Pressure washing

Pressure washing: the tax questions worth asking early

Low barrier to entry, seasonal swings, and equipment that wears out fast.

Decisions that change the picture

  • Buying a trailer rig or upgrading to a hot-water unit.
  • Adding commercial or fleet-washing accounts.
  • Water sourcing, reclaim, and disposal requirements.

Records worth keeping as you go

  • Equipment purchases, including repairs and replacement parts.
  • Chemical and water costs.
  • Commercial contracts and billing terms.

Questions to bring to your tax pro

  • Is my rig purchase best handled all at once or over time?
  • How should I plan around a short, heavy season?
  • What should I set aside from each commercial contract?
