pressure washer prices image
SquawkBox
I was gifted an old Sears Model #580751400 Craftsman Electric high pressure washer. The gpm is 1.6 and the max psi is 1150.
It's missing the gun assembly. I would like to purchase one, but my budget is limited. I can spend about 25 - 30 US.
Can anyone on yahoo recommend a decent/ suitable gun within my price range?

Any gun which you can connect to the washer will work equally..

What should I charge per hour for pressure washing?
Danny-Mac
Driveways, sidewalks, exterior, etc...I need to take into account driving time, gas for my car, gas for the pressure washer, and any maintenance costs.
I'm a high school grad looking to make some cash before I head off to college by providing pressure washing services for people in my community.

I'd call around to some pressure washing companies in the area and ask them how much they would charge to do a driveway. Call 4 or 5 companies and you'll get an idea of what others are charging. Unless you have a lot of experience doing pressure washing, then I'd take the number they're charging and shave like 35% off of it. Most people are weary of someone pressure washing their driveway if they don't have a lot of experience - but if you tell them your story, that you're a high school grad saving up for college, they'll be more willing to do it (knowing it's going to be less than the pros).
You need to figure out your daily expenses divided by how many driveways you would pressure wash per day. That will give you your expense per job. Subtract that from what you'll be charging and you'll get your profit per job. To make your prices somewhat consistent, take what you'll charge for a driveway and divide it by the average square foot for a driveway. That will give you a price per square foot. If you then do sidewalks or something else, you can just measure the square foot of the area you will pressure wash and multiply it by your price per square foot and voila, you've got your job cost. Since you already know what your approximate profit is, you should also be able to calculate those numbers and estimate them too.
Good luck!
