Pressure washing estimate calculator
Price a pressure washing job the way most crews do: each surface by the square foot at your rate, then one job minimum for the trip. Turn on the house wash, roof soft wash, driveway and flatwork, and gutters, type the square feet and your rates, and the calculator adds it up. It starts at sample rates, so type your own. Free, no account.

How to price a pressure washing job
Price each surface in its own unit, then check the total against one minimum. The calculator works in this order.
- List the surfaces the customer wants cleaned: the house, the roof, driveways and walks, gutters.
- Measure each one: wall area for the house, sloped area for the roof, length times width for flatwork, feet for gutters.
- Multiply each by your rate. Raise the house and gutter rates for taller homes, and the roof rate for steep, tall or mossy roofs.
- Add the lines.
- If the total is under the largest minimum among those services, charge the minimum. One minimum per trip, not one per service.
ExampleA one-story house at sample rates
- House wash: 1,800 sq ft of wall × $0.20
- $360.00
- Asphalt roof: 2,000 sq ft × $0.30
- $600.00
- Driveway and walks: 600 sq ft × $0.20
- $120.00
- Job price
- $1,080.00
The $350.00 roof minimum doesn't apply: the services come to more. A house wash alone on 600 sq ft of wall is $120.00, so the $250.00 house minimum is the price.

Skip the tape: get the square feet from an address
Measuring walls and roofs is the slow part of a washing quote. Measured Bid looks the house up in aerial roof data and works out the wall area for the house wash, the sloped roof area and the gutter runs, then prices them with your rates.
Your team can quote a wash without driving out. Check the surfaces, access and water on site before you start.
Measure each surface
Use these to get the square feet the calculator needs, or let Measured Bid measure the whole house.
FAQ
How much should I charge per square foot to pressure wash a house?
Angi puts house washing at $0.10 to $0.50 per square foot of home size, HomeAdvisor gives the same per-square-foot range (both updated in 2026), and Fixr lists $0.30 to $0.80. Build your own rate from crew time and costs. The calculator starts at Measured Bid's sample rate per square foot of wall, by story.
How do you price roof soft washing?
By the square foot of roof surface, measured on the slope. HomeAdvisor and Angi list $0.50 to $1 per square foot to wash a roof, and HomeGuide lists $0.15 to $0.70. Taller and mossy roofs take longer, so the calculator has a story adjustment and a moss multiplier.
What minimum should a pressure washing job have?
HomeAdvisor puts a typical minimum charge around $100, and Fixr says minimums of $100 to $350 are common. Charge one minimum per trip, the largest of the services on the job, not one for each service.
How do I price driveways and concrete?
By the square foot. HomeAdvisor and Angi list $0.20 to $0.40 per square foot for driveways and most outdoor concrete. Measure length times width for each slab, and add walks and patios to the same line.
Can I get the square feet without measuring the house?
Yes. Measured Bid measures the wall area and the roof area of any address from aerial data and prices them with your rates, so your team can estimate a wash without driving out. Check the surfaces on site before you start.
