How this estimate works

This calculator applies national planning rates to the project details you enter, then uses a broad state cost adjustment. It shows a range because contractor pricing, site access, permits, disposal, materials and local demand vary.

Adjusted area cost = square feet × project rate × surface factor × condition factor × story factor × state factor.

Example estimate

A 2,000 sq. ft. two-story vinyl-sided home in Texas, in standard condition, produces a typical planning estimate near the middle of the displayed range. Change the defaults above to match your own project.

What the estimate includes

The result separates the main cost components and applies the selected state adjustment. It is a budgeting tool, not a contractor quote. Ask local providers what labor, materials, cleanup, taxes, permits and warranties their bids include.

Before you hire: Get multiple written quotes, confirm insurance and licensing where required, and ask about exclusions. Costs can vary within the same state.

Frequently asked questions

How much does pressure washing cost per square foot?

Many residential jobs are priced by area, but project type, surface, access and minimum service charges matter. This calculator adjusts the base rate for those factors.

Is power washing the same as pressure washing?

Both use pressurized water. Power washing may use heated water, while soft washing uses lower pressure and cleaning solution for delicate surfaces.

Does the estimate include detergent?

The planning range includes ordinary setup and supplies. Specialty stain treatment or restoration may cost extra.
