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. Quick Quote Pro 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.
The questions the calculator asks
Every input 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
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.
Questions owners ask
- 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.
