Advice needed please. I'm wanting to get a trailer mounted washer and supplies to get started with residential (eventually add commercial). This is something I'll be doing full-time, starting soon (getting laid off from my job). I pretty much need advice on reliable equipment (and which to stay away from). From what I've been reading it looks like I'll need 5+ GPM, hot water, surface cleaner, single-axle trailer, insurance, marketing, etc. My strengths are in website design, marketing, customer relations, strong work ethic. Areas of growth are hands-on experience, day-to-day workflow, taxes, etc.
I stopped by one dealer in the Houston area and found another by Googling. I've also contacted two PW companies in the Houston area and asked them about reputable dealers in our area. Both replies were almost identical: one very short sentence directing me to a couple of online stores. I have a feeling these local companies don't want me knowing anything about the local scene because I'll infringe on their business.
As far as my budget is concerned, I need to stay as low as possible. Once I'm laid off, the bi-weekly paychecks stop and I have to start generating income. I could take all the money my company is going to give me when I leave and buy top-notch equipment, but then what? I need PW equipment and I need to have funds left over to pay the mortgage. Haha
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
