WARNING Many power washers like that have interchangeable tips that can change the amount of pressure never use the red one unless you're trying to destroy something. It will strip paint off and even damage concrete and mortar and blow the face off bricks be careful wear SAFETY GLASSES. They are usually color coded black, yellow, red, green, Make sure you test them before you use them on a customers property. Always test the nozzle on an area that won't be seen. Be safe those things can be dangerous. "If you do a good job for someone they might tell 10 or 20 people and you might get 1 or 2 jobs from that. Over the next few months or years. If you do a bad job they will tell anyone that will listen for the rest of their lives and you will lose countless jobs because of it" Mortar Joe

I used to work for a guy with a power washing business but he did mostly tractor trailers. We would go to companies like coca cola, post office and places that deliver food and groceries to supermarkets we would clean hundreds of tractor trailers a day I know he made alot of money because I was friends with his son and they were definitely well off. And he used to own a deisel fuel company but sold it to start power washing so it must be worth it. Gotta respect the grind no matter how big anyone's company is tho. đ€đŸ
Fantastic. I did the same thing at age 15 but I painted chain link fencing silver. Was making up to $400 a job. I've since moved on but haven't been broke since.
You are a star, what you were saying here is absolutely perfect. Anybody willing to work to make that happen. Even more exciting you can apply what you said to a lot of different entrepreneurial endeavors. A huge congratulations and much success to you
Thatâs some great advice man!! Being self employed is some of the hardest work youâll ever do! But itâs the most rewarding and self satisfying thing youâll ever do! I enjoy giving 110% to my customers and not a time clock that will hold your future over your head!
1 problem is competition, if too many people start doing it, whoever has the deeper pockets will always win. They can undercut and force out competitors then raise prices after getting the territory to get back their losses.
No dude. Quality work wins every time. Deep pockets donât mean the work is good. I know plenty of shops that are my competitors that have deep pockets and canât compete with my quality and skill level. They hire people at cheap wages to do their work, guys like me do it ourselves and take extreme pride in doing good work. Thatâs who wins in the end every time. Be good at what you do and youâll be fine. Poor quality work loses customers and gives a bad reputation, leading to losing potential future customers.
The bigger customers will higher cheap and sometimes that means illegals or immigrants who have green cards. Residential power washing is what I see everyone doing. Can't make a living unless you have a monopoly or franchise that has all of the contracts. Yes you have to start somewhere but the big boys laugh at these guys.
Patent attorney here, I am going to give you guys some advice I have gained by working with hundreds of entrepreneurs. (This video was actually a damn near perfect explain on how to start any small business by the way) but what I am sharing will pretty pretty much exclusive to service businesses. Okay onto the advice, if you are starting a service business Step 1: Go around to businesses/houses, tell them what you do. Step 2: Inform them you are going to clean a small portion for free to demonstrate the difference it makes (if they consent of course). Step 2a: Before even talking with them try and keep an eye out for places that will be frequently seen by them, neighbors, customers, etc. Step 3: After you have determined the spot which will have the biggest and will be seen the most clean that one area. This does several things, such as proves your service is legit and shows how badly the client needs your service done. By choosing a clear and obvious spot which is frequently seen that client can not forget about you, they canât unsee the difference, and they will start to think very legitimately about giving you a chance. (I donât have time to proof read this Iâm sorry if there are any errors).
Step 1: Have money. Step 2: Have a parent who already has equipment. Step 3: Have friends who own property. Step 4: Have more money. Step 5: Hope people trust you. I say all of this as someone who does pressure washing professionally. It can be lucrative, but this is not a good list.
Also you gotta live in a place where people have enough money and care enough to pay for pressure washing. Where I live, Iâve literally never seen someone pressure washing their pavement lol

