First of course the type of equipment and the quality of the job you will do makes a big difference, Using a "home depo" quality pressure washer is one level, or using a hot water pressure washer that helps get oil and stains out while you are washing it
Are you using a drive way cleaning attachment or just cleaning with a wand ( that leaves some streaks)

The reason I say this, one way you get business is providing higher quality cleaning than others in the business.

Also you want to consider also offering to wash the house, and having a gutter attachment for your pressure washer that will will clean gutters out.

Also repeat business is important.

Some advertise by putting "signs" on the side of the road. Also some offer a 10 to 20 percent discount if the arrange two or three homes in the same area. For example you flyer a area, have where if they can and give you 3 driveways you give them a certain discount if neighbors get together and call.

Also business cards left at local stores and marts.

Also assuming you have a professoinal trailer rig, make large signs to be mounted on your trailer rig.

Also remember that many apt complexes hire people to do thier complex each year.
Also almost all restraunts and gas statoins hire people to wash thier drive thoughs each week.

Also most of the larger and even smaller truck firms hire people to wash thier vechiles each week.

I am helping to big out a job for 50 vans a week at this time for a company here in Atlanta.

So there are jobs everywhere the main thing, be professional, do professional work and you will find jobs.
