How to price pressure washing jobs
A pressure washing price is either a flat price for a job you can see whole, or a count times a rate for a surface that comes in every size. A two-car driveway, a house soft wash and a roof are flat. A patio, a long walk, a pool deck or a fence is measured. The calculator above takes both; the list below is where your own numbers go.
Pressure washing price per square foot
For concrete, pavers and fences, measure before you quote: length times width for a slab, the run along the line for a fence. Keep one rate for cleaning and a higher one for sealing, since sealing is a second visit of work on the same square feet. Write the square feet and the rate on the estimate, so the customer can see where the total came from and the next job on the same slab costs the same.
Soft wash and roof
A house soft wash and a roof soft wash are their own lines, priced flat by the house. Many pressure washers quote them from the number of stories and the siding, and keep a separate price for the roof, since it takes a different mix and more time. Put each on its own line even when you do both on one visit.
A minimum service charge
A small job still has the drive, the setup, the hoses out and the hoses back. A minimum service charge is the least a visit costs, whatever the count comes to. Put it on your list and say it when you quote. The calculator uses it when the sum comes to less.
Condition and stains
Heavy mildew, oil, rust and years of grime take longer than the same surface in ordinary condition. Rust stain removal is a line of its own; for the rest, look before you quote and write what you saw on the estimate. The customer sees what the extra is for, and the clean driveway next year costs what your list says.
