Who These Pressure Washing Classes Are For
Three kinds of people sit in these rooms, and the material is built for all three.
- People starting a pressure washing business. You want to work for yourself, set your own hours, and get into contracting with a plan instead of a guess.
- Existing contractors adding a service. Painters, roofers, landscapers and home improvement companies bolting washing onto work they already sell.
- Working washers who want to earn more. Crews already in the field who need better pricing, better chemistry, and better bidding rather than more hours.
What the Class Covers
Most new washing companies fail inside two years, and it is rarely because the operator could not run a machine. It is the business side. The class covers both halves.
The technical half
- Choosing a rig: GPM versus PSI, cold water versus hot water, what to buy first and what to wait on
- Chemistry: what actually cleans which surface, dilution ratios, and the mistakes that damage property
- Surface-specific technique for house washing, roofs, concrete, decks and fleet work
- Soft washing versus pressure washing, and knowing when each one is the wrong choice
- Water reclamation and staying compliant when you wash in a regulated area
- Safety, ladders, and the ways people get hurt on this equipment
The business half
- Pricing your work so the job pays for the truck, the chemical and your time
- Bidding commercial and residential jobs, and reading a scope before you quote it
- Insurance and licensing β what you actually need before your first paid job
- Getting customers: marketing that works for a local service business
- Estimating, scheduling and collecting
- Adding services and scaling past a one-truck operation
How the Classes Run
Classes are held at our Gaithersburg store or at a hotel nearby, in small groups, over a full day of instruction. The curriculum is refreshed each year to keep up with changes in chemistry, equipment and regulation. Instructors are veteran contractors with more than fifteen years of running successful pressure washing companies β not salespeople.
Because the group is deliberately small, seats go quickly once a date is announced. That is the reason for the list above.
Why Learn Here
Sun Brite Supply has supplied pressure washing contractors across Maryland since 2001, and the people teaching are the same people you will call when a pump fails on a Friday afternoon. You leave the class knowing where the equipment comes from, what the consumables cost, and who to ask when something breaks. That relationship is worth as much as the notes.
Before the Class: Free Ways to Start
You do not have to wait for a date to start learning. Read our tips and troubleshooting guides, browse the contractor training section, and look through pressure washers and cleaning chemicals so the terminology is familiar when you walk in. If you want equipment advice before you spend money, call the counter β that conversation is free.

When is the next pressure washing class?
Not scheduled yet. Classes run about every six months. Add your name to the list above and we will contact you the moment the date is set.
Where are the classes held?
At our store at 16620 Oakmont Ave, Gaithersburg, MD 20877, or at a hotel nearby when the group is larger.
Do I need experience to attend?
No. The class is built to take someone with no background through to a working plan, while still giving experienced washers material on pricing, chemistry and scaling.
Do I need to own equipment first?
No, and we would rather you did not buy anything until after. A large part of the value is learning what to buy and in what order.
Is this a sales pitch for your products?
No. It is instruction from working contractors. We sell equipment for a living, so we are not shy about it, but the class earns its keep on the business material.
