How do you market a pressure washing business and get your first clients when you're just starting out?
Hello all My name is Shaun and I'm just getting started in this pressure washing business. I would like some advice on marketing and getting new clients. I have one pressure washer and one surface cleaner. (when I say I'm new to this, I mean Brand new just trying to learn the game right)How do you find subcontracting work during a drought or slow season?
Hey Chris, here with Neat Dreams Pressure Washing based out of Durham, North Carolina. I just completed the Jobber grant phase 2, and I am excited. Hope all is well. The thing is, we are currently in a severe drought in my city and surrounding areas so things has been pretty slow for power washers If there are any recommendations for help, like larger companies doing some subcontracting in the North Carolina area to make it through this temporary time, please comment. Have a blessed day.Roll call! Meet & introduce yourself to other Green & Exterior Service pros

Can I test a few visual/ad ideas for home service businesses?
I’m new here and trying to learn more about how home service businesses get customers outside of referrals. A lot of the work I do is around visual content and lead generation: better job photos, before/after posts, ad creatives, short videos, simple landing pages, and lead lists. I’m not here to hard pitch anyone. I’d honestly rather test a few ideas and get feedback from people who are actually running service businesses. If anyone has a business where the work is solid but the online presentation or lead flow could be better, I’d be open to taking a look and making a few sample ideas. Could be a before/after post, a Meta ad concept, a better way to show job photos, or a small lead-gen angle. No pressure. I’m mostly trying to learn what would actually be useful instead of guessing from the outside.
Section for Vendors or Subs
Please help develop a functions to add 3rd party vendors/subs that may be used as needed or 1-time. The primary point would be contact and database of vendors with info and docs needed for our team to access if needed as well as would be nice for them to have scheduling, invoicing with pics and job tracking capabilities.
