Per-square-metre vs fixed job pricing
Many pressure cleaners quote and invoice per square metre for hard surfaces and a fixed price for house washes. Whichever you use, spell out the area or scope on the invoice so the figure is easy for the client to check — clear line items get paid faster and queried less.
