Pressure washing in Houston

Rain doesn't take a season off in Houston. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Intercontinental airport count about 104 days a year with measurable rain, and those days spread out almost evenly: about 28 in winter, 25 in spring, 28 in summer and 24 in fall. About 15 days a year bring an inch or more.

The Houston Health Department keeps track of what's in the air. A spore trap on the roof of its lab pulls in 10 liters of air a minute, 24 hours a day, and the department posts a new count every weekday except city holidays. On July 17, 2026, it counted 10,444 mold spores in each cubic meter of air. On May 1 of the same year, the count was 10,450.

Both of those days rated medium. The department's scale runs from low through medium and heavy to extremely heavy, and medium covers 6,500 to 12,999 spores. So a day with more than ten thousand mold spores in every cubic meter of Houston air sits in the middle of the scale, not at the top.

Your driveway and patio can take full pressure. Pavers are the exception, since a hard blast can wash out the sand in the joints.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on the surface and how dirty it is, but a pro who sees the whole property will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is pressure washing priced?
Mostly by the square footage and the surface — a concrete driveway is cheaper per foot than siding or a wood deck, which need a gentler soft-wash. Heavy algae, mildew, or oil stains add to it because they take detergent and a second pass.
Will pressure washing damage my siding or deck?
It can if it’s done at full pressure on the wrong surface — that’s why good pros soft-wash siding and wood. Our ballpark factors in the gentler method for delicate surfaces.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot showing the full surface you want cleaned — the whole driveway or the side of the house — gives the best read on the size and how dirty it is.
