  1. "But I honestly do not know if even I could build a business today, in this market."

    I Have started PW a about a year and a half ago. I went out and bought profesional equipment, profesional looking estimate uniform (Apearance is everything in business) and was trained by a guy who has been doing it for about 20yrs and very knowlagable with the area as far as PWing goes.

    There is no shortage of mold here and there is a lot of PW's. Mainly guys who buy cheap equipment and call them selves "me and my son PWing" but do not do quality work. I think if all the pro's look pro, act pro and present pro, and do pro work, there is no shortage business. So far its been okay.

    My $.02


  2. Do you guys all use clorox for residential mildew removal (which is what we mainly do around here) or do you use more expencive house wash? And, if I was to use more expensive detergent on residential homes, how would I be able to compete with everyone else who use the clorox?

    The prob here is there is a gazilion guys with pressure washers cleaning houses for cheap. So if I have this expensive detergent i would have to charge more and that would not get me any work.


  3. Where do you guys get your chemicals? Do I need any lisences to use particular chemicals? I have been using Clorox and Suds for a year now but I would like to branch out and get to know this business a lot better.

    Also, What sites can you recomend and any other sources you have gathered over your PW careers to help you advanse?

    Thanks for you input.
