Hey guys first off i want to tell every one i appreciate your posts on the forum. I have learned so much. I fell into the pressure washing industry by accedent. I have a lawn and landscape company we mostly concentrate on residental yards. My customers were always asking me to pressure wash homes. So i did a little research and visited a rt and started pressure washing my current clients homes. It has worked out great. I would like to build a rig. I would like it to be on a trailer. I havent done any roofs that is something i would like to get into. I also would like it to have hotwater. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

ok guys right now i am not looking to travel to get work. i am really trying to stay local. To do this I am going to have to be willing to clean different types of properties. I am wanting to clean homes, commercial concrete and anything else that can be cleaned. is there a way to set a rig up for this?

First welcome. Since all of these other fountains of knowledge are'nt helping, I will. First, all the good work is in Prattsville...

No, really, a pressure washing rig can be set up any way that you want it. It all depends on what you are doing. All of my rigs are hot water. I have one that has two machines, a 225 gallon tank, and a small filtration and recovery unit on it. It does parking garages and stadiums. I have one that has one machine, and 450 gallons of water for fleets, and another that has 750 gallons of water and one machine to do hit and run type work, where I do a small area, and then go to the next one.
You will probably want a feed hose reel and a pressure reel for each machine. I like Cox, but recently started using Hannay, (Don't start on me Ron.) I did this because it is what my preferred supplier, www.dcs1.com sells. That used to be Delco, then Rahsco, and now Delux. I also buy my machines from them, because I really like their service and the machines I have bought from them, especially the newer versions, meaning the last five years, are very easy to service. If you don't like Aladdin's, Russ Johnson, at Southside in Kentucky can also help you out. One of the big reasons I don't use him is because he is so far from Arizona. He is a good guy though.
 
thanks for the help...scott.....as you can tell i have info overload from searching. right now with my current set up its taking too long to do a typical house cleaning about 3 to 4 hours. i charge any where from 200 to 250. with out driveway.
