Pressure washing in Louisville, KY
The Tenant Turn provides pressure washing in Louisville, KY for homes and rental properties. One crew can wash the deck or porch and then fix the loose boards, clean the gutters and paint on the same visit, so you are not booking a washing company and a handyman separately. It pairs with deck repair, gutter cleaning and exterior painting.
Pressure washing in Louisville with The Tenant Turn is billed at $75 an hour with a 2-hour minimum, the same rate as every handyman job. The time depends on how much surface there is and how dirty it is, so tell us what needs washing and send a photo, and we will say what to expect before we book.
What our pressure washing covers
- Washing decks, porches and front steps
- Washing patios and walkways
- Washing driveways
- Washing siding and fences, at lower pressure
- Removing mildew, algae and built-up grime
- Prep before painting, staining or sealing, on the same visit
Which surfaces we wash, and how hard
We wash the outside surfaces of a house that collect green and grime: decks, porches and front steps, patios and walkways, driveways, siding and fences. We match the pressure to the surface. A concrete driveway takes a lot, and wood, brick and siding take much less, because too much pressure splinters wood and chews out the mortar between bricks.
Louisville is humid, so mildew and algae show up fast on shaded steps and the north side of a house. A wash takes it off, and a washed surface is also the right starting point for exterior painting or sealing a deck.
What pressure washing costs in Louisville
We charge $75 an hour with a 2-hour minimum, the same as every handyman job. How long it takes depends on how much surface there is and how dirty it is. Send us a photo of what needs washing and a rough size when you request a quote and we will say what to expect before we book.
Wash first, then repair, seal or paint
A deck that is going to be sealed or stained has to be washed and left to dry first, and paint does not stick to mildew. So we wash, then do the deck repair the wood needs, then seal or paint once it is dry. In the fall it also goes well with a gutter cleaning, since the downspouts empty onto the walkway and the steps you are already washing.
Pressure washing for landlords and turnovers
A washed porch, walkway and set of steps changes how a rental looks from the street before a prospect walks in. Landlords add it to a rental turnover, and it fits a heavy duty turnover when the outside of the unit needs as much work as the inside.
Pressure washing around Louisville
We wash houses and rentals across Louisville, including Jeffersontown, Shively, St. Matthews and the Highlands, and across the river in southern Indiana. Houses under mature trees and on shaded lots collect mildew fastest, so the steps and the north side are where we usually start. See the full list of areas we serve. Everything we do is part of one Louisville handyman service.
Our 30-day guarantee on pressure washing
Pressure washing carries a 30-day guarantee, and you walk the job with us before we leave. If we leave an area streaked, or our washing damages a surface we agreed to wash, call us and we come back and fix it. Mildew that grows back in a damp season is not a defect, and it is normal on shaded surfaces, so we tell you how to slow it down.

Pressure washing questions
How much does a pressure washing company charge?
We charge $75 an hour with a 2-hour minimum. The size of the surface and how dirty it is decide the time, so send a photo and a rough size and we will say what to expect before we book.
What is the difference between pressure washing and power washing?
Power washing uses heated water, and pressure washing uses water at normal temperature. For the mildew, algae and grime on a deck, driveway or siding, cold water at the right pressure does the job.
Can pressure washing damage wood, brick or siding?
Yes, if the pressure is too high. It splinters wood, strips paint and chews out the mortar between bricks. We use lower pressure on those surfaces and a higher pressure only on concrete.
Should I pressure wash my deck before staining it?
Yes. Stain and sealer need a clean, dry surface, so we wash the deck, let it dry, make any board and railing repairs, and then seal or stain it.
Can you pressure wash and paint in the same visit?
Wash first, then paint once the surface is fully dry, which can mean a second visit. We can schedule it so it is one job. See our exterior painting.
Do you pressure wash rentals between tenants?
Yes. Landlords add a wash of the porch, steps and walkways to a rental turnover so the unit looks ready from the street.
