Pressure Washer pricing FAQ
Should driveways be priced by square foot?
Square footage can be a useful starting measure, but add adjustments for staining, edging, access, and the time needed to protect surrounding surfaces.
Do I need to charge more for soft washing?
If the job requires specialty solution, dwell time, plant protection, or a different risk profile, the quote should reflect that work.
Should a pressure washer publish an hourly rate?
An hourly figure can be useful internally, but the customer-facing format should match the work. Use flat surface or project pricing after a site review, with a minimum service-call charge for small jobs and make travel, materials, revisions, or add-ons clear before the job begins.
How do I use this pressure washer pricing calculator?
Start with the suggested inputs, replace them with your own monthly costs, income goal, and realistic billable hours, then use the result as a planning floor—not a guaranteed market price.
