Hi! My name is Corey. Up until recently I have worked in the banking field, but I feel it's time to venture somewhere new. I want to own and operate my own pressure washing company. Although I have done a fair bit of researching, I'm still fairly new to this whole idea and any information or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :no: BTW I'm Canadian....Go Leafs Go!:nhl_checking:
 
Welcome to PWI Corey. Glad to see ya made it. :welcome:
 
I would go out and work with a crew by volunteering your time in return for some skills. This type of work is not only specialized, but also labor intensive. You must have a good understanding of the tools and chemicals used in this industry. Attend a workshop as there are many posted on this forum. Good Luck.

Thanks everyone. I actually worked this summer/fall with a friend pressure washing. I was in the best shape of my adult life til the snow hit... lol.

Its because of these forums ive realized how much more there is to PW than 3000 psi and 180 degree water for everything. I really enjoyed the work but there seems to be so much easier/better ways to do things
 
New to the idea

Hi Corey, Let me start by saying congrats on making a gutsy move. Going into business for yourself can be very exciting and a bit scary. I have been in the PW business for over ten years now. I can honestly say that I am head over heals in love with it. I create my own hours. I make very good money and the business continues to grow. My advice is to pick an area that you want to concentrate on. For example: House Washing is a great place to start. 80 % of our revenue comes from house and building washing. The rest from commercial work.

If you can try to buy new and good equipment from the start. It will save you a lot of frustration and will keep the work flowing.
Best of luck
