Measuring a pressure washing job is easy.
I use a 12″ contractor’s wheel and it’s as simple as this:
First I measure the length and then I measure the width.
I take length multiplied by width to get total surface area. Once I have total surface are, I plug that number into the PressureWashingBusiness.com estimating calculator and it will give me a price estimate.
Figuring a pricing estimate is easy with the http://www.PressureWashingBusiness.com estimating calculator. First, you enter your hourly rate. Let’s use $55.00 per hour as an example. (Your rates may vary.) With a surface clean, I can clean 20 square feet per minute. This job is 672 square feet and since it is a straightforward job I enter 50 as the difficulty modifier.
The estimating calculator has already told us that the work time is about 33 minutes.
Now, there are some other inputs.
Setup time: This includes moving patio furniture and covering flowers. We will use 20 minutes for this example.
Loading and unloading your equipment should take about 10 minutes.
This customer was only 5 minute away. So, 10 minutes is entered into travel time.
There were extraneous jobs for this customer so I use 20 minutes for those work activities.
The total time for this job is 93 minutes. At a rate of $55 per hour the price quote should be $85.25.
That all this is to do it for estimating this job.

Hope this helps. CDR

every year when i pay the city of riverside, ca for my business license about a week later i get another bill from them wanting another check for a "district F improvement". i looked it up online and it’s for parking, security, etc. there are grocery stores, and other stores across the street but i work from my apartment and don’t think i should have to pay this. i don’t sell anything or have anyone come to my apartment. it’s all online. they are charging me $244.00 a year. $115.00 of it is for this district f tax. please help. thanks. is this even legal? also, why wouldn’t they just send me one bill for the total amount due instead of having separate checks? i called them and they said i still have to pay it but i don’t understand why or if this is legal. thanks
Yes, it is legal..these types of taxes are used so that businesses cannot free ride a voluntary contribution to a fund. The reason they want two checks is so that the second check can be put right into the account set up for the development fund, rather than the city having to cut a second check from the tax account to the account of the Business Development agency (which in many cases is a private entity funded by the jurisdiction and why the check also must be separate).
