Here are two things you need to know to bid or quote residential pressure washing.
1. Know your cost
How much is you business insurance, equipment cost, gas, vehicle and equipment maintenance, employees and marketing cost.
2. How many hours on average is it taking you to do the services?
When we first started out our goal was $200 an hour for pressure washing.
Here is a video how to price roof cleaning

Successful people want others to be successful. Its a beautiful thing!
Yes it is a beautiful thing
Thank you for pricing like a business and not a child laborer!
Josh Mallett most people thinks that making $25 an hour good morning. That thinking you will be out of business in a month
Haaaaa he said child labor haaahahaaa I'm done
@@kingofpressurewash how do you price second and third story houses? I'd like to get into this business but it seems like I have to have a boom lift to get up to the higher levels and the roofs. Thank you!
lostintime86 So we clean second and third floors from the ground. In my class that I teach I teach how to price how to clean and everything you need to know to be successful. You can go check out at pressurewashhelp.com. It’s a membership style course so you can start and quit whenever you want
Why would you price by the hour
When I started last summer I was only planning on doing it as a side hustle to earn money to put toward paying the mortgage off early. I charged $200 for my first 2 story. I have a job Saturday on the same street on a smaller 2 story and I quoted $337 for the price and got the job. He wanted some flat work and a small deck cleaned as well which brought the price up to $557. I've learned a lot on how to sell myself and make them understand the value and advantages they get by hiring me and they have no problem paying much higher rates than what I was asking less than a year ago.
You seem like an honest , responsible and hard working guy ......keep cleanin'
I try
This is the video I needed. Thanks bro I learn a valuable lesson... I charged this guy 150$ for a 2,000 sqf house and it took 3 hours to finish it
Live and learn right
Damn sounds like my very first driveway I under estimated on but then I learned I could charge way more 🤣
@@manikjones9004 same here
Still 50 bucks an hour 👍
Sometimes its feeling the customer out getting to know them, some customers will not pay as much so depends. working with them always helps the way i see it a job is better than no job, did a job for 1,350 once and she asked if i would come down to 1250. I didnt see loseing the job over a hundred so i did and got it
I really needed this information i just started my pressure washing business here in florida and its picking up. I am doing package deal now because of you. Thanks alot.
Package deals are definitely the way to go
@Alex L St Augustine Florida here.
Just set up my truck with a soft wash and pressure washing set up this week.

m.facebook.com/dawna.woodward.75
@Alex L I was working for a PW & Soft wash company, I was making him 1500 - 2000 a day just squirting water, ... he pissed me off so I went and purchased all my own stuff, 😉
Already have work lined up once I get insurance on Monday.
Congrats glad to hear biz is picking up, hope its still going good for you seeing your comment is a year old.
Question for you, how did you get your name out there so customers could find you in the begining, when first starting out? I want to get a side hustle going doing a few things but don't know how to get my name out there... and we all know you cant get any work if the customers don't even know you exist...obviously haha
My friend has package deals and makes a good profit with the up sales. I’m most definitely going to offer package deals next season to come. Thanks Jason
Packages are an easy way to get your average ticket up a lot
Man, really all what you say is thru, big companies don't like you video info.
Thank you 4 your time to share your business experience.
God bless you.
Man I really enjoy your videos. You are helping me get into the right frame of mind to start this business. Appreciate your time a lot.

