Add on for pressure cleaning bus. ?

Hey guys, I am new here just found this searching for something else.

Anyway, I am looking for ideas of something to add on to a pressure cleaning business. I have been in business since 2000 and am in the process of closing up a second business that my father and I started a couple years ago. My pw business is doing pretty good and we offer most of the services that pw companies usually offer (house and building washing, fleet cleaning, decks, flat work, etc), but I am looking to offer something else to residential customers that might add to our services.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Gutter cleaning, exterior caulking, & painting/sealing are some of the things I also see on the side of pressure washing trucks in my area. It does seem to me that media blasting, particularly soda blasting, would involve many of the same skills, even if it is different equipment.

A little off topic

You said you've been doing this for a while,
I've asked this qustion on this and on anouther forum but can't seem to get an answer.

I have a restaurant that wants me to PW their building, (I do mostly flat work)
My concern is they have a couple of signs and the building is trimmed with LED light strips.

Is there any thing I should be worried about of any special care with he lighting

Thanks

Use real low pressure and you should be fine. Make sure you use the appropriate chemical for whichever substrate it is that you are cleaning.

You could try to add on dryer vent cleaning.
