About this Business
This pressure washing business already has customers, equipment, commercial relationships, and three large territories with room to grow. The owner has kept the business intentionally small while transitioning toward retirement, leaving a lot of opportunity still on the table for someone ready to actively build it.
The business generated approximately $89,000 during the May–October 2025 operating season. Around 200 customers have already been serviced, including residential jobs and ongoing commercial work. The operation currently runs lean with one technician and limited owner involvement. The sale includes a fully loaded commercial pressure washing rig and professional equipment already out in the field and working.
A new owner steps into a business that already has customers, equipment, and jobs on the board, but still feels early in its growth story. The groundwork is there for someone who wants to market aggressively, build local relationships, grow recurring accounts, and turn the business into something much larger.
This is a strong fit for an active owner-operator who wants to grow a local service business and build long-term value over time. It is not a passive investment opportunity. Seller financing may be available for qualified buyers. The seller is retiring and willing to provide transition support. Inquire for more info.
Growth opportunities
A more active owner could take this business much further through stronger local marketing, faster lead follow-up, and building deeper commercial relationships across all three territories. The business already has customers, equipment, and jobs on the board. What it has not had yet is an owner fully focused on growth. There is clear room to expand recurring commercial work, increase visibility locally, and build a much larger route-based operation over time.
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
The current owner spends fewer than 10 hours per week on the business, primarily handling leads and inquiries, while one technician handles the field work. The business needs a more active owner to fully grow into the opportunity across all three territories. A hands-on operator focused on marketing, lead follow-up, local relationships, and commercial accounts could take the business to its full potential.
Asset Description
The sale includes approximately $100,000 worth of commercial pressure washing equipment and assets, including a fully loaded Isuzu box truck with professional-grade pressure washing systems already installed and operating in the field. A new owner steps into a working setup with the equipment, tools, tanks, hoses, and territory coverage already in place instead of spending months building from scratch.

Retirement
Why I Love My Franchise
One thing the seller liked early on was how much open room there still is in the market. There are currently no other Rolling Suds franchise operators in the state, leaving a lot of runway for a more growth-focused owner to build visibility, expand commercial relationships, and grow the business across all three territories.
About Rolling Suds
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.
Franchisee 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.
Brand Accolades & 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.
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.
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.