Did you start?
Yes. Started about a year and a half ago. It’s a part time job for me as I have a full time job too. But I have a month off between shifts. So it’s been good. Not super busy, but just enough for now.
This video was well explained from a professional point of view! with years of experience, this information is absolutely worth the time. Thanks!
Much appreciated!
@@kingofpressurewash No problem at all !
Hell of a video jay nice work gave me some pointers that’s for sure on pricing things out. when wanting to get something off the ground u find yourself chasing your own tail at time.people like u put things in perspective thanks bossman

Glad to help
"You just upsold 'em, and you didn't even sell 'em crap!" HAHAHAHA. I'm charging more starting tomorrow. Thank you!
I died when you said ramon noodles that is so true. I was in that phase 5 years ago. I do pressure washing and asphalt seal coating. Now I just pay my bills up to April in summer save save is the game. Nice video
Awesome man that’s the way to do it
Same here, I Sealcoating and pressure washing, then kick in tree work., and Exterior painting . ATM buddy. Anything for money 😂
“You just ‘upsolded’ them!?”
This video was so helpful I appreciate for everything you do, I just started up my own pressure washing business and am thankful for your tips you provide. God bless!!
You are a superstar! "They don't need to know that."
Jean Mosquea thanks
Very informative. Thanks. I’m just starting my business and I had no idea of how much to charge.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you sir! Your video was very informative. I will be think of incorporating packages to my business, I really liked that idea. Once again, thank you.

This was really detailed and well done! Thanks again !
Thank you for appreciating the effort I put into making it detailed!
OMG..love this video!
Jennifer Atwood thanks for watching
How do you figure out the square footage of the house? Are you using the entire square footage or measuring walls?
I just do the living space so I go to Zillow and look at what they say usually go off of that
Same problem here on long island. I can wash 6-8 months out of the year. I work for a an home heating oil company delivering oil nov to April. I am thinking of learning the shrink wrap business to work till the end if the year.
Love the info man. Thank you for your transparency
Thanks for watching
"I'm getting wet right now" lol, that does it, I'm watching every video you got.
This is the best vid on this I've ever seen . been looking inti it for a while too
Dude thank you for the info very helpful. With no attitude. Thxs
Thanks for watching it
I've been a commercial driver for 13years owned my own truck for about 8years and finally realized there's no money in trucking. Now I'm kicking my self in the ass for not looking into pressure washing a long time ago.
You can make a lot of money pressure washing as long as you know how to bid and run a business
Im an auto hauler. Im making the same moves. Im getting off the road this spring. Im definitely getting into this business
Vince Hall awesome Let me know if you need any help
I would think commercial driver is a good livin...guys make over 70 to 100,000 a year. I guess depends where you live but thats good money
Great suggestions mate. Helped me a lot. Cheers.keep updating mate
Will do keep watching
I love the Up-Sell *after you won your bid/estimate.
Bonus for your subscribers:
Customer: I just want the house power washed.
Me: "**While I'm here**"... for another $ xxx, I can take care of the deck and patio?
Without it, It'll be like Having a New Suit with an Old Pair of Shoes!
Customer: Yeah,,,, Let's do it.💲💲💲
When you’re shooting for $300 per hour are you using a two man crew to get as much as possible in an hour using two machines on the truck?
We run One man trucks. Most houses wont keep up with two machines
Power Washing Okay understandable...
Is bleach okay to use on all houses for power washing?
I need to know what bleach can be used on and what it cannot for power washing. What ratios/percentages do you guys use? Will it discolor any surfaces that aren’t white? Will it kill grass/vegetation? Can it be used on asphalt driveways?
If not used properly it can do a lot of damage. I have lots of videos on this but I also have it in my membership to
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us..
My pleasure! Thanks for watching Ron
God bless you a lot and may your business increase more and more.
Thank you and same to you
EXCELLENT Video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you.

