power wash school, what do you all think?? please help.

[Henry Bockman]

This site does have a lot of information on it... But, in person training or classes are better in my opinion. However, nothing is better than actual experience in the field.

I think kevin is long gone from this trade,the best I can rememeber he didn't last 8 months and I think about to lose everything and his home.

 

[Clean County]

I remember that Kevin. He was like a fire that came and went. You felt for that guy and you hoped he would make it. His fire in the Powerwashing field apparently went out.

 

[Larry L.]

If I remember right he had alot of us feeling sorry for him.

 

[Clean County]

I know I felt bad for the guy and I was really pulling for him to make it. He seemed like he had a ton of weight on his shoulders and very little income to help him afloat. He came across on the bb as a hell of a nice guy. Hopefully he's doing OK where ever he is.

Kevin,
Do you have good common sense? Do you own a home or have a relative that will let you practice on their stuff? If you answered yes to both of those questions and are already here on this great board, then invest the 2000 in equipment. You can practice on your or your relative's home, deck, vehicle, etc. and post questions, or problems you don't understand here. This is how most of us got started. Don't do any jobs for customers untill you get a good understanding and working knowledge of this business or buy some dang good insurance.

Glenn,
For some reason I cannot email you but can you email me info on the school you mention?

Thanks,
Bleemus

Hey bud, I was in your same shoes just a few months ago.. I did a lot of research before I even bought equipment. My suggestions in no particular order are:
1. learn as much as you can via this network and talking to folks. I stayed up late and went by gas stations trying to spot someone actually doing a job. This can be a way in the door just to learn.
2. Learn power washing setup. This can save you big bucks when purchasing your first items and when repairing them as well.
3. Go to several suppliers until you find one you can trust.
4. Make sure when you bid you can show the customer that you can justify your price. big advantage!!!!
5. Set up and write down a plan of action. Make sure you go through it everyday.. Being laxed on a business will sink you..

I wonder what pressure wash school he decided on?

Now days he could attend Doug Ruckers in Houston Texas
