One of the most important sections of our Pressure Washing Business software is the “Estimating & Bidding” chapters. Estimating and Bidding can be very difficult concepts to master for many pressure washing and power washing business owners. Without proper estimating skills by the business owner, money is lost by improper pricing strategies.

If you are new to the Pressure Washing Business, you might find pricing a difficult process. Though you are in business to make money, you probably find that customers often try to talk you down on your price and you often make less money for your work.

When we started our business in 1992, we found that pricing was a difficult challenge. We lowered our prices to gain customers. We felt that we had to compete with our competition by offering lower prices. While our customer list grew rapidly, our profits were much less than they should have been because we didn’t understand how to properly price our services.

Proper Pricing Helps Us All

Our Pressure Washing Business software package was designed with a heavy emphasis on bidding and estimating. Proper pricing is an important concept to learn if you want to make great money in the pressure washing industry. Our goal is to help the entire pressure washing industry. Getting rid of “lowball” prices helps us all make more money and do better jobs for our customers.

In addition the the bidding and estimating tutorials included with the package, we have also developed very useful Pressure Washing Estimating Software. Helps you price your work on a job-by-job basis. Developing an effective pricing strategy means that you never have to lose money again by giving lowball prices.

The Pressure Washing Business course is on sale right now through our main website. It is a very affordable option if you are new to the business and want to run a successful and profitable Pressure Washing operation.

Starting A Pressure Washing Business – Summer 2010

Mid-summer is upon us. It is a dry, dusty time of year. Though the days are hot, it is a great time of year if you are thinking about starting a pressure washing (power cleaning) business.

“So, why is now a good time to start power washing?” We want to quickly discuss three reasons why you should get started with your business now to make the most money you can in 2010.

1) Long, hot days allow for optimal drying time of certain materials. Operating a pressure washing business means you will be washing different kinds of surfaces that require special care and handling. Certain porous surfaces and/or surfaces that require complete drying prior sealants or other care should be washed this time of year. Longer days and hotter temperatures make summer the perfect time of year to clean these surfaces.

2) Water restrictions in some communities. At first glance, you might think water restrictions are bad for a pressure washing company. In many instances, the reverse is actually true. Proper pressure washing techniques allow a company to do more work with less water that cleaning with not pressure water application. Buildings must be cleaned, fleets must be washed, and other surfaces must be maintained this time of year. If a pressure washing business owner can show community leaders that they can do the work with minimal water use, they are often given water use waivers which allow them to power wash even when their customers find themselves with restricted water rights. Once such method of demonstrating proper water use is filling your tank during off-peak hours.
Whether or not your community has water restrictions, employing environmentally sensitive methods of water use is a great idea for your company and will garner you lots of good publicity and gain you many customers.

3) Prepare for Autumn and early Winter. Late Autumn is a busy time of year for many pressure washing companies. Customers want surfaces cleaned and maintained before heavy winter weather sets in. Starting your business during mid-summer and late summer means you will have time to build your business and submit bids on cleaning jobs that will be coming up later this year. There are plenty of power cleaning jobs during July and August and getting a jump on your competition is vital if you want to be taken seriously for those pressure washing contracts that will be let out to bid during September and October.

If you have ever wanted to make money pressure washing or if your current pressure washing company needs a boost in customers and revenue, mid-summer is a perfect time to take your business to the next level.

We have developed a business course that is designed to help you take your pressure washing business to the next level by making more money and gaining better (more profitable) customers. This business package also includes the “Contract Bidding Tutorial” and the “Estimating Software.” These two tool will be a HUGE benefit to your company and alone are well worth the cost of the entire package.
