How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Burnaby? (2026 Prices)
Real prices for driveways, house siding, decks, fences, and gutters in Burnaby — plus what actually affects the final number and how to get the best value.
A clean driveway makes a big difference — and in Burnaby’s wet climate, pressure washing once or twice a year is well worth it.
Quick Answer: What Does Pressure Washing Cost in Burnaby?
Most Burnaby homeowners pay between $150 and $600 for a single pressure washing service. The exact price depends on what you’re washing, how big it is, and how dirty it’s gotten.
A small driveway might run $150 to $200. A full house wash on a two-storey home could reach $400 to $600. Bundles — washing the driveway, deck, and gutters in one visit — tend to be the best value and are very popular in Burnaby.
Prices in Metro Vancouver run slightly higher than the BC interior due to travel time, equipment costs, and demand. The ranges in this guide reflect what Burnaby homeowners actually pay in 2026 — not national averages that don’t apply here.

What Affects the Final Price?
You might get two quotes for the same job and wonder why they’re different. Here are the main things that move the number up or down.
How dirty is it?
A driveway that hasn’t been washed in five years will take twice as long as one that gets cleaned annually. Heavy moss, algae stains, oil spots, and embedded grime all add time — and time adds cost.
What type of surface?
Soft wood decks need lower pressure and more care than concrete. Vinyl siding cleans faster than stucco. The surface type determines which equipment and technique to use, and that affects pricing.
How easy is it to access?
A flat driveway is simple. A multi-level deck with narrow side access or a tall two-storey gable wall takes more setup and more time. Tight access often means a slightly higher quote.
Add-ons and extras
Things like applying a post-wash sealer to your deck, treating moss with a preventative solution, or cleaning out gutters at the same time will add to the total — but usually at a bundled discount if you ask.
- 📏Size of the area: Bigger surface = more time = higher cost
- 🧫Level of buildup: Moss, algae, oil, and mildew all take longer to remove
- 🪵Surface material: Wood and stucco need gentler, more careful technique
- 🔧Equipment required: Some jobs need surface cleaners, hot water units, or soft wash systems
- 📦Bundling: Combining services in one visit almost always lowers your per-job cost
House siding washing removes years of grime, mildew, and algae — common in Burnaby’s wet climate.
Soft Wash vs. Pressure Washing: Which One Do You Need?
This is one of the questions people ask most — and it matters more than most homeowners realize. Using the wrong method on the wrong surface can cause real damage.
Pressure washing
High-pressure water is ideal for hard surfaces like concrete driveways, brick, and stone patios. It strips away dirt, oil stains, and grime fast. Not ideal for soft or painted surfaces.
Soft washing
Soft washing uses lower water pressure combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution. It’s the right method for vinyl siding, painted wood, stucco, and roofs. It kills mould and algae at the root rather than just blasting the surface — which means results last longer.
| Surface | Right Method | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete driveway | Pressure wash | Tough surface handles high PSI easily |
| Vinyl siding | Soft wash | High pressure can crack, warp, or force water behind panels |
| Cedar or wood deck | Low-pressure wash | High PSI raises wood grain and causes splintering |
| Stucco exterior | Soft wash | Pressure can chip or crack the stucco surface |
| Brick walkways | Pressure wash | Handles pressure well; removes moss and weeds from joints |
| Fence (cedar) | Low-pressure wash | Too much pressure strips the wood’s protective layer |
| Roof shingles | Soft wash only | Pressure washing voids most shingle warranties |
A reliable pressure washing company in Burnaby will assess your surfaces before they start and use the right method automatically. If a company offers one-size-fits-all high-pressure washing on everything, that’s a red flag.
Bundle Your Services and Save
One of the best ways to get more value from a pressure washing visit is to combine services. If the crew is already at your property, adding a second or third surface costs you significantly less than booking it as a separate job.
Popular bundles for Burnaby homeowners include:
- 💧Driveway + walkways + steps: All connected, usually done in a single sweep — great bundle price
- 🏠House siding + driveway: The most popular combo for spring and fall cleaning
- 🍂Gutter cleaning + exterior wash: Gutters get cleared while the crew is already on site — saves a second callout fee
- 🪵Deck + fence wash: Ideal before summer — makes outdoor spaces look brand new
- ✅Full exterior clean: Siding + driveway + deck + gutters in one visit — the best per-dollar option for annual maintenance
Ask for a bundled quote when you call. At Eddy Property Services, bundling services in one visit almost always saves you money compared to booking them separately.
Spring and fall are the best times to pressure wash in Burnaby. Booking both visits at once — or setting up a recurring maintenance plan — can save you 10–15% off your total annual cleaning cost. Ask about seasonal packages when you call.
Combining gutter cleaning and exterior washing in one visit saves time and money — and keeps your home protected year-round.
Is Pressure Washing Worth It in Burnaby?
Short answer: yes — especially in Burnaby.
Burnaby’s wet climate creates the perfect conditions for moss, algae, and mould to build up on every outdoor surface. What looks like cosmetic grime usually isn’t. Left untreated, moss and algae break down wood fibres, concrete, and grout. That means earlier repairs, earlier replacements, and bigger bills.
Regular pressure washing protects your investment. A $200 driveway wash every year or two is far cheaper than a $4,000 driveway resurfacing because moss and freeze-thaw cycles cracked the surface.
It also improves curb appeal, which matters whether you’re staying put or thinking about selling. A clean exterior makes a property look well-cared-for — and that impression sticks.
According to WorkSafeBC, slippery outdoor surfaces are a leading cause of preventable injuries at home. Clean, algae-free walkways and steps reduce the risk significantly — especially important for families with kids or older adults.
- ⚠️Moss on wood decks accelerates rot — pressure washing once a year prevents thousands in deck repair costs
- ⚠️Algae on driveways gets slippery when wet — a serious safety hazard during Burnaby’s rainy months
- ⚠️Mould on siding can work its way behind panels and into wall cavities if left too long
- ⚠️Clogged gutters + dirty downspouts lead to water pooling around your foundation — a costly problem to fix

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to pressure wash a house in Burnaby?
House washing in Burnaby typically runs $250 to $600 depending on the size, storey count, and siding material. Soft washing is used for vinyl and stucco siding to avoid damage. A 2,000 sq ft two-storey home usually falls in the $350–$500 range.
How often should I pressure wash my home in Burnaby?
Once a year is the standard recommendation for Burnaby’s wet climate. Twice a year — spring and fall — is ideal for properties with heavy tree coverage, north-facing surfaces, or significant moss. Driveways and decks tend to need it most frequently.
Can pressure washing damage my siding or deck?
It can, if the wrong technique is used. High-pressure washing on vinyl siding, painted wood, or stucco can crack, warp, or chip the surface. A professional will use soft washing — lower pressure plus a biodegradable cleaning solution — on sensitive surfaces. Always ask which method they use before you book.
