How to Start and Run a Pressure Washing Business (Even With Little Money)
Starting a pressure washing business can be a profitable and low-barrier entry into the world of small business ownership. With minimal startup costs, flexible hours, and high demand across residential and commercial markets, this service-based business is ideal for go-getters who enjoy working outdoors and being hands-on. Here’s your step-by-step guide to starting and running a successful pressure washing business.
Step 1: Understand the Pressure Washing Market
Pressure washing services are needed year-round in many areas, and demand comes from:
Homeowners (driveways, siding, decks, roofs)
Property managers (apartments, rentals)
Businesses (storefronts, sidewalks)
Municipalities (public buildings, parks)
Before launching, research your local market. What’s the competition like? What do they charge? Are there services you can specialize in to stand out (e.g., roof washing, graffiti removal, fleet cleaning)?
Step 2: Get the Right Equipment
You’ll need:
A commercial-grade pressure washer (gas-powered is preferred for bigger jobs)
Nozzles and attachments for different surfaces
Hoses, surface cleaners, and chemical injectors
Cleaning solutions for mold, grease, and specific surfaces
A reliable truck or trailer for transporting equipment
Tip: If you’re on a tight budget, consider renting equipment to start or buying quality used gear.