Great advice Sir and really appreciate all your knowledge
Jim Miller thanks for watching
Thank you for being so specific and open.
Just try to help people be successful
Pressure Wash Help . That’s truly nice
What is a good chemical to use on vinyl siding and what should I use on gutters to clean. I have a 4000 psi at 4gpm pressure pro pressure washer
Love your videos brother. Just look at the camera lol. Much love from georgia
I’ve gotten a lot better since that video. It just took me a while to get there
Lol good stuff man
Where is the water coming from though? Do you use the residents water source? If so, how does that all work?
Late, but why do you not do the windows with the basic house wash package? Chemical is bound to splatter on windows and it will look funny if one window looks cleaner than the rest. It also would be much easier to spray everything than to go around windows.
Hello Jason, thank you for putting all this information out there for us to become better!
Quick question, do you use pamphlets with catchy graphics to advertise your package deals? Or do you just explain them to each customer verbally?
Thanks again! 😁👍
We send out an email that shows what each package is in what you get for this price versus that price
Do you know people that pressure wash in two states and if so how do they do it for example move south to wash in winter
If 3% of 10% of SH mix safe on window’s? And will it kill plant’s? Please and thank you 🙏
Thanks for the good information
Thanks
Hi Jason, Do you have a flyer that has your package deals? Do you have online classes?
I do have online courses pressurewashhelp.com/training
thank you man good video!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching Eddy
Thank you for the valuable info its very much appreciated!
Thanks for watching
This was very helpful and straight to the point. Thank you sir
Thanks for the tips Jason!
Josh Deskin thanks for watching
I have asbestos siding any recommends for that?
I would just soft wash it with my house wash mix so that way you're not messing with the asbestos
You are a nice guy. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching
I'm learning so much from you. Thank you so much.
NICE VIDEO. APPRECIATE THE INFO. I JUST SUBD TO YOUR CHANNEL AS WELL. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Thanks for the sub
“I’m getting wet right now”😂😂
Great info!
I dont understand how you can get a 2000sq ft house wash done in 1 hour. It takes me 2 and a half hours minimum with a 4gpm. Does anyone else have this same experience?
It will be slower with a 4 gallon a minute. But a lot of it has to do with processes and not walking too much
Thank u u have made my brain think bigger
Do roofs usually included in a quote or should u charge extra?
Roof are extra. A lot more for roofs
Have a quick question.. could you do any videos on the supplies you would need for example the chemicals. Also which chemicals to use starting out here in Florida
Yes I will
@@kingofpressurewash did you post it
Hey quick question, when you say you don't remove the screens, do you make the customers remove them or do you just to the top pane with out the screen
anthony joseph the customer has to remove them. We don't go into houses.
Great info, thanks!😄🤑

Thanks for watching
Thank you, great video.
You are welcome!
Hi, I appreciate your channel and how upfront you are about your business and sharing all your know how. I started last year to test the waters but shouldn’t have due to borrowing a truck and investing in enough equipment to be able to do big residential and light commercial jobs. I sold my equipment in the last month due to having a baby. My question is... I have 25+ signs and thinking about starting up again in a few mo.after buying a small truck. But wanting to start small and do residential only. Minimal start as in 4gpm 4200psi Simpson from big box store, chemical injector, 15” surface cleaner, pump up sprayer for stronger applications, 50 to 100 ft pressure wash hose 100 to 150 of water hose. No hose reels or buffer tank till next year. Pretty much thought process of start out small, not much overhead and grow The customer/business side. What’s your thoughts on that sir? I jumped in to quick and at the wrong time last year. But I want to do it right, sustain better systems but keep everything simple and no stress. When I have a good customer base then buy better equipment setup nicely like yours.
2shots_Assured I like your thinking on getting customers. Lot of people we spend 10k and not have one customer and won't spend $1 on marketing.
I would rather spend 8k on marketing and 2k on equipment.
So starting small and getting customers is very smart
Power Washing yes sir, no customer means no business. Would you suggest any different on equipment wise? Good job on the business btw. I’m 21 with a baby and a wife wanting to be better for them. Look up to you. God bless you
I got a ? For a power washing business where do u get the water do u use the customer house water or u bring your own water I a water tote
How would you rate responsibid? And do you use the customers water?
Randy Matthews yes we use the customers water. Responsibid is an amazing email auto responder. It is one of the best tools for up selling and emailing repondingu
Power Washing thanks for the reply
motion sickness. good advice
Sorry hope you didn’t put too much 😂
Do you have a list of products that you use? Thx so much
You mean like Sodium Hydrochloride and roof snot. Thats about it. lol
Great ideas to incorporate into my quotes
Awesome Which one do you like the best?
Power Washing I am a one man shop and was quoting at $100 an hour but quoting in packages sounds like it makes sense. Makes for larger job pricing.
I have seen the big boy companies offering a whole house cleaning for $500 in my area
BRILLIANT!!!!
Thanks man
What is the process for adding wax to a house wash mix?
apply it after rinse.
Do we use car wash wax? One ounce to a gallon?
@@kevinmiller8382 you can use this
🐲Have you heard about Dragon Shield?
It’s a repellent and protectant that can be applied after house washing to give the substrate an added protection that will prolong your cleaning.

