Measuring a pressure washing job is easy.
I use a 12" contractor's wheel and it's as simple as this:
First I measure the length and then I measure the width.
I take length multiplied by width to get total surface area. Once I have total surface are, I plug that number into the PressureWashingBusiness.com estimating calculator and it will give me a price estimate.
Figuring a pricing estimate is easy with the http://www.PressureWashingBusiness.com estimating calculator. First, you enter your hourly rate. Let's use $55.00 per hour as an example. (Your rates may vary.) With a surface clean, I can clean 20 square feet per minute. This job is 672 square feet and since it is a straightforward job I enter 50 as the difficulty modifier.
The estimating calculator has already told us that the work time is about 33 minutes.
Now, there are some other inputs.
Setup time: This includes moving patio furniture and covering flowers. We will use 20 minutes for this example.
Loading and unloading your equipment should take about 10 minutes.
This customer was only 5 minute away. So, 10 minutes is entered into travel time.
There were extraneous jobs for this customer so I use 20 minutes for those work activities.
The total time for this job is 93 minutes. At a rate of $55 per hour the price quote should be $85.25.
That all this is to do it for estimating this job.
