Power Washing Side Hustle
Key takeaways:
1. Start Small, But Invest Wisely in Equipment
James learned the hard way that going for the cheapest pressure washer wasn’t the best move. Avoid unnecessary upgrades by investing in decent mid-range equipment from the outset. A reliable power washer not only saves time but also delivers better results, which leads to happier customers and repeat business.
2. Marketing Matters – Even for Local Services
Setting up a professional-looking social media page and sharing before-and-after photos can help attract customers faster. Even a simple logo and good presentation can make a big difference when trying to stand out in a competitive market.
3. Customer Service is Key to Repeat Business
James focuses on building strong relationships with his customers. By being punctual, polite, and exceeding expectations, he’s been able to secure repeat clients year after year. Word-of-mouth recommendations stem from good service, so prioritising customer satisfaction is crucial.
