When to use this template
Assign and adjust execution details online, then generate a field-ready work order PDF. Use this once the customer approves pricing and you need to dispatch your crew with exact surface specs, equipment requirements, and chemical mixing ratios.
What to include
- Job site address, gate codes, water source location (spigot, hydrant), parking instructions, and on-site contact name and phone number.
- Surface map: each area to clean with surface type, square footage, cleaning method, PSI setting, nozzle tip degree, and surface cleaner size to use.
- Chemical mix sheet: downstream ratio, SH concentration per surface (e.g., 3% for vinyl, 6% for concrete), surfactant amount per gallon, and dwell time before rinse.
- Equipment checklist: machine(s) needed with GPM and PSI, hose length required, surface cleaner diameter, X-jet or downstream injector, tip set, safety gear (goggles, gloves, boots).
- Completion checklist: all surfaces rinsed, no chemical residue on plants or glass, hose bibs turned off, before-and-after photos taken, and customer walkthrough signed.
Common questions
- Can I edit this Pressure Washing Work Order online before dispatch?
- Yes. Update crew assignments, site notes, materials, and task sequencing directly in-browser.
- Can I save this Pressure Washing Work Order and duplicate it for recurring job types?
- Yes. With an account, save it as an operational template and reuse it for similar service calls or installs.
- Can I export this Pressure Washing Work Order as a crew-ready PDF?
- Yes. Generate a PDF your team can open on-site or print for job folders.
- Should I include chemical ratios on the work order?
- Yes. Crew members mix on-site. If the ratio is wrong, you get streaking on soft wash or etching on concrete. Write the exact downstream draw rate and SH strength.
- Do I need before-and-after photos?
- Always. They protect you from damage claims, serve as marketing material, and let you verify quality without driving back to the job site.
- How do I handle plant protection on the work order?
- Add a line item: wet all landscaping before and after chemical application, cover sensitive plants with tarps, and rinse soil within 5 feet of treated surfaces.
- How do I document PSI and nozzle settings for different surfaces on the same job?
- List each surface type (concrete, wood deck, vinyl siding) with its required PSI, nozzle degree, and tip size. This prevents a crew member from blasting vinyl siding at concrete pressure and causing damage.
- How do I keep track of multiple jobs at once?
- Assign each job its own numbered work order with a clear scope, crew assignment, and due date. This keeps your team organized and prevents tasks from falling through the cracks.
- What if the customer asks for extra work on site?
- Document any scope changes on the work order before starting the extra work. Get the customer to acknowledge the additional cost so you avoid doing free work.
- Do I really need a work order for small jobs?
- Yes. Even small jobs can lead to disputes about what was agreed. A quick work order takes two minutes and protects you from a customer claiming the work was different from what they asked for.
