PRESSURE WASHING / WINDOW CLEANING ESTIMATING.

## Pressure Washing Estimating in Miami Is Not Like Anywhere Else Miami's climate works against every surface you clean. Salt air off Biscayne Bay accelerates algae and mildew growth on stucco, concrete, and barrel tile roofs year-round. That means your average job is more complex than a standard driveway wash in a dry-climate city — and your bid needs to reflect that complexity without scaring off the customer. Estimate.Pro is built for the trades, including pressure washing and window cleaning companies operating in South Florida's unique conditions. --- ## Why Miami Bids Take Longer Without the Right Tool A typical Miami exterior cleaning job involves multiple surfaces: concrete driveways and pool decks, stucco facades, aluminum-frame windows, barrel tile or flat membrane roofs, and screen enclosures. Each surface carries a different chemical treatment cost, dwell time, and labor rate. Quoting them as a flat per-square-foot number leaves money on the table or kills your close rate. Estimate.Pro lets you build line-item scopes for each surface type in a single walkthrough. You walk the property, log surface areas using AR measurement on supported devices — or upload photos tagged as estimates — and the app drafts a priced scope of work. Median time from walkthrough to sendable bid is 8 minutes. --- ## What the App Covers for Pressure Washing Companies **Surface-by-surface line items.** Concrete flatwork, stucco, painted block, glass, aluminum frames, barrel tile, flat roofs, and screen enclosures each carry their own labor and chemical cost entries in your saved material cost workspace. You set the numbers once; the app pulls them into every new bid. **Soft-wash vs. pressure-wash differentiation.** Miami's stucco and barrel tile are soft-wash surfaces. Quoting them at the same rate as concrete flatwork is a liability. Estimate.Pro lets you flag the method per surface line and adjust the chemical cost accordingly. **Multi-story and high-rise window cleaning.** Brickell and Edgewater projects involve lift equipment, rope access, or pole systems. You can add equipment rental as a separate cost line so your bid reflects actual job cost, not a guess. **AR measurement on supported devices.** ONNX-assisted live AR measurement reduces tape-and-calculator time on larger properties. Camera or photo measurements are marked as estimates so you always know which numbers to field-verify. --- ## Pricing That Makes Sense for Small Crews Estimate.Pro has a free forever tier — no credit card, no time limit. When your volume grows, Pro runs $39 per seat per month. Elite is $79 per seat per month and includes Stripe Connect invoice exports with 0% platform fee. Crew is $399 flat per month for larger operations. Stipe Connect on the Free tier carries a 3% platform fee. Pro and above drop that to 0%. --- ## Miami-Specific Factors That Belong in Your Bid **Hurricane season scheduling.** June through November compresses your exterior cleaning window. Customers rush post-storm cleanup jobs in late summer and fall. Bids for those jobs often need same-day turnaround. An 8-minute draft target matters when you are quoting three storm-damage cleanups before noon. **Miami-Dade County permitting.** Most standalone pressure washing jobs do not require a permit, but roof cleaning that involves chemical application to tile surfaces can fall under contractor licensing requirements enforced by Miami-Dade Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER). If you operate without a Certified or Registered contractor license for certain roof work, you are exposed. Your bid documentation should note the scope clearly to protect you. **Water restriction compliance.** South Florida Water Management District rules cap irrigation and outdoor water use during drought alerts. Your bids for HOA and commercial accounts should include a line noting reclaim or recycle water capability if you offer it — that detail wins contracts in Miami's water-sensitive market. **Stucco and EIFS surfaces.** Miami's building stock runs heavily toward stucco over CBS (concrete block and stucco) construction. Incorrect pressure on these surfaces causes spalling and voids your customer's homeowner insurance coverage. Soft-wash line items and documented PSI limits in your scope of work reduce your liability on every job. --- ## Start Without a Credit Card Sign up for the free tier, build your Miami surface pricing into your saved workspace, and send your first bid. If the 8-minute draft target holds for your jobs, you will know inside the first week whether Pro is worth $39 a month. Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. If you run a multi-service operation — pressure washing, window cleaning, and exterior painting, for example — all three scopes live in the same platform.
