I got into the pressure/power washing business sort of by an accidental passion. Let me explain that. For the past 15 years, I was a restaurant manager & someone who enjoyed the "instant gratification" of experiencing customer's who got service that "exceeded their expectations". It was 6 years ago that my wife bought me a small pressure washer for Christmas to clean our deck & other things around our home. I soon realized I got the same gratification from pressure washing. I practiced techniques, studied & read from various forums & found the right products to clean specific projects. I did work for friends & family as my learning curve improved. Now, I have hundred's of happy local customers who will testify to my work ethic, dependability & my mission of "exceeding their expectations".
Contractors are required to be licensed in Virginia. There are two features of a contractor license. The first one is the class of license which determines the cost of projects that may be performed and the second is the classification/specialty of license, which determines what works are permitted.
To look up if a contractor's license has an active status or check a contractor's disciplinary history, a homeowner should use License Lookup tool.
Performing construction or demolition of structure, you are required by the State of Virginia a permit to be obtained. Building permits are issued by the local departments (cities and counties) in Virginia. Homeowners should verify with permit office to see if they need a building permit or where they should file their application.
