🎙️ Episode 32 – Minimum Pricing, Smart Scaling, and Starting Small: Scott Ziegler of ProTech Pressure Wash
In this episode of Through the Noise, I sit down with Scott Ziegler, a Detroit firefighter and pressure washing business owner who built a profitable service business by starting small, reinvesting wisely, and learning through experience. Zig shares how he went from a basic Home Depot setup to running multiple trucks and employees, all while keeping debt off the table.
But this conversation goes deeper than equipment and tactics — we explore the lessons that actually matter:
- How setting a minimum price protects your time and your team.
- Why underpricing early creates long-term ceilings.
- The truth about efficiency vs. quality, and why equipment doesn’t change value.
- How to grow using business money only, not loans or shortcuts.
- Why branding and professionalism matter from day one.
- Lessons from failure, confidence, and charging more without regret.
If you’re building a service business and want to grow without burning yourself out or racing to the bottom on price, this episode will challenge how you think about value and growth.
