2026 pricing guide from a local crew that cleans driveways across the Charlotte metro every week.
Driveway cleaning in Charlotte costs $75 to $150 when bundled with another service, or $125 and up as a standalone job. The price difference comes down to one thing: whether our crew is already at your house.
Driveway pressure washing is the most affordable service we offer. When you're already booking roof cleaning or house washing and add a driveway, it takes our crew maybe 20 to 30 extra minutes with equipment that's already running. That's why the bundled price is so much lower than scheduling a separate trip.
Below we cover what drives the cost difference and how bundling can cut your driveway price in half.
Based on our 2026 pricing for the Charlotte metro area
When our crew is already on-site for a roof cleaning or house wash, adding a driveway takes a fraction of the setup time compared to a dedicated trip.
Think about what goes into a standalone driveway cleaning: scheduling a crew, loading equipment, driving to your property, connecting to your water supply, running the pressure washer, cleaning up, and driving back. That overhead exists whether we're cleaning a 200-square-foot driveway or a 1,000-square-foot one.
Now compare that to a bundled visit. The truck is already parked. Water is already connected. The pressure washer is already warmed up. Our crew just swaps to the surface cleaner attachment, knocks out the driveway, and wraps up the job. Less time, less fuel, less scheduling, and we pass those savings to you.
That's why most of our driveway cleanings happen as add-ons to bigger jobs.
The final price depends mainly on how big your driveway is and what kind of staining we're dealing with. Material and overall condition factor in too.
A standard two-car driveway runs around 400 to 600 square feet. Longer driveways, circular driveways, or properties with extra parking pads take more time and cleaning solution. Square footage is the single biggest factor in pricing.
Poured concrete is the most common and straightforward to clean. Pavers and brick driveways require adjusted pressure and technique to avoid displacing joint sand. The material won't dramatically change the price, but it affects how we approach the job.
General dirt, algae, and mildew come off easily with standard pressure washing. Oil stains, rust, and tire marks may need pre-treatment with specialized solutions. Red clay (a Charlotte classic) responds well to pressure washing but can be stubborn when it's been ground in over time.
A driveway that gets cleaned every year or two takes less effort than one that hasn't been touched in a decade. Heavily neglected concrete with embedded grime, thick algae mats, or years of red clay buildup will take longer and may cost more.

Discounts apply when services are performed on the same visit. Mix and match — bundle as many add-ons as you want.
Example: your roof cleaning costs $600 and you add a driveway that would normally run $150. The driveway drops to $75. Clean roof and clean driveway for $675 total instead of $750 separately. Once your roof and siding look fresh, a grimy driveway sticks out, which is why most people end up adding it.
Unlike roof and siding cleaning (which use low-pressure soft washing), driveway cleaning is actual pressure washing: high-pressure water paired with the right equipment for an even, thorough clean.
When we clean a driveway, the process includes:
The whole process takes 20 to 45 minutes for a standard driveway, depending on size and staining. If you've ever rented a pressure washer from a hardware store, you know how long it takes with a basic wand. Professional equipment and technique cut that time in half while delivering better results.
Every 1 to 2 years keeps most Charlotte driveways looking good. But plenty of homeowners skip the schedule and just add a driveway whenever they're already booking a roof cleaning or house wash.
Charlotte's red clay soil is the biggest culprit. Rain splashes it onto your driveway, and over time that reddish-brown tint builds up until the whole surface looks stained. Add in algae growth from our humidity, oil drips from parked cars, and general wear, and a driveway can look rough after just one season.
That said, driveway cleaning isn't something most people put on a strict schedule. The most common pattern we see:
This ends up being every 2 to 3 years for most people, which is plenty to keep your driveway from getting out of hand. If you park multiple cars or have heavy foot traffic, annual cleanings make a noticeable difference.

Get Your Free EstimateDriveway cleaning in Charlotte runs $75 to $150 when bundled with another service like roof cleaning or house washing. As a standalone job, expect to pay $125 or more. The difference is setup and travel — when our crew is already at your property, adding a driveway takes less time and overhead.
A standalone driveway cleaning requires scheduling a crew, driving to your property, and setting up equipment for one relatively quick job. When we're already on-site for a roof cleaning or house wash, the equipment is out, water is connected, and the crew is ready. That efficiency lets us charge less for the add-on.
Absolutely. Concrete, pavers, and brick are all built to handle pressure washing. We use a surface cleaner attachment that distributes pressure evenly across the surface, which prevents the streaking and etching that can happen with a bare wand at close range. We adjust our technique based on your driveway material.
Every 1 to 2 years keeps most Charlotte driveways looking good. A lot of our customers just add driveway cleaning whenever they book a roof or house wash, which works out to every 2 to 3 years. If your driveway gets heavy use or sits under trees, annual cleaning makes a real difference.
It depends on the stain. Fresh oil stains and light buildup usually come out well, especially with pre-treatment. Deep stains that have soaked into concrete for months or years can be lightened but may not disappear completely. We pre-treat oil spots with a degreaser before pressure washing to get the best possible result.
Yes — red clay is one of the most common stains we deal with on Charlotte driveways, and it responds very well to pressure washing. Surface-level clay comes off easily. Clay that's been ground into the concrete over time takes a bit more effort, but our surface cleaner and pre-treatment handle it well.
