Hey, I’m Dave Moerman.
Husband, dad, and founder of Home Service Business Coach.
Back in 2016, I started an exterior cleaning business called Revive Services with a $189 Ryobi pressure washer from Home Depot, a used van, and a lot of long days doing everything myself.
The first 3 years were full of hustle…
Year 1 - $89,000
Year 2 - $155,000
Year 3 - $582,000
While the business was growing, everything depended on me. I was busy, but I wasn’t free.
What changed everything wasn’t working harder or chasing the next tactic. It was slowing down long enough to build real systems, and putting the right people in place so the business could operate without me being the bottleneck.
That shift is what allowed me to grow the company to $80K/month (running 10 months of the year), step away from the day-to-day, and eventually exit the business in March 2025.
For the 3 years leading up to the exit, my company ran with my Service Manager running the day-to-day of the business.
When I listed the business for sale, there were 112 inquiries. The business ran without me, the team was strong, the systems were in place, and I was only working about 5 to 10 hours a week. That’s what made it a sellable asset.
Today, my focus is helping pressure washing and window cleaning business owners do the same. Not by adding more complexity, but by building structure and clarity so the business doesn’t rely on them for everything.
I’m honoured to say I’ve helped 500+ exterior cleaning business owners scale their business.
I’m so passionate about this that I wrote an Amazon bestselling book, Get Off The Truck, which has now helped thousands of owners think differently about how they build their business.
And for those who want to go deeper, I run a coaching program for owners who are serious about building for income, freedom, and long-term sustainability.
I don’t believe you need to work 80-hour weeks to build something successful. I believe you can grow a strong business and still have a full life outside of it.
My goal here is simple: To show you what’s possible when you build your business with intention, and to help you create more time, freedom, and control along the way.
If you’re trying to build something bigger than yourself, you’re in the right place, and I’m glad you’re here.

5 things worth protecting:
1. Your sleep
2. Your circle
3. Your word
4. Your attention
5. Your calendar
Give any of these away cheap and you'll feel it.
The most successful solopreneurs aren't scaling to $10M.
They're simply making more than they did at their job, minus the boss, meetings, and headaches.
i mean this story is insane.
man used chatgpt to sell his house in 5 DAYS. got 5 offers in 72 hours. no real estate agents. saved so much money doing it too. he used AI to:
> price the house (researched neighboring properties for sale)
> wrote up the legal contracts (saving him $500/hr lawyers)
> best part: MARKETED the fucking property for him (usually you pay estate agents for their network of buyers - ChatGPT did all of this)
i honestly thought sales people would be hard for AI to replace (you need to know people) but apparently not
If your exterior cleaning business can’t run without you… you don’t own a business. You own a job.

If I were starting a home service biz today, the only 3 I would NOT start are:
Pressure washing
Window cleaning
Lawncare
Why?
Pressure washing & window cleaning:
1. Thanks to a handful of smart Tik Tokkers, you'll be competing against internet savvy 24 year old hustlers that are unafraid to knock doors and know every tip and trick in the book, or at least they think they do.
2. They aren't complacent! I'd rather have 100 complacent competitors than 3 hungry and savvy competitors.
3. They are low ticket services. Why drive 30 minutes to give a $300 quote when so many other services are $3,000 quotes?
4. The supply/demand ratio on platforms like Angi and Thumbtack are skewed against you.
10 bidders for every bid.
You'd work too hard for too little money.

But why not lawncare?
1. Your competitor is either Jimmy, the resident 17 year old that Karens can't say no to, or Jose, the hard-working hispanic that charges almost nothing.
2. You can outsource the work to a crew, but there's no margin for that, or do it yourself, and have to maintain all kinds of equipment.
Try calling a small engine repair place. Booked for weeks.
Does this mean people can't be successful with these 3 services? Of course not!
There will always be an opportunity to stand out in any industry, especially if you aren't having to reinvent the wheel.
But with hundreds of ways to profit in home services, pick the ones with the least amount of brain damage.
@Jahan_Joll Exactly... Most owners don’t need more tactics, they need focus and consistency. Doing the right things over and over compounds way faster than chasing every new idea.
Hey brother, yes, we work with exterior cleaning business owners all across the U.S. inside our Accelerator program. Everything is online with systems, coaching calls, and community support so you can scale without being stuck on the tools. Shoot me a DM and I’ll point you in the right direction 💪🏻
Marketing is loud right now...
Everyone’s posting. Everyone’s running ads. Everyone’s competing for attention.
The easiest way to stand out is to deliver an experience SO solid that people talk about you without being asked.
What that looks like 👇🏻
-Clean uniforms.
-Fast communication.
-Clear estimates.
-Professional crews.
-A systemized experience that feels the same every time.
When you run a company people trust, the algorithm becomes a bonus, not a requirement.
