How Much Does House Washing Cost in Kankakee, IL?


If you’re noticing green algae, mold, dirt buildup, or dingy siding, you’re probably wondering what it costs to have a professional wash your home. In the Kankakee, Bradley, Bourbonnais, and surrounding areas, the average cost of house washing in 2026 ranges from $225 to $600, depending on home size, siding type, and how dirty the exterior is.


At Green Pro Services, we use safe soft washing, not high pressure, to protect your siding and restore your home’s curb appeal.


Below is a clear, simple breakdown of real-world pricing.


2026 House Washing Price Breakdown (Kankakee Area)

Small Homes (1,000–1,400 sq ft)

$225–$325
Perfect for ranch homes and smaller vinyl-sided houses. Removes algae, mildew, dirt, and insect staining.


Medium Homes (1,500–2,000 sq ft)

$300–$425
This is the most common home size in Kankakee and Bradley. Includes full soft wash of siding, trim, and exterior surfaces.


Large Homes (2,100–3,000+ sq ft)

$425–$600+
Larger two-story homes, multiple peaks, or homes with heavy buildup fall into this range.


Add-On Services

  • Gutter brightening (tiger stripe stain removal): $75–$150
  • Exterior window cleaning add-on: $50–$120
  • Concrete power washing: $100–$250
  • Deck or fence cleaning: $75–$200

Combine services to save money—most homeowners do!


✔️ What Affects the Price?

1. Home Size & Layout

More peaks, more stories, and more surface area = higher cost.

2. Siding Type

Vinyl is cheapest to wash. Aluminum, stucco, brick, and Hardie board can take more time and care.

3. Dirt / Algae Level

Heavy green and black algae or long-neglected siding may require stronger solutions or extra dwell time.

4. Yearly Maintenance vs. First-Time Wash

A home cleaned annually is cheaper to wash than one that hasn’t been touched in 5–10 years.


🧼 Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing Prices

Here’s where homeowners get confused—house siding should almost never be power washed.
Soft washing uses low pressure and safe detergents to kill algae at the root.

  • Soft Washing: For siding, roofs, trim, soffits, exterior surfaces
  • Power Washing: For concrete, patios, driveways, and brick

Soft washing is safer and gives longer-lasting results.


Is Professional House Washing Worth It?

Absolutely. A proper soft wash:

  • Removes algae, mold, mildew, and dirt
  • Prevents siding rot
  • Extends the life of your exterior
  • Instantly boosts curb appeal
  • Protects your paint and windows

Many Kankakee homeowners schedule a yearly maintenance wash to avoid buildup and keep costs low.
