InvoiceCraftPressure Washing Proposal Template
A pressure washing proposal is a priced scope of work with a signature line. Start from this template, or let the AI draft one from a plain-English description of the job, mark the add-ons optional, and send a link the customer accepts on their phone. The invoice, and the deposit invoice if you set one, are created the moment they accept.
What belongs in a pressure washing proposal
Pressure washing proposals are surface-by-surface: house siding by square footage or story, driveway and walkways by square footage, roof soft-wash by square, decks and fences by linear or square feet. State the method (soft wash with sodium hypochlorite mix versus high pressure) because the wrong one damages siding and the customer has read about it. Sealing, gutter brightening, and window cleaning are the standard optional items. Water access, plant protection, and weather are terms.

Terms that belong in a pressure washing proposal
Promise extended coverage on the bid: a longer warranty on labor is often what wins pressure washing work against a cheaper number, and it costs nothing on the day you offer it. Set the terms on the proposal and they print with the scope the customer accepts, carry through to the invoice, and start counting down when that invoice is paid. From there warranty tracking keeps the coverage dates, an estimate of the labor and parts you could still owe, and any callback filed against the job.

Jobs change once the work starts. When pressure washing work grows or shrinks after the customer has signed, send a change order: they approve the added or credited work and the new total on their phone, and the unpaid balance invoice updates itself.
How the proposal gets accepted
Send the link. The customer sees the scope, ticks the optional items they want and watches the total update, types their name, agrees to the terms, and accepts. The acceptance is recorded with the timestamp, IP address, browser, and a hash of the content. The invoice is generated from exactly what they selected, with the deposit invoiced first when you set one.
Frequently asked questions
Should pressure washing be quoted by the hour or by the surface?
By the surface. Customers can compare a per-square-foot driveway price; they cannot compare hours. It also makes optional items like sealing a clean add-on with its own square-foot price.
What should a pressure washing proposal say about damage?
Which method is used on which surface, and that oxidised or previously damaged siding may show marks after cleaning. Saying it before the job is a scope note; saying it after is an excuse.
Can customers accept this proposal online?
Yes. Send the link, and the customer ticks the optional items they want, types their name, and accepts on any device. The acceptance is recorded with the time, IP address, and a hash of the content, and a signed PDF is produced. See how e-signature works on InvoiceCraft.