Honestly, most home owners should invest on a preasure machine and a lawn mower! It may be a bit pricey but ill save you thousands of dollars in the long run.
Iâve been doing this for years now , as well as painting +home improvement. I always have steady work and easy money to make . Itâs the big neighborhoods , once word to mouth goes around about how good the work is itâll pile up for sure .
My ex fiance did this business plan for lawn care including mowing, weedeating, and blowing off. He also did pressure washing. Went door to door for customers and upgraded equipment with the money he made and some financial help from me. Business was booming for us! It really worked! Then he relapsed & started doing meth & cheated. Point is, this business plan really works! Don't do meth though!
Big money in it if you live in the right area! I run a trucking company and weâre constantly at the port of Baltimore. Dude I used for pilot car services quit to pressure wash machinery that comes in since itâs not allowed on port grounds unless nearly spotless. 250 a pop per machine and starts and 730 and ends at 430
Oh hell, thats actually giga satisfying to do. We have pressure cleaner, but noone has ever actually used it. When it gets bit less cold out, i for sure will try it
I donât believe you need a business license to do service work like this, at least in most places in the United States. You can just go out and do it. Insurance, thatâs a different story. Thatâs good to have.
Correct when covid first hit my boy started pressure washing for ppl around the college neighborhood he rented a house in, made bank off those rich mfs. Didnât get a license insurance any of it
You need a license in Florida for any type of service business like this, and insurance is a must. Neither one costs that much, but not having them can cost you a fortune. Unlicenced contracting work in Florida is a criminal offence due to all of the scam artists that take advantage of people, and insurance is needed to C.Y.A.
They make a really cool thing for cement like that where it's got 2 pressure heads and spins and will evenly clean a surface like this. And it's much faster.
@@danwalker1415 actually the surface cleaner is in the background In that video and Iâm still trying to figure out why he didnât use it on the sidewalk
Aka a âsurface cleanerâ Yeah, Iâve never seen any actual company use a wand to do flat surfaces. I donât care if itâs a 8gpm machine.... Itâll take you forever to do it this way.
I did that years ago! When you do one house or driveway the neighbors see it and generally want their house or driveway done too. You do need to have a pressure cleaner that has a pickup hose that you can put directly into a bottle of bleach. The bleach is necessary for proper cleaning. The bleach gets mixed into the water and is greatly diluted. You cover the area with the mixed bleach and then pressure clean it off along with the mold, dirt, and stains.
I love these type of videos. Iâve been wanting to start my own thing for so long. I work on weekends doing my side hustle to build my name and portfolio but want to take it to the next level. I spray exterior, interior and cabinets
Learn what surfaces can be pressured washed. Had a brick patio I watched being done for a neighbor, guy had come by 5 or 6 times before neighbor broke and gave him the job. Guy blew all the sand out of the joints and patio was uneven a day later with voids from water erosion everywhere. Guy didnât even realize what the issue was. We had to pull up all the bricks, sand, grade and lay the patio all over again. It was not a fun weekend, but at least the bricks were clean.
This is exactly true. And different PSI on different surfaces. Some surfaces can't take the pressure and deteriorate. You don't want to be the pressure washing professional who thinks every surface is the same and doesn't know why the driveway or tiled porch is destroyed.
@@katrinashostakovich3607 Low PSI pressure washer. Like very low. 100-1500 max. Brick can take time to shown the damage too. I'm not a pro, I just have used a few different pressure washers for helping grandparents and family over the years, and I have seen family use high-powered washers that destroyed deck tile. I would ere on the side of caution in any case, do your research. I'm sure there is a lot of data about washing brick.
The beauty of America is that you can start a business for *literally* anything and if youâre better than the competition you will have great success đșđž
Not "better than the competition" but cheaper....meaning the only way to theoretically make it is to do it for less money than those before you....so just remember if you pass it on your kids will naturally make less than you did....and the license and insurance is a choke point because its not always as simple as just "getting them"
This guy didn't see the advantages he had to begin with. He got free equipment and guidance from his dad. If you are some poor kid, the stuff he talks about is not that easy to achieve.
@@vengefulspirit99 this guy could have the same attitude towards people with more help/guidance than he feels he had. That attitude gets you nowhere bro
I agree with almost everything except immediately going and getting a business license and insurance. I donât do driveways or houses I detail cars, but started 1 month ago with $700 and flipped it to 2k with minimal work hours. The biggest part is marketing your business, go to vistaprint and make 50 fliers, 100 business cards and a poster for the end of the driveway it will only cost like 70 bucks. Put the fliers on community mailboxes, business cards in your local gas station or other businesses and I promise you will atleast get 10-20 new customers. I also agree with raising your prices after youâve got some more experience and good reviews.

