This goes out to Heath Felps and his team over at Texas Pressure Washing!
I’m Aiden Lee, a 20 year college student in Georgia. I came across this industry and fell in love with it immediately, pouring in all the extra man hours into researching how I could make this work for myself and the best way that I could do it. In my many hours of research, I stumbled across Heath and we got to talking. Throughout this 4-5 month process of me getting all the lists together, forming everything, buying everything, obtain business credit, it was an understatement to say that I was stressed.
Then come last week, the dreams started becoming a reality. I used my funds to purchase all of the equipment that I thought I needed to start a business and turns out, I was missing a whole lot of stuff and no tools to build my trailer with. At this road block, I reached out to Heath to see what could be done. Not only did he agreed to helping me out as his store, he told me that he’d do everything for free of charge and got me a hotel to stay at during my time in Texas. So, with his generosity, I took a leap of faith and went on a road trip with a trailer (never driven with a trailer before) and went outside Georgia for the first time of my life in my time here in America.
When I got there, I’m not really sure what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t what I saw and experienced from my time with them. Their team, as big as they are, are complete FAMILY. You hear this being thrown out there all the time from companies, but this is literally the ONE company in my professional career where I really felt like that. Everyone was so connected, communicating with each other, grinding hard as hell, but still having fun and acknowledging each other so well. Working with them was one of the greatest things that I’ve experienced in my life and if I was in Texas, I wouldn’t hesitate to work for them for even one microsecond. We managed to finish my entire trailer with everything on it in a single business day, with everyone constantly working super hard no matter how hard it got, and helping each other out.
While we were working on the trailer, Heath Felps throws another unexpected surprise that we were going to get me a free water tank, 12V pump (Remco 7GPM), proportioner, 12" Hannay hose reel, and hoses for the 12V and supply reels. This was after already plumbing out my entire system, welding on my reels, and giving me every connection that I missed throughout this entire process. I was at a loss for words, but I can’t say anything more about Heath from my time there other than he’s the most forward going person you’ve ever met. I’ve never seen someone so devoted to his team and as selfless as him given his position. It was my pleasure to meet with him and I am eternally grateful to him from now, until maybe when my business will end. But Heath and his team helped me here, and I WILL NOT GIVE UP.
All in all, when I got back, I already finished a job with more lined up throughout the week. I already have about $2,000 worth of jobs in a 5 day period, and this dream couldn’t have been achieved without Heath and his team. So again, thank you so much to everyone helping me out at Texas Pressure Washing and especially to Heath Felps, sticking with me through all my annoying questions and helping me out in my time of need. I’m looking forward to proving myself to all of you guys and building an even further relationship with Heath and his company!
Wash on brothers!

2nd Picture: Only a couple hours in, and look at what the team had achieved! Blew my mind how quickly they worked and how well they did, always treating each other with respect.
