How much does it cost to wash your house?

Scroll to clean ↓

Short answer: A house wash is priced by your home's square footage and story count, with a minimum that covers small homes. Most Volusia County houses land close to the typical price for the area, though stucco, block, vinyl and brick all cost the same since the soft wash method doesn't change by material. The number you see before booking is the number you actually pay.

How the price gets built

The formula is simple: 15 cents per square foot for a one-story home, 15 cents for a two-story home, with a $279 minimum so a small ranch house isn't priced like a mansion. A two-story home costs a bit more per square foot because of the extra height and access the job requires.

That number comes straight from your address. Puma pulls your home's size, floor count and materials from county records and runs them through the same price list every house in Volusia County gets, so the quote you see before booking is the quote you pay on the day, without a surprise number showing up once the crew is already there.

What doesn't change the price

Stucco, vinyl siding, block and brick all get the same soft wash treatment, a cleaning solution applied at low pressure, so the material your house is built from doesn't move the number. What moves it is square footage and story count, plain and simple.

How dirty the house currently looks doesn't change the price either. Whether it's a light dusting of green on the shaded wall or a heavier buildup that's been sitting for a couple of years, the quote is based on the size of the home, not the size of the mess. That keeps pricing predictable instead of something a crew eyeballs on arrival.

Add-ons and bundling

Gutters can be added for $95 or $145 depending on the job, and driveways, patios and pool cages each have their own separate pricing if you want more than just the house done in the same visit.

If you bundle three or more services, like a house wash with a driveway and a roof, you save 10% off the combined total. That's often the cheapest way to knock out a full property in one visit instead of booking each surface separately over the course of a year.

Booking and paying

You book a day and pay a 25% deposit by card to hold it. You don't need to be home for the crew to do the work, which makes it easy to schedule around a workday rather than taking time off just to supervise a cleaning visit.

The crew runs a test stripe first, and if it doesn't make you want to say whoa, they pack up and you pay nothing for that visit. Otherwise you get before-and-after photos, and the rest is charged 24 hours later unless something looks off, in which case the fix is a free re-clean rather than a dispute over what you owe.

Keeping the price down over time

Puma Pass rebooks your house every 6 months at 15% off, and you can skip or cancel anytime. Staying on a regular schedule also tends to mean less buildup at each visit, since algae and mildew are easier to remove before they've had a long stretch to establish themselves on the exterior.

In Volusia County

Volusia County property records cover 235,236 homes, and the typical price Puma quotes for a house wash here is $279. That figure comes from running the same 12-cent and 15-cent per square foot pricing, with the $279 minimum, across every home size and story count found in the county, from small single-story ranches to larger two-story homes.

Questions people ask

Does a bigger house always cost more?

Usually, yes, since the price scales with square footage. A large one-story home can still land close to a smaller two-story home once the per-square-foot rate and minimum are applied, so the exact number depends on both size and story count together.

Is the online quote the final price?

Yes. The price you book from your address is the price you pay, and it won't change on the day unless you add a service, like gutters, after the initial quote was generated.

Can I get my roof and driveway done at the same time?

Yes, and bundling three or more services together saves you 10% off the combined total instead of booking each surface separately at different times.

What if I don't love the results?

Every job starts with a test stripe you approve before the crew moves forward, and if something looks off afterward, Puma sends someone back for a free re-clean instead of charging you again for the same work.
