What PSI and GPM does commercial pressure washing need?

At least 3,000-4,000+ PSI and 3-4 GPM is a reasonable starting benchmark for commercial-volume work, compared to a typical residential range of 2,500-3,500 PSI and 2.5-4 GPM.

Is commercial pressure washing priced the same way as residential?

No -- commercial jobs typically use a lower per-square-foot rate at volume but add real costs residential rarely has, like runoff permitting, after-hours scheduling, and pretreatment for grease or oil staining.

Do commercial pressure washing contracts need higher insurance?

Often yes -- commercial property managers frequently require higher liability minimums and a certificate of insurance naming the property as an additional insured before signing a contract.
