Homeowners often ask, “What is the real cost to pressure wash deck surfaces in my area?” CountBricks has crunched thousands of residential construction estimates and discovered that the answer depends on far more than square footage alone. From material condition to labor demand, our AI-driven platform uncovers every variable and delivers lightning-fast, voice-activated numbers you can trust.
1. Deck Size & Layout
• Straight-run boards are quicker to clean than intricate curves or multi-level designs
• CountBricks automatically measures square footage in seconds through blueprint uploads or smartphone scans
2. Wood Species & Age
• Softer pines require lower PSI settings, extending labor time
• Older cedar may need pre-treatments that add to chemical costs
3. Existing Finish & Contaminants
• Peeling stain, mildew or embedded rust stains demand stronger cleaners
• CountBricks material library updates chemical pricing in real time, down to the gallon
4. Accessibility & Set-Up
• Limited hose hookups or steep slopes raise mobilization hours
• Our AI calculates extra labor without back-of-napkin guesswork
Using current Jacksonville labor rates stored in CountBricks.com/services, here is a snapshot of what homeowners can expect in 2024:
• 100–200 sq ft deck: $145–$220
• 200–400 sq ft deck: $220–$340
• 400–600 sq ft deck: $340–$465
• Add $0.35–$0.55 per sq ft for stripping old sealers
Because CountBricks feeds on live vendor price sheets, these figures update automatically every morning—no stale cost data or surprise overages.
1. Labor: 65–70 % of total
2. Chemicals & water usage: 15–20 %
3. Equipment wear, fuel, insurance: 10–15 %
CountBricks itemizes every category so contractors see precisely where profit margins live and homeowners see exactly what they are paying for.

A Jacksonville homeowner uploaded their architect’s PDF to CountBricks. Within minutes, our AI takeoff identified 480 sq ft of surface area plus 37 linear ft of railing. The approved estimate totaled $395, including mildew remover and brightener. Actual field data came in at $387, a 2% variance credited to efficient hose routing suggested by our platform. The client received an invoice the same afternoon and left a five-star review on CountBricks.com/portfolio.