@@JeanGrullon the point of the video is not working for someone else, and it's targeted towards students. If a person was willing to work, they would just get a job and be done with it. It isn't viable for a student to work, run a business, and study at the same time, at that point, it's easier and less of a risk to just go to trade school
@@szewal the person should be willing to work either way. If the goal is to own a business, saying you need a dad that owns a pressure washer is just an excuse.

Bro we have a power washer like his and it just sits at our house all day đ

WARNING
Many power washers like that have interchangeable tips that can change the amount of pressure never use the red one unless you're trying to destroy something.
It will strip paint off and even damage concrete and mortar and blow the face off bricks be careful wear SAFETY GLASSES.
They are usually color coded black, yellow, red, green, Make sure you test them before you use them on a customers property.
Always test the nozzle on an area that won't be seen.
Be safe those things can be dangerous.

Wow somebody trying to teach others how to really accomplish the task of business ownership from a real world perspective!!
You love to see itđȘđȘ
how much is a business license and insurance?
I am well on my way! Just finished my first big commercial job this week! I do pressure washing, window cleaning, and awning cleanings! Love your tips and tricks!
Wow,actually good business advice online. Never thought Iâd see the day jaja
It takes so little to brighten someone else's day. Yet it can leave them feeling happy for a moment, an hour, a day, or give them a sweet memory for life. Help someone in need (esp. the elderly), tell someone you care about theyâre amazing, compliment the chef who just made your delicious dinner, post something positive or leave a kind comment on social media, even just smile at people around you... And it will make you feel pretty awesome, too. đ.

pressure washing
Iâm just here to say that I truly enjoy watching things get washed and cleaned. Especially when the one doing it is so systematic and thorough!
Wow. Its so refreshing to see REAL advice, and not scammy bullshit. Thank you for spreading knowledge and positivity man
That's great advice for any business and you managed to get it all in in and such a short format. Great job!
I used to work for a guy with a power washing business but he did mostly tractor trailers. We would go to companies like coca cola, post office and places that deliver food and groceries to supermarkets we would clean hundreds of tractor trailers a day I know he made alot of money because I was friends with his son and they were definitely well off. And he used to own a deisel fuel company but sold it to start power washing so it must be worth it. Gotta respect the grind no matter how big anyone's company is tho. đ€đŸ
Fantastic. I did the same thing at age 15 but I painted chain link fencing silver. Was making up to $400 a job. I've since moved on but haven't been broke since.
Actually good idea. I'd hire somebody to do that to my fence right now. What did you use for the paint
I hired someone to pressure wash the patio on my cafe before my opening and holy crap it looked so good after! Great idea to start this!
You are a star, what you were saying here is absolutely perfect. Anybody willing to work to make that happen. Even more exciting you can apply what you said to a lot of different entrepreneurial endeavors. A huge congratulations and much success to you
Stop acting like that's such an unheard-of concept
*willing and able
seeing the concrete nice n clean makes me feel like a proud Italian dad
You desserves all my respect.
Doing things by our own, is the Best award...
I think people just being able to see the work you do and the immediate difference is a brilliant advertisement tool.
Thatâs some great advice man!! Being self employed is some of the hardest work youâll ever do! But itâs the most rewarding and self satisfying thing youâll ever do! I enjoy giving 110% to my customers and not a time clock that will hold your future over your head!
1 problem is competition, if too many people start doing it, whoever has the deeper pockets will always win. They can undercut and force out competitors then raise prices after getting the territory to get back their losses.
Something to be aware of, but not singularly deterred by.
Just the cost of doing business. If your quality is top notch then cheapest doesnt always get the contract sometimes you win w quality
This is 1 problem in basically every business lol
No dude. Quality work wins every time. Deep pockets donât mean the work is good. I know plenty of shops that are my competitors that have deep pockets and canât compete with my quality and skill level. They hire people at cheap wages to do their work, guys like me do it ourselves and take extreme pride in doing good work. Thatâs who wins in the end every time. Be good at what you do and youâll be fine. Poor quality work loses customers and gives a bad reputation, leading to losing potential future customers.
The bigger customers will higher cheap and sometimes that means illegals or immigrants who have green cards. Residential power washing is what I see everyone doing. Can't make a living unless you have a monopoly or franchise that has all of the contracts. Yes you have to start somewhere but the big boys laugh at these guys.
"Practice on friends and family"! You heard it here, folks! Hose em down!
Patent attorney here, I am going to give you guys some advice I have gained by working with hundreds of entrepreneurs.
(This video was actually a damn near perfect explain on how to start any small business by the way) but what I am sharing will pretty pretty much exclusive to service businesses.
Okay onto the advice, if you are starting a service business
Step 1: Go around to businesses/houses, tell them what you do.
Step 2: Inform them you are going to clean a small portion for free to demonstrate the difference it makes (if they consent of course).
Step 2a: Before even talking with them try and keep an eye out for places that will be frequently seen by them, neighbors, customers, etc.
Step 3: After you have determined the spot which will have the biggest and will be seen the most clean that one area.
This does several things,
such as proves your service is legit and shows how badly the client needs your service done.
By choosing a clear and obvious spot which is frequently seen that client can not forget about you, they canât unsee the difference, and they will start to think very legitimately about giving you a chance. (I donât have time to proof read this Iâm sorry if there are any errors).
Step 1: Have money.
Step 2: Have a parent who already has equipment.
Step 3: Have friends who own property.
Step 4: Have more money.
Step 5: Hope people trust you.
I say all of this as someone who does pressure washing professionally. It can be lucrative, but this is not a good list.
I know right and I would love to do this but it wouldn't be safe for me to do it alone.
@@Atlamillia Get a gun.
Also you gotta live in a place where people have enough money and care enough to pay for pressure washing. Where I live, Iâve literally never seen someone pressure washing their pavement lol
@@EikottXD Guns don't automatically ensure safety, and in some neighborhoods a gun can get you in more trouble-- sometimes with the police moreso than other people.

