Pressure Washing Pricing And Bidding

The same $0.18 a square foot pays $143.45 an hour on a driveway and $57.99 on a roof — and a 30% rain rate pushes the rate you need from $0.10 to $0.1429.

Your floor rate, derived

A price copied from what others charge says nothing about your own costs.

This starts from what your year actually needs: $52,000 of take-home

income, $11,300 of overhead across the items listed, tax on

profit, and the share of your hours that are genuinely billable

(70% here, and the kit explains why not more).

That gives a floor of $76.79 an hour across 1,050 billable hours. Every step is printed so you can substitute your own

numbers — there is a blank worksheet for exactly that.

One rate card cannot cover a driveway and a roof

At the same $0.18 a square foot, a driveway pays $143.45 an hour and a roof pays $57.99 — because one cleans at 1,800 square feet an hour and the other at 500.

Then the season: a 30% rain rate pushes the rate you need from $0.1000 to $0.1429 a square foot. That is not a price rise, it is the price that was always required. Includes production rates per surface, the job size below which only a minimum charge works, and eight scripts for quoting, rain and damage.

8 client scripts

Each one carries a line explaining why it is worded that way, because

a script you do not understand is one you will not send. Placeholders are in

[BRACKETS] so nothing goes out in someone else's words.

- Quoting from a photograph without seeing the surface

- The customer who wants the driveway "touched up" for free

- Explaining why the roof costs more than the driveway

- A rain cancellation and who absorbs it

- Pricing a second visit on the same street

- The oil stain that will not come out

- Declining a job with no water access

- Moving a one-off customer onto an annual schedule

What this is not

These numbers are not a market price. They are arithmetic

about you — what your income target requires. They do not tell you what your

market will pay. If the number is far above what your market bears, that is real

information: something has to move, and quietly working below the floor is the

one option that cannot last.

These are scripts, not contracts, and nothing here is legal

or tax advice. No script threatens statutory interest, collections or legal

action — whether any of those is available to you depends on your contract and

jurisdiction. The 25% tax figure is a placeholder; ask your accountant for

yours.

Honest about the format

A printable PDF, not a physical product and not an editable file. One US

available immediately after purchase; nothing ships.

Refunds

If this isn't what you expected, email me within 30 days and I'll refund you in full — no need to explain. Because it's an instant download I can't take the files back, so I'd rather you just had your money back.