Right on the money !!!!! Great info !!! Thanks
Thanks for watching
You’re the man!
Hi, just getting started.(or trying) for a 2000 sq home. What would be a ruff estimate. House wash(does that include the roof)? Driveways and walkways? Exterior Window Cleaning?and what about a rv?(i got a customer that wants her rv power washed)
Jasón!!! U are my hero men!! Thanks u, really important information, thanks, now I'm have a idea how to make proposal, on wahs house!!
thanks man
Great info!
What product do you use for wax?
Super wax from Southside equipment
@@kingofpressurewash thanks for the reply.
Is there a product that can be used for spotless windows that can be sprayed from a pressure washer or a 12 volt? I've heard of people doing this for an up-sell.
You got new subscriber
Thanks
will you used customer water or your own water ?
Customer water
🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏿👍🏾 Another great Video.
What type of house wax would you recommend?
Respectfully
Jack Mizerak
Just ask Jack POWER WASHING
When you say square footage do you mean square footage of the floor plan? Or are you referring to the square footage of the siding, (length x height). I am mainly a painter contractor. And when I calculate for square footage- for spraying I calculate per square foot of surface to be painted. (Because there can be many, many more walls inside of a house adding so much more square footage)
Is it the same way for pressure washing price to square foot. Calculating square footage four surfaces to be pressure-washed?
Are you washing the inside of the home? No, so ofcourse you’re gonna use the home’s exterior square footage. Unless you wanna lose out on money
How much should I charge for a 9500 sqft 3 story condos
Wax??? Hows that work?
What benefit is that to the customer?
Wax can give the house a little bit of a shine. It will also help keep the mold from growing as quick.
Hey Jason. I'm curious about the wax on a home. What kind of wax do you use and what's your process with it?
We clean the house. And then we down stream wax on the house. I get it from Southside equipment in Louisville from Russ
@@kingofpressurewash Thank you Sir for the response. No brushing or anything needed for the wax? Is ok if it gets on windows?
Daniel Burkey No brushing need it. You do want to rinse the windows and not have any left on the windows
Oh. And subscribed jaja
Great info, thank you.
I have two questions.
1. How do you present your packages to the customer? Do you have a flyer, and list everything out, or just tell them the teirs?
2. What is this wax the you speak of?
Thanks buddy.
Great content
We use responabid to give our customers bids.
With responseabid it will give you 3-4 different packages
Superwax from russ
shop.pressurewasherky.us/Super-Spray-Wax-Concentrate-5-Gallons-SESSW-5.htm
Power Washing Do apply this when you are doing a rinse and do you just mix some in your buffer tank?
How much is insurance and everything you need to start a business
This is a broad question. General libility can run about 500-1000 or more depending on what you are gonna do.
If you are starting from nothing you can start a good pressure washing businesses for $3000-4000
Do you have any suggestions on what company I should get with for the insurance ? I started myself and been searching.
Hen’ri Singleton call progressive insurance. They’ll forward you to another company they use
Thanks bro
Do you have a simple bid sheet?
good info
What did you mean by add wax if you will?
Add wax as a upsell
