It all started with a $50 electric pressure washer a friend let me borrow. That's the honest truth. No grand business plan, no investors. I dragged it to a neighbor's driveway, spent a few hours on it, and something clicked. I knew this was what I wanted to do.
I was young, had zero experience running a business, and honestly had no business starting one. But I bought a cheap pressure washer of my own, started knocking on doors, and figured it out as I went. The first year was rough. Equipment broke. Jobs ran long. I undercharged. I made every mistake a first-timer makes.
But I kept showing up. And the work kept getting better.
Over time, I upgraded the equipment. Learned the difference between soft washing and pressure washing and when each one actually matters. Got licensed and insured. Started getting calls from people who heard about the work from a neighbor down the street. That part never gets old.
East Idaho Exterior Cleaning today is a far cry from that borrowed electric washer. But the reason I do it hasn't changed much. I want to be the person in East Idaho that people can actually count on. Someone who shows up on time, does exactly what they said they'd do, and charges a fair price for it.
This community has given me a lot. Cleaning up properties here is my way of giving something back.
