We've supplied lots of people with equipment to start a patio cleaning business. In fact, one of our sales guys left us to start a business himself after selling so many start up packages. However, he did ok for about 12 months but then sold all his equipment and gave it in. His conclusion was that it was an ideal business to get into if you could add it to existing services (such as carpet cleaning etc) but it wasn't consistent enough to live from. I think part of his problem was also that he started in October and people arent very interested at that time of year.
Hello Mike, have to agree with you starting a pressure washing business in October is a bit late in the season. I only pressure wash, also have the woodcare side of things which goes hand in hand with pressure washing. I find the season can last from late January to first week of December as this year did for me, so really and you will know this anyway, it is all about marketing, advertising and being able to produce the end product. I take pressure washing very seriously, and I still belive it is an untapped market, done properly, hence you can make a season last 11 months.
