That's the hard part done.

Price by the square foot, not by the gut
Charging "what the last guy charged" is how good operators quietly go broke. Measure the area, multiply by a rate that covers your water, chemicals, fuel, and time, and hold a job minimum so a tiny job still pays. Do that on every quote and your pricing stops being a guess.
Questions
- How much should I charge to pressure wash a driveway?
- Most pros charge $0.15–$0.55 per square foot, so a typical 600 sq ft two-car driveway runs about $90–$330. Flatwork like driveways sits at the lower end; house washing, decks, and heavy stains go higher. Always set a job minimum (often $150–$200) so a small job still covers your drive time and setup.
- Should I price pressure washing per square foot or per job?
- Quote the customer a single flat price, but build it per square foot so you never undercharge. Measure the area, multiply by your rate, then round to a clean number and apply your minimum. This calculator does exactly that.
- What per-square-foot rate should I use?
- It depends on surface and soiling: light concrete cleaning $0.15–$0.25, typical driveways/patios $0.25–$0.40, house/soft wash and heavy grime $0.40–$0.55+. Factor your water, chemicals, fuel, and time — and never go below your job minimum.
- Is this calculator free?
- Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, there is no sign-up, and nothing is stored anywhere but your own device.
