I own and operate a golf course .... and well, golf is in a little depression at the moment so I am looking at some additional revenue streams. I have looked at power washing over the years and am close to pulling the trigger. In my home town there is an extensive road project right through the center of town that has been ongoing for 3 or 4 months. Consequently every house on both sides of the street are covered in dust. Once the roadwork is completed in early November, there "should" be lots of potential dirty houses, ie. several hundred....... which I see has the perfect opportunity to either get in the business or shutup about it.
If I plan to initially only go after the "soft wash" housing market will a 200 gallon John Bean Sprayer (8 HP Honda/ 10 gpm @ 500 psi) get the job done provided I come up with a smaller dedicated detergent applicator ? Given the lateness of the season, I would rather not spend six or seven thousand (+) now for the "pro" style equipment I have looked at that would enable me to do all sorts of pressure cleaning. Would rather walk before I run.... if at all possible.
What do you all think ?
Thank you.
