7 Things I wish I knew Before starting a Pressure Washing Business 

I have my sole prop and about to get insurance but I do have a 4gpm. Only doing this part time for now should that suffice? Or why do I need LLC

@@rich2209 no you want an LLC because if you cause damage to the property and let's say it's $20,000 to fix your damage. They can come for your personal & business assets in Court vs just your business assets if you have an LLC. It stands for (Limited LIABILITY company). You can go start a new LLC every day if you want. But it's best to avoid all of that by having insurance. Best of luck

@@BJMolette I see, best to get LLC and insurance instead of Sole Prop and insurance alone. Got it! Thanks!

S-Corp instead of LLC would be better once you’re making good money. Saves you thousands in taxes…just sayin

@@brianperry6899 would that go for every type of business?

Lol. Eloquently stated

What type of nossle would you perfer for cars?

What pressure washer would you recommend ?

Put God first amen brother!

Amen God first thank you Jesus Christ!

What's ur email brother

Good to hear 💯 Check out my most recent video

You are an AMAZING aunt. God bless

Awesome! 💯

How's it going? I'm going through a rough spot with work, and for years I've considered starting this business.. so I'm really considering it now

@-Dynamite great. I started the business officially on September 1 of 2022. April 12th, 2023, I left my government job with the expectation to make about 2-4k a month. I've consistently done 10k+ a month in sales with an average of about 8.5k profit.

​ @parker10551 That is awesome man. Firstly, huge congrats to you. Whatever you're doing, all that effort.. I'm glad to hear it's being rewarded. I'm thinking of getting started with pressure washing, but not sure how it will intertwine with my life. I'm a real estate agent, and that business has been tough for me. I'm new, and my commission splits are pretty aggressive. So even when I do get a lead to close, my payout is not enough to feel like it was worth it. I joined this business knowing this is how it would be at the start, but now that I'm in the middle of it.. it's sucky to be putting all this effort for almost nothing in return. I don't know if I'm just going through a rough spot, or if this is how it will continue to be and I need to pick up work elsewhere (powerwashing?) It's a big decision. Fortunately I have the capital to make a pretty large investment, but like any beginner I don't want to purchase too much and then not have it work out. I also currently drive a Honda Civic, so I imagine I'd need another vehicle with more towing capacity. Maybe not right away, but pretty soon into it

@@-Dynamite Alright... I'll start with this.. this is what worked for me, and I am just some stranger on youtube so i don't know your market or location... WIth that being said I started with a little jeep patriot (they are CHEAP, but good little cars if you get the CV6sp tranny..anyways). I threw a $250 tow package on it and I bought a pressure washing trailer to tow along behind it for about $4,800 from websturant online.. However. Just starting, if you can get a vehicle (a small truck probably), you can buy a wheelable pressure washer and chem, hoses, tips etc for less than $1.25k. There are a TON of related videos on getting started available on youtube. Secondly, KNOWLEDGE KNOWLEDGE KNOWLEDGE! Please understand when applying Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) that it can be dangerous to your health, the shrubbery, and the customer's homes. Understand the difference in pressure washers and understand why GPM is a major factor. Again, RU-vid is your best friend. Lastly, ask yourself some questions.. Do I want to make this a business? Do I want to just make enough to be comfortable? What is my short and long term goals? Answer them honestly and start the ground work. Make a logo, file for an LLC (easy and cheap doing it yourself, again youtube your state). Start throwing 3$ a day at marketing or get some door hangers from vistaprint. Get your name out there, you have an advantage like myself. I worked as a postal worker and knew everyone and people trusted me. Don't be afraid to use those connections. No conflict of interest if you are cleaning and your company is selling. Actually would help boost sales numbers as according to Time Magazine when having your home and windows cleaned it can have a return of 240%-500%. I hope this helps you in some way. I worked 6 days a week at my gov job with a wife being full time student in Nursing School and a 2 (now 3) Y/O in tow. Keep strong and best of luck, sir.

Just more research…there’s also ebooks and course that are useful like my own as well as others

Appreciate that! I’ll actually be starting a separate travel Channel 💯

I recently replaced my pump for 400 ,they ok man

Thank you 💯

Shoot me an email. It’s in the description 💯

I love seeing the teenagers who are ready for entrepreneurship! Much success to you! You got this!!!

The link for the ebook is the very first one in the description. When I just clicked it it worked fine for me. That’s weird

I checked again and it worked this time it was probably my phone

@ZayWonderJournal Be honest is this a man's job?

@@iselamartinez5076 I was a navy diver years ago, i worked with good female navy divers. I am also a retired firefighter, some of the best people and capable firefighters I knew and worked with were women. My 2 cents don't let other people set your limitations, if you want to operate a pressure washing business go for it. You be the person in charge of you ! You be the person that decides if you are successful or not.

Check the description again, it’s been added 💯

Nah a 4 is fine

Your gonna wanna use F9 barc for rust

Rustaid outdoor best out there home depot

I avoid electric outlets and anything like that, I go around and if need it I put a bit of quick pressure but nothing crazy , so far not one problem

Go directly to 6figurepressurewashing.com 💯

Ryobi or Simpson are great starter pressure washers. Just make sure you get the gas one! I got a combo for under $450 with free shipping. Later you can upgrade. I hope this helps. Much success

Shoot me a dm on Ig @me.zayy

@@ZayWonderJournal shot you a Dm

link is in the description

Lol that’s ok. I disagreed to when I first started then as I upgraded I realized you’re not running a professional business with anything less than a 4gpm. With that being said though we all gotta start somewhere.

@@ZayWonderJournal facts. but i get what you mean. i started with a 2.5 because i didnt know much and then when i start gettin my experience and knowledge up, im like damn, i shouldve got a 4gpm. lol. u live and you learn

What’s your point?

That’s very subjective. I’ve learned a lot from both

“ discouraging “ 😂 stfu

@@ZayWonderJournalppl don’t get that you’re talking about being a professional - of course, you could start w a water gun super soaker 3000, but should you still be pressure washing?

Not chlorine. Know the difference in Sodium Hypochlorite and Chlorine

Lol almost nothing

That’s the best way to learn.

lol everything starts at unknown then you learn

I have one just didn’t use it

Sounds fine to me.

@@ericsparks get over it…you act like you’re forced to buy it 😂
