There are many things you need to learn to be a professional. Most of us don't even really need a pressure washer for what we do.. for instance pressure washing will do zero for rust stains. You would need to apply acid and that is also not for the everyday guy. The business is not rocket science but does require some finesse. if you run a PW'ing business like you would any other, you have a chance for success.. then again in Florida.. good luck.
If you are going full time and have approximately $50,000 (and a truck) for initial start up and funding capital, you could survive your first year.

You are taking the right steps by asking questions and finding out about licensing and insurance requirements. Take your time there is plenty to learn, from graffiti removal too sand blasting. Search the net you will find plenty of info from helpful contractors. Good management skills are needed as for you will be responsible for marketing, direct sales, pricing, services, book keeping and more. You will want to check out your suppliers and who your potential customers maybe.
pyroracing85 or should I say newguy07, it looks funny when you ask a question with one screen name and then respond to an answer with another screen name.
