The Vision of PWNA: Leading the Power-Washing Industry into 2025

 By PWNA | Published January 2025

As we approach 2025, the Power Washers of North America (PWNA) stand ready to lead the power-washing industry with bold initiatives, enhanced education, and unwavering advocacy. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the field, PWNA’s commitment to education, safety, and compliance provides the foundation you need to thrive in an ever-evolving industry.

PWNA is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising industry standards, fostering ethical practices, and ensuring environmental and regulatory compliance. Our goal is simple: to empower contractors and businesses to grow while advancing the power-washing profession as a whole. In 2025 we are focusing on strengthening our core offerings, introducing new resources, and driving meaningful change for contractors across all sectors.

Enterprise Membership: A Profound Benefit for Businesses

In response to industry needs, PWNA is proud to grow and add more benefits to the Enterprise Membership in 2025. This initiative allows businesses of all sizes to enroll their teams under one membership, providing access to PWNA’s extensive resources, certifications, and networking opportunities.

Enterprise Membership equips businesses to train employees efficiently, ensuring they meet the highest standards of professionalism and safety. Companies that invest in their teams through PWNA not only enhance their operational capabilities but also improve customer satisfaction, setting themselves apart in a competitive market.

This membership is designed to help businesses unify their workforce, maintain compliance with industry regulations, and deliver consistent, high-quality service. As a company grows, PWNA’s Enterprise Membership provides the support needed to scale responsibly and successfully.

Expanding Education for 2025

Education has always been a cornerstone of PWNA’s mission, and we’re raising the bar in 2025 with new and improved training opportunities. Our educational programs now include specialized classes on business development, sales strategies, and financial management, such as the highly anticipated “KPI’s” (key performance indicators) course.

These new classes aim to give contractors the tools to understand their financial metrics, price services accurately, and maximize profitability. PWNA’s updated curriculum ensures that members not only master technical skills but also gain the business acumen needed to run successful operations.

Additionally, PWNA continues to offer industry-leading certification programs in safety, environmental compliance, and technical practices. By becoming certified, members demonstrate their commitment to excellence, which helps build trust with customers and distinguishes them from competitors.

For those unable to attend in-person training, PWNA’s online and regional events make it easy to access valuable content, ensuring education is always within reach.

Advocacy for CARB-SORE and Beyond

PWNA is committed to standing up for contractors on regulatory issues that impact the industry. One of the most pressing challenges is the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) Small Off-Road Engine (SORE) regulations.

By working closely with regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders, PWNA is ensuring that the voice of contractors is heard and that transitions to low-emission technologies are fair and feasible.

Moving the Industry Forward: PWNA’s Four Pillars

PWNA’s mission is grounded in the following four key pillars that drive our efforts to move the industry forward:

1. Education

Education is the foundation of everything PWNA does. By providing top-notch training and certification programs, PWNA equips members with the knowledge and skills they need to excel. Whether it’s mastering technical processes or understanding business strategies, PWNA’s educational resources empower contractors to grow their expertise and profitability.

2. Networking

PWNA understands the value of connections. Through conventions, roundtables, and events, members can build relationships with peers, share experiences, and solve challenges together. Networking exposes contractors to new ideas, services, and techniques that can enhance their businesses.

3. Compliance

PWNA ensures members stay informed about regulations from OSHA, the EPA, and the DOT. From ladder safety to water reclamation and environmental compliance, PWNA provides guidance to help contractors operate responsibly and avoid costly penalties.

4. Advocacy

PWNA serves as a unified voice for the power washing industry. Whether addressing local regulations or national policies, PWNA advocates for fair treatment and recognition of contractors’ contributions to their communities.
