Until we do, I suggest the roof cleaning sections of�Pressure Washing Institute or The Grime Scene.
This is a brand new board, and it will takke some time to get all we hope to offer up.

For the LLC info and or Incorporation info check your state website. Filing is rather easy to do and they usually provide the info you need there.

Insurance can be tricky, I would suggest lookong for a commercial specialist. Trying to insure with your "homeowner" insurers can be more expensive than it should be. Try looking in your local yellow pages for a independent agent and have them price shop it to the major companies. When setting up your insurance go with a general .5-1mil policy and an additonal umbrella policy of 1-2mil to save money on your premiums.

Your insurance should not be very different from any pressure washer business.
Here is an agent that can help, he is national, and insures alot of power washers and roof cleaners. He was head of the PWNA for awhile I believe 2.

I used him for 2yrs, I think I paid about 1k per year through peerless.

Call the Phone number on the site and talk to Bonnie.

I went through Joseph Walters and got 1 mil per occurance and 2 mil per year for 800 and some change. The underwriter is Ohio Casualty Insurance. I don't think they will be going anywhere any time soon.

Good price, i may call them , i pay about 1200 for 1mil but then again this is Long Island and nothing is cheap ( except my roof cleaning prices LOL )

I use Merchants Insurance. I secured it through a broker - Kramer Warner Associates. The guys was relatively young and trying to build his insurance book so he worked pretty hard for me to find a good price. I pay $900.00 for $500,000/occurance - 1,000,000/year and a low $250.00 deductible. A higher deductible would have saved me a lot more. I chose the low deductilbe while I am still a smaller company. I will change it when I get bigger. He did everything by e-mail, phone and fax. It was pretty painless and mechants billed me directly. If anyone is interested in his services, here is his info:
