What a pressure washing price list is for
Callers want a ballpark before they let you measure. A price list by surface, with typical per-square-foot prices and your minimum charge, gives them one and makes your quote feel fair when it comes. Add your own prices and the surfaces you do. A posted list also makes it easier to hold your price when a caller pushes back.
What to put on a pressure washing price list
- Price per square foot by surface.
