Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Start by measuring the square footage of the brick surface. Then, assess the brick's condition, the type of stains present, and accessibility. Multiply the square footage by your chosen tier's rate ($0.19–$12 per sq ft) and add any additional costs for specialized stain removal, sealing, or equipment.
While labor costs can range from $50 to $150 per hour, charging by the square foot for brick cleaning is often preferred for consistency and easier client comparison. However, understanding your hourly operational costs is crucial to ensure your per-square-foot rate is profitable, especially for complex jobs. Some contractors also price by the thousand bricks for new construction cleanups.
Basic cleaning ($0.19–$0.54 per sq ft) typically involves general exterior power washing for light dirt. Premium cleaning ($2.01–$12 per sq ft) is a comprehensive service that includes deep stain removal, specialized methods, and may even incorporate brick sealing for intricate or heavily soiled projects.
Difficult-to-remove stains like efflorescence, rust, or paint will require specialized cleaning solutions and more labor time. These projects typically fall into the mid-range ($0.55–$2 per sq ft) or premium ($2.01–$12 per sq ft) tiers. Ensure you factor in the cost of specific chemicals and increased labor for these tasks.
Brick sealing (which can cost $200-$600) is often an important additional service that extends the life and appearance of the brick. You can offer it as an add-on or include it in a 'premium' package. Providing it as an option allows clients to choose based on their budget and desired level of protection, and can significantly increase the total project value.
