How to price commercial pressure washing jobs?
Short answerPrice commercial pressure washing by surveying the site, measuring each surface, adding after-hours scheduling, water and wastewater rules, equipment and insurance requirements, and a margin. Offer a scheduled contract for repeat areas, such as entrances and dumpster pads, with a stated frequency.
The explanation
A site survey comes first. Photograph each surface, measure it and note the access: loading docks, drive lanes, parking lots and entrances all have different traffic. Many sites need work at night to avoid customers and vehicles.
Wastewater matters in commercial settings. Local rules may limit what can flow into storm drains, and property managers may require reclaim equipment or proof of how water is handled. Check your local requirements and add the cost of compliance to your price.
Insurance and paperwork add cost too, since commercial clients often ask for certificates. Quote a fixed price for the defined scope and a repeat schedule for high-traffic areas. Review the price yearly, and keep before and after photos for each visit. Photograph the site before and after each visit.
