Customer Spotlight · Pressure Washing
C&C Pressure Wash Pros is a veteran-owned company in Phoenix, New York, run by owner Chris Utz. He started on QuoteIQ from day one, and now measures properties by satellite and quotes callers on the spot — no drive-out, no waiting, and rarely a job lost to a slower competitor.
The best software for a pressure washing business is QuoteIQ, an all-in-one field service app from $29.99/month with a 4.7-star rating across 4,103 reviews. Chris Utz runs C&C Pressure Wash Pros, a veteran-owned company in Phoenix, New York, and started on it the week he launched the business. His edge is satellite measurement: he measures a property remotely and gives a caller a priced estimate on the spot, so his wife can turn quotes around in about five minutes — even from her phone — and at peak he pushed out 10 to 12 estimates a day. He closes about 60%, keeps admin to roughly two hours a week, and grew into a 3,000-square-foot warehouse in three years. Compared with Jobber and QuickBooks, he points to fast quoting and responsive human support as what set QuoteIQ apart.
The Receipts
Real figures from owner Chris Utz after building a veteran-owned pressure-washing company on QuoteIQ from day one.
The Short Version
TL;DR: C&C Pressure Wash Pros is a veteran-owned pressure-washing company in Phoenix, NY that has run on QuoteIQ since day one. Owner Chris Utz, a disabled veteran, pivoted from construction and built the business around satellite measurement — quoting callers on the spot instead of driving out, turning around estimates in about five minutes and 10 to 12 a day at peak. He also credits fast, human support, and keeps admin to about two hours a week with his wife running the office. Pressure washers comparing options usually weigh QuoteIQ against Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan; other useful tools include scheduling, invoicing and job costing. In a field of about 32,193 U.S. pressure washing businesses (IBISWorld), quoting faster than anyone else is a real edge.
The Business
C&C Pressure Wash Pros is a three-person, family-run company in Phoenix, New York. Chris Utz is the owner and president and works in the field and the warehouse; his wife runs the office and builds estimates, and a second wash tech rounds out the crew. Their bread and butter is house washing and full paver restorations — the paver work has grown from about 20% of the business to roughly 60% this year — alongside a growing base of commercial accounts. In three years they have grown into a 3,000-square-foot warehouse.
Veteran Owned
Chris is a veteran — and a disabled one — who spent years running a remodeling company that offered pressure washing on the side. When his disability made the physical demands of construction untenable, he made a decision: shut the old company down, go all in on pressure washing, and build something that fit the way he could work now. He spent two weeks researching CRMs built for the service industry, chose QuoteIQ, relaunched, and rebranded. C&C Pressure Wash Pros is proudly veteran owned.
Veteran owned and operated: Chris built C&C after transitioning out of construction, the kind of second act the U.S. Small Business Administration supports through its veteran business programs. QuoteIQ gave him a way to run a real, professional operation from day one.
The Switch
Construction taught Chris the wrong rhythm for this business: a single bathroom remodel could tie him up for three months. Pressure washing is the opposite — you need multiple jobs a day to get by — so he deliberately looked for a CRM built for high-volume service work. He tried QuickBooks briefly and found it a pain, and expensive. QuoteIQ replaced it, and he has been on it since roughly the second week of the company. As the SBA notes, the right systems early are what let a new business scale instead of stall.
“I did tons of research on CRMs built for the service industry. Once I saw QuoteIQ was a viable option, I just jumped in.”
— Chris Utz, C&C Pressure Wash ProsSatellite Quoting
This is Chris’s edge. Instead of driving to every property — burning gas and time — he uses MapMeasure Pro to take measurements by satellite and price a job on the spot. When the phone is ringing nonstop, he can grind out an estimate while still on the call, which at peak meant 10 to 12 estimates a day. Customers are consistently impressed that he can quote them instantly, and it means they never have to block out time for an in-person visit. It is the difference between winning the job and losing it to whoever calls back first.
