Stop Driving to Every Pre-Quote
If you run a pressure washing business, you know the routine: a lead comes in, you schedule a site visit, you drive out, you measure with a tape measure or walk-the-perimeter estimate, drive back, do the math, then send the quote. That's an hour minimum — for a job you might not even win.
The busier contractors in your market aren't doing this. They're measuring from their desk using satellite imagery and sending quotes the same day a lead comes in — sometimes within minutes. That speed wins jobs.
SurfaceMeasure is the calculator they're using. It's built specifically for outdoor surfaces: pool decks, driveways, patios, and anything else you'd pressure wash. You get exact square footage, a PDF you can attach to your quote, and a shareable link if you want to show the client exactly what you measured.
Works for Every Surface You Wash
Pool decks, driveways, patios, commercial pads — if it has a flat surface, you can measure it.
Pool Decks
Trace the full deck, trace the pool — net area auto-calculated.
Driveways
Straight, curved, or multi-section — works for any shape.
Patios
Irregular shapes, cutouts, steps — measure exactly what you'll wash.
Commercial Lots
Large parking areas and concrete surfaces measured accurately.
How the Calculator Works
No downloads. No app. Works in any browser from your phone, tablet, or computer.
Search the Address
Type the client's address. Satellite imagery loads in about two seconds — overhead, high-res, right on the property.
Trace the Surface
Click around the deck, driveway, or patio perimeter. Each click places a point. Close the shape and the area calculates instantly.
Subtract the Pool (if applicable)
For pool decks, trace the pool outline. SurfaceMeasure subtracts it automatically. Net area = exactly what you're washing.
Export and Quote
Copy the square footage to your clipboard, export a PDF report, or share the measurement link with the client.

Common Questions
How do I calculate square footage for a pressure washing estimate?
Use SurfaceMeasure to pull up any property on satellite imagery, trace the surface you're quoting, and get the square footage instantly. No site visit, no tape measure. For pool decks, it automatically subtracts the pool area so you only quote the actual surface.
What's the standard price per square foot for pressure washing?
Most pressure washing contractors charge $0.08–$0.35 per square foot depending on the surface type, condition, and region. Pool decks and driveways typically fall in the $0.10–$0.25 range. Having accurate square footage is the first step to quoting confidently.
Can I estimate pressure washing jobs without visiting the property?
Yes. SurfaceMeasure lets you measure any property from satellite imagery in under a minute. Type the address, trace the surface, get the square footage. No drive time, no tape measure.
How do I measure a pool deck for pressure washing?
In SurfaceMeasure, select Pool Deck mode, search the address, draw the deck polygon, then draw the pool polygon. The tool automatically subtracts the pool to give you the net deck area — the exact surface you're washing.
