Contractor Pricing Reference
Per-square-foot rate ranges for pressure washing, paver cleaning, and pool deck coating. Use these as a starting point for building estimates — then adjust for your market, equipment, and actual costs.
Last updated: June 2026
Pressure Washing Rates
Per-square-foot rates for common residential pressure washing surfaces. Net deck area (pool water excluded) is the correct measurement basis for pool decks.
| Surface | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete driveway | $0.08 | $0.20 |
| Concrete patio | $0.08 | $0.18 |
| Pool deck (net deck area) | $0.10 | $0.25 |
| Paver driveway or patio | $0.15 | $0.35 |
Paver Cleaning and Sealing Rates
Paver jobs are priced higher than plain concrete — paver joints require lower pressure and more passes. Sealing is a common upsell that significantly increases ticket size.
| Surface | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Paver cleaning (no sealing) | $0.15 | $0.35 |
| Paver sealing — basic acrylic | $0.80 | $1.10 |
| Paver sealing — polymeric/wet look | $1.10 | $1.50 |
| Clean + seal bundle | $1.00 | $1.80 |
Pool Deck Resurfacing and Coating Rates
Total installed rates (material + labor) for common pool deck coating systems. Always confirm current supplier pricing before quoting material costs.
| Surface | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic overlay / cool deck | $3.00 | $5.00 |
| Spray texture / kool deck | $3.50 | $6.00 |
| Rubberized or elastomeric coating | $4.00 | $7.00 |
| Decorative stamped overlay | $6.00 | $10.00 |
Minimum Job Floors
Always set a minimum job price. On small jobs, per-square-foot math produces a base price that doesn't cover mobilization and time. A minimum floor protects margin on small or tight-access jobs.
| Service | Typical minimum |
|---|---|
| Driveway pressure washing | $100–$150 |
| Pool deck pressure washing | $150–$250 |
| Paver cleaning (no sealing) | $150–$200 |
| Paver clean + seal | $300–$450 |
| Pool deck resurfacing | $500–$800 |
