How Much Can You Make Selling Pressure Washing Door to Door?

Pressure washing is one of the best services to sell door to door — and most reps sleep on it. Here's why it works so well and what you can actually earn.

Why Pressure Washing Is Easy to Sell

The problem is visible. You can stand at someone's door, point at their driveway or siding, and say "have you thought about getting that cleaned up?" They can literally see what you're talking about. There's no convincing needed — the pitch is standing right there on their property.

Pressure washing quotes are also simple. No complicated measurements, no insurance claims, no financing. A rep can walk the property, explain what the job covers, and the business can quote it in minutes. Fast quotes mean fast closes — often same day.

Average Job Sizes and Commission

• Driveway only: $150–$300. Commission: $18–$36
• House exterior wash: $250–$500. Commission: $30–$60
• Full property (driveway + house + patio + walkways): $400–$900. Commission: $48–$108
• Deck or fence restoration: $300–$700. Commission: $36–$84

The commission per job is lower than some other services — but the close rate is much higher and the sales cycle is same-day. You can submit a lead in the morning and have a closed job by afternoon.

Volume Is the Play

Close 5 pressure washing jobs in a day across a neighborhood and you've earned $150–$400 from a single afternoon. Do that consistently and it adds up — especially in spring and summer when every homeowner is staring at their grimy driveway.

Best Times and Neighborhoods

Spring is the biggest season — homeowners want their property looking good after winter. Upscale neighborhoods where homeowners care about curb appeal close faster and at higher prices. Look for driveways with visible algae, siding with green or black staining, and patios that clearly haven't been touched in years.
