Price the job from your costs, not your gut. Free, no signup.
Most pressure washing quotes are priced by gut feel, and gut feel leaves money on the table. This tool builds the price from your costs instead. Start by picking the surface preset, which loads a common per-square-foot rate you can edit to your market, then enter the square footage, stories, and condition, which adjust the price for two-story work and heavy neglect.
Set your minimum charge, which comes preloaded at $150, and add extra services like gutter cleaning as line items. If you are bundling services, enter a bundle discount percentage. Then enter your real costs: chemicals, fuel and water, travel, and hours on site, plus the hourly rate you want to hit for yourself.
The results show the full breakdown, the customer price, your effective dollars per hour, and a verdict: PRICED RIGHT, CLOSE BUT LEAKING, PRICED TOO LOW, or LOSING MONEY. Defaults are editable starting points, not market rules, so tune every field to your real numbers and real costs.
Example only, not typical earnings/pricing/numbers. A 2,000 sq ft house wash at $0.25 per sq ft with moderate condition (x1.2) gives a $600 base: 2,000 x 0.25 x 1.2 = $600. Add gutter cleaning at $75 for a $675 subtotal, then a 10 percent bundle discount takes off $67.50, for a $607.50 customer price. The $150 minimum does not apply since the price is well above it. Costs are $25 chemicals + $15 fuel and water + $20 travel = $60, so profit is $547.50. Over 3 hours on site that is $182.50 per hour, which beats a $75 target rate, so the verdict is PRICED RIGHT.
Living-area square footage, per the tool's own guidance. It is the number homeowners know and the number most washers quote on, which keeps your price comparable.
Your calculated price came in under your minimum. The tool flags this explicitly, because small jobs cost more per square foot: setup and travel are fixed no matter how little you wash.
PRICED RIGHT means your effective hourly rate meets or beats your target. CLOSE BUT LEAKING means you are within 20 percent below it. PRICED TOO LOW means you are further off, and LOSING MONEY means your costs exceed the quote entirely.
No. They are editable starting points, and the tool lists common ranges for each surface as a reference. Edit them to match what your market actually pays.
It takes a percentage off the subtotal, including add-ons, before the minimum charge is applied. The tool's guidance is that a small bundle discount on a house wash plus driveway wins more jobs than discounting either one alone.
