$1000 A Day Pressure Washing Business

I get asked all time how do i make $1000 profit pressure washing?

First and foremost to make $1000 a day in the pressure washing industry it takes hard work, Every stage from promoting your business , quoting, and customer relations through to doing the work it all takes hard work and effort. So if your scared of hard work and lots of effort stop reading NOW!!!

The first step in making $1000 a day is lots and lots of advertising, There are heaps of ways to advertise your business from expensive ways to methods that are free but you need to promote yourself.

Once your phone starts ringing you you can smile as getting the phone to ring is by far the hardest part of business in my opinion. Now its time to get out there a quote on the job at hand. Before you arrive on site to see the home owner or business owner you should have done your research to know what the market rates are from pressure washing in your area. When you quote never be the cheap option i always try and be middle of the road if not on the higher end of the market prices but what i do is i always offer references from recent jobs i have done and i always throw in a free service even if the free service is to clean the exterior windows for free or do a slow acting moss and mould treatment on there driveway, these free services have a cost of sale to me of around $40 so very little.

Once you have given the home owner or business owner the formal quote you need to follow up with them to try and close the sale, I normally call around them around 48 hrs after the quote was given, This shows your very interested in getting there work and that you have good communication skills as there is a big issue in this industry of people not communicating with the clients well enough so make it a point of difference that you communicate excellent with the client and word will spread.

Now if all went well the client has accepted the quote and you have booked the job in on a set day and time. Now next big thing is to be on time and have all the equipment needed ready to go so no delays when your on site.

Now down to the $$$$$$ , What to charge. In my area a average house size is 200m2 or 1800 ft2 and we would charge around $395.00 for a house wash, We always try and up sell two services at least on every house wash, these are a moss and mould roof treatment which would be another $160.00 and the last service is a driveway pressure clean which would be around $150.00 so a total cost to the customer would be $705, Now we try and complete two of these every day so a daily total of $1410.00.

Now we need to work out our cost of sale for the day to work out our profile, We would use around $25 of chemical on each house and $45 of chemical on each roof and $25 of chemical on each driveway and about $10 fuel for the pump so a total of $105 cost per house so a total of $210 cost for the day, Once we take out our daily business costs which in our business averages $150.00 per day which covers insurance, advertising, and office expenses you will be left with $1050.00.

The figures provided are an average as some day you will make more and some make less and your costs per day will change daily and even more if you have break downs.

As i stated in the first part of this the hardest thing is to get your phone to ring as you need to be doing as many quotes as you can as the more you do the more chance some will accept and offer you the work.

I will post shortly a post on how i get my phone to ring none stop all day every day.
