Frequently Asked Questions
Should I price pressure washing by square foot or flat rate?
Use square footage for large flatwork (concrete driveways usually run $0.15–$0.25 per sq ft) and flat rate packages for house washes (e.g., 1,500 sq ft house at $250, 2,500 sq ft at $350). Always set a minimum call-out fee ($100–$150) so you never lose money on small jobs or chemical setup time.
How do I quote exterior jobs faster without making mistakes?
Pre-set your service minimums and per-foot rates in your mobile tool. When you walk up to the house, estimate the driveway square footage, toggle house wash or gutter cleaning add-ons, and tap send. QuoteNest texts a branded proposal link with an Accept button directly to the homeowner's phone.
