Pressure Washing in Fredericksburg, TX
Clear Choice pressure washes driveways, walkways, patios, and house exteriors across Fredericksburg and the Texas Hill Country. Concrete gets the high-pressure treatment it needs. Siding gets a low-pressure soft wash that lifts the grime without forcing water behind it. Both are done by the same people who clean your windows, and both come with the same guarantee.
What does pressure washing cost in Fredericksburg?
Pricing is based on the surface — how much of it there is and what's on it. Not an hourly rate. That means the number we quote is the number you pay, and a job that takes longer than expected is our problem, not yours.
Concrete and siding are priced separately, because they're genuinely different work. Driveways are usually the most straightforward thing to quote. House washing depends on the height, the material, and how much organic growth has taken hold.
If you're already a window cleaning customer on a Silver or Gold plan, your plan discount applies to pressure washing too.

What surfaces do you clean?
Driveways — the most common job we do, and usually the biggest single improvement to how a property looks from the street.
Walkways and sidewalks — the strips that pick up the most foot traffic and the most organic staining.
Patios — including the areas under covered porches, where dirt collects without rain to rinse it.
House exteriors — siding, soffits, and eaves, cleaned by soft wash rather than high pressure.
Concrete is done with a surface cleaner rather than a bare wand. It's the flat spinning tool that covers a wide path at even pressure. The difference matters: a bare wand in the wrong hands leaves visible stripes across a driveway that don't come out, because they're etched into the concrete rather than sitting on it.
What's the difference between pressure washing and house washing?
The pressure. This is the single most important thing to understand before you hire anyone.
Concrete can take high pressure. It's dense, it's flat, and the dirt is mechanically bonded to it. Pressure is what removes it.
Siding cannot. Turning 3,000 PSI on Hardie board, wood, stucco, or vinyl forces water up behind the laps and into the wall. It can strip paint, splinter wood, and leave you with moisture inside the wall cavity that nobody sees until it becomes a real problem. It can also void siding warranties.
House washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution instead — the detergent does the work, and it gets rinsed off gently. It kills the mildew and algae at the root rather than just knocking the surface layer off, which is why a proper soft wash stays clean noticeably longer than a blasted one.
If a company quotes you house washing and talks about PSI, ask more questions.
Why does Hill Country concrete get dirty so fast?
Three things, and they're all local.
Caliche and limestone dust. If you're on or near an unpaved road — and a lot of properties out here are — you're getting a constant film of fine pale dust. It's alkaline and it bonds to concrete rather than rinsing off.
Hard water and sprinkler overspray. The same calcium and magnesium load that leaves water spots on your windows leaves mineral crust and rust-colored streaking on concrete. Well water with iron in it stains worse.
Oak and cedar. Live oaks drop tannins that leave dark leaching stains under the canopy, and cedar pollen season coats everything. North-facing surfaces that stay shaded hold moisture and grow algae on top of all of it.
None of this is dirt you can hose off. It's why a driveway can look permanently grey and still come back near-original when it's cleaned properly.
How often should you pressure wash?
Once a year covers most properties in town — driveway, walkways, and a house wash, usually in spring once cedar season is over.
Twice a year if you're on a caliche or gravel road, or if you have heavy tree cover. The dust and the tannin staining both accumulate faster than annual cleaning keeps up with.
Before you list, before an event, before guests. Fredericksburg runs on visitors, and a clean driveway and porch is one of the largest visible improvements you can make to a property in a single afternoon. If you run a short-term rental, this is the one that shows up in photos.
The main reason to stay on a schedule is that organic staining gets harder to remove the longer it sits. Algae and tannin that have had two years to set take more work than the same stain caught at one.
Do you pressure wash commercial property?
Yes — storefronts, restaurant patios, tasting rooms, office walkways, and dumpster pads.
Main Street businesses have a specific version of this problem: your entryway is the first thing a visitor's eye lands on, and Fredericksburg gets a lot of visitors. Stained concrete and a grimy façade read as "closed" or "not worth stopping" from across the street, no matter how good things look inside.
We schedule commercial work around your hours — early mornings before opening, or after close — so nothing happens in front of customers. Most storefronts and patios are done in a single visit.
Recurring schedules are available, and they're worth it for anywhere with outdoor seating or food service.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Fredericksburg and work across the Hill Country: Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Johnson City, Dripping Springs, and South Austin.
Fredericksburg and the immediate surrounding area is where we do most of our work, so scheduling there is usually quickest. For the outer towns we typically batch jobs into the same day, which sometimes means a few days' flexibility on timing — we'll tell you upfront when you call.
Not sure if you're in range? Call and ask.
What makes Clear Choice different?
We know which pressure to use. Concrete gets high pressure and a surface cleaner. Siding gets a soft wash. The damage from getting that backwards is expensive and permanent, and it happens constantly.
The guarantee is specific. Find a spot we missed within seven days and we come back and fix it at no charge. Not "satisfaction guaranteed" — a defined window and a defined remedy.
We show up when we said we would. If we're running late you'll hear from us before your appointment time, not after.
One company for the whole exterior. Windows, screens, tracks, and pressure washing from the same crew, on the same visit if you want. Most people would rather book once.
We're local and independent. Not a franchise with a call center in another state.
We're rated 5.0 on Google.
