What to write on a pressure washing estimate
A pressure washing estimate should measure each surface, name the cleaning method and chemicals for it, and say whether sealing, rust removal or gutter whitening is included.
Materials and products are $45.00 of this $1,184.00 estimate (4%), so say how long those prices hold: supplier prices can move before the job starts.
Prices most surfaces by the square foot, with house washes often quoted per house and a minimum job charge to cover setup, chemicals and water.
Assumptions behind each line
Write these next to the 7 lines so the customer sees what the $1,184.00 depends on.
- House soft wash, vinyl siding: 2,200 sq ft, $550.00.
- Concrete driveway surface cleaning: 900 sq ft, $162.00.
- Oil stain pre-treatment, driveway: 2 each, $70.00.
- Wood deck wash and brightener: 320 sq ft, $192.00.
- Gutter face whitening: 140 linear ft, $140.00.
- Cleaning chemicals and surfactant: 1 lot at $45.00 ($45.00); another grade or brand changes this line.
- Plant pre-wetting, covering and rinse-down: 1 project at $25.00 per project ($25.00); extra project at the same rate.
Changes, overruns and change orders
If the customer adds work, put it on a signed change order first. Pricing the extra in sq ft keeps it comparable with the $1,184.00 you estimated.
A 10% rise in material prices would add $4.50 to this job, which is why many pressure washing businesses limit how long an estimate stays valid.
Tips from pressure washing billing
- Name the method for each surface, high pressure, surface cleaner or low-pressure soft wash, because the method is what a homeowner or siding manufacturer looks at if stripes, etching or lifted paint show up later.
- Show the measured square footage of each surface instead of one lump sum, so the customer can see why the driveway costs less per foot than a deck that needs brightener and careful wand work.
- Note whether you used the customer's spigot or brought water in a tank when it affects the price; hauling water is a real cost on rural jobs and new builds without a working tap.
- Add a line saying oil, rust and irrigation stains were pre-treated but may not fully lift, since stains soaked deep into concrete cause most 'it still looks dirty' complaints.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a pressure washing estimate?
Describe the job (Soft-wash a 2,200 sq ft vinyl-sided house and clean a concrete driveway and a wood deck), list each line with an estimated quantity and rate, total it ($1,184.00 in the sample), state how long it is valid and what it assumes, then send it as a PDF for approval.
Is a pressure washing estimate binding?
An estimate is a forecast, not a fixed price, so the final invoice can differ when the work or materials change. Rules vary by country and state; to stay safe, get written approval before billing noticeably more than the $1,184.00 you estimated.
How long should a pressure washing estimate be valid?
Thirty days is common and is what this template uses. With 4% of the price in materials, a shorter validity protects you if supplier prices rise.
