Pressure washing is one of the most accessible service businesses to start. Here’s the roadmap.
1. Choose Your Services
Start with residential house washing, driveways, and decks, then expand into roofs, commercial flatwork, and fleet washing.
2. Make It Official
Register your business (many choose an LLC), get an EIN, open a business bank account, and check local licensing requirements.
3. Get Insured
General liability insurance is a must. It protects you and helps you win commercial and HOA work.
4. Buy the Right Equipment
A reliable gas pressure washer (4 GPM+), surface cleaner, hoses, nozzles, and a soft wash setup will cover most jobs.
5. Set Your Prices
Price by square footage or by job type, and know your minimum job price before you quote.
6. Market Locally
Set up a Google Business Profile, hand out door hangers, post before-and-after photos, and ask every customer for a review.
