Complementary services: professional pressure washing services

Pressure washers are an instrumental tool in providing many necessary services to people everywhere. Just like a hammer or saw are tools for carpenters, many companies use a pressure washer as a tool to provide you with different services every day. Pressure washers are used by fleet washers and retail stores, by pool cleaners, to clean kitchen range hoods at your favorite restaurants, and to restore wood decks and fences. General contractors use pressure washers to clean new homes and buildings before handing them over to the new owner. Pressure washers are used to clean the exterior and service areas of the buildings that you frequent every day. They are used to clean cars at your favorite supermarket, and painters use pressure washers to prepare surfaces before painting. New uses for this equipment are discovered every day. While there are many companies that specialize in providing these pressure washing services, more and more contractors that do not currently offer pressure washing are realizing the many opportunities to provide pressure washing services as an "add-on."

Business owners are constantly looking for opportunities to increase sales. Often the first direction they seek is to find new customers, sometimes ignoring the customers they already have. If you have provided excellent service and quality to your current customers, then you already have a track record that can benefit you. When you announce something new added to your current line of services, your customers will immediately assume that you will perform the same high level of service with the new offering. These are the easiest customers to market because they already trust you.

Actually, this is a great corporate accountability tool - providing the same high quality with an additional service that you already provide with your regular service. If you are going to provide a complementary service, it is important to pay the same attention to detail as with the other services offered. A complementary service that does not meet the same level of quality expected can damage the reputation of the company. The decision to provide a new service is one that must be taken very seriously over time and the investigation of this decision.

Looking at the points above, it is easy to see where a cleaning or cleaning services contractor could add Pressure Washing services with some ease. A landscaping contractor could provide house cleaning or deck restoration to add to the overall beauty of the property. Pressure washing services take advantage of the cleaning and catering industries, which are services that are needed by all companies and individuals. (I've found these services to be more and more frequent as the world we live in gets dirtier and dirtier!)

However, before you go out and start creating marketing materials for your new service, it is very important to learn as much as you can about these new services that it will offer. Research the type of equipment you will need (including important accessories). Learn what equipment specifications are needed to provide concrete cleaning versus wood restoration. In your research you will learn that the water jet does not clean itself. Instead, using pressure without the benefit of the proper cleaner often damages surfaces and property. Therefore, it is always important to learn about proper techniques, pressures, chemicals, and cleaners. When you use the proper cleaning and restoration products, the job becomes easier, but you should also educate yourself on proper handling and safety precautions for using them. In short, having a pressure washer doesn't make you a professional cleaner or restorer. It takes some education and research to learn the proper techniques and best management practices.
