If you are a beginner in the pressure washing business then you may find it difficult for finalizing on the charges that have to charge to the customer in return of the service rendered. It is important that you may set the charges according to your experience of offering these services. If you are not fully aware about how hard any job could be then you must not keep it in your profile and in the beginning you may keep the rates low so that more and more customers come towards you. Other things which need to be focused while starting off this business are: market demand, competition and a complete survey about what residential and commercial services are offered in your area.
First, you need to conduct a detail survey about what others are charging and what would be your hourly rate, this is important because it directly affects the inflow of business. Also, you need to calculate that the hourly rate you have decided could keep your business on the go too and is not causing any type of loss. The calculation of hourly rate includes the number of hours you may have invested in the beginning are required to be calculated in the hourly billing too. Keep in mind that no business begins earning from the day one rather it requires time for them to take a kick start. The main thing about the number of hours to be billed is that they do not includes the time you have spent introducing your business to the target market but the hours which are actually spent rendering services on the job.
With the passage of time you may not only gain the job experience but would get to know that how much time is required to complete one job.
