Price per sq ft shrinks as jobs get bigger
Here is the same flat concrete job at different sizes with the calculator’s example numbers:
| Concrete area | Price | Per sq ft | Real $/hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 sq ft | $150 | $0.75 | $101.64 |
| 576 sq ft | $150 | $0.26 | $62.46 |
| 1,000 sq ft | $190 | $0.19 | $55.17 |
| 2,000 sq ft | $340 | $0.17 | $58.90 |
| 3,000 sq ft | $490 | $0.16 | $60.50 |
Example only, using the calculator’s starter numbers: $65 per hour target, 500 sq ft per hour on flat concrete and 750 on siding, $5 / $10 chemicals per 1,000 sq ft, $8 equipment cost per washing hour, 30 minutes setup and cleanup, 10 round-trip miles at $0.35, 30 minutes driving, $150 minimum, rounded up to $5. These are not market rates.
A per-sq-ft rate is a good way to explain a price, but quote from your time and set a minimum, or small jobs won’t pay.

What is the going rate per square foot for pressure washing?
It depends on the surface and the source. Angi lists $0.10–$0.50 per sq ft for houses and $0.30–$0.55 for driveways. HomeGuide lists about $0.40 per sq ft overall, $0.08–$0.20 for cold-water concrete cleaning and $0.30–$0.50 for fences.
Why are small jobs more per square foot?
Setup, travel and cleanup are the same whatever the size. Angi notes the per-square-foot rate drops on larger jobs because overhead is fixed, and HomeGuide notes small jobs cost more per sq ft because of the minimum service charge.
