About 3 weeks ago I was sick and tired of my job, working in a warehouse getting treated like ****. My girlfriend says to me, why don't you start your own company, u always wanted to.She told me her friends husband power washes and makes good money... why don't u start your own power washing company, Not knowing anything about power washing i said thats a good idea... i run to home depot that night and I bought 2 brand new power washers 500 dollars a pop on sale... retail 1000 dollars at home depot
DeWALT 3750 PSI Pressure Washer, comes with a 13 HP Honda OHV GX Engine.
good deal? or bad deal?


Anyway, If u all don't mind, ill be asking alot of STUPID questions... =D
thanks for your time.
 
welcome Chris.. good deal or bad, you own them. Now all you have to do is get them into use. Get insurance, read every post on technique and proper chems, practice on your mom's house, aunt Nancy's deck etc. Then come back here and read every post you can on marketing and selling. How much did you set aside as an advertising budget? We will help you get up and running once the rose colored glasses of owning a business turn a little cloudy.
 
They will complain but its the same equipment the PWNA gave away last year.
Im still new at a little over two years. The task of PWing is not rocket sience but I learn something new every day either in the field, on these boards, or the local guys (at least the cool ones). Most of the guys on here will help you if they can. Just do a search first other wise some might get on your case for not doing the leg work first.

Back to your question they are capable of getting most residential jobs done. And it is a starting point its a smart way to get started (low Cost). Use your money to make you money. I am constantly reinvesting in my business
 
You will get good use and knowledge out of those machines. The other side of the coin once you gain the knowledge you can use what is left of the machines as a reliable back up to your new machines. We all have backups and bone yards-welcome to our world.

And if you buy a Chevy you can get back to A again:D
 
I am starting out with the same machine and sticking to residential jobs. So far so good. I have been reading the posts here religiously and plan on upgrading when the time is right. Someone once said you have to spend money to make money.
