For many, the dream of self-employment is a distant goal, but for Jordan Hand of Hands Pressure Washing LLC, it was a vision that became reality. Transitioning from a steady job at a yacht club in Florida, Jordan embarked on a bold journey that led to the creation of a thriving pressure washing business serving Port Charlotte, FL; Sarasota, FL; North Port, FL; Englewood, FL; Charlotte County, FL; Punta Gorda, FL; Cape Coral, FL; Venice, FL; and Boca Grande, FL.
The Leap of Faith
Leaving a comfortable position without a clear plan is a decision few would make. However, Jordan’s entrepreneurial spirit guided him. “Being self-employed and starting a business was always the dream,” he recalls. “I put in my one-month notice at the yacht club, even though I didn’t have anything lined up at the time.” The spark for Hands Pressure Washing LLC ignited during a simple task—pressure washing a couple of driveways. “I thought to myself, ‘This might be something I can scale up.’”
Overcoming Early Challenges
Like many entrepreneurs, Jordan’s early days were filled with uncertainty and hurdles. “Finding jobs was the biggest challenge,” he admits. “I spent most of my time researching equipment, cleaning methods, and ways to find customers, but I wasn’t actually doing much work!” Despite these challenges, his persistence paid off, and Hands Pressure Washing LLC began to grow.
In the beginning, Jordan picked up a lot of small jobs—driveway cleanings, patios, and residential siding. While these helped him gain experience and establish a customer base, he quickly realized that if he wanted to scale and land bigger jobs, he needed to stand out from the regular competition. Too many companies operated out of the back of pickup trucks, wearing bleach-stained clothes, and offering generic services. He knew that to take Hands Pressure Washing LLC to the next level, he had to invest in his brand and professional image.
Determined to make an impact, Jordan focused on building an unstoppable rig, fully stocked with high-quality equipment that could handle any job, big or small. This investment not only improved efficiency but also instilled confidence in potential clients. Additionally, he refined his branding—developing a clean, professional look for his business, from well-designed logos and uniforms to an active online presence that showcased his work. By differentiating himself from the average pressure-washing business, Jordan positioned Hands Pressure Washing LLC as a top-tier service provider in the industry.
As word spread and his reputation grew, the company began landing larger contracts with commercial properties, homeowners' associations, and business parks. His strategic approach to scaling the business not only set him apart but also created a foundation for long-term success. What started as a struggle to find work had transformed into a thriving enterprise built on persistence, professionalism, and smart investments.
The Game-Changer: Professional Branding
Jordan quickly realized the value of professional branding in setting his business apart. Initially relying on DIY solutions like basic business cards, vinyl signs, and a self-designed website, he learned that investing in professional branding was key to scaling and growing his business. “I spent my first few years with cheap materials, but it also wasn’t very good, but I learned a lot.” Jordan reflects. “Professional branding is affordable and something I wish I had done from the start to help me gain more awareness and traction from the start.”
Custom Gear: Style Meets Functionality
In the world of pressure washing, durable and comfortable gear is essential. Jordan’s favorite pieces from Dab Marketing are: the collared polo shirt and the hoodie. “I wear these six days a week,” he says of the polo shirts. “They’re professional and incredibly comfortable in the heat.” The hoodie, meanwhile, is his go-to during colder weather. “When it’s cold, I put it on over my polo shirt. It’s also my favorite hoodie in general. In fact, I’m wearing it right now on my way to Miami while typing this!” he jokes.
