Automatic time tracking for pressure-washing pros.
How a pressure-washing pro's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A pressure-washing pro's day is the opposite. You're clearing algae, soft washing siding, and blasting concrete stains, switching between addresses like Residential driveways, Commercial storefronts, Apartment complexes, and doing tasks like Chemical pre-treatment, Surface cleaning, Gutter brightening. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction pressure-washing pros tell us about
- Losing track of prep time versus actual spray time on multi-stage residential jobs
- Forgetting to log the mileage for quick 'drive-by' rinse-ups or supply shop runs
- Difficulty justifying billable windows when moving between high-pressure and low-pressure tasks
How TradesTimer handles it
- Automatically detects every driveway and storefront stop to capture full billable windows
- Records every trip between jobs for an effortless, audit-ready mileage log
- Eliminates the need to touch your phone or manage timers while handling a pressure wand
