When my husband wanted to start a side business of pressure washing houses, I was ready to give him my support. I helped him get up and running and found out that there was a lot more to pressure washing houses than just some soap and a pressure washer. All of the extra chemicals, hoses, fittings for the hoses, and not to mention all of the paperwork that goes along with owning your own business.

I was the one who stayed at home and answered all the business calls and also handled all of the billing and banking for the business. I was shocked to find out that there were so many other things besides houses that people wanted pressure washed. I took four calls in just one week for concrete cleaning and then we had to buy a concrete type of surface cleaner to offer that.

I am really happy that he got into pressure washing, and concrete cleaning has become something that we do almost every day now. This business continues to grow more and more every year. This year marks the fifth year that we have owned our own pressure washing business. I would not change it for anything else in the world. It allows my husband to be his own boss and for that he is a much happier person.
