Hi, My name is Thomas and I am going to be starting into the pressure washing trades.
My background is industrial manufacturing and certified machinist. I also dealt with everything from machining aerospace to running high capacity furnaces and foundry work..My home location is Washington state
I believe many years of being around industrial equipment,controling process to achieve desired results, and above all being responsible will help me achieve success in this business.
I have been researching this business for a while now and will soon have everything in place to go for it.
These forums are one of the things that help me decide. The help and support within these forums is amazing, you guys really enhance your own trade this way.. I like that
I have addressed my training options. I have sought info. on insurance, licenses,certifications, and affiliations, local support,advertising... Still working on the name as of yet..
I am treating this venture as I do all my work assignments... I do my best to quickly master the jobs and absorb every bit of knowledge and insight my brain can sponge up..My world has always been sink or swim, failure is not an option..
Trust me I'm taking in everything you guys say

The services I would like to offer: Roofs(soft washing) houses,concrete/masonry cleaning, flat work, heavy equipment washing and commercial as I gain experience.
I look forward to getting to know you folks and becoming a part of things...

Thank you Tegrey:cool: Having been a nationwide contractor I have worked for companies small to global. I have found you don't have to be biggest to be best just follow the recipe and hold up your end...
I appreciate the welcomes to the forum Russ, Big Ash and Tegrey:)

Triple Clean Powerwash

It took a while to get everything done to get the business started. Now I need to get out there and get to work:)
The washer is a Hotsy 1290 SSG with a Honda 20 horse motor. 3k psi and 5.6 gpm. It has a little more duct work on Monday and she"ll be ready..
I have been working with some good folks in surrounding areas and learning/getting some hands on training..plus what I gain from here..
It's a dual wand setup. Downstream is on one side the other is just pressure.
I did get a flat surface cleaner in the deal..Thanks to you guys here and a couple other forums taking time out to share your opinions and experiences..

The truck is an Isuzu NPR
