Few maintenance tasks transform curb appeal as quickly as power washing. Whether you are refreshing siding, brightening a driveway, or preparing a deck for stain, knowing what the job should cost is essential. Inflated numbers stall projects, while lowball guesses invite costly surprises. CountBricks solves this with real-time, AI-generated power washing estimates built for residential construction.
CountBricks brings three key strengths to every estimate:
• Voice-to-Estimate AI: Talk through scope on-site and receive an instant, itemized quote.
• Live Materials & Labor Pricing: Our database updates in real time with local Knoxville, TN costs, ensuring accuracy for detergents, fuel, equipment, and crew rates.
• Integrated Invoices & Scheduling: Approve the estimate, convert it to an invoice, and lock in a start date—all inside CountBricks.com/services.
Understanding the variables behind every number helps you evaluate bids. CountBricks breaks each estimate into transparent line items:
• Surface area in square feet—pulled directly from blueprint takeoffs or on-site laser measurements
• Surface material—vinyl, fiber-cement, brick, wood, or concrete each require specific PSI and detergents
• Height & accessibility—two-story façades, steep-pitch roofs, and tight side yards may need lift rentals or additional safety gear
• Soil level—light mildew versus heavy oxidization changes detergent dwell times and labor hours
• Environmental controls—nearby landscaping may add plant protection steps and rinse time
1. Open the CountBricks mobile app and select “Exterior Cleaning.”
2. Walk the property, dictating details: “North elevation has 800 square feet of vinyl siding with medium mildew.”
3. The AI cross-references local labor averages, material costs, and production rates.
4. A complete estimate—including equipment mobilization, detergents, disposal, and taxes—appears instantly for your review.
5. Tap “Send Proposal” to deliver a branded PDF straight to the homeowner’s inbox.
Every property is unique, but CountBricks data shows these common benchmarks:
• Single-story vinyl siding: $0.25 – $0.35 per sq. ft.
• Two-story fiber-cement: $0.35 – $0.50 per sq. ft.
• Concrete driveway cleaning: $0.15 – $0.25 per sq. ft.
• Composite deck wash & brightener: $0.75 – $1.10 per sq. ft.
Because our software updates pricing daily, your quote always reflects current market conditions, fuel surcharges, and seasonal demand.
• Bundle tasks—washing siding, walkways, and fences together lowers mobilization costs.
• Schedule offseason—late fall and early winter often feature promotional rates.
• Clear obstacles—removing furniture and trimming bushes speeds production hours.
• Opt for soft washing on delicate materials—lower PSI means less water usage and faster cleanup.
• Approve digitally—electronic signatures via CountBricks.com/portfolio eliminate paperwork delays.
The homeowner feared damaging 1920s cedar shakes. Using CountBricks blueprint takeoffs, we calculated exact square footage, selected a biodegradable detergent, and specified 800 PSI soft wash. The AI produced a $1,480 estimate—15 % below competing bids—because it recognized that lower pressure required fewer labor hours than manual scrubbing. The project finished one day early, and the client booked annual maintenance through CountBricks.com/consultation.
Once the client hits “Accept,” CountBricks auto-generates an invoice, schedules the crew, and syncs tasks to your field app. No double entry, no missed line items—just a clear trail from first conversation to paid invoice.
Stop guessing. Start building confidence with every homeowner interaction. Create your free CountBricks account, speak your scope aloud, and watch a professional power washing estimate populate in seconds.
Traditional estimating relies on annual price books that are outdated the moment they hit print. CountBricks pulls live data feeds from regional suppliers and contractor networks to keep every power washing estimate razor-sharp.
• Crews log actual hours in the CountBricks field app, feeding anonymized production rates back into our database.
• The system adjusts future estimates when average hours trend up or down, reflecting real-world efficiency.
• Detergent and degreaser costs fluctuate with raw chemical prices; our API updates nightly.
• Fuel surcharges for trailer-mounted machines are factored in automatically, protecting your margins.
1. The platform monitors project volume by ZIP code.
2. When demand spikes before spring listing season, CountBricks recommends premium pricing tiers.
3. During slower months, the AI suggests bundle discounts to keep crews busy.
By anchoring every number to current market realities, contractors avoid underbidding and homeowners avoid sticker shock. That transparency translates into higher close rates, fewer change orders, and stronger reviews on CountBricks.com/portfolio.
