Play pressure washing: low capital, high hustle
Operators who will knock doors, upsell packages, and protect surfaces properly.
First dollar: Days to weeks after equipment and first flyers or ads.
Exact steps. Ship the smallest unit of paid value before you gold-plate.
House wash vs concrete. Soft wash knowledge prevents claims.
Photos sell the next job.
Door hangers, HOAs, property managers.
Driveways + houses + gutters. Raise ticket size.

What you do on paper: Run exterior cleaning -- driveways, houses, commercial flatwork, fleet washing. High per-job margins, low equipment cost; scale with crews and recurring commercial contracts.
Frequency: Tens of thousands of small operators; extremely low barrier means high churn and a long tail of part-timers.
