The cost varies based on the model, manufacturer and type, but the general price of a basic electric pressure washer ranges from about $55 to $320 (CAD 75 to CAD 435). However, a powerful, commercial-grade electric model could set you back as much as $4,400 (CAD 6,000).

Since power washing uses heated water, it requires more expensive equipment, meaning you'll pay more for power washing. However, you get what you pay for in this case—especially if you have tough dirt and stains you want to quickly remove from concrete surfaces or other durable materials.

Consider that the average pressure washing costs between $192 and $401 per job. If you did two jobs a day at $250 each, you'd make $130,000 a year working 260 days per year. That's good money and a lot of time off to enjoy it. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to start a pressure washing business.
