Most pressure washing jobs price at roughly $0.15 to $0.75 per square foot, or $50 to $100 an hour, depending on the surface, the soiling, and your region. Driveways sit at the low end, house soft-washing in the middle, and decks higher because of the prep. The skill isn't knowing the numbers — it's building a flat quote from square footage and an hourly target, then protecting it with a job minimum.
We run our own home-service companies, so we know underbidding is how you stay busy and broke. Here's a real pricing breakdown by surface, what moves the number, how to bid fast, and where a quick, professional quote wins the job.
High pressure, fast coverage. A typical two-car driveway often lands around $100–$200. Oil stains and heavy mildew push it up — quote those separately.
Soft-washing uses chemicals and care, not just pressure. A single-story house often runs $250–$500. Two stories add height, time, and risk — price for it.
Wood needs lower pressure, careful technique, and prep to avoid damage. The extra time and the risk of a callback justify the higher rate.
Setup, travel, and chemicals cost the same on a small job. Set a minimum so a tiny porch doesn't lose you money. Never quote below it to "be nice."
Get the square footage — measure on site or from clear photos and the address.
Multiply by your per-foot rate for that surface, then add for chemicals, height, and heavy soiling.
Check it against your hourly target and your job minimum. If it's below either, raise it.
Send one clear flat price fast. Speed wins jobs as often as price.
