Nine rows total, including the header and four blank rows. This is an editable estimate worksheet, not a customer contract. It contains no macros, formulas, or customer information.
What belongs in a pressure washing quote?
Square footage alone does not describe a pressure washing job. Before choosing a price, document what is being cleaned and what condition it is in. An estimate should identify the work, the assumptions behind the price, and the circumstances that require a revised quote.
- Surface and measurement: record each area separately, its approximate dimensions, and the surface material. State whether the measurements are customer-provided or verified on site.
- Current condition: note stains, organic growth, existing cracks, loose coatings, fragile mortar, damaged siding, or prior repairs. Photos can help document pre-existing conditions.
- Cleaning method: specify whether the proposed service uses low-pressure application, rinsing, surface cleaning, or another appropriate method. Do not promise removal of every stain.
- Access and preparation: account for parking, hoses, gates, slopes, furniture, vehicles, outdoor outlets, and protection of nearby plants and finishes.
- Water and runoff: identify the water source and any containment or disposal requirements. Local stormwater and wastewater rules can restrict discharge.
- Scope and exclusions: list the included areas and explicitly exclude surfaces or treatments not inspected or agreed to.
- Timing and payment: state the expected service window, weather contingency, payment due date, and change-approval process.
Example: one driveway estimate (illustrative numbers only)
Assume a fictional 600-square-foot driveway. The sample unit price below is not a market benchmark or a recommended rate; it is simply arithmetic to demonstrate how to organize a quote. Your actual price should reflect local demand, labor, equipment, chemicals, insurance, overhead, and your business's margin target.
| Line item | Calculation | Sample amount |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway cleaning | 600 sq ft × $0.20 | $120 |
| Setup and protection | 1 × $35 | $35 |
| Treatment allowance | 1 × $25 | $25 |
| Travel | 1 × $20 | $20 |
| Example quote subtotal | $120 + $35 + $25 + $20 | $200 |
Do not treat the $200 subtotal as profit. The example uses quoted charges, not measured job costs. If you need to test whether a proposed price covers labor, travel, materials, overhead and gross margin, use the separate minimum job-price calculator. Do not add a margin to a price that already includes your margin without checking the math.
Scope language you can adapt
Included: “Clean the accessible concrete driveway area identified during the estimate, approximately 600 square feet, using a surface-appropriate cleaning process. Includes reasonable setup and a final rinse of the quoted area.”
Excluded: “Oil stain removal guarantees, rust treatment, paint or coating removal, repairs to existing damage, areas outside the identified driveway, and services requiring specialized wastewater capture unless listed separately.”
Change approval: “If actual area, access, surface condition or required treatment differs materially from the estimate, additional work and pricing will be explained and approved before proceeding.”
Adapt the wording to your actual services and local requirements. A generic online example is not a substitute for a contract reviewed for your jurisdiction.
How to use the CSV in the field
- Open the CSV in your preferred spreadsheet application and save a working copy with a job reference number.
- Replace the sample quantities, prices, and notes with your own measurements and proposed charges. The worksheet does not automatically calculate totals.
- Record separate line items for each surface or treatment. Add any applicable tax or required fees according to local rules.
- Send a dated PDF or other unambiguous copy to the customer, retain the accepted version, and document approved changes before performing additional work.
- After the job, compare actual time and consumables against your quote. Use the result to improve the next estimate.
When job software may be worth paying for
If a spreadsheet is sufficient to keep track of a few quotes, do not buy software merely because it exists. When multiple estimates, follow-ups, scheduling changes and invoices become difficult to track, compare a dedicated workflow against your current process. Start with our estimate-to-invoice walkthrough and the administrative-time savings calculator. For specific subscription tradeoffs, read our independent QuoteIQ versus Jobber comparison and test actual features before committing.
