If your white vinyl fence has gone green along the bottom and gray on the shady side, you’re in good company. Here’s what washers actually publish for that job, what moves the number, and how to work out your own fence before anyone comes out.
What washers publish
These six companies post vinyl or fence cleaning prices on their own sites. Some price by the foot, some by the job, so read the last column before you compare.
| Washer (area) | What the page prices | Published price | How it’s priced |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoastPro Exterior Cleaning (northeast Florida) | Vinyl fence / wood fence | Vinyl $1.50–$2.25 per ft; wood $2.00–$3.00 per ft | Per linear foot, starting prices |
| Cool Breeze Premier Pressure Washing (Largo, FL) | Vinyl fence cleaning | From $30 (small yard), $80, $100, $150 (extra large) | Per job, by yard size |
| Elite House Wash (Connecticut and coastal SC) | Vinyl fencing / wood fencing | Vinyl from $79; wood from $89 | Linear footage, height, growth |
| Central Connecticut Pressure Washing | Vinyl fencing / wood fencing | Both from $99 | Linear footage and height |
| Classic City Power Wash (Athens, GA) | Wood, vinyl and composite fences | From $0.85 per ft, $99 minimum | Per linear foot |
| Southern Pro Exteriors (Middle Tennessee) | Fence, both sides (material not stated) | $1.85 per ft, $179 minimum | Per linear foot |
None of these pages calls fence cleaning an add-on or a stand-alone service, so don’t assume either. Ask.
Vinyl vs wood on the same menu
Three of these pages give separate vinyl and wood prices, and vinyl never comes out higher. The Florida per-foot list has vinyl at $1.50 to $2.25 and wood at $2.00 to $3.00. In Connecticut, one washer starts vinyl at $79 and wood fencing at $89, while another starts both at $99.
The pages hint at why. The Connecticut washer bases its wood price partly on the “specific cleaning solutions necessary,” and a Pinellas County washer says wood “is quoted separately based on size and the cleaning agents needed.” On vinyl, neither page mentions a special cleaner. If you have wood too, our wood fence cleaning cost guide covers it, and fence staining cost per foot picks up where cleaning leaves off.
What moves the price
- Length. Most pages that name a basis lead with linear footage.
- Height. Both Connecticut washers count it. A tall privacy fence is more panel per foot than a short picket.
- How green it is. One Connecticut page prices vinyl on “severity of organic growth.” A shady north run with thick algae takes longer than a sunny one with light dust.
- Sprinklers and gardens. The Florida yard-size list says price varies with “proximity to sprinklers/gardens.” Plants along the fence line need protecting, and sprinkler water can leave stains of its own. Our sprinkler rust stains guide explains those orange marks.
- Access and condition. The northeast Florida page says the final number “depends on size, condition and access.”
What a 150-foot fence costs
Our standard example is 150 feet of fence, so here’s the math on the published rates. These are our calculations, not prices any page printed:
- At $1.50 to $2.25 a foot, 150 feet comes to $225 to $337.50.
- At the Athens, Georgia starting rate of $0.85, it’s $127.50, above that company’s $99 minimum.
- At $1.85 a foot for both sides, it’s $277.50.
Short fences hit minimums. At $0.85 a foot, 100 feet works out to $85, so you’d pay the $99 minimum instead. If the house or driveway is due too, ask about doing it all in one visit. See our house washing cost guide and pressure washing cost guide for those prices.
What to ask the washer
- Per foot or per job? Several of these companies price by yard size or with a flat starting price, not by the foot.
- One side or both? Only one page here spells it out.
- Gates, posts and caps included? Ask whether they’re in the quoted run.
- Does the price cover heavy algae? Growth is a stated price factor on one page, so a very green fence may cost more than the starting figure.
- How will you protect my plants? Worth asking when the fence backs a garden bed.
