Free Pressure Washing Quote Template & Generator
Exterior cleaning is quoted by surface, and each surface has its own method and its own limits. This template names every area with a measured or estimated size, prices soft washing separately from surface cleaning, states what the customer must supply in water and access, and writes the stain limitations, rust, tannin bleed and tire marks, on the quote instead of leaving them for the walk-around after the trailer is packed.

Use-case checklist
What to include in a pressure washing quote
The callback in this trade is almost always about a stain that stayed. A homeowner watching a surface cleaner take twenty years off a driveway expects the apron under the rusted planter to match, and if the quote priced a rust treatment without saying that it lightens rather than removes, the final payment stops over a two-foot patch on a thousand-dollar job. Method matters just as much. Vinyl that has chalked from oxidation will not come back to gloss with any amount of pressure, a wood deck cleaned at siding pressure comes up fuzzed, and both look like damage to the customer. Writing the method, the expected result and the exclusions is what keeps a finished job from becoming a free return visit.

Worked example
Spring exterior wash across five surfaces, with the rust stain priced and limited
Tidewater Exterior Wash measured a spring cleaning for Marcus Deane at 88 Ellery Road on April 2, 2026: vinyl siding, the concrete driveway and front walk, a wood deck and the gutter faces. A leaking planter has left a rust stain on the driveway apron.
- House soft wash, 2,150 sq ft of vinyl siding, low-pressure detergent application and rinse at $0.16 per sq ft
- $344.00
- Concrete driveway, 960 sq ft, surface cleaner and post-treatment at $0.22 per sq ft
- $211.20
- Front walk and steps, 180 sq ft at $0.22 per sq ft
- $39.60
- Wood deck, 320 sq ft, low pressure with cleaner and brightener, no sealing, at $0.95 per sq ft
- $304.00
- Gutter face brightening, 148 lf at $1.10 per lf (interior cleanout not included)
- $162.80
- Rust treatment at the driveway apron, flat, expected to lighten rather than remove
- $85.00
- Subtotal, five surfaces and the rust treatment
- $1,146.60
- Single-visit bundle discount, all surfaces cleaned in one mobilization
- -$96.60
- Quote total, valid 30 days; homeowner supplies exterior spigot water and clears vehicles and patio furniture
- $1,050.00
- Deck sealing, quoted separately once the wood has dried at least 48 hours
- $1.35 per sq ft
Write the expected result next to the price on every treatment line. "Rust treatment, expected to lighten rather than remove" is the sentence that keeps the final $1,050.00 from being held hostage over a two-foot patch on the apron.
When this document is the right choice
Use this quote to present a fixed proposed price before work begins. A quote is best when scope and price are defined. Use an estimate instead when hidden conditions or an unfinished scope can materially change the final cost.
Frequently asked questions
The customer expects the driveway to come back uniformly white. How do I write stain limitations?
Put them on the line, not in the terms. Say that concrete will be cleaned uniformly of organic growth and general soiling, and that rust, oil, paint, tannin bleed from leaves and tire marks are treated where priced but may lighten rather than disappear. Photograph the worst areas during the measure and reference them by location on the quote, as the apron is referenced above, so the conversation after the job is about a known spot rather than a surprise.
Why price siding and a wood deck at different rates when both are just washing?
Because they are different jobs. Siding is soft washed, meaning a detergent dwell and a low-pressure rinse, and the rate covers chemical and dwell time rather than pressure. A wood deck needs a cleaner, a brightener to restore pH and enough restraint to avoid raising the grain, which is slower per square foot and is why the deck runs $0.95 against $0.16 on the siding. Quoting them at one blended rate means one of the two is losing money.
What if the spigot is on a well and has no pressure on the day?
Ask about the water source at the measure, because a well system, a shared bib or sixty feet of half-inch supply line is the one thing that can cancel a scheduled morning and you cannot tell by looking at it. Fill a five-gallon bucket while you are standing there and time it, then write on the quote what flow the job assumes and what a buffer tank fill or a return visit is billed at if that flow is not there. The rest of the customer's list is short and belongs on the quote too: vehicles moved, patio furniture and grills cleared, windows and doors closed, pets inside, and an accessible outlet if your setup needs one.
The siding is chalky and will not come back to gloss. Do I still quote it?
Quote it and describe the outcome honestly. Oxidized vinyl releases a chalky film that a soft wash cleans off, leaving the siding uniform and clean but visibly duller than new, and a customer who hears that at the measure accepts it. One who hears it after paying $344.00 does not. Note oxidation on the quote by elevation, since south-facing walls are usually the worst, and never promise that pressure will restore the finish, because it will not.
What do I tell the homeowner about the planting beds under the siding and where the wash water goes?
Say on the quote that plantings are pre-wetted, covered where practical and rinsed again at the end, and that a soft wash mix can still mark tender new growth, because the hydrangeas under a two-story wall are the callback nobody budgets for. Ask the owner at the measure to move pots and to point out anything planted this season. Where the rinse water ends up is a separate question: what may enter a storm drain or a waterway is set locally and the requirements differ from one municipality to the next, so confirm what yours expects for containment, reclaim and disposal before you commit to a method on the quote. Five minutes rinsing the beds, the walk and the neighbor's car at the end prevents most of the complaints in this trade.
