Know who buys

Property managers, commercial HOAs, retail centers, industrial parks and hotels buy pressure washing on a schedule. Property managers want one recurring schedule across their whole portfolio. An HOA manager gathers bids and a board votes, often at a monthly meeting.

A retail center's sidewalks, entries and dumpster pad run $300 to $600 a month on contract. Industrial parks add loading docks and aprons, usually washed quarterly. Recurring contracts often discount 10 to 30 percent against one-time pricing.

Find the building and the signer

Drive the corridors. The management company name sits on plaza and office-park signs. Call it and ask for the vendor or facilities coordinator.

Operator+ shows every commercial building near you with what a cleaning is worth, biggest jobs first. It lists who runs and owns each building, in signing order, with a number.

Bid with a site walk

Walk the site first. Scope the work zone by zone with square footage, and show the one-time and recurring price side by side.

Attach your certificate of insurance. Common coverage runs $1 million to $2 million in liability. Add two references and before and after photos, and send the proposal within two days of the walkthrough.

Call with a number in hand

Operator+ prices the exterior clean from the building's measured wall area, so your first call opens with a real figure.

Send the proposal as a link before you leave the parking lot. The signer accepts with a typed name. Then schedule the job and invoice it in the same app.
