Resources
Free pressure washing tools, templates and checklists
Everything Raincrest offers to help you price, write up and inspect exterior cleaning sits on this one page. It’s built for property, facility and office managers who look after storefronts, plazas, lots and building walls.
What you’ll find here
Three working resources for commercial exteriors: a calculator that gives a per-wash cost range for flatwork, a facade write-up you can download and fill in, and a printable walk-around list for restaurant grounds. Each one opens on its own page with a short guide around it, and all three are free to use.
Pick the one that matches the job in front of you, whether that’s setting a budget line, writing up a building wash for bidders or checking a site after a busy weekend.
Calculator for concrete and paved areas
Pressure washing cost calculator: enter the square footage of the walks, plazas, surface lots or garage decks you want washed, and it shows a low and high figure for a single visit. Larger areas earn a lower rate per foot, small jobs carry a minimum, and you can send the range along with a quote request when it looks right.
A rough length and width taken from a site plan or an aerial map is plenty for a first number. If the entry walks come around every month and the back lot only twice a year, run each area separately so every range lines up with a real visit.
The calculator is meant for horizontal concrete. Walls, columns, canopies and other vertical surfaces depend on height, access and finish, so those are priced after we see them in person.
Templates and printable checklists
Facade cleaning scope of work: a fill-in template that gives each elevation of a building its own line for materials and what’s on the wall, then covers the wash method by surface, storm drain protection, access, protection of doors and fixtures, timing and sign-off. Download it as a PDF to print, a Word document to edit or an Excel sheet.
Restaurant exterior checklist: a one-page walk-around that runs from the drive-thru lane and menu board through the patio, the front entry, the walls, awnings and signs, and the ground behind the building, with a spot to note the washing schedule. Tick each spot that looks clean at the end of the day and the unticked lines show where attention is due. It comes as a PDF.
Managers often print the restaurant list for shift leads or district staff, so the same spots get looked at the same way at every location. The facade template is handy before a repaint, a lease renewal or a board budget meeting, when you need every wall written down in one place.
Using them side by side
Each resource answers a different question, so they work well in sequence. The calculator gives you a first budget figure for the flatwork. The facade template helps you list every wall and how it should be handled, so bidders price the same building. The restaurant checklist is for the walk you take afterward, or between visits, to see which outdoor spots are slipping.
None of them needs the others. A manager with only a lot to price can stop at the calculator, and an operator who simply wants a cleaner patio can print the checklist and start there.
Get help
When you’d like a crew to take it from here, request a free walkthrough. We measure every surface with you, note the staining and timing, and you get a written quote covering each area afterward. Mention any walls, tags or a date you’re working toward, like a grand opening, so the visit covers it all.
A few useful answers
Common questions
Do these resources cost anything?
No. The calculator, the facade template and the restaurant checklist are all free, and you can use them as often as you like for any property you manage.
Is the calculator’s figure our price?
It’s an estimate range for one wash of the flatwork you enter. Your exact price comes after a walkthrough, and the written quote that follows lists every surface and how often it gets washed.
Can I edit the facade template?
Yes. The Word and Excel versions are made for editing, so you can add elevations, rename surfaces or adjust the sign-off lines to fit your building. The PDF is there when you’d rather fill it in by hand.
Why isn’t there a calculator for building walls?
Wall washing turns on things a form can’t see, such as height, lift access and the type of finish. Those are checked on site, so the facade template is the better starting point for a building wash.
