How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Conway? (2026 Guide)

If you’ve been searching pressure washing cost in Conway, you’ve probably noticed the same thing I have: a lot of online numbers are either fantasy or so broad they’re useless. I’d rather tell you how I price these jobs here in Horry County, on actual houses and driveways I’ve stood on, not from some national average written by somebody who’s never cleaned a slick green patio after a week of August rain.

I’m Charlie Regelman, owner of Regelman Remodels. We handle Pressure Washing, painting, drywall repair, deck work, and remodeling across Conway and the Grand Strand. I’ve been doing this for 18 years, and I’m licensed, insured, and pretty direct about pricing. If I think a surface needs a gentler method, I’ll say that too.

The short answer: what pressure washing costs in Conway

Typical Conway pressure washing price ranges in 2026

Service	Typical Price Range	What Usually Affects It
Driveway washing	$150-$350	Size, rust stains, black buildup, edging
Sidewalks and walkways	$100-$250	Linear footage, dirt in joints, access
Patio cleaning	$150-$400	Concrete vs pavers, furniture moving, algae
Pool deck washing	$175-$450	Surface texture, chemical residue, slip risk
House soft wash	$300-$900+	Square footage, height, siding type, mildew level
Fence washing	$150-$400	Wood vs vinyl, total length, oxidation
Deck cleaning	$175-$450	Size, wood condition, prep for staining
Full exterior package	$500-$1,500+	House, driveway, patio, and bundled extras

That’s a good starting point. But a simple one-story place near downtown Conway is not the same job as a bigger house out toward Wild Wing, Black Water Cove, or one of those lots with heavy tree cover where the back slab never really dries out. Same service, very different amount of work.

Why Conway pricing moves around so much

Conway has its own personality. We still deal with the same humidity, pollen, and mildew you see all over the Grand Strand, but inland properties here usually have more shade, more leaf staining, and more runoff from oak and pine cover. The north side of a house or the back patio under trees is usually where the green stuff gets comfortable and decides to stay.

Then there’s the surface. Plain broom-finished concrete is usually straightforward. Older brick, pavers with sand joints, oxidized vinyl, painted porch slabs, weathered wood, and stucco are not. A lot of homeowners say “pressure washing” for everything, but on siding, soffits, trim, and painted surfaces, I’m usually thinking soft wash first because it’s safer and, honestly, it cleans better.

The biggest things that change the quote

• Square footage and total linear footage
• How heavy the algae, mildew, dirt, or red clay staining is
• House height and access around the property
• Surface type: concrete, vinyl, Hardie, brick, stucco, painted wood, composite, or natural wood
• Whether the job needs soft washing, stain treatment, or standard surface cleaning
• Drainage, water access, and where runoff is going
• Furniture, grills, planters, and other obstacles that need to be moved
• Whether it’s a standalone job or bundled with work like Interior & Exterior Painting or Deck Staining & Sealing

House washing in Conway: what people usually pay

For most house washes in Conway, I’d tell you to budget roughly $300 to $900 or more. A smaller one-story vinyl house with average buildup can be near the low end. A two-story home with shaded sides, mildew on the soffits, and years of grime on the back elevation can push well past that.

Here’s the part I always tell people to watch: if somebody throws out a very cheap number for a “full house wash,” ask what method they’re using. If the plan is to hammer your siding with too much pressure, that low price can get expensive later. I’ve seen water forced behind siding, paint chewed up, and trim damaged badly enough that the next call was for Drywall Repair or repainting. Saving money is great. Paying twice is not.

A good quote should explain the method

On most Conway homes, I’m not relying on brute pressure. The cleaning mix, dwell time, and a careful rinse do more of the work than raw PSI, especially on siding, trim, soffits, and painted areas.

Driveway and concrete cleaning costs in Conway

Driveways are one of the most common calls I get because they show everything. Black striping, algae in shaded corners, irrigation overspray, and that orange-red staining from our soil all stand out fast on concrete. Most driveway jobs land around $150 to $350. If it’s a wide pad, long walk, or badly stained surface, it can go higher.

Some neighborhoods are repeat offenders for this. You’ll see it on shaded driveways around older Conway lots with mature trees, and you see it in places like Carolina Forest too where sprinklers stay busy and slabs hold moisture. If a driveway stays damp till noon, it usually needs more than a quick rinse and a prayer.

Decks, patios, and fences depend heavily on the material

Wood is where experience matters. Old pressure-treated lumber, cedar fencing, painted deck boards, and composite decking all need a different touch. If I’m cleaning a deck before Deck Staining & Sealing, I’m not treating it like a concrete patio. Too much pressure raises the grain, scars the boards, and creates extra sanding or stain problems later.

