Almost no exterior cleaner publishes a price, so here are indicative Brisbane ranges for a house wash, a roof soft wash and a driveway, what moves the number, and why the cheapest blast is usually the most expensive thing you can book.
Short answer: for a typical Brisbane home, expect roughly $350 to $650 for a single-storey house or render wash, $500 to $1,200 for a roof soft wash, and $150 to $450 for a driveway. These are indicative, modelled ranges, not a quote. What actually sets your number is the mix of surfaces, how much growth is on them, and the access. Almost no exterior cleaner publishes a price, so here is how it really works.
These are the same ranges our pricing page and online estimator use. They are a starting point for a single visit, not a fixed quote.
Ranges are modelled for a Brisbane home in 2026 and move with the surfaces, condition and access on the day.
This is the biggest lever, and the one most quotes hide. Render, paint, roofs and solar panels need a low-pressure soft wash with the right detergent and dwell time, which is more skill and time than blasting concrete. The method sets the price, not just the area.
Light surface dust rinses off. Heavy lichen, mould and black streaking, common on shaded south walls and roofs under Brisbane tree cover, need a treatment pass and time to work. That is real labour and it shows in an honest quote.
A courtyard and a two-storey home are different jobs. Height, steep roofs and hard access need reach gear and more time. Gutters, downpipes, solar and fences are each their own line, so you can see the cost and choose.
The dollar figure is not the red flag. A single number with no method behind it is. Ask which surfaces get soft wash and which get high pressure, and why.
The lowest quote is almost always a one-pressure blast with no treatment and no insurance. On a delicate surface that means stripped paint, gouged render, cracked tiles or water forced in behind the cladding, and because the growth was knocked off the top rather than killed at the root, it greens up again within weeks. You pay twice: once for the cheap clean, and again to fix the damage or do it properly. A surface-matched job done once, with a no-regrowth guarantee, is the cheaper path over any real timeframe.
Use our online estimator for an indicative band in under a minute, then book a walkthrough. A good cleaner will give you a written Surface and Method Sheet: each surface, its method, its pressure and why, with the price beside it. That is the document that tells you whether a quote is honest, well before the truck turns up.
