year. If your home is surrounded by trees or experiences heavy rain and snow, twice a year might be better. Regular cleanings help you avoid costly long-term repairs.
