Estimating & Invoicing Software for Pressure Washing Companies
Pressure washing quotes should be fast and consistent. Trades HQ keeps your services and rates ready, so you can price a house, driveway and deck in minutes and invoice before you leave.
Every surface is different. Siding, concrete, wood and roofs need different methods and chemicals.
Square footage. Guessing the size leads to underpricing big jobs.
Chemicals add up. Sodium hypochlorite, surfactants, degreasers and sealers are real costs.
Small jobs. Without a minimum, short jobs don't cover the drive and setup.

Surface
Math
Square feet
House siding, two stories
2 × (40 + 30) × 18
2,520 sq ft
Driveway
20 × 40
800 sq ft
Deck
12 × 16
192 sq ft
Multiply each area by your own rate for that surface, then check the total against your minimum.
Pricing tip: Set a minimum job price, so a small driveway still covers your drive, setup and cleanup. And remember that markup and margin aren't the same number: a 20% margin needs a 25% markup. The Estimating Basics guide walks through the math, and the free markup and margin calculator does it for you.
