How long does it take to pressure wash a house?
The time it takes to pressure wash a house can vary depending on several factors, including the size of your home, the extent of the cleaning needed, and the specific surfaces being cleaned. However, here’s a general idea of how long you can expect the process to take:

1. Size of the House: The larger the house, the longer it will take to pressure wash. For example, a single-story, 1,500-square-foot home might take around 2-4 hours, while a larger, two-story, 3,000-square-foot home could take 4-8 hours.
   
2. Extent of Cleaning: If you’re only having the exterior walls cleaned, the process will be quicker. However, if you include additional areas like the roof, driveway, walkways, deck, and patio, it will take more time.
   
3. Level of Dirt and Grime: Houses with significant dirt, mold, mildew, or algae buildup will require more time to clean thoroughly compared to those that are regularly maintained.
   
4. Surface Types: Different surfaces require different approaches. For instance, cleaning delicate surfaces like wood or certain sidings might take longer due to the need for lower pressure and more careful handling.
   
5. Accessibility: The ease of access to various parts of your home can also affect the time needed. Homes with multiple stories, intricate designs, or hard-to-reach areas may require more time and effort.
   

Here are some approximate time estimates based on common scenarios:

• Small to medium-sized single-story home (1,500-2,000 sq. ft.): 2-4 hours
• Medium to large-sized two-story home (2,000-3,000 sq. ft.): 4-8 hours
• Comprehensive cleaning (including roof, driveway, walkways, deck, and patio): 6-10 hours or more
