Pressure Washing Service

Pressure washing services clean exterior surfaces - houses, driveways, sidewalks, decks, fences, commercial buildings, and parking lots using high-pressure water equipment.

You invest in commercial pressure washer(s), transportation, and marketing, then book jobs and deliver results.

Pricing typically charges by square footage, job size, or hourly ($150-400 per job for residential, more for commercial).

Success requires understanding proper techniques for different surfaces (wood decks need softer pressure than concrete), chemical knowledge for tough stains, and safety practices.

Startup costs are minimal compared to many businesses - commercial pressure washer ($500-3,000), hoses, nozzles, chemicals, and transportation.

Operating costs include fuel, water (sometimes), chemicals, and equipment maintenance.

The work is straightforward but physically active.

Revenue potential grows with efficiency - experienced operators complete residential jobs in 2-4 hours.

Many successful operators run multiple crews maximizing equipment usage.

Marketing works through before/after photos on social media, door hangers, local Facebook ads, and seasonal campaigns.

Seasonality affects revenue in cold climates but year-round in warm areas.

Additional services include deck staining, gutter cleaning, and window washing.

The business can start part-time and scale to full-time with multiple crews.
