Is the exterior of your home looking dingy? If so, we’ve got good news for you and your neighbors! Thumbtack, a home services app used by millions, is offering neighborhood purchasing discounts of $50 off** in select areas on pressure washing services. Pressure washing professionals will safely clean any surface, from driveways to decks to siding — saving you time and money while leaving your house (and your neighbors’!) looking brand new.
How Neighborhood Purchasing Works
Homeowners in certain neighborhoods can save big with neighborhood purchasing discounts through Thumbtack. Neighborhood purchasing works by bundling multiple customers’ bookings within a neighborhood on a certain day. Neighborhoods are defined by ZIP code, meaning others who book select services within your ZIP code can take part in neighborhood purchasing.
This bundling process allows hired professionals to get to more homes and complete more jobs in a shorter amount of time. By combining multiple local bookings into one day, professionals can spend less time and money commuting, and more time completing jobs — and those savings are passed down to you, the customer, in the form of a $50 discount.
Here’s how neighborhood purchasing works:
- Sign up here for pressure washing services.
- Hire a professional to come to your home on a day when they will also service other homes in the area. This will save them time and money by reducing commute time.
- Get those savings passed right back to you with a $50 discount on your pressure washing services.
- Note that while this deal cannot be combined with other offers, you’ll be pressed to find one as good as this!

Why Pressure Wash Your Home?
Pressure washing is an often-overlooked, but important, part of home maintenance that helps remove mold, dirt, mildew, grease and more unwanted materials from your home. Many of these materials are difficult to remove with just a scrub brush, or they’re located in hard-to-reach places that require special equipment. A gas or electric pressure washer uses water mixed with specially formulated soaps and works on a variety of exterior surfaces, such as driveways, siding, fencing, patios and more.
Having a freshly pressure-washed home also makes it more marketable and visually appealing if you are trying to sell. It helps preserve new paint jobs and saves money on costly repairs in the future. It also helps keep harmful materials like mold and mildew out of the home.
Pressure washing is different from power washing because power washing uses a higher water temperature to clean, which means that you shouldn’t power wash softer surfaces like siding or wood decks. Pressure washing is safe for a variety of surfaces and still removes tough stains or build-up.
Yes, It’s Worth It To Hire A Professional Pressure Washer
Hiring a professional to pressure wash your home allows you to stay safe while saving time and money. Depending on the area that needs to be washed, professionals can usually get the job done in 20 to 45 minutes. If you’re new to pressure washing, the same job may take you twice as long as it would a professional.
Professional pressure washers also know how to safely work with a high PSI (pounds per square inch) level. Gas-powered pressure washers have a PSI between 2,000 and 3,000, while the typical garden hose has a 40-60 PSI. If you take the DIY approach, you could risk injury from handling the high pressure, especially if you aren’t used to it. Alternatively, washing your home with a hose will take significantly longer, since the pressure is significantly lower. Calling in a professional pressure washer will help you avoid injury and finish the job in no time.
Pressure washing on your own can also be expensive. Expect to pay a few hundred dollars if you decide to make this a DIY project. While prices vary depending on the model, retailer, and brand, gas pressure washers typically cost anywhere from $250 to $6,000*; electric pressure washers fall somewhere between $100 and $2,000. While renting a gas pressure washer is slightly cheaper, a rental will still cost between $40 and $100 per day. Prices may also increase depending on the PSI range.
Meanwhile, if you hire a professional through Thumbtack, you’ll save $50 on your pressure washing services. Hiring a professional to pressure wash your home can cost as little as $35 per hour depending on the square footage of the space, the supplies needed and the complexity of the job — making this the most cost-effective option.
On average, professional pressure washing costs about $300 per job. The national average range is $250 to $350, but depending on your property and specific pressure washing needs, you may end up paying around $132 to $150 on the low end or $651 to $899 on the high end.
Some pressure washing professionals charge an hourly rate, which typically ranges from $75 to $87 per hour. Others calculate their price based on the square footage of the area you need pressure washed. Typical pricing starts at around $0.10 to $0.16 per square foot, but may be closer to $0.30 to $0.70 per square foot.
