Soft Wash Estimate Template (Free)
A soft wash estimate needs the area by the square foot, each surface (house siding, roof, walkways) as its own line, the treatment method noted, and any add-ons like gutter brightening itemized — plus a valid-until date and acceptance line. Copy the template below, or use quoting software that converts it straight to an invoice.

Approved by: ____________ Date: ______Why the method line wins the job
A soft-wash line is your defense against the lowball pressure-only quote. The customer can see you’re using the method that won’t strip paint or drive water under the shingles — which is exactly why yours is worth more.
Skipping the copy-paste
A blank template works, but re-typing an accepted estimate into an invoice invites errors. Quoting software converts the approved estimate straight into an invoice in one tap, with a payment link.
Frequently asked questions
Should each surface be its own line?
Yes. Siding, roof, and flatwork are different jobs with different methods and risk, and itemizing them lets a customer add or drop a surface without renegotiating the whole quote.
Why note the treatment method?
Soft wash versus pressure is the whole selling point — recording the low-pressure chemical method documents that you're doing the safe, longer-lasting job a cheaper pressure-only quote isn't.
Should the estimate expire?
Yes — a valid-until date protects your pricing and gives the customer a gentle reason to book before the season fills.
