How the pressure washing price calculator works
Each surface is priced by its own rate per square foot, because siding, concrete and wood take different time, chemicals and care.
Taller houses take longer and need more ladder or extension work, so 2 stories adds 15% to the house price and 3 stories adds 35%.
Condition adjusts every surface: heavy grime or mold adds 25%, light dirt takes off 10%.
The job price is rounded up to the nearest $5 and never goes below your minimum job price.
Tips from the trade
- Measure siding as the house perimeter × wall height, not the floor area.
- Always offer three options. Giving people a choice makes them choose which package, not whether to hire you.
- Set a minimum. Setting up and breaking down takes the same time on a small job as on a big one.
