01 · STEAM
Steam + scrape gum removal
$0.95/sq ftor $3.50 per piece · $175 minimum
The standard workhorse for most jobs — concrete sidewalks, store entrances, parking aprons, food-court edges.
Best on durable, paved surfaces with high foot traffic.
Pricing
Five numbers, one crew, no surprise math.
Steam + scrape gum removal at $0.95/sq ft, freeze + scrape at $1.35/sq ft, hot/cold pressure washing at $0.22/sq ft (Basic) or $0.35/sq ft (Heavy-Duty), and a $175 minimum job fee. Recurring contract agreements get 15% off — monthly or quarterly cadence. Rates are sized to the surface and the method, not the hour.
The five rates
Five numbers — three methods, two tiers, one line up.
Rates are market-aware and matched per method, not per hour. Pick the surface, pick the method, and the estimator matches the on-site walk — no rounding, no surprise multipliers.

Freeze + scrape gum removal
$1.35/sq ftor $5.00 per piece · $175 minimum

Worth the premium when heat or pressure would damage the surface.

04 · PW HEAVY
Pressure washing — Heavy-Duty
$0.35/sq ft$175 minimum job fee
Heavy staining, oil, and buildup — grease spots near dumpster pads, oil-stained aprons, and storefront flatwork with long-standing grime.
Scoped to concrete, brick, tile, pavers, and asphalt.

Per-piece billing counts gum spots lifted on concrete. Per-sq-ft rates apply to paved flatwork — the on-site walk locks the actual scope and the line items.
Recurring contract
15% off for monthly / quarterly service agreements.
A standing cadence locks the 15% discount across the same scope, every cycle. The on-site walk still anchors the line items — but the math is fixed for the term.
- Weekly / monthly / quarterly cadences all qualify.
- Applied to the same scope — no re-bidding per visit.
- Stacked on top of the per-method rate; not an estimate on an estimate.
Why these rates
Market-aware per line — not an hourly multiplier.
Generic cleaners quote by the hour and round up at the end. ChewAway prices by line item, method, and surface — so the number you see on the quote is the number you see in the email.
Per-line-item pricing
Steam, freeze, and pressure each carry their own per-sq-ft and per-piece rates — so the surface and the method decide the price. Nothing is folded into an unfamiliar multiplier.
Method-specific rates
A cryogenic freeze rig costs more than a steam rig, and the premium is on the line — not buried in a flat hourly rate. The rate matches the work.
Per-piece option
Sometimes the job is 12 spots on a 200-sq-ft pad. Per-piece billing captures that without forcing the customer to under- or over-report scope.
Rates are scoped to paved ground surfaces and the gum-removal methods above. Vertical building washes (siding, awnings, dumpster pads), high-rise exteriors, and hazardous cleaning are out of scope.
