- With its low start-up costs and huge profit potential, a pressure washing business can be a great investment for first-time entrepreneurs. Just ask Stephen Rogers-his power washing business, NW Softwash, is bringing in more than $120K each month, and it didn’t even take him to 2 years to get there.
Stephen was only 19 when he started NW Softwash, and had limited financial resources, starting a pressure washing business with just $1,500. We’ll learn how he grew that into the 6-figure monthly revenue the business earns today, and how a new business owner should spend his start-up funds, from the necessary tools and equipment for pressure washing to which advertising methods give the best bang for your buck.
One of Stephen’s goals with NW Softwash was to reach the point he could step back from the day-to-day operations. He started building a team just a few months after opening and was fully “off the truck” by the end of his first year. We’ll get his insights on how to identify and hire reliable employees and what management techniques and business processes he used to shift to a more hands-off owner role.
While a strong team is important for success, no business can grow without customers. We’ll get Stephen’s tips for building a reputation as a new power washing business and how he keeps new customers coming in (and makes sure his current customers keep coming back).
Anyone wondering how to start a pressure washing business will definitely want to check out this video! You can learn more about NW Softwash online at nwsoftwash.com/.

Is there a difference in pressure washing machines and soft washing machines?
Great interview Stephen and UpFlip! I am impressed with your enthusiasm, drive and professionalism. Good tips and tricks for the new business owner. Excellent Job Stephen
Very impressed with Stephens confidence, humility, and genuine desire to serve and do great work for his clients! 🙂
How does one apply to be featured on the upflip channel?
@@eastwes92 Email to media@upflip.com ;)
As an owner of a window cleaning company myself this kid has his ducks in a row and is absolutely killing it!
He is!!
I live in NYC, can you please help me about the list of chemical needed for window (home/business) cleaning 🧼 ? Also some wholesale companies…
i agree,very impressive for his second year.
but he is also a very addorable boy to knocking on doors of middleclass/rich housewifes
@@moosshabaz90 Dude, when you're not even capable or to damn lazy to find chemicals and tools for a cleaning busines, then your not suitable to start your own busines!
No one believed that my 500 hours of power wash simulator play time would ever pay off. Who's laughing now?
Steam?
Did you make any money on the simulator?
@@jayceervin7418 it's like going to university. He may not be making any money now... but in 5 years, you'll wish you put 500 hours into power wash simulator.
Is this Markipliar’s secret account? Lol
My son has the same thoughts!
I remember watching him when he started his pressure washing business......he started with a $300 Honda pressure washer n a dewalt surface cleaner!!
Fair play to him 👏
We're very proud of him!
Stephen is putting us other business owners to shame with his work ethic! Well done man.
What type of business do you run? :)
I’m at work right now making my $20 an hour. About to quit and start my own business. Been cutting 10 yard a month since I was 9 years old and I don’t know why I never started my own business but here I come
@@wescald How did it go?
@@j.s.2094 instant bankruptcy
@@wescald I am sorry to hear that but hey, Ford tried like 10 companies previous to Fort Motors and Disney was broke many years trying to convince investors that people will like the idea of watching cartoons.
One thing I love about this channel is that the business owners are that confident in their business that they don't mind encouraging others that could potentially be their competitors.
Another thing about this channel, that I absolutely love, is that you reply to every comment.
Kudos to you.
I'm not even in America, I'm just an Aussie watching from Asia.....but I love the content....super interesting and yes, the American dream is still there and attainable.
We really appreciate all the love Ulbre. 😀Your words are truly amazing. We love interacting in the comments. Are you new to the channel?
I thought Aussie was Australian 😅
EXACTLY! That's when you know your doing good stuff!!!
Yes!!! They really share a lot!
I guess a smart owner realizes that the youtube is a great public PR tool for growing business.
