What Determines House Washing Cost
in Dacula, GA

The cost of pressure washing a home in Dacula depends on square footage, the number of stories, the type of siding, how much buildup has accumulated, and whether you need soft washing or standard pressure washing. Homes with heavy mold or algae growth, multiple stories, or delicate materials like stucco typically cost more because they require specialized equipment and extra time on-site. At Kidd's ProWash, we give free on-site quotes for every house washing job so you understand exactly what goes into your price.

Square footage is the single biggest factor in pricing a house wash. A 1,500-square-foot ranch-style home takes less time, less solution, and less labor than a 3,500-square-foot two-story home. Most pressure washing companies in Gwinnett County price house washing somewhere between $0.15 and $0.30 per square foot of exterior surface area, though the exact rate depends on the other factors listed below.

In Dacula and surrounding neighborhoods like Hamilton Mill, Auburn, and along Harbins Road, home sizes range widely. The smaller ranch homes that were built in the 1980s and 1990s typically cost $200 to $350 to wash. The larger homes in newer subdivisions - many of which are 2,500 to 4,000 square feet - run $350 to $550. We measure before quoting so your price reflects your actual home, not a guess.

Two-story and three-story homes cost more than single-story homes. The reason is simple: reaching upper surfaces requires extension poles, sometimes lifts, and always more time. The higher the surface, the more carefully we need to work to ensure even coverage and avoid dripping streaks.

A single-story home might take 45 minutes to an hour. A two-story home of the same square footage can take 90 minutes to two hours. That extra time translates directly into the price. If your home has dormers, steep gables, or difficult-to-reach sections, that can add a bit more as well.

Different siding materials require different cleaning approaches, chemicals, and care. Here in Gwinnett County, we see a wide mix of exteriors:

This is where two homes of the same size and material can have very different prices. A home that gets washed every year will have light surface growth that comes off quickly. A home that hasn't been washed in three to five years might have heavy black streaks of mold, thick green algae on the north-facing side, and dark discoloration on every surface.

Heavier buildup requires stronger chemical solutions, longer dwell times, and sometimes multiple passes to fully clean. In Gwinnett County, the humidity and shade create perfect conditions for rapid mold and algae growth - especially on the north and west sides of homes that don't get as much direct sun.

Red clay splashing is another condition factor unique to Georgia. After years of rain, foundations and lower siding develop that rust-colored stain that regular rain won't wash off. Treating red clay requires a different chemical approach than standard mold and algae removal.

Not every surface gets the same treatment. Siding, roofs, and delicate surfaces require soft washing - a method that relies on cleaning chemicals and low-pressure rinsing rather than raw water pressure. Standard pressure washing uses higher PSI and is reserved for hard surfaces like concrete, brick walkways, and stone patios.

Soft washing typically costs a bit more than standard pressure washing because the chemical solutions add to the material cost and the application process takes additional time. However, it's the only safe method for siding and roofing. Any company that offers to pressure wash your vinyl siding or shingle roof with a high-pressure machine is going to cause damage.
