Hello, I have moved your post from the introduction area to the business area Hopefully you will get more help here.
First it is important to know what level of wahing you are doing. Are you using commercial equipment or some machine you bought at Lowe's or Home Depo *** They are home type machines, how can you tell, go to their own rental departments, they will not rent the same machines they sell.
What type of other equpment do you have, is it a hot water unit, do you have a flat surface cleaner ( it clears parking area, drive ways and side walks up to 5 times faster. Do you know what type of jobs you are going to be doing, what chemicals are you planning on using.
Are you in a area that requires you to pick up and recyle or reclaim your used water ?
Locally here in Atlanta, they will do semi trucks for 25 to 30 dollars, and trailers inside and out go for about 65 at some of the local washes.
Side walks and concreate areas go for 10 cents a square foot or less.
A average size single story home (2 or 3 bedrooms) will go for about 100 to 125 dollars not including drive way.
Now can you find someone with a pickup truck and a 400 dollar washer to do a home for 50 bucks of course you can but you get a 50 dollar wash normally.
My best advice, go to a professoinal pressure washer dealer in your area, they will show you proper cleaning methods, and equpment,
Hotsy is one of the major commercial brands ( number one in the US)
Hotsy pressure washers: affordable high pressure cleaning equipment. (http://www.hotsy.com)
If you are in Europe, you would look for often a Karcher brand.
