How to Use This Calculator

Enter Facade Area in sq ft and Building Height in feet to determine access equipment needs.
Select Material Type (glass, stone, brick, metal, or EIFS) — softer materials need gentler methods.
Choose Cleaning Method: pressure wash is fastest, chemical suits stains, steam for delicate surfaces.
Enter Number of Building Sides to include all facades in the estimate.
Review Total Cost, Cost per Sq Ft, and Project Duration in days to evaluate contractor bids.

What each input means

Facade area (sq ft): Total exterior facade area to be cleaned.
Building height (ft): Height of the building (affects access equipment choice).
Number of stories: Number of stories (affects pricing premium for height).
Material (0=glass,1=stone,2=brick,3=metal,4=EIFS): Facade material type affects cleaning rate and method.
Method (0=pressure,1=chemical,2=steam,3=blast): Cleaning method: 0=pressure wash, 1=chemical, 2=steam, 3=abrasive blast.
Number of building sides: Number of facade sides to clean (affects equipment mobilization).

Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Facade area (sq ft) = 5000, Building height (ft) = 60, Number of stories = 5, Material (0=glass,1=stone,2=brick,3=metal,4=EIFS) = 0 = 6 input(s) provided
Calculate Total project cost
Total project cost = cleaningCost + equipmentCost
4475 = $4,475
Calculate Project duration
Project duration = daysPerSide * accessSides
4 = 4
Calculate Cleaning labor
Cleaning labor = facadeArea * adjustedRate
2475 = $2,475
Calculate Equipment rental
Equipment rental = totalDays * equipmentDailyRate
2000 = $2,000