A Well raised gentleman. Instead of wasting his time on social media, he is earning a living through hardwork. Kudos to his parents for raising such a well mannered hardworking man
We couldn't agree more! Such an inspiration for the younger generation. Hope you also watch our other content and find value in them. Any business you want to see next? ☺️
He wasn't holding back in sharing the tips and secrets, this man deserves all the success he has and more.
He deserves all the success he has achieved and more. ❤ Thank you for the comment.
Another good tip for those who dont have the money to buy your equipment try to apply at a pressure washing company that way not only are you saving for your own tools but gaining the experience and knowledge on how to use the tools and what can make it easier to clean and how to know how to price the jobs
thats a good tip
@@richardwise350 yea hopefully it helps someone that way they can know what machines/products to avoid when starting up
That’s what I’ve been doing with lawn care the past 3 years, taking the leap this spring and starting my own gig! Good luck to the young entrepreneurs out there.
@@purefishigan6331 yes sir im still a bigginer but i got my self 2 machines so me and my brother starting off trying to get as many repeat customers that way i can put on sum employess on those jobs while i go and see what other businesses i can get my feet wet in
This kid is sharp and a go getter but there is always the rub…..daddy’s company or money etc. In his case his brother was already doing something similar. Id very curious to know mommy and daddy’s role in all of this. Or brother’s.
Stephen's collective mentality he puts on his staff is impressive! Where if one team finishes early they go help others finish. In a trusted environment, that's the way to thrive! Nice to hear it applied in this manner, ty :D
We love that too!
I would like to have heard him talk about his insurance costs. Liability insurance rates have been skyrocketing. Any business that involves roof work and pressure washing seems to be on their radar. Insurers are always looking for business to rape with premiums. In my construction business they always ask if i do pressure washing or own a chainsaw. I think this business is marked for high rates by insurers. At least here in NY insurers are wanting a percentage of your gross. Its like having a partner that makes money even you broke even that year.
Every question that I ever had about how to start at business and what it takes is right here free of charge. Thank you so much🤙
Glad it was helpful Sheadon!
Love the owner’s disposition and attitude. He has a magnetism and dedication to not only his customers but to his employees as well. Great video UpFlip.
Stephen you're an inspiration and a true leader! Value packed interview... Continued success, prayers and blessings :)
This dudes one hell of a boss. I really respect the fact he makes sure everyone’s done at a good time. No men left behind. That’s a huge problem with the company I currently work for. Hats off mate.
Stop crying and build your own
This kid knows his stuff, It refreshing to see someone young hustling and getting out there. Great video and great job Stephen!
We appreciate that Joseph. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching. 😁 Yes, he is a very bright young man. Would you ever consider getting into a business such as this?
@@UpFlip I would. Just curious, what is the net profit on that $120K a month? Thank you for sharing
@@vladshults5395 He said 25-30 profit margin. So about 30k-36k monthly. Not bad at all.
This channel is amazing. So glad I came across these videos, huge thank you for putting this out there!
Wow, this is the best owner until now, he was really detailed, it just shows how confident he is about his job, very helpful too. His attitude was so wonderful, he makes you feel he really knows what his doing.
Steven has a very bright future and is an impressive entrepreneur to say the least at such a young age.
I find it interesting how this is a "less aggressive" form of cleaning as he stands in front of a chemical tub with the word CORROSIVE in all caps stamped on it
@@derek723 it's to clean a house not a soft drink...
@@derek723 It gets heavily diluted with water before leaving the wand. You can damage some surfaces with chemicals but you're even more likely to damage surfaces with a high PSI
Soft wash and Pressure washers typically don’t leave the chemicals on a surface for extremely long periods of time so that it settles and damages surfaces. The chemicals are usually only on a surface 10-30 minutes (nasty, oily, stained concrete is longer) and then they rinse it. They also pre-wet grass and plants and flush them after with clean water to prevent the chemicals from damaging them. You also have some kinds of vinyl siding where the mfg warranty says ‘no bleach for the first 5 years’ and they can use a soap or biodegradeable eco friendly cleaner like they sell at Lowe’s instead of heavier chemicals. Also, you can mix heavier chemicals like bleach to a lower ratio to where it is even less potential to ever harm a surface-like a hot mix of bleach for a nasty commercial concrete might be 8-15% but they can run a low 2-4% bleach mix for aged vinyl or a wood fence. Concrete require heavier bleach ratios.
