PRESSURE WASHING / WINDOW CLEANING ESTIMATING.

## Pressure Washing Estimates in Houston Move Fast — Your Bids Should Too Houston's heat, humidity, and Gulf Coast air create a year-round market for pressure washing and window cleaning. Mold, algae, and atmospheric dust accumulate fast on brick, stucco, concrete, and glass across the metro. Residential subdivisions in Katy, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands generate steady soft-wash roof and driveway work. The commercial corridor along the Energy Corridor and Galleria keeps window cleaning crews booked on mid-rise facades and retail storefronts. That volume is good — but it also means you're competing against dozens of other local operators bidding the same jobs. A handwritten quote or a slow spreadsheet costs you work. Estimate.Pro gets you from walkthrough to sendable bid in 8 minutes. ## What Makes Houston Pressure Washing Estimating Different **Surface complexity is high.** Houston-area properties mix concrete driveways, painted brick, Hardie board, stucco, and pool decks — sometimes on the same house. Your estimate needs to account for PSI settings, dwell time, and chemical cost per surface type. Estimate.Pro lets you build line items by surface category so you're not guessing margins on a mixed job. **Water costs matter.** The City of Houston water utility bills by consumption. On large commercial flat-work or multi-building HOA contracts, water draw is a real line item. The saved material cost workspace in Estimate.Pro lets you store your per-gallon cost and pull it into any job automatically. **Permit thresholds are specific.** Most residential pressure washing in Houston does not require a permit. However, commercial high-rise window cleaning that requires suspended scaffolding or swing stage equipment falls under OSHA 1910.28 fall protection and may trigger a City of Houston building permit for temporary structures. Know before you bid. **Bid volume is seasonal — but not the way you'd expect.** Spring in Houston (March–May) drives the heaviest residential driveway and house-wash demand after pollen season. Late summer and early fall, post-hurricane-season storms (especially August–October), create surge demand for post-storm cleaning on gutters, siding, and commercial glass. You need to be able to turn bids fast during those windows. ## How Estimate.Pro Works for Pressure Washing Companies **Walk the job, measure in the app.** On supported devices, Estimate.Pro uses ONNX-assisted live AR measurement to capture square footage of flat surfaces, facades, and glass panels. Camera and photo measurements are flagged as estimates — you know exactly what's verified and what needs a tape check. **Scope of work in plain language.** After the walkthrough, the AI generates a scope-of-work summary — surfaces to be cleaned, chemistry specified, access method, and any exclusions. Send it as part of the bid so customers understand what they're buying. Fewer callbacks, fewer disputes. **Line-item pricing by surface.** Build out concrete flat-work, soft-wash roof, window glass, and gutter face as separate line items with their own labor and material rates. Your saved workspace holds Houston-specific labor rates and chemical costs so each new estimate starts accurate. **Send and collect in the same tool.** Pro and Elite tiers include Stripe Connect integration. Houston commercial clients can pay deposits or full invoices online. Elite tier invoice exports work with QuickBooks and common accounting workflows. The platform fee is 0% on Pro and Elite — Stripe's standard processing fee applies, but Estimate.Pro takes nothing. ## Pricing That Fits a Pressure Washing Operation Solo operator: start on the Free forever tier — no credit card, no time limit. When you're ready to add Stripe payments and faster workflows, Pro is $39 per seat per month. Multi-crew operations running 3 or more trucks should look at Crew at $399 flat per month, which covers your whole team without per-seat math. ## Start With One Job Pick your next Houston bid — driveway wash, commercial glass package, or HOA soft-wash contract.
