I would like to let everyone on the board know a little bit about me, that way people will know with whom they are speaking and dealing with.
My name is Tony Ell. I own QUIK CLEAN Custom High Pressure Washing Service. I operate out of Burlington, IA. (southeast corner of iowa). I started my company in 1994.
I thought I was going to wash everything! Man did I find out that to run a powerwashing business successfully you first had to have one thing..That's customers. I washed houses, moblie homes, concrete and etc... any job I could get I was taking. I believe that by doing this I was able to gain alot of valuable experience.
After about 3 years of washing anything, I was asked by a friend of mine at a local car dealer to wash their cars on the lot. I jumped at the oppurtunity and have since found a nice niche within this business of powerwashing. In the last 3 years I have gained two other car lot accounts. I rarely do any resitendial work anymore. I refer any old residential accounts to my competitor.
I am however contimplating some new commercial accounts and I found that I have turned to this bb to help with some of the questions I may have.
Here are just a few more things about me I thought you would like to know!
I am Married to a beautifal woman named Nanci
I have two beautiful children
Tanner 7
Kamryn 16 months
I work at General Electric/purchasing dept.
We own a Beauty shop/ wife runs it
Own a couple rental properties/ headache but good $$$
I have so much more I could tell everyone but I think evryone gets the picture.
I'm just trying to make it in this world and just thought I'd introduce myself to everyone. I'll be posting again in the future. See Ya!
