Pressure Washing Service Agreement Template: What to Include
Set clear expectations for surfaces, existing conditions, property risks, pricing, weather, completion checks, and approved changes before work begins.
Pressure washing results depend on the surface material, age, coatings, existing damage, staining, water and power access, treatment products, runoff controls, weather, and the approved cleaning method. A written service agreement helps the contractor and property owner confirm the scope and practical limitations before work begins.
The agreement should reflect the contractor’s actual methods, training, insurance, local environmental rules, and the property conditions observed during intake.
What to include in a pressure washing agreement
1. Scope of work
List each approved surface or area, the planned method, treatment products where known, access requirements, and explicit exclusions.
2. Surface condition and result limitations
Explain that cleaning does not repair wear, failed coatings, damaged mortar, oxidation, etched staining, rot, or other existing conditions. Avoid guaranteeing a result that cannot be confirmed before testing.
3. Pre-service property record
Document loose paint, cracks, damaged joints, fragile materials, landscaping, fixtures, nearby property, drainage, and other relevant conditions. Timestamped photographs can support the written record when the client has approved their use and storage.
4. Price and payment terms
State the pricing method, included areas, approved add-ons, deposit if any, payment due time, taxes or fees, and the process for authorizing a change.
5. Weather and rescheduling
Explain when weather, temperature, wind, water restrictions, runoff concerns, or unsafe conditions require postponement or stopping work, and how rescheduling is handled.
6. Completion review and touch-ups
Define the completion check, the notice period for concerns, what qualifies for an included touch-up, and what falls outside the agreed cleaning scope.
7. Responsibility, safety, and insurance
Record client responsibilities for access and property preparation, contractor safety boundaries, incident reporting, and accurate insurance information. Liability terms should be tailored to applicable law and policy requirements.
Make the before-condition record part of the agreement
The service agreement is strongest when it is supported by a property intake, treatment plan, utility and surface authorization, risk acknowledgment, pre-wash checklist, completion record, and incident form.
