Students launch Pro Power Washers

Wellesley-based high school students Sebastian Jadot and Ben Scortino earlier this month started Pro Power Washers.

“The idea came from wanting to start a business that would allow us to be outdoors, stay active, and spend time working throughout our neighborhood,” Jadot says. “We also noticed that trash cans can get pretty dirty and are often overlooked when people clean their homes, so we thought a convenient local trash can cleaning service could be useful. We decided to invest in the equipment ourselves and see if we could build a customer base in the community.”

Jadot relays that they’ve received a good amount of local interest already.

If you could use Pro Power Washers, reach out via their Instagram account or by phone at 339-225-1124.
