Free pressure washing estimate template, with a house, driveway and deck quoted by area
Pressure washing customers usually ask for a price from a photo or a quick look from the curb, so the estimate is your chance to show you measured. The free pressure washing estimate template below prices siding, flatwork and decks by area; the sample quotes a two-story soft wash, a driveway and a wood deck in one visit. After the wash, send the bill using the free invoice template.

What goes on a pressure washing estimate
Each surface on a pressure washing job gets its own line, because each one is cleaned differently. Vinyl siding is soft washed at low pressure with a cleaning mix, concrete takes a surface cleaner at high pressure, and a wood deck needs a gentle wash and often a brightener. List the surfaces separately with their area, so a customer who drops the deck can still accept the rest.
Above the lines, put your business name, phone and email, the client and address, an estimate number, the date and when the price ends. Below them, note what you will protect, such as plants, outlets and light fixtures, and what you will not promise. Oil stains, rust and old paint often lighten without vanishing, and the time to say that is before you start, not when the driveway is drying.
- Business name, phone and email
- Client name and property address
- Quote number, date and how long the price stands
- Each surface on its own line, with its area in square feet
- Method: soft wash or pressure wash, and any brightener or sealer
- Stain treatment for oil, rust or gum, priced per spot
- What you will protect: plants, outlets, lights, windows
- What results are not promised, the deposit if any, and how to accept
Copy this pressure washing estimate template
Copy the text below into your notes or a document and fill in the brackets. Each surface is a line, so remove the ones the customer did not ask for. A driveway-only job needs just two or three lines.
If you use a water source from the house, say so, and ask the customer to have an outdoor tap working. It sounds small, but it is a common reason a wash day gets pushed. The skeleton:

Sample pressure washing estimate (quote), filled in
The sample covers a two-story vinyl house with 2,400 square feet of siding, a 600 square foot concrete driveway with two oil spots, the front walk and steps, and a 300 square foot wood deck. Rates are shown per 100 square feet so each line stays easy to check. Business, client and prices here are fictional. Tax is charged on the whole subtotal to keep the sample simple; many states do not tax cleaning services, so check yours.
| Qty | Price | Amount | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft wash house siding, vinyl, 2 stories, 2,400 sq ft | 24 | $25.00 / 100 sq ft | $600.00 |
| Gutter faces brightened, front and back | 1 | $90.00 | $90.00 |
| Concrete driveway, surface cleaner, 600 sq ft | 6 | $20.00 / 100 sq ft | $120.00 |
| Oil stain pre-treatment | 2 spots | $25.00 / spot | $50.00 |
| Front walk and steps | 1 | $45.00 | $45.00 |
| Wood deck wash and brightener, 300 sq ft | 3 | $60.00 / 100 sq ft | $180.00 |
| Subtotal | $1,085.00 | ||
| Sales tax 6.25% | $67.81 | ||
| Total | $1,152.81 |
Areas were measured on site: siding by wall length times height, flatwork by length times width. Rates per 100 square feet work out to 25 cents a square foot for siding, 20 cents for concrete and 60 cents for the deck, which takes longer and needs brightener. The cleaning mix is included in the rates, with about a 25% markup on chemicals. This quote is valid for 30 days.
How to price a pressure washing estimate
Price by area, but think in time: how many square feet you clean in an hour on each surface, plus setup, chemicals and travel. Second stories, steep lots and heavy mildew all slow you down, so raise the rate rather than hoping it evens out. Concrete goes fast with a surface cleaner; decks are slow because wood is easy to damage.
Set a minimum charge so a small patio still pays for the trip, and offer bundles, like a house wash with the driveway, at a slightly lower combined price. If the deck will need sealing, quote it as a separate option on a later visit once the wood is dry. For whether to call your number an estimate or a quote, see the estimate vs quote guide.
- Measure every surface; avoid guessing from photos when you can
- Charge more per square foot for second stories and heavy growth
- Keep a trip minimum for small jobs
- Price oil, rust and gum stains per spot, and promise lighter, not gone
- Quote deck sealing as its own option for a second visit
Estimate, quote, then invoice — in Workeey
Workeey keeps the pressure washing estimate inside the job, so the property address and your notes from the walk-around are together. Your rates are set once, covering hourly, first hour, call-out, travel, evenings and weekends, parts markup and deposit percent, and the AI uses them to itemize each estimate. Supplies like deck brightener are priced from the web at your markup, and lines you write yourself, like "house wash per 100 sq ft", are remembered. You get 23 quick estimates a month without paying.
Tap Share quote for a quote PDF that holds for 30 days, and share it right from your phone; its Email button opens your own mail app. Your deposit percent is printed on the quote, but Workeey does not collect it. The customer doesn't sign anything in the app; once they say go ahead, you do the wash, and one tap changes the estimate into an invoice that Workeey emails with a pay link.

How do you estimate a pressure washing job?
Measure each surface in square feet, apply your rate for that surface, and add stain treatment, extras and a trip minimum if the job is small. Siding is usually priced lower per foot than decks because it goes faster.
Should I price house washing by the hour or by the square foot?
Customers understand square-foot pricing and it lets them compare bids. Build the rate from your hourly target and how fast you clean each surface, so you still earn your hourly rate.
Can I quote from photos?
Photos are fine for a rough number, but measure on arrival and confirm the price before you start. Siding height and deck size are easy to misjudge in a picture.
What if a stain does not come out?
Say on the estimate that old oil, rust and paint usually lighten rather than disappear. Charge for the treatment you did, not the result, and the customer will not be surprised.