One of the best stories I've seen for soft washing. I'm one year in and I wish this was out when I started because I made most of those mistakes lol. Nicely done and super value-adding!
By chance do you have another example of a mistake you learned from that Stephen didn't have/mention? I'm super interested following in your guys' footsteps. Did you buy the same start up equipment Stephen mentioned when asked?
Glad it was helpful Jimmy! Do keep us updated on your business journey.
Mistakes are great learning opportunities. Push forward and much success to you
I love this video gave me more motivation when he said I started of with 2k and made my way up that’s pure love on his business… can’t wait to start my soft pressure business
You go Mauricio!! We're very excited for you!
The CEO handled himself respectfully and is straight killing it!
Paul. Another great video with significant content; thank you. Here's my Pro Tip: advertise to the immediate neighborhood while serving a customer's home. Either knock doors, or ad wrap your service vehicle, or install temporary yard signage, or any combination of those. If your primary customer allows it, leave the yard sign up for a few days and follow up with a thank-you gift. - Steve, SLC Utah
Great marketing advice Steven. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely the best interview that you guys have done so far! This owner has confidence in his brand and energy that is contagious. I plan to start my pressure washing business early next year so I've been watching a ton of these types of videos for about a year now and this one took the cake. It easy to see why he is so successful. Excellent stuff right here!
Glad you enjoyed it Yoked! Stephen is an incredible young business talent and a great person to draw inspiration and motivation from.
I am as well good luck we got this
@@UpFlip For sure! I'm gonna follow his journey, watch his business grow and implement some of his business techniques into my company for sure
@@jimmyde5935 Yes sir!
Self employment is where its at!
120,000 monthly revenue with 30,000 monthly overhead and 20% margins?
Then 11 employees and only 3 trucks?
I’ve been in this business a long time and while these gross numbers are very doable, his numbers aren’t adding up at all!!
Payroll is 60-75k per month before his salary. He does breakeven , at 85k per month. The business seems to be growing based on cashflow(the most important factor to keep the business growing) not based on profit on paper. He might get cash injections from Family. Rcommendation , social media is 10% partner of this business, I recommend buying social media stocks today.
@@stephrogers you can calculate fixed, variable and consumables however you’d like. I thought you included payroll in that number during the interview but if not, then these numbers are even crazier. If you’re not including payroll or consumables and that $30,000 a month is strictly fixed expenses then somethings way off. Only way I could see that being possible is if you’re paying crazy high rates for SEO services and lead generation.
@@kylemarsun the numbers given are averages, so fluctuations are already accounted for. That’s the whole point of averages.
Really glad I watched this video. Legit gave me some extra confidence going into this business venture
Live in the PNW and am ready to jump in to this. I see the scalability and feel like I have the mindset to see it through. My wife is an amazing talent as well and with her by my side we will crush it !
Hit me up I also am in the pnw
@@dudemr13 nah i am
This guy started most answers with "yeah!" and put his know how with "so,". You can't go wrong with him and end up a happy man. That makes hims successful in his business.
“Yea, great question! So..” his responses were very enthusiastic and he seems like a real down to earth guy
@@eriv4735 Yeah, so its makes us feel easy and light.
This is one of my favorite channels. Always a good day when you post. 🙌
Thanks for all the support Scr!
This guy is onto something here. Really interesting interview, especially for someone like me who is contemplating starting his own business.
We're glad you found value in our video Matt! Are you starting your own business as well?
@@UpFlip I haven’t started anything. it’s still just an idea at this point.