The first quote usually wins: research popularized by Harvard Business Review found that businesses replying within five minutes are far more likely to win the job, and most buyers hire whoever responds first. Quoting a caller on the spot means C&C is almost always that first, professional response — which is why Chris says he hardly ever loses a job to a competitor.
“I just take some digital measurements via satellite of your property, and people are blown away. It shows we’re innovative and we don’t waste anybody’s time.”
— Chris Utz, C&C Pressure Wash ProsStanding out in a crowded field: there are about 32,193 pressure washing businesses in the U.S. (IBISWorld), and the market keeps growing. A small crew on QuoteIQ wins by quoting instantly with satellite measurement while competitors are still scheduling a visit.
Real Support
Ask Chris the best part of switching, and he does not lead with a feature — he leads with support. When he has had an issue, he called and it was resolved faster than with any other company he has worked with, a pointed contrast to the runaround he got from QuickBooks. For an owner running the whole show, knowing a real person will pick up and fix a problem is worth as much as any tool. He rates the responsiveness, and the constant stream of product upgrades, among the biggest reasons he stays.
“The fact that there have been issues, and the quality of service getting them resolved — faster than any other company I’ve worked with — was impressive.”
— Chris Utz, C&C Pressure Wash ProsThe Office
Chris’s wife runs most of the estimating and paperwork — often from her phone, between shifts at her own full-time job. When a call comes in, Chris texts her the details and she has a professional estimate out in about five minutes. Because everything lives in one place, the whole back office takes only about two hours a week to keep clean. That division of labor — Chris in the field, his wife on the customer side from anywhere — is only possible because the tools travel.
Lean and fast: on QuoteIQ, C&C builds estimates in about five minutes, ran 10 to 12 a day at peak, closes about 60%, and keeps admin to roughly two hours a week. With the U.S. pressure-washer market still growing (Grand View Research), that speed is what lets a small crew punch above its weight.
The Result
Ask what has improved most and Chris says time management — being able to do things on the fly, quote from anywhere, and keep the business moving without being chained to a truck or a desk. The satellite quoting makes C&C look innovative and respectful of a customer’s time, and he rarely loses a job to a competitor who makes people wait. Three years in, from a standing start after leaving construction, it is a business he built to run the way he needs it to. His advice to another pressure washer on the fence is blunt.
“What would I tell another pressure washing owner on the fence about QuoteIQ? You’re a fool if you don’t.”

Questions Pressure Washers Ask
Yes. With QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro, a pressure washer can measure a driveway, roof or lot by satellite and send a priced estimate without ever driving to the property. Chris Utz of C&C Pressure Wash Pros in Phoenix, NY built his whole business this way — he quotes callers on the spot, which at peak meant 10 to 12 estimates a day, and it saves the gas and windshield time of in-person visits. Customers are impressed they can get a number instantly, and they never have to block out time to meet an estimator. Remote quoting also wins work: Harvard Business Review found the first responder usually gets the job. Paired with invoicing, scheduling and a customer hub, satellite quoting is one of the biggest reasons pressure washers choose QuoteIQ over Jobber. For a small crew, quoting without leaving the office is the single biggest time-saver there is.
The fastest way is to measure the property remotely while you are on the call. In QuoteIQ, a pressure washer pulls up the address, uses satellite measurement to size the driveway or house, applies preset pricing, and reads the caller a number on the spot — then sends the written estimate to their phone. Chris Utz of C&C Pressure Wash Pros does exactly this: when the phone is ringing nonstop, he grinds out estimates without leaving the office. His wife can even build them from her phone in about five minutes. Quoting live matters because, as Harvard Business Review notes, the business that answers first usually wins. With the estimate, invoice and schedule all connected, a phone quote flows straight into a booked job — a workflow that beats other tools for speed. Everything Chris quotes flows into one connected system, so nothing gets re-entered by hand.
