How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Toronto? (Driveways, Siding, Decks and Roofs — 2026 Price Guide)

Most Toronto homeowners searching for a pressure washing quote get one of two things: a number that looks suspiciously low, or a quote they cannot compare to anything because every company presents pricing differently. Some charge per square foot. Some charge per job. Some have bundled packages. Some add on each surface separately. And a handful use a low number to get in the door before adding extras.

This guide gives you the real 2026 pricing across every surface type, explains what drives the cost up or down for a Toronto property specifically, and tells you what to ask before you book anything.

What Pressure Washing Costs in Toronto in 2026: Surface by Surface

Driveway Pressure Washing

A driveway alone runs $149 to $249 in Toronto for 2026, with the price depending primarily on the size of the driveway and its current condition.

Here is what that looks like per surface type:

Concrete driveways run approximately $0.15 to $0.30 per square foot. A standard two-car concrete driveway of around 400 to 500 square feet typically costs $150 to $220. Interlock paving stones run slightly higher at $0.25 to $0.50 per square foot because they require a rotary surface cleaner rather than direct wand pressure, which takes more time and protects the polymeric sand in the joints from being displaced.

If you have a larger driveway, the per-square-foot rate stays roughly the same and the total scales accordingly. A driveway of 700 to 800 square feet might run $200 to $300 depending on the condition and surface type.

One thing that affects driveway pricing more than anything else: how much buildup has accumulated. A driveway cleaned annually takes less time and fewer passes than one that has had two or three Toronto winters of road salt, oil drips and embedded grime baked into it. If your driveway falls into the second category, expect the quote to reflect that.

House and Exterior Siding

A standard two-storey home in Toronto typically costs between $350 and $550 to wash externally in 2026. One-storey homes and bungalows sit at the lower end, generally $250 to $380.

The variation within that range comes down to three things: siding material, how much biological growth (algae, mildew) is present, and building height and access.

Vinyl siding cleans faster and sits at the lower end of the range. Brick and stucco take longer because of their textured, porous surfaces, and they require lower pressure and more chemistry time, which pushes the price higher. Unpainted brick runs $0.20 to $0.35 per square foot, with soft washing being safer for older Toronto brick where the mortar may be lime-based and easily damaged by high pressure.

A critical point here: siding should never be pressure washed at high PSI. The correct method is soft washing, which uses low pressure combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution that removes algae, mold and grime without driving moisture behind the panels or stripping paint. The $100 to $200 saved by pressure washing siding instead of soft washing can result in $2,000 to $8,000 of damage that surfaces over the following two years. If a company is quoting you siding cleaning without mentioning soft washing, that is worth asking about before you book.

Deck Cleaning

Standalone deck cleaning in Toronto runs $150 to $350 in 2026 depending on the size and the deck material.

Wood decks require a calibrated low-pressure approach with cleaning chemistry appropriate to the wood species. High pressure on older or weathered wood causes grain raising, surface splintering and can drive moisture deep into the wood structure. Composite decking, which looks more durable, is actually more sensitive to incorrect pressure than treated wood and can be permanently scratched or discoloured by the wrong nozzle setting.

Deck pricing is also affected by how accessible the deck is, whether it is at grade or elevated, and how much furniture needs to be moved. A clear, open deck at ground level is the simplest job. An elevated deck with built-in seating and planters around an older home in North York or Etobicoke is a different scope.

Roof Soft Washing

Roofs should never be pressure washed. This is not a preference or a company policy. Asphalt shingles have a granule coating that high-pressure water strips directly off the surface, which voids manufacturer warranties and shortens the roof lifespan significantly.

The correct method for roof cleaning is soft washing: a low-pressure application of a specialist solution that kills the algae causing the dark streaking on shingles at the root level. The dead growth then rinses away naturally over the following weeks.

Cedar shake siding and roofing runs $0.35 to $0.55 per square foot using soft wash only. For asphalt shingle roofs, soft washing pricing depends on the roof area and pitch, but most Toronto homes run $300 to $600 for a complete roof treatment. Any company quoting a roof clean with pressure washing equipment should be declined.

What the Minimum Service Charge Means for Your Quote

Most operators carry $200 to $300 visit minimums. This matters practically if you are only cleaning one small surface.

If your front walkway is 120 square feet and you want it pressure washed alone, the per-square-foot rate might suggest a $40 to $60 job. But the company’s minimum call-out is $200. The walkway cleaning costs $200 whether it takes 20 minutes or an hour.

This is the main reason combining surfaces in a single visit makes practical sense. Adding the driveway, the rear patio and the house siding to a single visit means the minimum call-out cost is shared across a larger scope, and the per-surface cost drops significantly compared to booking each one separately.

Bundling: What Most Toronto Homeowners Actually Pay

When multiple surfaces are combined in a single visit, which is how most full-property cleans are structured, the total looks different from the surface-by-surface breakdown above.

A driveway plus front walkway plus rear patio in a standard Toronto detached home might run $300 to $450 as a package. Adding the house siding brings most full-exterior cleans to $500 to $900 depending on the home size, the siding material and the condition of each surface. A full package including driveway, walkways, patio and siding runs $500 to $900-plus for most Toronto homes in 2026.

The value of the combined visit is not just the lower per-surface cost. It is the convenience of a single crew, a single visit and a single invoice, versus coordinating multiple separate bookings for a property that realistically needs everything done in the same spring window.

Toronto-Specific Factors That Affect Your Price

Road Salt Buildup

Toronto winters deposit road salt spray, sand, mineral-heavy condensation and airborne grit on driveways and walkways, and freeze-thaw cycles bake these deposits onto the surface. For homes near the 401, QEW, Gardiner Expressway or any high-traffic arterial road, the salt accumulation on driveways and walkways by April is significantly heavier than on equivalent properties on quiet residential streets. Heavy salt buildup means more pre-treatment chemistry and more passes, which affects the time and the cost. The Premier Clean

Heritage Brick and Interlock

Toronto’s older residential neighbourhoods in the Annex, Rosedale, East York and throughout Midtown have a significant proportion of brick homes and interlock driveways. Both require specialist technique. Heritage brick with older mortar needs very low pressure and tested cleaning chemistry. Interlock needs rotary cleaning rather than wand washing. Companies with the right equipment charge appropriately for this. Companies without it either charge less and do damage, or cannot do the job safely.

Spring Timing and Booking Pressure

Spring is the highest-demand season for pressure washing across Toronto and the GTA. Most homeowners book in May and June, which means schedules fill quickly. Booking in March or April gets you better availability and in some cases better pricing before peak demand drives up call-out rates.

Questions to Ask Before You Book

Before confirming any pressure washing quote in Toronto, four questions are worth asking:

What method will you use on my siding? The answer should be soft washing with appropriate biodegradable cleaning solution, not high-pressure washing.

Do you use a rotary surface cleaner or a direct wand on interlock? A direct wand aimed into interlock joints displaces the polymeric sand that holds the pavers stable. The correct answer is a rotary cleaner.

Is the quote a flat rate or can it change on the day? Flat rate quotes covering the specific surfaces discussed are the professional standard. Quotes that adjust based on what the technician finds on arrival are a sign worth noting.

Are you fully insured? Any company doing exterior cleaning on your property should carry liability insurance and WSIB coverage. For work at height, Working at Heights certification applies.
