What pressure washing costs in Fort Myers by surface, what drives the price, and how to get an accurate, upfront quote for your Lee County home.
Most pressure washing jobs in the Fort Myers area run somewhere between about $150 for a small driveway or walkway and $900 or more for a full house-and-roof soft wash on a large two-story home, which works out to roughly $0.15 to $0.60 per square foot depending on the surface. There is no single flat rate, because the price follows the surface, its size, and how much Southwest Florida grime has built up. Here is an honest look at what moves the number.
These are the ranges most Lee County homeowners land in. Every figure below is a starting point for a typical property, not a rate card - size, access, and how long the growth has been left decide where you sit in the range.
Bundling several of these into one visit almost always earns a better combined rate than booking each separately, because the setup, water, and travel are spread across more work.
Pressure washing covers everything from a compact front walk to a tile roof, a screened pool cage, and a paver driveway, and each is a different job with different equipment and time. A crew that quotes one flat figure for every home is guessing. The real cost comes from measuring the surface, judging how much algae and salt film has set in, and factoring in access, not from a rate card.
Almost every Lee County crew, ours included, quotes a flat job price - but that figure is usually built from a per-square-foot rate of about $0.15 to $0.60. Flat concrete sits at the low end, around $0.15 to $0.35. Stucco walls, tile roofs, and paver lanais cost more per foot because they need a gentler, slower soft wash. Per-square-foot is a sizing tool, not the whole answer: access, setup, and how hard the coastal climate has stained a surface matter just as much as raw area. Ask for the flat number, and ask what it includes.
The rate does not swing with the season here, but two Fort Myers realities affect your bill. First, the summer rainy season - roughly June through September - grows algae fast, so a home washed in November and left alone can need noticeably more solution and dwell time by the following fall. Second, demand tightens through snowbird season from about December to April, when scheduling is busiest and lead times stretch. Neither is a surcharge. Both are reasons to book on a schedule instead of waiting until the staining is severe, because washing on a regular cycle is what actually keeps you at the low end of every range above.
You will sometimes see rock-bottom quotes from crews planning to blast every surface at high pressure. On a coastal Fort Myers home that is a false savings: high pressure strips shingle granules, cracks tile, tears pool screens, and drives salt and water behind siding. The repair bill erases any money saved. Proper soft washing costs a little more because it kills the algae and salt film at the root and protects delicate finishes.

Because so much depends on surface, size, and condition, the surest way to know your cost is a quick look or a few photos, which lets us give upfront, flat pricing before any work begins. Cleaning before the growth gets severe also keeps the price down. Get a quote across all of our Fort Myers pressure washing services.
Is pressure washing cheaper if I bundle services? Usually, yes. Combining a house wash with a driveway and pool deck in one visit spreads the setup over more work, so it typically beats booking each surface on its own.
Do you charge for an estimate? No. Estimates are free and no-obligation, and the flat price quoted after a look at the surfaces is the price you pay.
Does heavy algae raise the cost? It can. A surface neglected for years needs more cleaning solution and dwell time than one washed on a schedule, so washing before the growth digs in keeps you at the lower end.
