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.