Awesome guy and a great video. I believe Stephan IS the brand. He's very articulate and always compliments the host. I'd bet the farm that he treats his customers and employees the same way. People buy from people before they buy from brands. So when the people define the brand the way Stephen defines his brand, its a sure fire recipe for success. Kudos to both Stephen and the host for a job well done!
Great points and insights Lawrence. Thanks for sharing.
@@stephrogers dude you're goated
this is the smartest and most mature 21 year old in this generation. Most 21 year olds in this generation are still playing videos games in their mommas house. Most of them don’t even have a drivers license and still ask momma to drop them off at friends house.
Kudos to this young man, he’s such a smart and mature gentleman, he’ll be successful in anything he does!!!
He really is!
Already married as well! So very mature and definitely has had some good family support as well
Stay mad boomer
This is a great interview. So many golden nuggets of info. Smart young man right here!
Thanks! We loved interviewing Stephen!
Congrats brother! Hope you reach your goals! Thank you for sharing.
I'm in the process of starting my own company and this has been MONEY Knowledge and insight. Muchos Thank You!
Greeting from GA 🍑
Great job Stephen! This video should not only be an inspiration for young adults in the U.S. but people all over the world! 👍🏿👍🏿
Yes it should Marqueso! Thanks for supporting the channel.
@@UpFlip You're very welcome! The content on this channel gives people the tools to become successful. That's why I support this channel!
Great interview and very informative
Im from the UK and the video has come to our shores, definitely helped me out!! I've taken note and shall apply it in to my new business. 🤙
I truly was inspired by Steven in his video! Wishing I would have started my company at a young age. This young man is going to go far in this industry. I'm glad to be apart of the future of softwash and power wash community.
I’m looking into it as for me not being so young. What was your start up cost?
What a great kid, I wish I was doing this kind of stuff with my life when I was his age lol. What an inspiration
He is incredible! So many kids could learn from him. What was your favorite part?
Alot of good info. Props to this young man for elaborating on the do's and don'ts @ startup as that is probably the most confusing time for anyone.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate you and your comment.
Respect young man that's awesome keep on keeping on
Very very brilliant young man. top notch interview this was!. so elaborative and informative. looking forward to starting my own cleaning company
Best of luck!
@@UpFlip Dear upflip, I want to ask a question. how do people dealing in the cleaning business sort the issue of water? do they come with their own water? or they use water from the homes they go to clean?
Wow, I'm not too into pressure washing, but this is really cool. My goal is too start a general contracting business by 21, and grow my company to match the numbers he's putting up. Huge goal, but I think its possible. Keep up the good work Steven! Pure inspiration right here.
You can do it Adam!
Focus on a service or a couple services
I’m Only 24, adversity was the biggest things in my life I got my business moving in Miami , this guy really boosted the vision , would like to thank you one day in person my Brudda !
How i wish i could be part of this organization. Pressure washer was a huge part of my daily task as a Housekeeping. it easily clean all surfaces.
Steven is amazing how he became successful in two years’ time. I love seeing this.
It's great to hear how he's using Facebook and Instagram for his business. I'm sure with a little time he's going to be using Tik-Tok for sure.
I love how he always has a team mindset. Definitely a great way to run a company.
We're glad you ejoyed Lamar! We appreciate your support :)
Freaking beast! Awesome to see another young entrepreneur killing it
Indeed! Are you an entreprenuer as well?
Great compilation of questions… You literally asked everything a new entrepreneur would want to know the answers of. Thanks Upflip….
You're welcome Just Relax. We're happy the information is helpful. 😀We want to see everyone living out their dreams and achieving their business goals. Would you ever start a business in this industry?
I believe I saw his youtube channel over a year ago about power washing a old truck. This is crazy growth he has had!
Stephen is on his way to great success!
This is awesome! Great interview! Congrats on all your success Stephen!
Stephen is a true business inspiration!
