I loved the idea of developing something from the ground up. Caddie Wash began as a simple Idea in 2025. I had done pressure washing in the past for my grandparents, but only now did I think, “maybe I could make a business out of this”. Pressure washing wasn't anything new, so I knew I needed to build a brand that would separate me from my competitors. I came up with the name of Caddie Wash since I began this business to help myself pay for golf expenses and built my brand around that “Caddie” theme. I started doing tons of research on how to pressure wash correctly. What equipment I needed, the size of hose, post treating to not leave lines, etc. I quickly realized that there was a lot more to pressure washing then I had once thought, but I was ready for the challenge.

I started out with some basic equipment that my grandpa had and tested out my skills on my own house, but also theirs. I got my first few before and after photos so I could then go out and advertise. I built a website, filed an llc, got insurance, I was actually running a real business now! Before I knew it I had my first few customers and I quickly realised that I needed to get better equipment if I wanted to grow this. I spent all my savings to buy commercial grade equipment and I also introduced window cleaning to cater to a larger audience. This paid off as we ended up gaining a solid client base my first year in business and really was able to take on any job we wanted now because of our upgraded equipment and the knowledge I had gained. I also began to hire a few of my friends to help me take on even more jobs. The first year wasn’t perfect. I had to learn how to troubleshoot equipment, manage bigger jobs, and solve unexpected challenges, but those lessons built a solid foundation for the business. Now with the right equipment and the knowledge I have gained, I am confident in Caddie Wash being able to do a professional level job at any property we are servicing.
