Have you considered starting a small business doing pressure washing? If so you will be glad to know that there is a lot of dirt out there. In fact they say that God made dirt on the first day and ever since then it has been getting all over anything. Having been in the pressure washing business, I thank God. If you get into the pressure washing business you will most likely have to consider what prices you will charge the customers. I think the prices on www.Dcs1.com are a good start, especially for rural areas. Many people go online to take to other independent operators. I believe that the Pressure Washer Zone forum boards are good for many things, especially a reality check. I had participated on those along time ago and learned a lot. Eventually I got tired of the competitive bickering and name-calling was too time consuming for me and we just got too busy. But if you can stand it, well, you sure will get a lot of information that way. Additionally here are some forum boards, which are more informational only to read up on to get started. Depending on what kind of pressure washing you will be doing. For instance if you are going to clean vehicles, these might help you too: www.TruckWashGuy.com/truckbbs www.CarWashGuys.com/carwashbbs www.DetailGuys.com/detailbbs Read those first. Then decide how you are going to reclaim your wash water? And which line of cleaners you plan on using and if you are going to be using a two-step or three step wash process? There is a lot to learn if you are going to start a pressure washing business, but this will be a good start for you. Think on this in 2006. |
