When spring arrives, homeowners across the country eye their weather-worn decks and wonder, “How much will it cost to power wash this?” The answer is never one-size-fits-all, but CountBricks is here to demystify the numbers. By combining AI-driven estimating, voice data capture, and up-to-the-minute material pricing, CountBricks delivers laser-accurate projections that help contractors win bids and homeowners safeguard budgets.
Power washing a compact 10' × 12' platform is very different from tackling a 600 sq ft multi-level structure with benches and planters. Our software measures square footage in seconds, then adjusts labor and equipment time accordingly.
Mildew, algae, peeling finishes, or embedded grime each demand specific detergents, dwell times, or multiple passes with varying nozzle pressures. CountBricks instantly factors chemical costs and extra labor minutes into the final figure.
• Limited hose access can require portable tanks
• Nearby landscaping may need protective sheeting
• Elevated decks often require scaffolding or safety harnesses
Our AI estimator adjusts cost in real time as you speak these site details into the mobile app.
CountBricks sources local wage data nightly, so whether you operate in a high-wage suburb or a rural township, your power wash deck cost reflects true market conditions.
Based on thousands of residential projects logged in the CountBricks database, the national average falls between $0.45 – $0.70 per square foot. A 250 sq ft deck typically lands near $135, while a 500 sq ft space can reach $350, especially when mold remediation chemicals are required. Remember, these numbers shift with regional labor changes and site variables—precisely why live estimating matters.
1. Walk the deck with your phone.
2. Describe railing length, stair count, and trouble spots aloud.
3. CountBricks transcribes, tags, and prices each element instantly.
• Updates every 24 hours on detergent, fuel, and nozzle wear
• Integrates local rental rates for hot-water machines
• Flags price spikes so you can lock in quotes confidently
If the homeowner provides construction drawings, simply upload them to CountBricks.com/takeoffs. Our AI recognizes decks, calculates surface area, and merges data with your voice notes for a single, error-free estimate.
• Travel time between jobs when routing is poor
• Water usage surcharges in drought-prone municipalities
• Environmental fees for chemical runoff containment
• Re-sealing recommendations that follow power washing
Because CountBricks prompts you to confirm each of these items, nothing slips through the cracks and your margins stay protected.
Contractors using our AI voice platform report up to 30 % faster estimate generation and a 12 % increase in accepted bids. By presenting homeowners with detailed line items—labor hours, detergent ounces, equipment wear—they see the value behind every dollar and trust your pricing.
• Always test an inconspicuous corner at low pressure before ramping up to full PSI
• Schedule washing two days before forecasted clear weather to allow proper dry-time if staining will follow
• Suggest a maintenance wash every 12-18 months to protect wood fibers and upsell repeat service
• Use a 40-degree nozzle on railings to avoid lap marks

When Oregon-based contractor Silver Pine Remodeling needed a same-day quote for a 480 sq ft cedar deck, they opened the CountBricks mobile app on site. By narrating dimensions, railing length, and noting heavy moss, the estimator generated a complete power wash deck cost—$312.40—in under four minutes. The homeowner signed on the spot, impressed by the detailed breakdown and transparent pricing.
• Live labor rates: CountBricks pulled the latest regional wage sheet, ensuring profitability.
• Automatic chemical calculation: The software added two gallons of oxygenated cleaner once “heavy moss” was mentioned.
• Instant documentation: Photos taken in-app were embedded into the proposal, eliminating follow-up emails.
1. Speak, don’t type. Voice entry captures nuance—like “sun-exposed south side”—that generic forms ignore.
2. Let AI suggest upsells. When the deck was flagged as unsealed, CountBricks proposed a stain package, adding $540 in revenue.
3. Close while enthusiasm is high. Real-time estimates shorten the gap between site visit and signature, boosting close rates.
