Pressure washing in Allen

HomeGuide's national April 2024 figures put a house wash at $170 to $360 and hourly rates at $50 to $200. Texas taxes pressure washing of buildings, sidewalks and parking areas as grounds cleaning, at homes as well as businesses, and the company must hold a sales tax permit, so expect tax on the bill. Renting a machine yourself costs $40 to $100 a day. Sealing the driveway afterward typically adds $100 to $300, so ask whether a quote includes it.

Allen says all contractors must register with the city for $50 a year through its CSS portal, so ask whether the company is registered. Ask too where the wash water goes and whether cleaning chemicals will reach the street or storm drain, and check with the City of Allen whether any runoff rule applies. If you are washing ahead of a sale or a move, line it up before photos or the truck arrive. See the Texas pressure washing guide and the Allen city page for more.
