A transparent two-signal model so you can defend the number to your customer.
Rate-based price
Area × surface rate × condition multiplier. This is your market-friendly anchor.
Cost-plus price
(Labor + chemical + travel) ÷ (1 − target margin). Protects your profit.
The recommended price
The higher of the two — and never below your minimum charge.
Factors that affect job price
Surface type
Roofs and decks command higher per-sq-ft rates than driveways.
Condition
Heavy mildew, oil stains and algae mean more dwell time and chemical.
Access & travel
Long drives, second stories and tight access raise the real job cost.
FAQ
Driveways usually run $0.20–$0.25/sq ft, house siding $0.25–$0.35, roofs $0.40–$0.60, decks $0.30–$0.45, patios $0.20–$0.30 and fences $0.25–$0.40.
Each surface has a productivity rate in sq ft per hour. We multiply by a condition factor — heavy soil takes 60% longer than light.
WashCalc enforces your target margin. If your costs (labor, chemical, travel) exceed the rate-based price, we raise the price to protect profit.
