Pricing

Honest pricing ranges, not a quote, but close enough to plan.

Most contractors hide pricing. Most homeowners give up on quote forms when they don't know if the job is $200 or $2,000. Here's the range for every service James offers, close enough to budget by, with the caveat that every quote is exact and free.

Per-service pricing

How to read this: "From" is the typical low end for a small / accessible job. "To" is a typical mid-to-large standard residential job. Anything bigger, more complex or commercial is quoted on inspection.

About these prices

Why we publish ranges instead of fixed prices

Every exterior is different. A 3-bedroom Karori villa with shared driveway and two-storey access is a different job from a 3-bedroom Tawa brick-and-tile on a flat section, even though the bedroom count is the same. Fixed online pricing would mean either over-charging the easy jobs to cover the hard ones, or under-quoting the hard ones and renegotiating on the day.

We don't do either. The ranges above cover ~85% of standard residential jobs honestly. The actual quote is always free, always in writing, and always within 24 hours of you sending through your address. Photos help us quote without a site visit; complex jobs we come and look in person.

What affects the price within the range

  • Size and storeys, 4-bedroom two-storey + 80m of guttering is at the top of the range, 2-bedroom flat single-storey + 30m of guttering is at the bottom
  • Surface complexity, moss-heavy, salt-deposit-heavy, neglected-for-years jobs need more time
  • Access, easy kerb access vs steep hillside vs shared driveway
  • Coastal location, salt-neutralising chemistry on properties in Lyall Bay, Island Bay, Petone foreshore, Eastbourne, Kapiti Coast
  • Travel, Wairarapa jobs over 60 minutes from Johnsonville have a small surcharge

What doesn't affect the price

  • Whether you're home or not
  • Day of the week (Saturdays included)
  • Weather risk (we wear it, not you, if we have to come back, we come back)
  • Photo documentation, included free on every job

FAQ

Pricing FAQ

  • How much does a house wash cost in Wellington?

    Typical 3-bedroom single-storey house washes run $250–$650, with two-storey or larger properties $450–$950. Coastal homes (Lyall Bay, Island Bay, Petone foreshore) sit at the higher end because of salt-neutralising chemistry; sheltered inland homes usually at the lower end.

  • How much is gutter cleaning in Wellington?

    Standard 3-bedroom single-storey gutter cleans run $180–$350. Two-storey or longer guttering runs $350–$500. Body-corp townhouse complexes are quoted per site, typically $1,200–$4,000 for the full complex.

  • How much does roof cleaning cost?

    Soft-wash roof treatment for a typical 3-bedroom single-storey runs $280–$750. Two-storey or complex roof shapes (valleys, dormers) sit at the higher end. Moss-and-lichen treatment that kills at the root is quoted at $320–$850.

  • Do you charge extra for Kapiti or Wairarapa?

    Kapiti Coast jobs are at standard Wellington rates, same as central Wellington. Wairarapa jobs more than 60 minutes from Johnsonville have a small travel surcharge that we confirm in the quote.

  • Is there a minimum job charge?

    Yes, $180 for any standalone job. Most customers bundle services which beats the minimum easily.

  • Why do you publish ranges instead of fixed prices?

    Because every exterior is different. A 3-bedroom Karori villa with shared driveway and two-storey access is a different job from a 3-bedroom Tawa brick-and-tile on a flat section. The ranges cover 85% of standard jobs honestly; exact quotes are free and within 24 hours.
