How long will it take you to pressure wash a house that’s 1500 sq?
For a professional crew, pressure washing a 1,500 square foot house exterior typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on siding material, height, and the extent of buildup. Straightforward vinyl siding in reasonable condition on a single-story home sits toward the shorter end of that range, while multi-story homes, heavy algae staining, or surfaces requiring soft washing, which involves a chemical dwell time before rinsing, push the job closer to 4 hours or slightly beyond. DIY jobs generally take longer than professional estimates, often adding an extra hour or two for setup, technique adjustments, and more cautious, methodical work on unfamiliar equipment. Factoring in setup, protecting landscaping, and cleanup time on top of the actual washing gives a more realistic total time estimate for planning purposes.
