Run a pressure washing business from ChatGPT

A washing company sells surfaces: house, driveway, fence, roof, storefront. The quote is those surfaces, the photos prove them, and the invoice follows the one the customer signed. ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok can draft all three inside Doing Work once connected at https://doingwork.work/mcp. Quote or invoice lines the assistant drafted stay unsent until a person whose role may send them sends them. The owner can always send quotes, invoices and visit recaps. Office can send them for any job, a lead for jobs on their crew, and field for jobs assigned to them, until the owner turns that send off.

Write the house as one option, the house and driveway as another, and the roof as an optional line they can add. You set the prices. The assistant must not invent one. If a price book task exists, it can build the lines from that task, and a customer on a maintenance plan gets the member price. The customer opens the link from the email or text, types their name, and signs. They do not create an account.

Take the deposit on that same quote page if you want money before a roof wash. The invoice can carry a deposit too. The balance is a pay link, card or bank, into your Stripe account. If they pay cash on the driveway, record it as paid outside Doing Work. That payment is not part of the Doing Work fee.

Photos and the Saturday you are already full

Before and after are stages on the upload: before, during, after, or other. Attach the pair to the quote when the customer needs to see the oxidation, not just hear about it. A summary the assistant writes can note damage or a soft board. If the photo does not match what the worker said, the assistant is supposed to say so before uploading.

A deck that has to be done before a Saturday party is a visit you mark urgent. You get a suggestion of who is free. You assign them. It will not move your other jobs unless you ask it to. Storefronts on a monthly loop are repeating visits, not a routed day. Doing Work does not order the drive between them.

Say this

  • "Draft a quote for the two-story house, with the driveway as an option and the roof as an optional line. Hold it."
  • "Attach the before photos to that quote with a caption about the oxidation on the north side."
  • "Book the cafe storefront on the first Monday of each month for the next 12 visits."
  • "The deck job is urgent. Who could go Saturday morning? Do not assign them."

Questions owners ask

Washing companies ask how the quote, the photos, and the deposit fit on one page.

Can I run a pressure washing business from ChatGPT?

Yes, if ChatGPT is connected to Doing Work, which depends on connectors being available on that account. Claude and Grok Bot are the other assistants this site talks about. Grok Bot is confirmed to connect. Quote or invoice lines the assistant drafted stay unsent until a person whose role may send them sends them. The owner can always send quotes, invoices and visit recaps. Office can send them for any job, a lead for jobs on their crew, and field for jobs assigned to them, until the owner turns that send off. The first $1,000 you're paid each month is free. Above that we take 0.5%, up to $149 in a month. No subscription.

How do I quote a house, a driveway, and a roof without three proposals?

Put them on one quote as options, or as a base price plus optional lines the customer ticks. They sign on the link. The invoice is for the option and the optional lines they picked.

Can the customer see the before and after photos on the quote?

Yes. Upload the photos to the job first, then attach the ones you want, with a caption. They show on the quote page. Shared copies have location and camera data removed. Your shop's copy keeps them.

What about a storefront I wash every month?

Book a monthly repeating visit, up to 104 of them. A flat-rate task in the price book can be the price for that storefront, including a member price if they are on a plan.

Do I need a parts system for soap and a surface cleaner?

Only if you want the cost on the job. Record the chemical as a material, or buy it on a purchase order for the job. There are no stock locations. Most washing quotes are a price for the surface, not a parts list.
