Driveway Pressure Washing Cost Calculator
Estimate a driveway cleaning quote using square footage, surface type, soil level, access, labor, overhead, setup time, minimum fee, and target profit margin.
Formula
Area equals length times width. Base labor hours equal area divided by production rate. Adjusted labor hours apply surface, soil, and access multipliers. Direct cost includes labor, materials, equipment wear, overhead, and travel/setup cost. Recommended price equals direct cost divided by one minus target margin.
Example calculation
Example only: an 80 by 30 driveway with average soil, easy access, a 900 square foot hourly production rate, $65 labor rate, $35 materials, $20 equipment wear, 45 setup minutes, $30 overhead, and 35% target margin creates a starting quote estimate before you verify the actual job.
Common driveway pricing mistakes
Driveway jobs can be underpriced when operators quote only by square footage, ignore oil stains or paver complexity, skip setup time, forget equipment wear, or fail to use a minimum service fee.
