Pressure washing prices in Jacksonville
What driveway, sidewalk and patio pressure washing costs in Jacksonville, why Florida concrete turns black, and how often to clean it.
In Jacksonville, concrete doesn't stay clean for long. Between the humidity, summer rain, oak trees and pollen, driveways and pool decks grow mildew and algae that turn them gray, green or black. A good wash brings the original color back and makes walkways less slippery.
Our price
Pressure washing is a flat $160 for two hours of work, which covers a typical two-car driveway and front walkway, or a back patio. If there's more to do, extra time is $80 an hour, only with your OK. A 3% service fee is added at checkout.
Why Florida concrete turns black
Those dark streaks and patches are usually mildew and algae, not dirt. They feed on moisture and shade, which is why the part of the driveway under the oak tree or along the north side of the house is always the worst. Rust stains from irrigation water and red clay tracked in from the yard are also common here.
How often to wash
- Driveways and sidewalks: once or twice a year for most homes
- Pool decks and patios: every 6 to 12 months, since they stay wet
- Shaded or north-facing areas: more often, they come back fastest
- Before selling or listing: always, it's one of the cheapest ways to improve curb appeal
Pavers, screen rooms and HOA notices
Pavers need lower pressure and a wider tip so the joint sand doesn't get blasted out. Screen enclosures and lanais can be rinsed, but the screens themselves need a gentle touch. If you got a letter from your HOA in Nocatee, Bartram Park, Eagle Landing or anywhere else about a dirty driveway, book online and pick the first open day.
Getting ready
