Are the before-and-after photos of a customer's deck stored anywhere?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs and make sure it meets state privacy laws like CCPA or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

What does this cost to add to my pressure washing business?

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Can the preview show different stain colors on the same deck?

Yes. Once a homeowner sees their boards clean and brightened, you can generate additional previews in the stain options you're quoting — cedar tone, natural, walnut, or a solid-color solution — so the color conversation happens with a picture instead of a fan deck.

Does it work on composite decking, or only wood?

Both. Composite boards from Trex, TimberTech, and similar brands develop surface oxidation and chalking that homeowners often assume is permanent or means the deck needs replacing. The AI generates a preview of the composite restored, which is usually the moment they realize a cleaning service — not a remodel — solves the problem.

Can it show a paver patio after sealing, not just after cleaning?

Yes. Cleaning removes algae, moss, and efflorescence haze; sealing adds the wet-look sheen and color enhancement that most paver sealers produce. You can generate both stages separately so the homeowner sees exactly what the cleaning-only price buys versus the cleaning-plus-seal package.

Does the AI know the difference between pressure-treated pine, cedar, and paver material, or does it just apply a generic 'clean' filter?

It preserves the specific material in the photo — board grain and width for wood, unit shape and joint pattern for pavers or stamped concrete. The output reflects what that specific surface looks like clean, not a generic wood-deck stock image swapped over your customer's yard.

How is this different from just showing a homeowner photos from my last job?

A portfolio photo is someone else's deck, someone else's wood tone, someone else's amount of algae buildup — and homeowners discount it accordingly ("sure, but mine's worse"). A preview generated from their own photo removes that objection because it's their railing, their boards, their staining, not a comp.

Can I generate the preview on-site from my phone during the walkthrough?

Yes. Take a normal photo of the deck or patio while you're writing the estimate — no drone shots, no special lighting rig. The preview generates in seconds, so you can pull it up and close the bid before you've left the driveway.

What is a deck/patio cleaning preview?

A deck and patio cleaning preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a homeowner's own deck or patio after washing, brightening, and sealing. The technician photographs the weathered boards or stained pavers during the on-site estimate, and the tool produces a side-by-side comparison showing the same surface restored — not a generic before-and-after pulled from a different job. Pressure washing and exterior cleaning companies use this during the walkthrough to close the bid before the homeowner starts collecting competing quotes over text.

Why it matters

Deck and patio cleaning is one of the easiest trades to get into — a truck, a pressure washer, and a few chemicals — so homeowners routinely collect three or four near-identical quotes for the same 400-square-foot deck. The base wash runs $150–$400, but the real margin sits in the stain-and-seal upsell that can push a ticket to $600–$1,500, or in paver sealing at $0.50–$1.50 per square foot on top of the cleaning charge. Most companies lose that upsell not because the homeowner doubts the pitch but because "stained and sealed" is an abstraction until they see it on their own boards. A preview generated at the estimate turns that upsell into something the homeowner can point at and say yes to.

Who uses this

Owner-operators running one- or two-truck pressure washing companies who write the estimate and do the work themselves. Sales reps and estimators at multi-crew exterior cleaning franchises bidding several properties a day who need to close on the first visit. Deck restoration specialists who sell wood brightening and staining as a standalone service on top of general power washing.

Heard this from a homeowner?

Homeowners walk past their own gray, algae-streaked deck every day and it stops registering as dirty — they say "it's not that bad, just give it a quick spray" and balk at a full soft-wash-and-brighten invoice.

You explain that cleaning is step one and staining or sealing is what actually protects the wood, but they can't picture the color difference between bare washed cedar and a semi-transparent stain — so they decline the upsell and you walk away with a $200 wash instead of an $800 restoration job.

They're holding three near-identical text quotes from other outfits, every one reading "wash deck, wash patio," and with nothing to tell your bid apart, they book whoever's cheapest.

How deck/patio cleaning previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the deck or patio during the walkthrough

Snap the algae-streaked boards, mildew-stained pavers, or chalky composite on your phone while you're writing up the estimate. No special camera or lighting setup needed.

AI generates the restored preview

The model renders the same boards or the same pavers clean, brightened, and — if you're quoting it — stained or sealed, preserving board width, wood grain, and paver joint pattern.

Present it before you leave the driveway

Show the homeowner their own deck or patio restored, right next to the dirty version. Close the work order on-site instead of getting lost in a round of competing text-message quotes.
