Researching the industry...

[hogman 14]

I'm interested in what the residential pressure washing industry is like in North East Ohio. Is the market saturated with pressure washers? Is there year round income in the residential sector of the market? Is there anyone between Canton and Cleveland willing to let me ride along for a few days and learn about the industry? Thanks.

I dont know the market there, but there is not likely to be year round work in residential pressure washing in ohio. You could branch into gutter cleaning to fill in some gaps.........but there is Jan and feb and at least the first half of March that residential washing will be slow.

Commercial work, such as fleet washing and flatwork (sidewalks) would smooth things out for you, but may require a hot water washer (more $$).

Thanks for the reply Mike. I figured it probably wouldn't be year round work. Your suggestions are helpful. I'm guessing PA is the same. Any suggestions from you or others on what to research concerning pressure washing? What's the best way to test the market? Any areas of the business you would suggest avoiding? A lot of the past threads have been extremely helpful in the process. Thanks.
