The homeowner gets a dozen calls in an hour and chooses on price, so the shared lead is already losing.
Pressure washing play · Leads without Angi
Pressure washing leads you own, not leads you share with four other crews.
Marketplace washing leads go to several companies and charge you win or lose. Spur mails the homes you pick, so every quote request is exclusive to you, and you pay only for postcards you send.

The problem
Pay-per-lead sites charge you for competition.
Many leads are wrong zips, DIY questions, or people who only wanted a ballpark.
Reviews, contact history, and repeat washes belong to the platform.

AI draft for Leo F. · 7710 W Ustick Rd
Hi Leo,
If you've ever tried to find a pressure washing company online, you know the drill: five calls, five prices, and no way to tell who is insured.
We do it differently. Scan the code and get an instant quote for your house and driveway from one local, insured crew. We use soft wash on siding, and there are no hidden fees.
No bidding war, and no pressure.

What shared washing leads really cost
A marketplace lead is a homeowner request sent to several washing companies at once. The first to call, or the lowest bidder, usually wins. A washing company can pay fifteen to fifty dollars for each such lead and close one in four. On a job worth three hundred dollars, a large share of the margin goes to the platform before the crew arrives.
A mailed lead is different in two ways. It is exclusive, because the owner scanned your card and no one else's. And it is better informed, because the card already stated the method, the price, and your insurance. Owners who scan are comparing you with doing nothing, not with four rivals.
Insurance and method are selling points. High-pressure washing can damage siding, windows, and roofs, and owners increasingly know it. A card that states you are insured and use soft wash for siding and roofs puts you ahead of operators who compete only on price.
Cost per job is the number that matters. A thousand cards at about a dollar each cost a thousand dollars. If forty owners scan and twenty request quotes, and ten book at three hundred dollars, you spent about a hundred dollars per job and kept every relationship, each a candidate for annual reminders.
You don't have to quit marketplaces on day one. Run Spur alongside them for a quarter, track cost per job for each, and shift budget toward what wins. Most washing companies find mail wins on margin and marketplaces win on speed, and use both until the mailed pipeline carries the calendar.
