House Washing Business Tips Provide a top of the line service, unmatched customer service, go above and beyond the call of duty on every house washing job, be honest, and charge as much as you can. The biggest mistake you can do is to start selling on price. Build value, sell benefits...

For a pressure washing contractor, you have to go with the belt drive for efficiency and reliability over the long haul.

Don't you mean businessES?

What kind of pressure washing unit? We primarily use an 8gpm belt driven pressure pro with a hot box. We started with a BE belt driven 4gpm, that was a little work horse and still runs good, but now it's just our back up. Also use a 19" whirl-a-way that has seen a lot of concrete and is...

Pressure Washing Business That's a good idea. First go get some jobs and customers lined up, maybe people you know whom will be understanding of your venture. Only thing I can tell you to expect is that it isn't easy, and that the first few years will be lean ones while you are building a...

That's funny I've always thought cleaning roofs works better on dry hot days. Shingles don't absorb as well on cool cloudy days, and I'm not big on walking on a wet roof more than I have too. That's just me though. The problem is more than likely too weak of mix or old chlorine. That stuff...

My life is worth more than $150! :)

I've owned a BE 4gpm belt driven unit for 3 season's now. It's been a workhorse and still going strong. I'm upgrading to more gpm but I will still use the 4gpm as a second machine. You never get rid of your first..LOL

Pictures of Black Streaks? Pics would help. I'm guessing you might be talking about zebra stripes where you are overlapping each pass. Are maybe you are describing swirl marks in either case try slowing down, see if that helps. What size surface cleaner are you using? What GPM is your...

Doesn't sound like you are washing cars, more like detailing them. There is no fast way to do them by hand with soap. You just need to charge more or fire them. I do a lot but its nothing but spraying them off with water. No soaping or even touching the cars. I do around 150 cars in 3 hours...

Great point Celeste!

If you want to be professional, buy professional equipment, use professional cleaners, use professional methods. Any unit from Home Cheapo, Lowes, or Sam's is NOT professional. Just my 2 pennies

Well said.

Sorry to hear about your situation.

Up until last Aug my site was being hosted by ipowerweb for about $100 a year. Well last Aug my new web hosting company had my domain name transferred from ipowerweb to them, they did all the dirty work and I didn't have to do anything. I never thought anymore about it, until a few days ago I...

Jerry I've got that, don't really want to get involved feeling, in my gut but I will say that IMO bleach doesn't cause furring of the wood. HH bleach is about 3% sodium hypochlorite and wood siding is a vertical surface. I've poured 6% bleach on a deck floor to kill mildew and didn't rinse...
