For Florida pressure washing & exterior cleaning
High-pressure water, other people's property, and one etched window away from a claim.
A stripped deck, a cracked window, water forced under siding — exterior cleaning damage claims land fast, and without an LLC they land on you personally.

Why pressure washing & exterior cleaning in Florida use an LLC
Property damage is the business model's shadow
3,000 PSI meets a customer's stucco, screens, or oxidized paint. When a job goes wrong, the invoice you sent is personal unless an LLC signed it.
Slip-and-fall on wet surfaces
You leave driveways, pool decks, and walkways wet by definition. An injury claim weeks later names whoever contracted the job - better that's a company.
Commercial contracts require an entity
Property managers and HOAs ask for a certificate of insurance and a business name before you can even quote. The LLC is the ticket to bid.
What your pressure washing business needs alongside the LLC
- General liability insurance in the LLC's name (most commercial jobs require $1M)
- Contracts and estimates issued by the LLC
- A business bank account for job payments

Questions pressure washing & exterior cleaning ask us
Do I need a license to pressure wash in Florida?
Florida has no statewide pressure-washing license, but many counties and cities require a local business tax receipt, and some work (like roof cleaning tied to repairs) can edge into licensed-contractor territory. Check your county - and run the business through an LLC either way.
Is an LLC worth it for a part-time washing business?
At $164.99 all-in with a $138.75 annual report, one deck you don't have to personally pay to refinish covers the cost many times over.
Can I add soft washing or gutter cleaning later?
Yes - one LLC covers related service lines, and a $99 fictitious-name filing adds a second brand if you want one.
