How Much Should You Charge for Pressure Washing?
Pricing is one of the biggest challenges for new and growing pressure washing businesses. Charge too much and customers disappear. Charge too little and you leave money on the table.
This guide breaks down the real formulas pressure washing companies use in 2025.
Common Pressure Washing Pricing Methods
- Square footage pricing (house wash, driveway)
- Linear footage pricing (fence cleaning)
- Flat rates (roof wash, patios)
- Travel fees based on distance or radius
QuoteMakers builds these formulas directly into your instant-quote website.
