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.
