Surfaces to clean
Add-ons (optional)
These figures are estimates to help you quote a job. Adjust the per-square-foot rates to match your local market, water and travel costs, and how you price.
It is a free tool that turns the surfaces you plan to clean and their square footage into a fast, itemized price for the job. Instead of guessing or reaching for a spreadsheet on every quote, you enter each surface, adjust the rate to match your pricing, and see the subtotal, a suggested range, and a recommended estimate right away.
Add one row per surface (driveway, deck, house siding, and so on), enter the area in square feet, and set the rate per square foot. The tool fills in a typical starting rate for each surface, which you can change to match your market. Tick any add-ons such as gutter cleaning or sealing, set your minimum service charge, and your estimate updates instantly.
Most pros price by the square foot, sometimes by the hour, and almost always with a minimum charge so a small job still covers travel and setup. Rates vary by surface because soft washing a roof or wood deck takes more care and product than blasting a concrete driveway. Local competition, water access, and how far you travel all move the number, which is why every rate in this calculator is editable.
These are common starting points in the United States. Treat them as a baseline and adjust for your area and costs.
| Surface | Typical rate |
|---|---|
| Concrete driveway, sidewalk, patio | $0.15 to $0.25 / sq ft |
| Wood or composite deck | $0.25 to $0.40 / sq ft |
| House siding (soft wash) | $0.20 to $0.40 / sq ft |
| Roof (soft wash) | $0.30 to $0.60 / sq ft |
| Fence, brick, pavers | $0.20 to $0.35 / sq ft |
| Minimum service charge | $75 to $150 |
Always measure or estimate the real square footage rather than eyeballing it, keep a firm minimum charge for small jobs, and price soft washing and delicate surfaces higher than flat concrete. Put the scope in writing on a signed estimate before you start, so the client knows exactly what is included and there are no surprises when the invoice arrives.
This calculator provides estimates for planning purposes only. Your final price should reflect your own costs, local rates, and the condition of each surface.