Dude, ur a legend. This advice is real and will help a LOT of people get started. Kudos bro.
My dad repairs them, he owns his own business so just putting it out there that when/if you getting into this business make sure you put aside money to service or repair your equipmentsđ
đđđ If you're not already, you should be INCREDIBLY PROUD of yourself!!!!! You may not be a gigantic corporation, but what you are doing (starting a small business) is the backbone of this country!!! Keep doing what you're doing, don't let anyone or anything mess with your hustle!!!!! đđ
I will never start a pressure washing business but I will keep watching

Step one: have access to dads pressure washer.
Honestly, most home owners should invest on a preasure machine and a lawn mower! It may be a bit pricey but ill save you thousands of dollars in the long run.
Step two: have the time to do this and not make money right away
Iâve been doing this for years now , as well as painting +home improvement. I always have steady work and easy money to make . Itâs the big neighborhoods , once word to mouth goes around about how good the work is itâll pile up for sure .
how much fo you make ?
Damn dawg all of this is actually correct, there are so many step 1: buy equipment step 2: profit type vids out there
Nice young man here đđœ. He knows his stuff and is gonna be a great business owner himself one day
My ex fiance did this business plan for lawn care including mowing, weedeating, and blowing off. He also did pressure washing. Went door to door for customers and upgraded equipment with the money he made and some financial help from me. Business was booming for us! It really worked! Then he relapsed & started doing meth & cheated. Point is, this business plan really works! Don't do meth though!
Pressure washing paths/ driveways is the quick easy part, it's the cleaning up that takes the time, dirt up walls ect..
I did this, word of mouth from other customers is HUGE. Also nextdoor will be your golden ticket 100% if you have a good area for it
wow so fast⊠i just got a business license and full insurance in less than 1 minute thanks!!

I bet another good way would be to advertise to real estate agents. They can pass your info to home sellers
This is a pretty good idea.

