Do homeowners actually know their square footage?

They pick a size band (for example 600–900 sq ft), not an exact figure. That's enough for a range and it's far more accurate than guessing over the phone.

Can I set different rates for soft wash versus concrete?

Yes — each surface type carries its own rate per square foot, plus its own condition multipliers.

What about jobs I don't want, like roofs?

Turn that surface off and it never appears in the calculator, so you stop fielding requests you don't service.

Industry

Pressure washing estimator that prices by surface, square footage and condition

Pressure washing is priced per square foot, but the square foot rate is never the whole story — heavy organic growth, second-storey siding and oil-stained concrete all change the job. QuickQuoteGen asks the four questions that actually move the number and returns a range on the spot, while you're still on the roof of the last job.

What this trade loses today

Homeowners want a driveway price by text and you can't see the staining.
Soft-wash siding gets quoted like flat concrete and the margin disappears.
Second-storey and roof work needs a height factor most quote forms don't have.
Seal and protectant upsells never get offered because the quote is a single number.

We already know what changes the price in this trade

These are the questions QuickQuoteGen asks your customer. Every one maps to a pricing rule you control, so the estimate reflects how you actually charge.

Surface type

Concrete, pavers, siding, deck, fence or roof — each with its own rate per sq ft.

Approximate area

Homeowners choose a size band, so they don't have to measure precisely.

Soiling level

Light, moderate or heavy organic growth applies a condition multiplier.

Stories / height

Ground floor, two-storey or roof access adds the right premium.

Treatments

Sealing, rust removal and protectant offered as priced add-ons.

Water access

No on-site spigot triggers your tank surcharge.

Final price confirmed after review

Sample pricing for illustration only. Estimated ranges are not a binding quote: every range is built from the rates you set and is confirmed before work is booked.

Jobs we deliberately do not price instantly

The calculator only returns a range where a range is honest. These requests still capture the lead — the customer is told it will be quoted after a review or a site visit.

Roof washing on steep or fragile tile, where access decides the price more than the area does.
Commercial lots, multi-building HOA work and anything needing traffic control or water reclamation.
Surfaces already failing — flaking paint, spalling concrete, rotten deck boards — which need an inspection first.

After the estimate

Before photos arrive with the lead, so you can validate the soiling level before you commit.
Seal and protectant add-ons are presented as options, which lifts average ticket without a phone call.
Seasonal follow-up texts bring last spring's driveway customers back this spring.

Customers who can't describe the job can send a photo instead.
