Actually, I’ve changed course when the numbers told me to. We are at 70 residential 30 commercial. And have actually shortened up our service area.

3 full time guys + myself and am looking to add 2 more this spring.

I think the biggest reason for staying local is I did a lot of SEO to get my website ranked #1/2 and have done really well with Facebook ads and the residential leads have poured in.

Fleet washing, negative as the water filtration and all that stuff turns me away.

You definitely can’t fleet wash for every company

so i read your business plan and its amazing. I am a veteran looking to start up my own pressure washing business in Buffalo/Niagara region of NY. Where do you think I should start? Best pressure washer for the price? Why soft washing?
Thanks, Adam

Tha k your for share of. I have not even considered a business plan. Paid cash for a 6x10 enclosed trailer with 2-4gpm machines and a 12v SW system fed from a 26 gal SH and 200 gal booster tank.

I am in the Gulf Coast of Florida and still early stages. Haven’t even narrowed down a name or applied for the LLC yet.

Very informative. Thank you for sharing. I see this was posted in '18. Any updates to how your business is making out? I checked out your website and it looks well organized and educates customers with links to articles.

One thing that also causes anxiety and self doubting is that …
Once you decide you are going to try a pressure cleaning business… all of the sudden you see pressure cleaning rigs everywhere! and you never noticed them before. :smiley:

The Baader-Meinhoff phenomenon… really interesting stuff especially if you can harness it into your marketing efforts.
