What affects the price

  • Surface area — bigger surfaces cost more, though the per-sq-ft rate often drops on large jobs.
  • Surface type — delicate surfaces like wood and some sidings need gentler soft washing and more care.
  • Grime level — heavy mildew, oil stains, or years of buildup take longer.
  • Access and height — second stories and tight spots slow the job down.
  • Chemicals — surfactants and treatments for mold or rust add cost.
  • Job minimum — most pros set a minimum ($100–$150) so small jobs are worth the trip.

How pros price it

Most pressure-washing pros price per square foot, then apply a job minimum.

Per-sq-ft pricing ($0.35–$0.77) keeps quotes consistent; hourly ($50–$200) works for unpredictable or heavily soiled jobs. A job minimum ensures a small driveway is still worth the drive and setup.

The fastest way to quote is to measure the surface, apply your rate, and check it against your minimum. ServicePros Hub's free pressure-washing calculator does exactly that, and the result drops into an estimate.
