Pick the surface, enter the area, and get a priced estimate in seconds — with a job-minimum floor and a rough time-on-site estimate. Rates are editable starting points you can tune to your market.
Price = area × your rate per ft², with a job-minimum floor
Time uses a typical production rate per surface — adjust for access, soiling, and setup. Rates are editable starting points, not a fixed price list.
Get a ballpark before you call around, so you can compare quotes and spot a bid that's way high or suspiciously low.
Different surfaces price differently — a soft-wash roof isn't a concrete driveway. Pick the surface, enter the area, and quote with a built-in job minimum. In ServicePros Hub it drops straight into a proposal.
Pricing pressure washing comes down to one line: area × your rate per square foot — with a job minimum so small jobs still pay.
Rates vary by surface because the work does: a house soft-wash, a concrete driveway, a wood deck, and a soft-wash roof all take different chemicals, technique, and time. The calculator pre-fills a typical starting rate for each surface (editable) and applies a job minimum — the higher of your calculated price or your minimum — so a tiny job never prices below what it costs you to show up.
It also estimates hours on site from a typical production rate (square feet per hour) for that surface, so you can plan the day. Adjust for access, how dirty the surface is, and setup/teardown.
Most residential pressure washing runs about $0.15–$0.40 per square foot depending on the surface, with job minimums commonly $150–$250. A typical driveway or house wash lands in the low-to-mid hundreds. Use the calculator to price your specific job.
Common starting points: house/siding ~$0.20, concrete ~$0.15, wood decks ~$0.30, soft-wash roofs ~$0.40. These are editable in the calculator — adjust for your local market, chemical costs, and labor.
Charge by the surface's rate, not one flat number. Siding soft-washing and roof soft-washing carry higher rates than flat concrete because of chemicals and technique. Pick the surface in the calculator and it uses the right rate.
Yes. Drive time, setup, water, and chemicals cost the same whether the job is 200 or 2,000 square feet. A job minimum (often $150–$250) makes sure small jobs still cover your costs. Enter yours and the calculator applies it automatically.
It depends on the surface and your equipment, but typical production rates run roughly 1,000–2,000 ft²/hr for flatwork and less for detailed soft-washing. The calculator estimates on-site hours from the surface you pick.
