Pressure washing pricing varies by surface, size, and access. Here's a practical framework.

Driveways and flatwork: Typically priced per square foot. Calculate with your actual production rate (sq ft per hour) and hourly labor cost.

Houses: Often priced per linear foot, per story, or per overall size. Factor in height, surface type, and setup time.

Decks and fences: Per square foot of surface area. Staining/sealing adds significant labor — price separately.

Mistakes to avoid: Not including setup and breakdown time. Underpricing roof soft wash (it takes longer than it looks). Forgetting chemical/material cost.

Track actuals: Log real time per job type. TimeFotos keeps job records by address for reference.
