How to price a job (the 5-step method)

  1. Measure the square footage (estimate by walking pace: one step = ~2.5 ft).
  2. Multiply by the per-sq-ft rate for the surface.
  3. Apply the minimum - small jobs still cost you setup time.
  4. Add for difficulty: stories (1.25x for 2-story, 1.5x for 3), access, heavy organic growth, chemical cost.
  5. Round to a clean number and write it down in a branded quote.
