Look into remeshing/ fabricating solar shade screens too. The sun down here EATS them, and you can get 60-70 bucks apiece or more for big ones. Cost 10 maybe 15 to build once you have a few tools. They are an easy upsell I’ve found. At least 1 in 4 houses has a NEED for at least a couple new ones.

Hello and welcome.

This investment will serve you well as you will have in hand quality professional tools. Not only the feel and use of such tools, but your own feeling about using them will help build your confidence. I think we all can agree the right tool for the job makes the job that much better.

I am in Phoenix as well. Your story sounds very similar to me. You can do it. Make sure you surround yourself with positive people that want you to succeed. Negativity is not good to be around when you have goals like you do. Clean with confidence. Establish what you want to do with your company. Do you want to provide good quality? Good service? Low prices? Have a plan and stick to it. Get a good set of tools to get started with. It doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to do this. Keep it simple until you build it up! Feel free to message me and I can help you.
