AI receptionist for pressure washing companies
For pressure washing crews who cannot hear the phone over a running surface cleaner.
Your rig is roaring on a driveway in spring and a homeowner calls about a green-streaked deck. You will not hear it. Tactly will, and it gets the job written down.

Can an AI receptionist work for pressure washing companies?
Tactly is an AI receptionist for pressure washing and exterior cleaning companies. It answers while your equipment is running and after hours, asks what needs washing, such as the house, driveway, deck or roof, and roughly how big it is, then books a quote visit or the job itself into an open time on your calendar. It answers from your notes on soft washing and pricing you choose to share, and emails every call as a summary with the transcript.
The problem
Missed calls are missed work.
Pressure washing is a spring rush business. Homeowners decide on a sunny Saturday that the siding looks dingy and call right then. With water running and earmuffs on, you miss most of those calls, and the homeowner books whoever picks up next.
Many operators are one or two people with a trailer. Every hour on the phone is an hour not washing. Tactly answers in the moment, collects the surfaces and size, and lets you quote from the summary at the end of the day.
Calls it handles
The calls pressure washing companies get every day.
House and siding washes
Tactly asks about stories, siding type and mildew, and books the soft wash or a quote visit you have open.
Driveways and patios
Concrete, pavers and stained walkways. It notes the rough size and any oil spots for your quote.
Decks and fences
Wood and composite need a gentler touch. Tactly answers from what you wrote and books a look if you need one.
Storefronts and lots
Business owners asking about after-hours sidewalk or dumpster pad cleaning are taken as a message with the address.
Setup tips
What to put in your notes.
Tactly answers only from what you tell it. These are the lines that matter most for pressure washing companies.
- List each surface you clean and the ones you will not touch, like painted brick or very old roofs.
- Write any minimum charge or starting prices you are comfortable sharing, and leave everything else for your quote.
- Add a note on water access, such as needing an outdoor spigot, so callers know before you arrive.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Can Tactly book a wash without a quote visit?
Yes, if you tell it which jobs it may book directly. Everything else becomes a quote visit or a message.

No. It makes no promises about results and answers only from your notes.
Is Starter enough for a two-person crew?
Starter is $49 a month with 100 minutes. If spring brings more calls, you can move to Pro or Growth and switch back later.