This guy is an inspiration for the entrepreneur!!
He really is!
Yeah that’s a great question,
All joking aside total kudos to this guy glad he got his game on I used to live in Washington state and watching this video definitely makes me miss that area but definitely a great business model thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed!
This video is very inspiring, this the kind of videos I need to start my own , thanks for share your knowledge.
I like how he said he already thought of that but waited till it was mentioned true student
Wow you guys went into details !! invaluable information thank you so much guys !
Glad you liked it Negua!
Super glad your interviewed Stephen. I watched his beginning videos and I was wondering what he was doing now. Good inspiration. After the person you interviewed in Burien and I commented about starting pressure Washington. I have started the company and waiting for surety bond and insurance to finalize. Started doing bids and only a couple now to start. Really could use a fast condo about ad space on Facebook. That would be dope for now I'm using the community groups and buy sell trades.
Best of luck in your new pressure washing business Worth. Do keep us updated on your journey as an entrepreneur.
Thanks guys I hope it works out.
Just found the channel. Great, entertaining concepts that motivate and highlight the important of responsibility, creativity, and imparting value for that paycheck!
We're glad you've been enjoying our content! What has been your favorite video?
@@UpFlip I really meant "just," haha. This was the first one I've seen from your channel and I saw it right before I left a comment. It appeared apparently at random in my recommended videos. I'll be checking out more soon, though.
To Steven: Amazing entrepreneur start-up... I wish you Extreme success in everything that you do. And, I totally agree: branding & apparel sets a professional apart from the novice, and helps reassure the customer in your service. Having your phone number on the tailgate of your truck will also help you get more clients.
It's Stephen not Steven, do you not see his name on the shirt?
@@teslacybertruck750 Yup realized that his name is Stephen and was wondering why the interviewer was calling him Steven
Super interesting! Seems like a great guy, wish you all they best. I’ll be starting my company hopefully next year 🙏
We wish you the best with your business! Keep us updated :)
Thanks for doing this. Can you briefly comment on the chemicals you use and safety for employees and the property...staining siding, damaging plants etc... thanks for doing this!!
This was a great interview, thanks for making it.
this motivates me even today cause I started my business a week ago and my goal is 1.2k a month and this just shows me that my parent's don't know how much people really work hard and how much they make a month and year great motivation because my parents don't really believe in me.TY
Landscape lighting would be a great video! Always been interested in that.
We will add it to the production "to do" list Forecastle!
UpFlip what about a mobile welding company! Would be interested to see that
I've watched this video 100 times already. super inspiring
Great video and I love Stephan’s energy . Thanks for sharing
Uplift needs to know the difference: average sales per month, and anualized sales stated. Anualized yearly sales mean that they take the highest month in sales and then is multiplied by 12 even if sales are zero the rest of the year( anualizing is not lying in finance, it is just playing with numbers and potential sales). This business is not doing 1,440,00 per year. Buyer be aware, Careful when buying a business based on Anualized sales or revenue.
Thank you for your feedback. We'll try to be more specific in our future videos regarding this.
A more detailed breakdown of the equipment would be helpful such as, chemicals used different types of hoses and nozzles, and where to get these specialized tools cheap
We'll be sure to include those questions in the next pressure washing business we interview! :)
I think the interview is aimed at anyone starting a business, any field can take inspiration from this video.
Can't give away all the secrets damn LA
amazing to see such a young man already being so professional and doing so well in the business. Congratulations, my guy!!!
@thaisamaral7772 Glad you enjoyed the video!
Talking about starting from the bottom now we are here!!! Great job bro.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate you.
Hell yeah! That’s crazy! Good stuff!
We appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching Wrestling!
This guy gets it. Man he's where I want to be. My marketing is weak a lot of it is fear honestly.
