Two business ideas that you can start quickly are painting and cleaning. @minivanman has in depth knowledge of cleaning for sure - because I was surprised he explained that residential cleaning can be much more lucrative than commercial cleaning. I thought it would be the opposite.
What I like about these two business ideas is they can fold in and compliment your existing power washing - AND they are a service that is already popular. Another added on service could be moving - but that would involve setting it up. I think the idea of moving AND cleaning the house when you're done could be a great combo deal. If setting up the moving part is too difficult at this point, you could partner with several movers. They could pay you a referral fee for finding the work - and it would be a good lead in for cleaning and power washing.
See how things are expanding? This is starting to look a little more like an empire in the making, and less like a time consuming job!
You're on the right track. I don't know your market at all, so this is as deep as I can go. Some places in my market HATE cleaning windows and doing lawn work, so those are two more things that you can consider. You'd be surprised at the simple things and how much in demand they are.
But the real expert in this is... where the hell is @minivanman anyway? It's almost 4 am here, so he might be sleeping. He's getting lazy. Some of us work 20 hours a day and floss with broken glass... (all together now - BOO YAH!)
Yeah, a day late and a dollar short as always.
Hopefully we can all help this poster but I'll read through the thread as soon as I can.
