Santa Rosa, Sonoma County
Pressure washing in Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa is the largest city we serve and the most spread out, which is why it is the one place our travel zones split. South Santa Rosa is a shorter run from the valley than the north side, and the quote reflects that rather than averaging it.
Travel to Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa straddles two zones. South Santa Rosa is Zone 1 at $45; north Santa Rosa is Zone 2 at $75. Either fee is waived on a recurring plan, or on any job whose pre-discount subtotal reaches $1500.

What we run into in Santa Rosa
A much wider range of housing than the valley
Santa Rosa runs from pre-war bungalows near downtown to subdivisions built in the last few years, and the right method changes with it. Newer stucco and fiber cement take a soft wash; a sealed paver driveway and a modern composite deck want two different approaches again. We price per surface, so a mixed property is quoted as what it actually is.
Fire rebuild neighborhoods have newer exteriors with older trees
In the rebuilt neighborhoods the siding and roofs are new, but the surrounding mature trees are not. That combination drops organic debris onto surfaces that have never been cleaned, and gutters fill faster than the age of the house would suggest. Gutter cleaning is the cheapest preventive job on our card when bundled with a house wash.
Commercial frontage and property management
Retail frontage, restaurant patios, dumpster enclosures, and drive-thru lanes are all on the published commercial card. Property managers with several addresses usually run a recurring plan, which discounts every visit and waives the travel fee regardless of which side of town the property is on.
Most common problems here
Wildfire Soot & Ash
Fine grey-black residue that needs rinsing before it is scrubbed, not after.
Oil & Grease Stains
Driveways, shop floors, and restaurant flatwork across the city.
Moss & Algae
Shaded concrete and north-facing walls, particularly under established trees.
Rust Stains
Sprinkler overspray on concrete is the usual cause here.

Questions from Santa Rosa customers
- Why does Santa Rosa have two different travel fees?
- Because the city is large enough that averaging would overcharge half of it. South Santa Rosa is Zone 1 at $45 and north Santa Rosa is Zone 2 at $75. If you are not sure which side you are on, give us the address and we will tell you before you commit to anything.
- How do I avoid the travel fee entirely?
- Two ways, both published. Any recurring plan waives it on every visit. Otherwise it is waived once the pre-discount subtotal reaches $1500 — which a house wash combined with a driveway and a deck will often reach on its own.
- Do you serve Rohnert Park and Cotati?
- Yes. Both are Zone 2, the same as north Santa Rosa, so travel is $75 under the same waiver rules.
- Can you clean soot off a house that was near a fire?
- Yes, and the method matters more than usual. Soot is abrasive, so it has to be flooded and rinsed off rather than scrubbed in. Dry-brushing or going straight at it with pressure grinds it into the paint. Read the soot page for what we do and in what order.
