How Much Does It Cost to Pressure Wash a House in Cape Coral?

Pricing, What’s Included, and How to Save with Maintenance Plans

In a coastal climate like Southwest Florida, homeowners quickly discover that exterior walls don’t stay clean for long. If you’re searching for pressure washing Cape Coral services to keep your home looking sharp, you’ve probably noticed the algae, mildew, salt air, and humidity that collect on stucco and paint throughout the year. A professional house wash (soft wash) not only restores curb appeal but also protects your paint, stucco, soffits, and fascia from premature wear.


Below is an updated, easy-to-understand guide on house washing costs, what’s included, how seasonal timing affects scheduling, and ways to save with annual maintenance plans in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and surrounding SWFL communities.



How Much Does House Washing Cost in SWFL?

At AAA Pressure Washing, our pricing is based on the actual square footage under roof—not just “living space.” That means we factor in your garage, lanai, and other exterior areas that also need cleaning.


Here’s our starting price guide for exterior house washing services:

  • 1,000–2,000 sq ft: $195

  • 2,000–3,000 sq ft: $275

  • 3,000–4,000 sq ft: $375

  • 4,000–5,000 sq ft: $475

  • 5,000–6,000 sq ft: $575


These are base rates for single-story homes with standard access. Final pricing may vary depending on roof height, number of stories, balconies, or unique architectural features that require additional setup and care.


For context, most single-family homes in our area fall between $300–$550 for a full soft wash of exterior walls, soffits/fascia, and trim.


Why Prices Vary (the Honest Version)

  • Home size & height – Two stories or tall walls require more ladder work and time.

  • Condition – A light film cleans quickly, while heavy algae, oxidation, or sprinkler rust needs extra chemistry and care.

  • Surface & paint type – Stucco responds beautifully to soft washing, but older chalky paint or specialty finishes require a gentler touch.

  • Access & obstacles – Tight side yards, heavy landscaping, or large lanais add setup and protection time.

  • Add-ons – Window detailing, gutter brightening, and screen enclosure cleaning are often bundled but still affect scope.


Seasonal Reality in SWFL (and How It Affects Scheduling)

From October through December, many seasonal residents return and want their homes cleaned before the holidays. Schedules fill quickly, and last-minute jobs can be harder to fit in. You’ll often get the best availability (and sometimes better rates) by booking in early fall—or enrolling in a maintenance plan that automatically reserves your spot.


What’s Included in an AAA House Wash

We use a low-pressure soft wash process—never harsh, paint-scouring blasts.

  • Pre-inspection & plant protection – We identify sensitive areas and pre-wet and shield landscaping.

  • Biodegradable detergent application – Targets algae, mildew, and organic staining on stucco, trim, soffits, and fascia.

  • Controlled low-pressure rinse – Safely rinses detergents without forcing water behind paint or into weep holes.

  • Detailing – Door frames, porch ceilings, light fixtures, and entryways are carefully cleaned.

  • Final walkthrough – We redirect rinse water away from lanais/pools and confirm results with you.


Popular Bundles:

  • House Wash + Driveway/Sidewalk

  • House Wash + Pool Cage/Lanai


(Note: Roofs are cleaned with a different soft-wash method and are quoted separately.)


Maintenance Plans: Pay Less Over Time, Stay Clean Year-Round

Many homeowners wait “every few years” to clean, but in SWFL that’s too long. Algae digs in, driving up costs and damaging paint and stucco.


With an annual or semi-annual maintenance plan, you get:

  • Lower per-visit cost (less buildup, less labor)

  • Reserved scheduling during busy snowbird season

  • Consistent curb appeal year-round

  • Extended protection for paint, stucco, and finishes


For most homes, one full house wash per year is perfect. Waterfront or heavily shaded homes may benefit from two lighter visits.


How to Get Your Most Accurate Quote (and Keep It on the Low End)

  • Share front/side photos and note any shady or algae-heavy walls.

  • Let us know if you have sprinkler rust, oxidation, or recently painted surfaces (within 60–90 days).

  • Tell us about lanai screens, tight side yards, or pets so we can plan ahead.

  • Book before October or enroll in a plan to beat peak-season scheduling.


FAQs

Will soft washing damage my paint or plants? No. We use manufacturer-recommended methods, pre-wet plants, and rinse thoroughly.


Does this include windows? House washing rinses exterior glass. Spot-free window detailing is available as an add-on.


What about oxidation (chalky siding/paint)? Oxidation requires a different process than algae removal. We’ll discuss options if we see it during your quote.


Do I need to be home? Not necessarily. Please close windows, move vehicles, unlock gates, and keep pets inside. We’ll text when we’re on the way and send after-photos if you’re out.
