If you perform a search on price or pricing, you will find alot of information that might give some idea of averages in your area. Good Luck.

As far as I can find, there aren't any others around here using the non-pressure method, but I am new at it myself, so, should I start out not charging as much as an experienced person, or will this just set a low precedence for future work? I have seen the pictures on this site of what others have done, so I know the method works. But it seems like each time I read on here, I learn something that I hadn't thought about yet.

• If you start out with a low price, you will stay there. Just by asking if you should charge less because you dont have the experence of others  you are selling yourself short. A big problem with contractors is that they talk themselves into a low bid because they think of any reason that they can come up with as to why they should ask for less. They are an older couple, times are tough, they can't afford it, I'm just getting started, etc.....When you see a job that someone else has done and wonder " How did he get more than I would have charged"? The answer is simple. He ask for more than you do. I'm not saying that you can get whatever you want, just don't sell yourself short.

I went on an estimate yesterday that had black algae &  heavy moss on the front and back i tell the guy 550.00 he says ok before i'm done talking,i start laughing and tell him that was the quickest ok i ever got he tells me he got an estimate from a power washer for 2500.00 . I asked him if i said 1500.00 what would you have said , he said, OK ! this house is about 2500sf with an attached garage with a standard roof line
