Buy a pressure washer for  pressure washing!
 It's not smart to put wear and tear on a $10,000- $20,000 T.M.
when you can buy a  pressure washer for $1,000 !

We've used ours to pressure wash. You're better off buying a pressure washer

How many times have you gone up to a house and seen sidewalks that could use a good PW. Add an extra $$ on to the job - but use a separate PW. Total cost to set up of under $2500 for 3500 psi with a couple of wands and tips and a good spinner. Wear eye protection.

Depends on where you live;
How about you ask your next 25 customers if they would be interested
and see what the results are?

If your not PW'ing much just use your TM.. I'm talking 1 or 2 PW jobs a month..Your already setup and ready to go.. Prep the area then blast away.. Done.. Otherwise yea.. What they said above.. Buy a PW'er.. Upper
