An estimate is a written price you are offering before the work starts. The two things that decide whether it wins the job are how clearly it describes the scope and how obviously it expires.

What a contractor estimate should contain

  • Your business details and license number where required
  • The customer name and the job address
  • An estimate number and the date you wrote it
  • A valid until date, because prices move and you should not be held to a number from six months ago
  • Scope in plain language, line by line, so the customer knows what is and is not included
  • What is explicitly excluded, which is the line that prevents most disputes
  • Subtotal, tax, any deposit required to book the work, and the total

What goes on a pressure washing contractor estimate

These are the lines a pressure washing job usually needs. They are already in the template and in the generator, so you edit rather than start from an empty page.

  • Soft wash house siding
  • Driveway and walkway, 1,200 sq ft
  • Deck or patio clean
  • Detergent, surfactant and water
  • Gutter face brightening

Delete what does not apply, add what does. The point is that a customer looking at an itemized pressure washing estimate can see where the money went, which is what stops the argument before it starts.

Pressure washing is priced by the surface: siding by the house or the square foot, flat work such as a driveway by the square foot. Soft washing uses low pressure and detergent on siding, which is why the detergent has its own line.

What to settle before the Pressure Washing estimate goes out

Say where the runoff goes. Wash water with detergent in it should not go down a storm drain, and many cities treat that as an illegal discharge.
