Build Your Own Laser Cleaning Service Business
Become a Clean Laser Technologies Certified Service Provider
Industrial companies across the country are looking for faster, cleaner and more efficient ways to remove rust, paint, grease, oxidation and other contaminants. As a Clean Laser Technologies Certified Service Provider, you can bring this advanced surface-preparation technology directly to customers in your market.
This is not a franchise or traditional dealership program. You own your equipment, operate your own independent business and develop your own customer relationships.
Why Businesses Are Moving to Laser Cleaning
Traditional surface-preparation methods often require abrasive media, chemicals, water, extensive masking, cleanup and waste disposal. Laser cleaning offers an efficient alternative that can reduce labor, consumable costs, environmental impact and production downtime.
Depending on the machine, material and application, laser cleaning can provide several important benefits:
- Removes rust, paint, grease, oxidation, coatings and other contaminants
- Eliminates the need for blasting media and many harsh chemicals
- Produces very little secondary waste
- Reduces cleanup and disposal requirements
- Provides precise control over the area being cleaned
- Can clean difficult shapes, corners, welds and detailed components
- Helps preserve the underlying material when the proper equipment and parameters are used
- Can prepare metal surfaces for welding, coating, inspection or restoration
- Can be performed at a customer’s facility with properly controlled safety procedures
- Reduces dependence on consumables because the primary operating requirement is electricity
- Can help customers reduce downtime and return equipment to service faster
These advantages create opportunities in markets where conventional cleaning methods are too slow, too disruptive, too expensive or too damaging to the underlying surface.
Serve Multiple Industries
Laser cleaning is not limited to one type of customer. Certified Service Providers can pursue work across a wide range of commercial and industrial markets, including:
- Manufacturing and industrial maintenance
- Oil and gas facilities
- Marine vessels and shipyards
- Heavy equipment and agricultural machinery
- Automotive and equipment restoration
- Power generation and utilities
- Rail and transportation
- Bridges and infrastructure
- Welding and fabrication shops
- Municipalities and government facilities
- Aerospace and defense
- Historic metal and architectural restoration
Every market has different needs. Some customers may need routine rust removal, while others may require paint stripping, weld preparation, mold cleaning, equipment maintenance or surface preparation before recoating.
Clean Laser Technologies helps providers understand which machine and laser technology are appropriate for the applications they plan to pursue.
Multiple Ways to Generate Income
A Certified Service Provider is not limited to performing laser-cleaning work. Working with Clean Laser Technologies can create three distinct income opportunities.
1. Laser Cleaning Service Income
Your primary income opportunity comes from providing laser-cleaning services to commercial and industrial customers.
Typical service rates may range from approximately $125 to $300 per hour, depending on the machine being used, the type of contamination, project difficulty, location, safety requirements and the value provided to the customer.
Providers may also price work by:
- The hour
- The day
- The project
- The square foot
- The component or piece
- A recurring maintenance agreement
Many customers are less concerned with the hourly rate than with the total value of the service. Reducing downtime, eliminating abrasive cleanup, avoiding chemical disposal and preventing damage to an expensive component can make laser cleaning extremely valuable.
You control your schedule, pricing, service area and customer relationships.
2. Paid Machine Demonstration Income
Many prospective customers want to see laser cleaning performed on their own materials before purchasing a machine or approving a larger cleaning project.
Certified Service Providers may have opportunities to conduct professional, paid demonstrations for companies in their region. These demonstrations can generate immediate income while introducing prospective customers to the capabilities of laser cleaning.
A demonstration may include:
- Reviewing the customer’s application needs
- Testing the customer’s sample material
- Demonstrating different cleaning parameters
- Comparing the cleaned and uncleaned surfaces
- Explaining safety and operating requirements
- Helping determine which CLT machine best fits their application
- Discussing expected production rates and potential return on investment
3. Machine Lead and Referral Income
Some customers will prefer to purchase their own laser-cleaning machine instead of continuing to outsource the work.
When a Certified Service Provider identifies a qualified customer and introduces that opportunity to Clean Laser Technologies, the provider may earn referral income when the lead results in a completed machine sale, subject to the terms of the CLT referral program.
Clean Laser Technologies handles the machine consultation, application review, proposal, production, delivery and training process. The Service Provider helps establish the relationship and may assist with demonstrations and local customer support.
This allows you to benefit from machine opportunities without carrying inventory, becoming a dealer or assuming the expenses associated with a traditional sales territory.
Demonstrations can also lead to machine sales.
Work Directly With the Manufacturer
One of the greatest advantages of becoming a CLT Certified Service Provider is having a direct relationship with the company that builds, tests, services and supports the equipment.
You are not purchasing a machine from an online reseller that disappears after the sale. Clean Laser Technologies operates an assembly, service and training facility in Jackson, Mississippi.
Working directly with CLT provides access to:
- Machine-selection guidance based on your target applications
- Professional operator and laser-safety training
- Application testing and parameter development
- Direct technical support
- Replacement parts and service assistance
- Warranty support
- Software and operational guidance
- Troubleshooting from people who understand the machine
- Ongoing opportunities for additional training
- Assistance evaluating prospective customer applications
- Marketing materials and educational resources
- Potential demonstration and machine-referral opportunities
Our goal is not simply to sell you a machine. We want to help you understand the technology, operate safely and develop a successful laser-cleaning service business.

Clean Laser Technologies machines are assembled, integrated, tested and supported in the United States using domestic and globally sourced components.
