The Pressure Washing Bundle Close: How to 2.4x Your Average Ticket
Why "just the driveway" kills your route density
The homeowner wants the driveway done. You quote $280, they shop two competitors, low bidder wins. You burned 30 minutes for nothing. The fix: never quote one surface in isolation.
The walk-the-property bundle
Step 1 — Pull up, redirect. "Before I price the driveway, can I do a quick lap of the house? That way you get the full picture."
Step 2 — Narrate the algae, not the dirt. "See those black streaks on the north side of the roof? That's gloeocapsa magma — actually eats shingles. And the green on the siding is mildew. Both spread."
Step 3 — Build the priority bundle.
- House soft-wash: $480
- Driveway + walkway: $280
- Roof soft-wash: $620
- Bundle: $1,180 (saves $200 vs. separate)
Step 4 — Anchor the annual program. "Most of my customers do this once a year. Lock in the annual program at this price for 3 years — that's $295 a quarter, on autopay."
The 3 stalls
- "My neighbor does it for $200." → "Your neighbor's probably running a $400 Lowe's machine without surfactants. That blasts paint off siding. We soft-wash with the chemistry actually approved by GAF."
- "Just the driveway today." → "Cool — driveway only is $280. I'll leave you the full property quote in writing, no pressure. Roof should really get done before next summer though."
- "I'll wait until spring." → "Algae spreads through winter. The longer it sits, the more it stains. Spring price will be 8% higher anyway — material costs."
