Illustration for What a Two-Car Driveway Wash Should Cost, Line by Line
Line Sample price Fair range Verdict
Driveway wash, two-car, 600 sq ft $150 $95–$200 Fair
Sidewalk, front walk and curb $50 $0–$75 Ask
Oil stain treatment $75 $20–$75 Ask
Pre- and post-treatment $50 $0–$50 Ask
Heavy mold or algae surcharge $25 $0–$50 Watch
Total $350

The sum is $150 + $50 + $75 + $50 + $25 = $350. Adding the fair-range ends gives $95 + $0 + $20 + $0 + $0 = $115 to $200 + $75 + $75 + $50 + $50 = $450. $350 sits inside that span; the real question is whether each line belongs.

Ten of the eleven flat prices fall between $95 and $200; the eleventh, $250–$400, comes from photos. Per-foot cards can fall under their own minimum: $132 in Nashville becomes $149, and $150 in Kansas City meets a $300 visit minimum unless you add a service. Our price index puts a two-car driveway at $129 to $175 for most providers, typical $150, across 17 providers.

Walks, oil spots and treatments: the lines that move a driveway quote

Walks and curb: often already in the price

A Tampa Bay ladder prints “All prices include sidewalks, walkway and street gutter”, and a Jacksonville package at $129 “Includes driveway, side walks, walkway to front door and front porch!” A Largo page lists walks “only when listed”; a Tulsa card prices them from $75 (patio, walkway and sidewalk cleaning cost).

Oil stains: ask how many the line covers

A Georgia price list prints “Oil stain treatment included”, so spots come handled; a Cook County washer charges “Stain removal will cost you $20 to $40 per stain”, and a Lockport, New York card lists “Oil Stain Treatment: $40–$75.” An old stain may only lighten (what works on oil stains).

Pre- and post-treatment: $50, or built in

A San Jose rate card splits it: Basic Clean at $149, Premium at $199 with “Professional detergent pre-treatment” and “Post-treatment for long-lasting results”, a $50 step ($199 - $149). A Nashville card builds it in, ending with “a post treatment that slows the algae”. So $0 to $50 is fair.

Heavy growth surcharge: only for what you can see

A Naples price list adds “For extreme mold growth there may be an addition $25 - $50 for chemicals” on its 2- to 4-car lines. Ask to see the growth first.

Should be included, not extra:

Sealing is separate: one Kansas City card prices a concrete wash at $0.25 a square foot and “Cleaning + Sealing Included” at $1.00, so 600 sq ft is $150 washed against $600 washed and sealed (sealing before winter). Adding the house wash can absorb a minimum, and a Cook County washer gives “a discount of up to 30%” (house wash plus driveway combo).

Five questions to send back with a driveway quote

  1. Are the walk, sidewalk and curb already in the wash price?
  2. How many oil stains does the treatment line cover, and what does one more cost?
  3. Is pre- and post-treatment in the wash price, or is that the $50 line?
  4. What triggers the heavy-growth charge, and will you show me first?
  5. Is this price for my driveway, or your starting price?

The house-wash quote check covers the house side.
