Wondering what pressure washing costs around Cairns, Innisfail and the Cassowary Coast? Here is an honest 2026 guide to local pricing, what drives the cost up or down, and how to get an accurate quote without the guesswork.
What affects the price of a pressure wash?
No two jobs are the same. The main things that move the price are:
- Size of the area — a single driveway is very different to a full house wash plus paths.
- Surface type — concrete, pavers, render, timber and roofing all need different methods and pressure.
- How dirty it is — heavy black mould, lichen and years of red-dirt build-up take longer than a light freshen-up.
- Access — steep blocks, second storeys and tight side gates add time.
Rough price guide for Far North Queensland
As a general guide only, here is the kind of range you can expect locally. Your actual price depends on the points above, so treat these as ballpark:
- Driveway or concrete area: from around $150 to $350
- Single-storey house wash (soft wash): from around $300 to $600
- Paths, patios and pool surrounds: from around $120 to $300
- Roof clean or soft wash: priced per job after inspection
Commercial and strata work is quoted per site.
Why the cheapest quote often costs more
A bargain price usually means rushed work, the wrong method for the surface, or no insurance. Too much pressure on render or roofing can cause real damage. Done properly, pressure washing is matched to the surface — high pressure where it is safe, gentle soft washing where it is not.
