What to Include on a Pressure Washing Invoice

A pressure washing invoice should list each surface as its own line: house wash, driveway, walkways, deck, fence, roof. Per-surface pricing is how the industry quotes, and the invoice should mirror the quote exactly. Note the method where it matters: "roof, soft wash" tells the customer you did not blast their shingles.

Include your business details, the service address, a unique invoice number, the service date, any pre-treatment or sealing lines, the total, and payment terms. Before-and-after photos attached to the invoice email close the loop and feed your review pipeline.

Common Pressure Washing Pricing Structures

Exterior cleaning prices per surface, with square footage behind the math:

  • House washing: $200–$450 for a typical single-family soft wash, rising with stories and square footage.
  • Flatwork: driveways $100–$250, sidewalks and patios by area at roughly $0.10–$0.50 per square foot.
  • Decks and fences: $150–$400 for cleaning; staining or sealing afterward is a separate, larger line.
  • Roof soft washing: $300–$700 for typical residential roofs. Specialized chemistry and risk justify the premium over flatwork rates.

Set a job minimum ($150 is common) so small stops cover setup time. Bundle discounts (house plus driveway) raise ticket size while keeping margin.

Tips for Getting Paid on Time

Steady cash flow keeps the business alive. A few habits make the difference:

  • Collect on completion. Walk the property with the customer, then run the card at the door. Residential exterior cleaning is not a Net 30 business.
  • Photos before and after. They justify the price, protect against damage claims, and make the review ask natural.
  • Quote per surface, invoice per surface. Matching lines from quote to invoice means zero surprises and faster payment.
  • Book the next visit on the invoice. "Annual house wash, reserve next spring at this price" turns one-time jobs into a route.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a pressure washing invoice include?

Your business details, the service address, a unique invoice number, the service date, each surface cleaned as its own line (house, driveway, deck, roof), the method where relevant (soft wash), pre-treatment or sealing charges, the total, and payment terms.

How much should I charge to pressure wash a house?

A typical single-family house wash runs $200–$450 depending on size and stories. Driveways run $100–$250, decks and fences $150–$400, and roof soft washing $300–$700. Per-square-foot math ($0.10–$0.50 for flatwork) sits behind those flat quotes.

Should I charge per square foot or per job?

Quote flat per-surface prices to customers and use per-square-foot rates internally to build them. Customers compare flat prices easily; square-foot pricing on the invoice invites amateur math disputes. Keep a stated minimum ($150 is common) so small jobs cover setup.
