Pressure washing estimate calculator

This prices a pressure washing job the way a crew actually quotes it. Walls and siding are taken off by the square foot at your wall rate, driveways, patios and decks at your flatwork rate, and a trip and setup charge covers the drive and the rig. It shows your chemicals and fuel as the cost they are, and works out what the crew earns per hour on site after them, which is the number that tells you whether the price is right before the customer does. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan saves it against the customer and sends it under your own name.

Walls and flatwork are different rates because they are different work

Siding is washed at height with a low-pressure soft wash and the right chemical; a driveway is surface cleaned with a flat nozzle at pressure. They take different time per square foot and carry different risk, so they carry different rates. The tool asks for both areas and both rates, because a single per-foot price either gives away the wall work or over-prices the driveway.

The setup charge is the drive, and it belongs on the estimate

Every job costs the drive, the hose-out, the hose-in and the rig check whether it is a 400 square foot patio or a 4,000 square foot house. A trip and setup charge on its own line pays for that and stops the small job losing money; folding it into the per-foot rate makes the big job look expensive for no reason.

Earned per crew hour is the check on the price

Chemicals and fuel are your cost, not the customer's line, and the tool takes them off the price and divides by the crew hours on site. That figure is what the job pays you per hour of a crew's day, and it is the honest test of a rate: if it comes out below what the crew costs you, the rate is wrong however it compares to the competitor down the road.
