The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 8 other Michigan markets we cover the average is 63%, so Sterling Heights sits above the state pattern. For a power washing operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.

That is below most of the markets we cover (28th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 41 inches.

How does the CRM handle quoting for different surface types?+
The system builds quotes from your configured surface pricing matrix. When a prospect identifies their surfaces — driveway, patio, house siding, deck — the system calculates pricing based on your rates for each surface type, estimated square footage, and any condition adjustments. Multi-surface bundles are automatically applied when the prospect selects qualifying combinations. The quote is presented clearly showing the per-surface pricing and the bundle discount, making the value of doing multiple surfaces obvious. Technicians can adjust square footage and scope on site if the actual measurements differ from the estimate.
Does the system support both pressure washing and soft washing services?+
Yes. Pressure washing and soft washing are configured as separate service categories with distinct pricing, equipment requirements, and crew qualifications. The scheduling system ensures soft wash jobs are assigned to crews with soft wash equipment and training. When a lead has surfaces requiring both methods — concrete driveway with pressure washing and vinyl siding with soft washing — the system can schedule both as a single visit if the assigned crew has the right equipment or split them into separate visits if different rigs are needed. Quoting handles the mixed methods transparently.
