Our Pricing
What drives prices up?
- Size/height & access: larger homes, 3+ stories, steep roofs, ladder/lift needs, limited access.
- Material & method: stucco/cedar/stone (more delicate, more time) vs vinyl; roofs and windows require skilled techs.
- Soiling level: algae, lichen, oxidation, hard water spots, construction debris.
- Safety & compliance: fall protection, permits, insured night work, traffic control.
- Complexity: French panes, storms/screens, skylights, dormers, intricate trim, many gables.
- Travel/time windows: rush jobs, weekend/after-hours, tight time slots.
What drives prices down?
- Smaller/simple footprints (1–2 stories, good access).
- Routine maintenance (on membership plans; lighter soil).
- Bundling multiple services in one visit.
- Flexible scheduling (we route efficiently).
- Neighborhood jobs (same-street discounts, HOA days).
Why are some companies more expensive than others?
- Professional crews (W-2), ongoing training, safety gear, lifts; strong liability/comp insurance; premium chemicals; full office staff; guaranteed workmanship; taxes/permits; high service standards. You’re buying reliability, safety, and results.
Why are some companies cheaper than others?
- Cutting corners: uninsured or under-insured labor, no training/safety, high-pressure on siding/roof, no prep or protection, no office support, disappearing after payment, bait-and-switch pricing. The risk often outweighs the savings.

Industry packaging & levels
- Single-service: one-off wash/clean (good for first-timers).
- Bundles: House + Windows + Gutters (best value; one mobilization).
- Memberships: quarterly or seasonal visits; guarantees; priority scheduling; per-visit price typically 10–20% lower than one-off.
Lifetime cost vs. initial price
- Regular soft washing and gutter/window care extends surface/roof life and prevents water intrusion.
- Example: A $650 roof wash that doubles remaining roof life defers a $12k–$25k replacement. Skipping $300 gutter cleanings can lead to fascia rot, interior leaks, landscaping damage—often $1k–$5k+ repairs.
Historical pricing trends (illustrative)
- Labor, insurance, chemicals, and equipment have raised industry averages ~30–40% since 2019. Planning on a routine schedule stabilizes your cost and locks in maintenance pricing (see “Average Ticket Index” chart above).
