Hey everyone, I’m looking to enter the industry and was wondering where everyone prefers to purchase their supplies from (pressure washing skids, surface cleaners, surfactant, etc.). Looking for a store offering competitive pricing as well as great customer service for all of the future questions I will surely have. Thank you to everyone in advance!!
*If this question has already been answered (I don’t believe it has based on my research but just in case), then please direct me to that column.
For your equipment and such I suggest pressure equipment direct, they had the best prices that I found and the pressure washing come built w unloaders, wands etc.
If you have a local pressure washer/ paint sprayer/ small engine repair dealer I’d stop in and chat with them. Most have access to or know others in all the categories you’re looking at. They should also offer maintenance and repairs. I’ve connected with other business owners and gotten jobs from guys that the owner sends my way.
I’ve learned a lot and have paid 10-15% more to buy from them as the k owl edge and network can save your bacon. As an example I had a guy get sick and I needed some help hitting a deadline, called up my guy and he had two smaller guys call me right away.
Saving money is great but a strong network and experienced partners can never be substituted for. I like CWC and WCR for the same reasons. I can call and get a product specialist on the phone who does the same actual work that I do and will talk to me about a $20 part or a $2000 WFP any day of the week.
