PRESSURE WASHING / WINDOW CLEANING ESTIMATING.

## Bidding pressure washing and window cleaning work in Boston is not the same as bidding it in Phoenix You are dealing with a short exterior season, historic masonry that reacts badly to wrong PSI settings, and building owners who have seen enough fly-by-night crews to ask hard questions before signing anything. Your estimate needs to look credible before you even show up on site. Estimate.Pro gives Boston pressure washing companies a walkthrough-to-bid workflow that takes a median of 8 minutes from the first photo to a sendable proposal. --- ## What makes pressure washing estimating different in Boston **Historic brick and brownstone.** The Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and the South End are dense with 19th-century masonry. Soft washing protocols for these surfaces carry different material and time costs than concrete flatwork. The app lets you build a saved material cost workspace so your soft-wash mix pricing, surface protection time, and rinse steps are priced consistently every job — not recalculated from memory on every bid. **High-rise window cleaning permits.** Buildings over a certain height in Boston require a Scaffold Safety permit through the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety under 520 CMR 14.00. That permit fee belongs in your estimate, not absorbed into margin after the fact. Estimate.Pro lets you add permit line items directly to any scope of work. **Short season, high volume.** Boston's exterior wash season runs hard from late April through October. November through March, demand compresses into commercial interior window contracts, post-construction cleanouts, and occasional salt-stain removal after road treatments. You need to move faster on bids in peak season and price defensively in slow months. An 8-minute bid cycle lets you turn quotes same-day when leads are hot. **Commercial density downtown.** The Financial District, Seaport, and Kendall Square corridors have high concentrations of Class A office buildings with recurring window cleaning contracts. Those accounts require professional proposals with line-item detail, not a one-number text message. Estimate.Pro generates itemized estimates you can export or send directly through the platform. --- ## How the app works for pressure washing companies **1. Walkthrough or photo capture.** Walk the property and use AR measurement on supported devices to capture linear footage of windows, square footage of flatwork, or facade surface area. Camera and photo measurements are marked as estimates in the output so you know where to verify before finalizing. **2. AI scope-of-work generation.** The app reads your measurements and generates a scope of work — surface type, cleaning method, story count, access requirements. You review and adjust. It does not guess at your prices; it uses the material cost workspace you built. **3. Priced estimate output.** Line items, labor, materials, and any permit fees produce a client-ready estimate. On the Free tier there is no credit card required and no platform fee on the estimate itself. If you collect payment through Stripe Connect, the Pro plan runs a 3% platform fee; Pro+ drops that to 0%. --- ## Pricing that fits where you are - **Free forever.** No credit card. Good for solo operators testing the workflow. - **Pro — $39/seat/month.** Stripe Connect payments, full estimate history. - **Elite — $79/seat/month.** Invoice exports, advanced workflows. - **Crew — $399/month flat.** Unlimited seats for larger crews running multiple Boston routes. --- ## The bottom line Boston pressure washing companies compete on trust as much as price. A detailed, professional estimate that arrives within hours of a site visit — not days — signals that you run a real operation. Estimate.Pro is built to get you from walkthrough to sendable bid in 8 minutes, with local cost data you control and output that holds up to scrutiny from a Beacon Hill property manager or a Seaport facilities director.
