I won’t point out that you’re missing a comma before “son”.

I would tell my employer to add a comma to the paycheck with a couple more zeros. Was told I’d be making 715 a day! Or just start a pressure washing business and double that.

I agree not having a huge loan over your head is less stressful but nothings really expensive in this business. If you had no money you could get a decent truck and trailer built for $30k. I’m saying 15-18k for a good half ton truck and the rest for the trailer. That’s not a big loan.
But at the end of the day the more people who are buying cheap equipment the less I have to worry about competition.

Last summer I used my old homeowner washer on my house just to see how long it would take compared to my 7 gpm. Main reason I did it was from seeing all the posts about 2 gpm machines on here and how you can get by with one. It took 3 times as long to wash it. Finance decent equipment and instead washing a house or two a day you can wash 5. Multiply that by days in a month and look how much more money that good equipment will make you rather than sticking to the small homeowner unit. That loan will make your life easier and make you more money from the get go. I can’t imagine using a small machine. I hate financing anything but will if it makes sense. I’m more of a cash money kind of guy. Not financing a decent pressure washer you’re basically losing out on 66% or more profit because everything just takes that much longer. Time is money. I think people are better off waiting another year to start their business and saving up or financing. They ought to spend a year or more researching and learning how to wash and run a business anyways.

I doubt a new guy is your competition even if they have identical equipment.

To add to that, half of the paying jobs I’ve gotten so far have come from people walking or driving past my organized, professional equipment and stopping to ask if I’d come over for an estimate. A tucked in shirt and a smile definitely helps, but having pro-grade equipment on display is what really brings them in I think.