My mother is helping me start by practising on her garden. We all need to learn and seek guidanceđ
Oh hell, thats actually giga satisfying to do. We have pressure cleaner, but noone has ever actually used it. When it gets bit less cold out, i for sure will try it
I donât believe you need a business license to do service work like this, at least in most places in the United States. You can just go out and do it. Insurance, thatâs a different story. Thatâs good to have.
Correct when covid first hit my boy started pressure washing for ppl around the college neighborhood he rented a house in, made bank off those rich mfs. Didnât get a license insurance any of it
@Welcome to Clown World! what type of insurance ?? Ik thereâs a lot of different ones
@@BagboyGrubbin A General Liability policy for starters, and then a Business Owners Policy once you get more profitable.
You need a license in Florida for any type of service business like this, and insurance is a must. Neither one costs that much, but not having them can cost you a fortune. Unlicenced contracting work in Florida is a criminal offence due to all of the scam artists that take advantage of people, and insurance is needed to C.Y.A.
You do need atleast an occupational license an liability insurance doesn't hurt to have
people want to have a nice home and nice office or store. so people who would work to clean up the garden, roof and so on, are good. this is nice.
You are the greatest person on this earth may GOD bless you for your honesty and integrity
They make a really cool thing for cement like that where it's got 2 pressure heads and spins and will evenly clean a surface like this. And it's much faster.

He uses the Surface cleaner in this video. Great tool
@@danwalker1415 actually the surface cleaner is in the background In that video and Iâm still trying to figure out why he didnât use it on the sidewalk
Aka a âsurface cleanerâ
Yeah, Iâve never seen any actual company use a wand to do flat surfaces.
I donât care if itâs a 8gpm machine....
Itâll take you forever to do it this way.
@@timmathias2677 That clip was probably before he bought one.
I did that years ago! When you do one house or driveway the neighbors see it and generally want their house or driveway done too. You do need to have a pressure cleaner that has a pickup hose that you can put directly into a bottle of bleach. The bleach is necessary for proper cleaning. The bleach gets mixed into the water and is greatly diluted. You cover the area with the mixed bleach and then pressure clean it off along with the mold, dirt, and stains.
Commenting so this gets boosted higher in comments this is a good tip
So you spray with the bleach on a low setting then crank it up when the bleach run out ?
That is a terrible idea. Chemicals are pointless to use if you have a strong enough rig. Invest in a professional rig about 3k and then talk
Finally a good advice that doesn't require me to have multimillion business ready

Learn what surfaces can be pressured washed. Had a brick patio I watched being done for a neighbor, guy had come by 5 or 6 times before neighbor broke and gave him the job. Guy blew all the sand out of the joints and patio was uneven a day later with voids from water erosion everywhere. Guy didnât even realize what the issue was. We had to pull up all the bricks, sand, grade and lay the patio all over again. It was not a fun weekend, but at least the bricks were clean.
This is exactly true. And different PSI on different surfaces. Some surfaces can't take the pressure and deteriorate. You don't want to be the pressure washing professional who thinks every surface is the same and doesn't know why the driveway or tiled porch is destroyed.
@@jon4715 so how would you pressure wash bricks, per se? Can they be?
@@katrinashostakovich3607 Low PSI pressure washer. Like very low. 100-1500 max. Brick can take time to shown the damage too. I'm not a pro, I just have used a few different pressure washers for helping grandparents and family over the years, and I have seen family use high-powered washers that destroyed deck tile.
I would ere on the side of caution in any case, do your research. I'm sure there is a lot of data about washing brick.
The beauty of America is that you can start a business for *literally* anything and if youâre better than the competition you will have great success đșđž
And you need a licence....
Not "better than the competition" but cheaper....meaning the only way to theoretically make it is to do it for less money than those before you....so just remember if you pass it on your kids will naturally make less than you did....and the license and insurance is a choke point because its not always as simple as just "getting them"
This guy didn't see the advantages he had to begin with. He got free equipment and guidance from his dad. If you are some poor kid, the stuff he talks about is not that easy to achieve.
@@vengefulspirit99 this guy could have the same attitude towards people with more help/guidance than he feels he had. That attitude gets you nowhere bro
No, that's just false, anywhere in the world. You can be the best in the world, without marketing you will fail, every time.
I agree with almost everything except immediately going and getting a business license and insurance. I donât do driveways or houses I detail cars, but started 1 month ago with $700 and flipped it to 2k with minimal work hours. The biggest part is marketing your business, go to vistaprint and make 50 fliers, 100 business cards and a poster for the end of the driveway it will only cost like 70 bucks. Put the fliers on community mailboxes, business cards in your local gas station or other businesses and I promise you will atleast get 10-20 new customers. I also agree with raising your prices after youâve got some more experience and good reviews.
This is how you start a pressure washing business with dadâs equipment
And this business can be made with any self taught skill, carpentry, plumbing, and handymen work! Great video!