You got this bro 😎
It won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Frederick Ried
We believe in you J! You got this :)
@@UpFlip Word. Over a year in for myself. Walked off of good job as sole income for our family. I wash and build fences. Made over 60k 2020 on the side before I quit it's out there for sure! You guys have great content.
The best thing about social media is it can make you.
The worst part is it can break you.
Great interview. Stephen is killing it. Total professional!
Not to hate on the guy, he actually inspires me a lot as an entrepreneur, but he literally starts all of his responses with “Yeah!..”
Great Question...
He’s a positive dude.
@@zackmckenzie3582 yeah Ik.. I’m not taking away from the fact that he’s a positive and confident guy. What I’m saying is that It’s the same thing when talking in a presentation and using “um” or “like”
This guy will do even better with some grey around the temples. Most white collar men might be uneasy having their wives alone at home with a pool boy type.
It really is extremely annoying lol
I have to say... those are some great questions!
ok, real question: do you enjoy powerwashing/softwashing??? Like, do YOU enjoy picking up the tools, climbing onto the roofs and doing the labor? or can the function be replaced with ANYTHING and you would still be there running the business side?
The issue I have is I enjoy the job, not the business. I am not a business person, I am not an accountant, I am not an HR department, I am not a scheduler, I am not payroll. I enjoy using the tools and running the blaster, the tractor, the trailer, driving the truck.... DOING the work, not managing the work. sure, hiring six teams to go out and do the work makes a nice profit and that really is the goal of any small business, but my desire and excitment does not live in the office pushing spreadhseets and answering phones.
has anyone built up a business and hired a management team just so they could keep doing the labor part and still collect the "owners" paycheck?
I'm pretty sure, you can hire people for everything you said. Hire an accountant etc.
No, you can not generate decent revenue if you're only carrying out laborious tasks as a tech. To see any growth you will need to wear all the hats in the beginning years. Sales, Marketing, Ordering, Inventory, Maintenance, Repair, Operations, Payroll, Accounting the list goes on. As sales grow you can then hire team members and delegate tasks but you can't start hiring until you're making real money and that will only come from the other tasks you did that didn't involve labor
A lot of great questions, love it when a young one work hard and become successful!
We agree!
this guy is so on point. sick vid great effort
You can tell this is actually his father’s business. But great video for sure. I love this show. Really respect newer business owner’s and especially when they struggle opposed to spoon fed.
What makes you think it's his father's business??
@@Mixwell1983 because his father is a multi millionaire
Thank you for all the great information and recommendations. It be ideal if we can get some of the information regarding what chemicals he uses for the pressure washing.
Hopefully Stephen can comment on that.
Whoa ,don't give away too much information, we might learn something we can use.
Perfect questions perfectly answered this is everything I needed to know and see thank you , great job In all aspects 10/10
We appreciate that Dillion. 😀Its great to hear we are on the right track. Are there any other types of business you'd like to see featured?
Great Video, great attitude. Sales is the key! I'm off to post my offer in Facebook groups!!
That's great to hear John! Keep us updated :)
Love this video. My dads had a painting business for 27 years and I’ve been working it for 4 years now and I’ve been looking for the best ways to grow the business more. I guess my question is how do you find employees and good employees at that?
Hello! In a previous video of ours we asked the interviewee that question, he said he simply got his employees from social media and that you want to find employees who are passionate about working this job and will enjoy it. Good luck growing your dad's painting business!
Treat them right, pay them well, and keep em busy. Hard to keep good workers if you dont do those things.
@@UpFlip thanks so much!
@@timmysaradeth921 I’ve got a good crew of 6 at the moment but we’re like booked 3 months out with work and I can’t seem to find anymore people that are good and want to work
@@shotseverlasting772 you may be looking to narrow to hire. Use online platforms and local groups to find employees
America is truly a land of opportunities. I see a ton of videos of ventures started by young men like him and feel that if you have the drive, your barrier to success is lower than most of the other people living on this planet. I may be wrong here but it's not everyday that you hear someone from an emerging or third world country getting the taste for success this easy.