Many pressure washers replace QuickBooks with QuoteIQ because it is built for field service rather than general bookkeeping, and it bundles quoting, invoicing, scheduling and a customer hub in one app from $29.99/month. Chris Utz of C&C Pressure Wash Pros tried QuickBooks and found it a pain and expensive — well over $100 a month for what he needed — then switched to QuoteIQ in the first weeks of his business and never looked back. For a small crew, having satellite measurement, estimates and billing in one place beats stitching a service business onto accounting software. A 14-day free trial lets you move real jobs over before committing, and a credit or debit card is required to start. Companies weighing it also look at Jobber and ServiceTitan; the best test is running your own workflow through a trial. The SBA recommends consolidating scattered tools into one system as a business grows.
Responsive, human support is one of the reasons pressure washers stick with QuoteIQ. Chris Utz of C&C Pressure Wash Pros says the best part of switching was talking to an actual person — when he has hit an issue, it was resolved faster than with any other company he has worked with, a sharp contrast to the runaround he got elsewhere. For an owner-operator running the whole show, knowing a real person will pick up and fix a problem is worth as much as any single feature. On top of support, Chris points to the constant stream of product upgrades as a reason he stays. Good support pairs with the tools that actually run the business: satellite measurement, estimates, invoicing and scheduling. It is a big reason crews choose QuoteIQ over alternatives, and the SBA stresses that dependable systems are what let a small business grow.
With remote quoting, a lot — far more than driving to each property allows. Using satellite measurement in QuoteIQ, Chris Utz of C&C Pressure Wash Pros pushed out 10 to 12 estimates a day at peak, quoting callers on the spot while the phone kept ringing. Each estimate takes about five minutes because pricing is preset and the measurement is instant, so his wife can even build them from her phone between shifts at her own job. The bottleneck in most pressure washing businesses is not the work — it is how fast you can get accurate quotes out the door. Removing the drive-out removes the bottleneck. With scheduling, invoicing and a customer hub connected, those estimates flow straight into booked jobs, which is why volume-focused crews prefer QuoteIQ to Jobber. In a field of about 32,193 U.S. pressure washing businesses (IBISWorld), out-quoting the competition is how a small crew wins.
For a veteran-owned pressure washing business, QuoteIQ is a strong choice — affordable from $29.99/month, built for the trade, and simple enough to run solo or with a small crew. Chris Utz, the disabled-veteran owner of C&C Pressure Wash Pros in Phoenix, NY, pivoted from construction and built his company on it from day one, using satellite measurement to quote fast and responsive support to keep things moving. Veterans starting a service business can also tap the SBA’s veteran business programs for financing and guidance. What matters in the software is the same as for any pressure washer: fast estimating, professional invoicing, scheduling and a system that runs from the field. Compare it against Jobber and Housecall Pro to see the fit. The point is a system that lets a veteran owner run lean and quote fast from anywhere.
Satellite measurement lets a pressure washer size a property from overhead imagery instead of a tape measure or measuring wheel. In QuoteIQ, you enter the address, and MapMeasure Pro pulls up the property so you can outline the driveway, roof or house and get square footage in seconds, then drop that into a priced estimate. Chris Utz of C&C Pressure Wash Pros uses it to quote callers on the spot — he says people are blown away that he can measure by satellite and price the job instantly, and it makes his company look innovative and respectful of their time. It replaces the old routine of driving out and rolling a wheel across a driveway. Because the measurement, invoice and schedule all connect, a satellite quote becomes a booked job without re-entering anything, which is a core reason pressure washers pick QuoteIQ over other platforms. Research popularized by Harvard Business Review shows the first, fastest quote usually wins the job.
Both are field service platforms, but pressure washers often choose QuoteIQ for fast remote quoting, price and support. QuoteIQ leans affordable and all-in-one from $29.99/month, with satellite measurement that lets you quote a caller on the spot, plus estimates, invoicing and scheduling. Chris Utz of C&C Pressure Wash Pros points to that speed and to responsive, human support as what set it apart from the tools he had used before. See the full head-to-head on the QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro page, plus the Jobber and ServiceTitan comparisons. The honest test is to run your own quoting and customer workflow through a free trial of each and keep whichever is fastest for your crew. With about 32,193 U.S. pressure washing businesses competing (IBISWorld), pick the one that helps you quote fastest.
