How to Estimate Pressure Cleaning

Pressure washing is a way to blast dirt off the surface of an object, like your driveway or house, in order to clean it. However, if you are considering renting or buying a pressure washing or hiring a professional pressure washer, there are costs to consider. Hired pressure washers often charge per square foot, so take the size of your home or yard into consideration.

      Estimate the cost of purchasing a pressure washer. Low end pressure washers cost between $70 to $200 and have electric motors. A higher quality home pressure washer with a gas motor will be between $300 and $1,000. A commercial pressure washer will be even more expensive, from $1,000 to $25,000.

      Estimate the cost of hiring a professional pressure washer. They usually charge between $0.04 to $0.80 per square foot. That means power washing a typical driveway costs between $100 and $420, and washing a 2,100 square foot home costs between $150 to $750 in most cases.
