It can't really be said what you can anticipate to pay for a certain power washing service due to it varying around the country, but here are some things to reflect on and to be aware of.
(1) Reputable pressure washing companies will almost never offer a solid quote over the phone. An experienced contractor knows there are way too many variables that can influence the price from one job to another. The great news is nearly all of them will present a free evaluation and will put a quote in writing so you know precisely what the exterior cleaning project will cost. If a contractor readily quotes you a price over the phone it could be a sign of an unethical company.
You Should Hire the Company that Offers the Lowest Price. Possibly but not always, here are some points to mull over:
(1) The pressure washing prices you see advertised may not be the price you are actually charged. Many home owners have figured out that the low price they saw advertised was only good until the estimate. Then they were bombarded with a variety of ridiculous up-charges.
(2) Some contractors' market approach is to win jobs by being the lowest bidder. They will then cut corners in order to turn a profit.
(3) Stemming from low start up costs, many companies come and go. When first getting started, a lot of companies do not train themselves because pressure washing looks easy and lucrative. So they lack the proper equipment, chemicals, insurance, knowledge, professionalism, and normally will charge a tremendously low price.
