Pressure washing has a math problem that other trades do not. A driveway and walk might be a couple of hundred dollars. If you drive across town to measure it, talk to the homeowner and write a quote that night, you have spent half the job's profit before you have the job. Multiply that by every price shopper in spring and you can lose a whole season to quoting.
So the software that fits a washing business is the one that prices without a visit, books without phone tag and collects payment before you roll up the hose. This page covers what to look for, a checklist, and how the usual names line up.
- For small tickets, a price on your website from a satellite measurement beats a site visit.
- The customer who gets a price first and can book on the same page often stops shopping.
- Neighbors who saw the clean driveway are the warmest leads you will ever get.
- Commercial accounts like storefronts and property managers bring repeat washes. Look at how each tool helps you reach them.
Pricing without the drive
Driveways, walks, patios and roofs are measured in square feet. House washes go by size and stories. Once you have your rates, most quotes are arithmetic. The only missing piece is the measurement, and satellite images can give you a good first number for flat work and roofs.
Good pressure washing software uses that. A customer types their address on your site, picks driveway and walk, and gets your price on the spot. If the job is unusual, the software asks you once. You confirm the measurement when you arrive.
That changes the order of the sale. Instead of quote, wait, follow up, the customer sees a price, picks a Saturday slot and is booked before they call the next company.
Spring rush, slow winter
Most washing businesses see the phone light up when the pollen comes and again before the holidays, with a quiet stretch in the cold months in many parts of the country. Software should help in both directions:
- In the rush, every call and form needs an answer fast, because the customer is messaging three companies at once.
- Before the slow months, past customers should hear from you about a fall wash or a gutter clean while they still need it.
- All year, every job you finish should advertise to the houses around it.
The checklist
- A Get a price button on your site that answers from your own rates
- Driveways, walks and roofs measured from satellite for the first number
- Booking on the same page as the price, into your real day
- Missed calls and messages answered in minutes during the rush
- Estimates with options, like driveway only, driveway and walk, or the whole lot plus the house
- Payment at the door by card or phone wallet, with no card reader
- A review ask after each paid job
- Postcards with your before and after photo to the homes nearby
- Reminders to past customers each season
- A way to reach property managers and storefronts for repeat work
How Koira handles a washing business
Instant prices. The Get a price button on your Koira site answers from your own price list, day or night. Koira measures driveways and roofs from satellite images and multiplies by your rates. It never invents a price. Anything not on your list comes to you as one question, and Koira uses your answer from then on. On Standard you approve each price before it books. On Turbo, prices inside your limits book on their own. Instant quotes and measuring are on every plan. See instant quotes.
Booking. When the price works, the customer picks a time on the same page and the job lands on Today in driving order. On Grow, customers can also book by replying to a text with one of three open times. See booking by text.
The rush. On Grow, Koira answers on a Koira number and texts back every missed call in about a minute. It works in English and Spanish, so a customer who writes in Spanish gets a Spanish answer and you read it in English. See AI receptionist.
Bigger jobs. An estimate can carry up to three options from your price list. The customer picks, signs and pays a deposit on one page. Open estimates get a nudge on day two and day four. See estimates and signing.
Paid on the driveway. Tap done and the invoice goes out. The customer scans the QR code on your phone and pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The receipt is texted before you pack up. Card payments are on every plan. See pay at the door.
The street. After each job, Koira picks the nearby homes most likely to hire you, prints a card with the photo from the job and mails it the next morning. It skips your current customers. One flat price per card, which covers printing and postage, on every plan. See neighbor postcards.
Reviews. An hour after the invoice is paid, Koira texts the customer your Google review link. When the review comes in, a reply is drafted for you. Review asks are on every plan. See reviews.
Seasonal runs. On Grow, Koira texts and emails past customers who agreed to hear from you when the season turns, with one tap to book. See campaigns.
Commercial work. On Front Office, Koira finds property managers, realtors and HOAs near the towns you work and sends a short three-email introduction from a warmed-up domain, then stops. Replies land in your inbox as leads. See commercial outreach.

Each cell names the lowest plan whose card on the company's public pricing page lists that feature, checked October 8, 2026. A dash means we did not see it on the plan cards. The company may sell it as an add-on or on a higher tier, so ask them.
ServiceTitan sells three packages priced per technician on request, with no prices on its page, so it is left out of the table. It is mostly used by larger trade companies.

Choosing for your business
Think about the last ten jobs you lost. If they went to whoever answered first, start with how each tool handles the phone and instant prices. If you spent your evenings writing quotes for small jobs, start with satellite measuring and a price on your site. If your days are full but your street count is not growing, look at postcards and reviews.
Whatever you pick, put a real Saturday's worth of jobs through it. Koira has a free plan, and most of the others offer a trial.
