How I actually quote a pressure washing job

A lot of pressure washing quotes feel like a used-car negotiation. I don't do that. Here's exactly how I get to your number.

I use Google satellite imagery (or a quick walk-around) to measure:

• Wall square footage for house washing
• Driveway and walkway square footage
• Deck / patio square footage
• Linear feet of fencing

Photos help here. Light green mildew is standard rate. Heavy black mildew, moss, or embedded stains adds a condition multiplier (usually 20–40%).

If a house is on a steep lot, or if beds and shrubs are packed tight against the walls, prep time goes up. That's factored in.

Gutter brightening, screen removal, garage floor, back patio — I quote each piece separately so you can pick and choose.

I always give a range, not a single number, because a real number requires eyes on the property. For 90% of jobs, the actual invoice lands in the middle of the quoted range.

You get the quote by text or email. You decide when. If you want to do just half the job to fit a budget, that's fine — I'll tell you which half gives the biggest visible impact.
