You can make quite a decent income painting houses. I did it for awhile, got really good, and live in a very nice area. Painting a house can get you a ~$10k paycheck for ~2 weeks of work. Of course there are lots of variables here. Competition, slow seasons, bad customers, etc. It's stressful, and can be back-breaking.
I remember wishing to sit in an office all day, programming, in AC, making lots of money. But, man, I miss the freedom and fun.
I've thought about doing something like this. I have the income to buy all the equipment I could need, sprayers etc. Was also looking into pressure washing.
As pressure washing is necessary before painting a house. You can offer both services and just add to your customer base. I'm rethinking my life now and wondering if I should start it up again as well, lol.
Yeah after talking about it here, it immediately made sense to me to combine them. I've thought about just banking some income for a couple of months and buying the best equipment I can afford and then starting something. Also it's dumping snow right now so there won't be much house painting / pressure washing going on.

Why not both?