Great business to be in. Started my company with a Ford Escape and a $400 power washer. Within a month scaled it to $9000 in revenue. Easiest business out there to scale!
You could literally get a couple electric power washers for like $500 and use pressure regulators on them to reduce pressure on delicate surfaces. Growing the business is what matters most.
love it!!! i’m 18, going to community college this fall, but i haven’t felt a passion for a career. but building my own business is something that has struck me. i want to be a great cleaning company in my area which will include housekeeping and pressure/soft washing. i’ll come back to my comment in a year and give an update!
I went to Community College and became an RN. I have been working as a nurse for 3 years. I recently realized that I don't want to work as a nurse full time for the rest of my life! So I am now in the process of making a business plan for a cleaning business in my area as well. I found the Upflip videos to be very motivational, informative and inspiring. I wish you the best and look forward to hearing your update. Cheers mate!
@@ricardopalma3714 I was forcing myself to go into the healthcare field too. It’s great that you’ve realized that early in your career! These videos are truly inspirational. Thank you, wishing you the best too! 🙏🏻
@@sofiaelaresit's been a year now, have you made any moves yet? & by the way you're hot.
So he’s profiting $120,000 a month after labor, taxes and expenses? Or 20-30% of 120,000?
Really inspiring story. Kickin butt Stephan. Appreciate you doing this.
Revenue isn't profit.
Revenue × Profit % = Profit

Great video!!! I am currently creating a business plan for my pressure washing business, maybe soft washing soon lol. This video has so many facts I find so interesting. I come from a background in door to door sales and I am super motivated to grind for myself going forward!!!
Have you started on your plan? if so how has it gone so far
@@QuantumPhii I have since pivoted and went into the direction of general lead generation for local small businesses. Being how competitive pressure washing, other homes services, etc, I figured this would give me some flexibility. Working out great now, partnered with a roofing/solar and a pressure washing company selling the leads I am generating from knocking, referrals, social media, door hangers, etc. You aren't limited on what you can do when you do lead gen. hoping to find some other companies to work with soon.
@@Anon_Fox that’s awesome thanks for replying, I wanted to see how a couple people ended up after almost a year from their comment, I’m glad lead generation is working out well!
Great video, I work 10 hrs a day in the automotive industry but I recently got the urge and dream to start a power washing business in Canada. These videos are awesome to see.
I have alot more to learn but I am looking forward to hopefully starting next year
Keep going Abe! We're rooting for you!

Couple questions..
- What type of chemicals do you use?
- How concentrated are the chemicals?
- Do you run into issues with protecting gardens, shrubs etc?
- Where does the waste water go?
Thank you 😊
I’m sure it’s all ok lol

Bleach is bad for your lungs and eyes as seen by the interviewer's reaction and had to move away from it.

Wow I started mine a week ago and I came across your video

This guy gave me a little something to look to not just power washing but business wise, I like my 9 to 5 but I want something to better my self an my family an hopeful my future fam as well 👍🏼
I enjoyed the video Steven seemed like a nice guy.There wasn't the arrogance I've seen in some videos.Most of the time I'm stopping the video before it really starts.Nice guy nice ideas I wish him the best.
Your channel is absolutely informative and I’m interested in this washing business in NY area. I watched 3 of your videos on wash but no where they mentioned the name and suppliers of some of their chemicals for cleaning 🧼 and that’s very important especially for me. That’s my biggest concern right now.
We'll make sure to ask them the next time we interview a pressure washing business!
@@UpFlip did these businesses you interviewed leave their contacts in case your viewers would like to contact them for some guidance ?
@@moosshabaz90 They are not going to be eager to give out that information.
@@moosshabaz90 You can just google suppliers can’t be that hard to find
@@lexbogie1 In this day and age they all want to be spoon fed. Can you just look it up for him? I'm sure it would only take you a few mins. What do you say man?
