Pressure Washing Estimate App: Quote From a Photo
A pressure washing estimate app should turn the job in front of you into a priced quote before you leave the driveway. Here is how, with a calculator you can use now.
SimplyWise Cost Estimator turns a photo of the house, driveway or deck into an itemized pressure washing estimate. You add your markup and send it as a professional, branded quote. It is $29.99 a month or $239.99 a year after a 7-day free trial.
That matters because a wash is priced on site, with the client watching. If you go home and type it up, the client calls the next crew.
Why a pressure washing estimate app beats a notepad
Pressure washing has no standard price list. The live pressure washing cost guide checked BLS, Census and IBISWorld and found no fixed price. IBISWorld counts 32,193 pressure washing businesses in 2024, and none holds more than 5 percent of the market. Every crew prices the job in front of it.
So your number has to come from your own rate, your own water, and your own minimum. An app does not set that rate for you. It keeps every line in one place, so nothing gets buried in a single square foot price.
Pressure washing estimate calculator: square feet times your rate
This calculator does the plain math: area times your rate, plus your add-on lines, never under your minimum. It prints no rate of its own. Our hours-based pressure washing estimate calculator found that no manufacturer, trade association or federal series publishes a price a square foot, so we do not invent one.
Square feet times your rate
Type your own rates. The calculator carries none.
Quote = area times rate, plus add-on lines. If that is under your trip minimum, the quote is your minimum.

Use a low and a high rate to show the client a range. Flat concrete is quick work and can sit at your low rate. Siding, soffits and decks are slower, so they belong at your high rate or on a flat fee. The pressure washing pricing guide explains why one square foot number loses money on half your jobs.
For a wage floor, BLS shows janitors and building cleaners at a $17.71 median hourly wage in May 2025. That is a helper rate, not a rig rate.
How a pressure washing estimate app quotes a wash in four steps
-
Photograph the surface
Stand back far enough to get the whole driveway, deck or wall in one shot. Then take a close shot of the worst stains.
-
Describe the job
Type it or say it. Give the surface, the rough square feet and the stains. The app turns the photo and your words into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds.
-
Review every line
Each line has a unit, a quantity and a price per unit. Edit them to your own rate. Add washwater containment as its own line, so the client sees it.
-
Add your markup and send
Add your built-in markup last, after labor, chemical and access are on the page. Then send a professional, branded quote the client signs to approve.
A real driveway run
Here is one job run through the app. The job: pressure wash a two-car concrete driveway, about 600 square feet, and the front walkway.
The app came back at $351.98, run on October 9, 2026. That is 2 line items, $300.00 labor and $19.98 materials. A 10 percent markup of $32.00 is already in. It asked 8 questions, including walkway size, concrete condition and whether to seal.
