Buy a Rolling Suds Franchise

Rolling Suds is a power washing franchise focused exclusively on exterior cleaning for residential and commercial properties, using power and soft washing across surfaces such as homes, driveways, patios, storefronts, parking lots and building exteriors. The original business was founded in 1990 in Pennsylvania and operated for more than three decades before launching as a national franchise system in 2023.

Since then it has grown into one of the largest power washing franchises in the United States, with a network of 250-plus territories and more than 500,000 properties cleaned. The brand runs a low-overhead, territory-based model built around in-house-built trucks and a proprietary Professional Wash Method designed to standardise quality in an otherwise fragmented, largely unregulated industry.

Rolling Suds positions itself as a “franchisee-first” company and serves both homeowners and commercial property managers, giving owners two distinct revenue streams. The franchise system was founded by Aaron Harper, who stepped down as CEO in 2025 to become Chairman as new leadership took over the fast-growing network.

Why buy a Rolling Suds Franchise?

Buying a Rolling Suds franchise gives an owner entry into exterior cleaning, a recession-resistant home and commercial services category with steady, repeat-driven demand. The brand’s exclusive focus on power washing, in-house-built trucks and a standardised Professional Wash Method give franchisees a recognised system in a market still dominated by independent, often inconsistent operators.

Because the model serves both residential and commercial clients, owners are not tied to a single customer base, and the franchisor’s national accounts programme and 24/7 call centre support the B2B lead flow that an independent operator would have to build alone. A strong franchisee-first culture, lead generation, SEO and reputation management round out the support an incoming owner inherits.

Rolling Suds – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Rolling Suds onboards new owners through a 9-Week Power Launch Program that includes in-person training at corporate HQ, with 31 hours of classroom and 57 hours of on-the-job training. Ongoing support covers near-monthly training, coaching, lead generation, SEO and website support, reputation management, marketing, national accounts management and a 24/7 call centre, plus regular franchisee calls and conventions. Buyers of an existing unit should confirm what transfer training and call-centre and system access carry over to incoming ownership.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Rolling Suds suits a hands-on owner-operator who leads with B2B sales and local networking rather than running the wand personally. The franchisor looks for candidates with business experience, an enterprise mindset and team-building ability, comfortable recruiting and managing crews, winning commercial accounts and building community relationships. Prior power washing experience is not required, but owners should be sales-oriented, process-driven and focused on scaling a route-based service business to its full territory potential.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Rolling Suds is widely described as the largest power washing franchise in the US, built on a brand with more than three decades of operating history. In 2025 it debuted on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 at #311 and was named one of Entrepreneur's Fastest-Growing Franchises, reflecting rapid territory growth since it began franchising in 2023. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews and referral sources.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US power-washing and exterior-cleaning services market is estimated to approach $3 billion by 2026, supported by steady residential maintenance spending and commercial property managers' need for regular exterior upkeep. Demand is recurring and relatively recession-resistant, as cleaning protects property value and appearance. The sector remains highly fragmented and largely unregulated, giving a standardised national brand room to win share. For resale buyers, the mix of residential versus commercial accounts shapes a territory's resilience.
