    Surface Edger

    After watching the youtube video and reading about the Surface Edger on this board and another one, I don"t know if I would ever use it but I may order one to try out. I do a school system with 13 schools that this may would work for. I am currently doing one with about 22,000 sq ft of sidewalk...

    Who's on FaceBook?

    Thanks! Now if I can get my website similar to yours I will be OK. I'm doing it myself but I've about decided I can't do near as good a job as professionals. You know something similar to a home owner washing his own house. Some things are better left to the professionals. Thanks for the like...

    spray flex and gutter cleaning devices

    I use a bucket and ladder method on many homes but also us the curved gutter cleaner with a "T" on it. I screw in two 5.5 15 degree tips and my pressure is cut in half and the wand is easy to handle because the pressure is balanced. The water shoots out both sides and I basically start near one...

    pressure washer advice

    I think I would reconsider buying this and then adding a hot box. If you can buy this for $1000 and a hot box for an 8 gallon machine for a minimum of $2400 that is $3400 before any options you may want to add. An 8gpm machine is nice but for what you want to do a 5.5gpm or even a 4gpm will...

    Do you use contracts?

    I don't use written contracts on residential but do give them a written estimate which spells out what we will do and note any concern areas. I guess this could be considered a contract but I don't get them to sign it. Probably should but never had a problem - yet. I also don't do contracts...

    van or trailer????????????

    I agree with Richard however I have never had a van so my answer is somewhat skewed. I just think the flexibility of a trailer vs a van is more important to me. Of course, I probably treat my set-up more like a van than a truck and trailer. I rarely unhook from the trailer. I have a shop I drive...

    Long Time Reader, First Time Post

    I'm actually about 15 miles North of the Florida line in Valdosta, GA. I generally work from Macon, GA to Tallahassee, FL. I would travel to the Gainesville/Ocala areas but I have never made sales calls down that way. Jacksonville, FL is about 2 hours away as well but just haven't called in that...

    Long Time Reader, First Time Post

    I've been pressure washing part-time since 2003 and full time since 2005. I've been very fortunate and have only had good experiences since I jumped in full time. I primarily do commercial and residential cleaning but have washed silos, football stadiums and various industrial type work. The...
