How is pressure washing priced?
It depends on the job. Pros look at square footage, the type of stain (dust, oil, rust or hard-water calcium), the surface (concrete, pavers or stucco), access, and add-ons like sealing or re-sanding. Businesses on a recurring schedule are usually quoted differently than a one-time clean. That's why pros quote after seeing photos or the property. Your pros quote the exact price, free.
Pros set their own prices, and each one quotes your job after seeing photos or the property. Here is what they look at.
Size
Square footage drives most of the price. A 3-car or extended driveway takes longer than a standard 2-car, and a whole property (driveway, walkways, patio, house) takes longer still. Bundling areas into one visit usually works out better than separate visits.
Stain type
- Dust and monsoon grime: the quickest clean.
- Oil and tire marks: need degreaser and dwell time.
- Rust from sprinklers or fertilizer: needs a rust treatment.
- Hard-water calcium: common on block walls and pavers from irrigation overspray, and needs a mineral treatment.
Surface
- Concrete: cleaned with a surface cleaner for an even finish.
- Pavers: need care to avoid blowing out joint sand.
- Stucco and paint: washed with low pressure and cleaning solution (soft washing), not a high-pressure wand.
Access and obstacles
Two-story walls, tight side yards, gates, furniture, vehicles and where the water spigot is all change how long a job takes.
Add-ons
Paver sealing, re-sanding joints and heavy stain treatments are usually quoted on top of the wash. Ask your pro to list them separately.
One-time or recurring
Businesses, complexes and HOAs that clean on a schedule (monthly or quarterly) are usually quoted differently than a one-time clean. Mention it on the form.
