The biggest cost driver in a pressure washing quote isn't the brand of equipment or the experience of the crew — it's the square footage of what needs to be cleaned. A 1,500-sq-ft ranch in Carolina Forest will always cost less than a 3,500-sq-ft two-story in DeBordieu Colony, because there's simply more surface area to treat. Here's what a full exterior clean typically runs on the three most common Grand Strand home profiles.
Single-Story Ranch (1,500–2,000 sq ft)
A single-story home on a slab is the easiest pressure washing job on the Grand Strand. The roof is low, the eaves are reachable, and the wall surface is compact. A full exterior clean — house wash, roof soft-wash, driveway, and deck — runs approximately $1,249 to $1,580. Bundle discount of 15% applied. House wash alone is typically $360 to $440.
Two-Story Coastal (2,200–3,000 sq ft)
The most common Myrtle Beach profile. Soft-wash from the ground with extension equipment, no ladders on the siding. A two-story full exterior clean runs approximately $1,580 to $2,040 with the 15% bundle discount. House wash alone runs $500 to $720. Three-story coastal properties (common in Ocean Drive, North Myrtle) add roughly 18% because of reach and height.
Three-Story Coastal (3,000–4,000+ sq ft)
Pawleys Island raised beach homes, Litchfield Beach three-story rentals, and Cherry Grove oceanfront homes. Full exterior clean runs approximately $2,040 to $2,400. Roof cleaning on a steeper coastal pitch runs $900 to $1,400. Most three-story jobs take two crew members and a full day.
