    Dan - I hope it's OK that I post this here.... We're in Raleigh, NC and are looking for an experienced operator interested in growing our businesses together. We've got the tools, the supplies, the marketing and the back office. I need someone who can bring some experience, know how...

    Quickbooks online edition?

    We use it and it works just fine. The biggest downside with it compared to the actual software package is that it won't plug directly into your bank account, but that's no great loss.

    Power Wash Bloopers

    Funny ones. Don't know if I can compete with those but just last week I was up on a 9ft ladder, lost my grip on the nozzle end and the wand spun around my trigger hand - smacked me in the head and knocked me off the dang ladder. While I didn't think it was funny at the time looking back it was...

    Yup - Good advice Trey. You know - I'm not sure how much risk you want take on - but there are very obtainable financing methods for rigs too. The rates are not always the best around, but can be obtained.

    What do I use?

    Going the really EZ - cheap way - mix up some clorox outdoor with a bit of dawn dishwashing detergent. We don't use it, but there are plenty of folks that do who do a fine job. Another - go to home depot or lowes and grab some Zeps all purpose pressure washer detergent. It's pruple and comes...

    equipment

    For concrete and fences you really dont need hot water. Sometimes hot water helps with really greasy concrete, but we have used the heat maybe 1% of the time on concrete. Are you just looking for a portable job like from home depot or are you looking for a tow behind rig or what? The truth is...

    Lol - then for that I am DEFINATELY using my turbo nozzle! Although at 10 paces it may just mist you. :)

    concrete cleaning

    THOSE ARE POSTS FROM 2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE GENIUS!!!!! One suggesting acid - another suggesting NO acid - just turbo nozzle. Gosh - if we just combined two thoughts from two totally different people I'll bet we could come up with all sorts of twists. Geez you are a bright one! C - I concede -...

    Deck Pricing

    Man I posted a similar question in another thread - and am very wary of the pricing. Some say good money is to be made, but when 90% of your billed time seems to be competing with any julio and a paint brush - how can you not run into that? Maybe I am missing something, but I could not...

    Deck Restoration....

    One call - and I assume you just use some orbital sander? Electric? Cordless? How large?

    Deck Restoration....

    5-Star - you mentioned you focused a lot on restoring decks... While we don't do that with PressureForce, I am currently experimenting a bit with my own deck with hopes of having a better looking deck and some ideas on providing the service. 1. Processess... I've cleaned half with Olympic...

    concrete cleaning

    Hey Mark - I'm looking through this thread, and I actually can't find anyone suggesting Acid and a turbo nozzle as you have suggested. Can you please point this out? You obviously have some reading comprehension issues - it is YOU my friend that I hope has the good insurance! Please make...

    concrete cleaning

    hey - I can destroy concrete with a 40 degree tip and my lowes residential unit if I really wanted to! When I make a suggestion it does come with some assumption that you have some sort of common sense and some sort of clue as to what you are doing! Whoever said, "turbo's destroy concrete!" -...

    Would this flyer work in your neighborhood?

    Just to offer a flat price on any one of these services is tricky... Can you imagine HOW many different combinations of scenarios this cat runs into? I would be very surprised if you could do many that your price actually came out anywhere near accurate. Secondly - marketing 101 - it's a bit...

    Extension Wand

    If your chemical tip worked before the xtension pole - I really think it should work after it. Changing tips could make a difference - but I would guess only in the amount of soap or spray angle - not just to get it to work. Are you certain your chemical hose is fully submersed in the...
