Want the real quote, done for you?
This is a rough number. Vorkeon builds the full pressure washing quote from one sentence:
- Materials with waste, and crew time from your own pace
- Current prices from building-supply stores near the job
- A clean PDF with your logo that the customer signs on their phone
- Then the invoice, reminders and your crew's hours, in one app
What drives the price of a pressure washing job
- Surface type. Concrete takes high pressure; siding and wood need low pressure or soft washing.
- How dirty it is. Moss, oil stains and years of grime take longer.
- Chemicals. Degreasers and cleaning solutions add material cost.
- Height. Second-story walls need ladders or extension wands.
- Water access. Bringing your own water adds time and gear.
- Sealing. Sealing pavers or decks after washing is an add-on.
A worked example
Example only, made-up numbers, not a price guide. A 1,000 sq ft driveway and walkway at 0.05 material (cleaner and fuel) and 0.25 labor per sq ft: 1,000 × 0.30 = 300. Add 100 for oil stain treatment, for 400. With 30% markup the quote is 520 before sales tax. Many washers also set a minimum job price to cover travel and setup. Prices vary by region; always check local costs.
What to put in your pressure washing quote
- Each surface, its area and the method (pressure or soft wash)
- Stain treatment and any chemicals used
- Plant and window protection
- Water source and who supplies it
- Sealing or other add-ons
- A note on stains that may not come out fully

Pressure washing quoting questions
Should I have a minimum charge for pressure washing?
Many do. Setup, travel and pack-up take the same time for a small patio as a big driveway. A minimum price makes small jobs worth doing.
Can pressure washing damage surfaces?
Yes. Too much pressure can etch concrete, splinter wood and force water behind siding. Use the right pressure for each surface and say in the quote which method you will use.
How do I price a pressure washing job?
Multiply the surface area by your material and labor cost per square foot, then add your markup to cover overhead and profit. Add tax on top when you send the quote.
What markup should I use?
Use the markup that covers your overhead (vehicle, insurance, tools, office) and leaves the profit you want. Many contractors land between 15% and 35%, but your own costs decide it.
