On Monday of this week they did the annual wash - the price...$62! The US Inflation Calculator site calculated that a $62 price in 2010, adjusted for inflation, would be $71.40 in 2018 (and Egner's isn't increasing the price for another year).

I have no affiliation with them other than being a satisfied customer. I agree with you that they do a good job; their employees are courteous, neat, and, in my case, they don't step on the plants.
Well that business did my house and driveway this morning...$50 more than the price they charged last year!!!! Only thing different was the need to wash the ceiling in golf cart garage [slightly larger than the golf cart lol!]! Will call in the morning and advise that this was likely the last time they served us!

And the young man quoted us an estimate of $325 to have the roof of the house power washed! I don't think so! lol