That’s why these prices bounce around. A small concrete patio may be around $150. A larger wood deck with steps, railings, and prep for stain can be $300 to $450 or more. If we’re already doing a bigger Outdoor Living & Patio or Home Improvement project, I can usually package that work more efficiently and save a trip.

Best time of year to pressure wash in Conway

Spring stays busy for obvious reasons. Pollen glues itself to everything, people start using their patios again, and those HOA letters somehow arrive right on schedule. Late spring through early fall is also prime mildew season. Winter can actually be a smart time for house washing too, especially before paint or before a listing goes live, as long as we’ve got a decent weather window.

My simple rule: don’t wait until the concrete gets slick. If your driveway, front walk, or pool area feels slippery after rain, it’s time to clean it. At that point it’s not just about curb appeal anymore.

How I put together a pressure washing quote

I don’t love making up numbers over the phone just to sound fast. I’d rather look at the property, see what kind of buildup we’re dealing with, and give you a quote that actually means something. Most estimates are quick, and they’re free.

1. I look at the surfaces and measure the areas that need cleaning.
2. I check how severe the buildup is and what kind it is.
3. I decide whether the job needs pressure washing, soft washing, or a mix of both.
4. I factor in setup, access, drainage, and anything in the way.
5. If you’re combining it with another service, I build it into one plan.

A lot of Conway homeowners also ask if exterior cleaning is worth doing before paint. Most of the time, yes. It gives you a better finish, and it makes problem spots easier to see before you spend money on coatings. If painting is next on your list, my article on interior and exterior painting cost in Conway will help you budget that side of it too.

A few local details people forget about

Shade changes everything

A house off Highway 905 with big tree cover usually cleans differently than a more open lot near the center of town. Rear elevations, north-facing siding, and concrete near fences stay damp longer. That adds dwell time, extra rinsing, and sometimes a second treatment on the worst areas.

Older and painted surfaces need more care

An older porch slab with flaking paint, sun-baked trim, patched stucco, or weathered siding needs a gentler approach. That’s one reason I like seeing the place before I price it. A cheap phone estimate can miss the exact detail that turns into a problem later.

Bundling work usually saves money

If we’re already on site for Drywall Repair, Interior & Exterior Painting, or another improvement job, adding exterior cleaning often makes sense. Same goes for pre-sale prep, rental turnovers, or a general Home Improvement punch list where you want a few things handled at once.

What I’d budget for common Conway jobs

Realistic budget examples for Conway homeowners

Property Type	Likely Scope	Budget Range
Small one-story home	Front walk, driveway, basic house soft wash	$400-$700
Average family home	House wash, driveway, back patio	$550-$950
Larger two-story home	Full house wash with heavier mildew and concrete cleaning	$800-$1,300+
Deck prep project	Deck cleaning before stain plus adjacent walkway	$300-$650
Pre-sale curb appeal cleanup	House, driveway, sidewalk, patio, fence touch-up	$700-$1,500+

Those aren’t cookie-cutter prices. They’re honest ranges based on the kind of work we actually see. I’d rather give you a realistic number upfront than start low and spend the whole job explaining why the total changed.

My advice if you’re comparing quotes

• Ask if the siding will be soft washed or cleaned with high pressure.
• Make sure the quote spells out exactly what areas are included.
• Ask how mildew, rust stains, and heavy buildup are being handled.
• Confirm the company is licensed and insured.
• Pay attention to whether they understand local conditions or are just pricing by generic square footage.

That last point matters. Somebody who works regularly in Conway, Carolina Forest, Socastee, Little River, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, and Myrtle Beach knows the difference between mildew from heavy inland shade and salt buildup closer to the water. Cleaning a shaded house off Four Mile Road is not the same job as cleaning a condo balcony near Ocean Boulevard.

If pressure washing is step one, think about step two

Once a house is clean, other issues show up. I mean that in a useful way. After washing, people often notice failed caulk, peeling trim, weathered deck boards, cracked drywall from an old leak, or other little things the dirt was hiding. Better to see it now than after you’ve ignored it for another year.

If the cleanup turns into a bigger project, we also handle Bathroom Remodeling, Kitchen Remodeling, Flooring Installation, Interior & Exterior Painting, and general Home Improvement. You can also look through our portfolio if you want to see the kind of work we do.

My bottom line on pressure washing cost in Conway

For most Conway homes, pressure washing is still one of the cheaper ways to make the place look better fast. Smaller concrete jobs may only be a couple hundred bucks. Bigger whole-property cleanups can be $1,000 or more. The honest answer is the same one I give people every week: it depends on the surface, the buildup, and the safest way to clean it.

If you want a real number for your place, I’m happy to come look at it. I keep the quotes straightforward, I explain the method, and I don’t pretend every house in Conway is the same house.
