How to price pressure washing
Pressure washing is priced per square foot. Flat concrete (driveways, patios) runs about $0.15–$0.40/sq ft; house siding soft-washing $0.20–$0.60; wood decks and fences $0.25–$0.75 because they need lower pressure and more care. Always set a minimum ($100–$150) so small jobs cover travel and setup.
Soft washing (low pressure + cleaning solution) is the right call for siding and roofs — and it commands a premium because it's a skill, not just a machine. Price for the chemistry and the safety, not just the time.
