About Power Wash Store

"PowerWashStore

The Power Wash Store has been serving the needs of the pressure wash industry since 1993. We aren’t in the pressure washer business to simply sell you a product and then kick you out the door. We’re here because we believe in helping people become better at what they do. Paul Kassander started The Power Wash Store in 1993 after many years running his own successful pressure washing company. He found many of his product suppliers couldn’t answer his questions and lacked any practical knowledge of the pressure washing business. Oftentimes, suppliers couldn’t even explain the basic functions of the machines they sold.
The Power Wash Store is more than just a supplier for pressure washing contractors. We are advocates with years of experience who are here to help you run a more profitable business. The Power Wash Store supplies customers with more than just pressure washers and chemicals, we arm them with the knowledge to successfully navigate competitive markets.
