I keep seeing this book online. Has anyone read it? Is it worth the money? Better yet, does anyone have a copy they want to get rid of?

Cool, thanks!

I understand the risk of going into this business as a sole porprietor, but I just read some information that says that my state may not recognize or allow single member LLCs. If I can't form an LLC then I imagine SP is the only viable option for me. Are there any sole proprietors here in the PW...

Cool, Thanks a lot Scott. Is that a typo? that is walnut cracker not walnu cracker, right? Celeste, I totally agree with you. I am a hands on learner myself. My plan is to spend about $1500 on a pressure washer in the next month and practice with it on my house, fence, driveway, and anything...

No suggestions? [hello]

Which trade journals do you subscribe to?

I am looking for a comprehensive pressure washing training package preferably in an online or print format. I have found one online for $350 which covers powerwashing, marketing, Power Washer's guidebook, power washer maintenance, buyer's guide, and training videos. Has anyone taken this...

I live in NM where the winters are fairly mild so I think I could probably stay in business all year. Is a season absolutely necessary or do you guys just prefer seasonal work? Could you stay busy through the winter doing kitchen hoods or something? Do you cancel your Liability...

Thanks guys! That is encouraging information. My goal would be to start on my house to gain experience with stucco and cedar fences and then break into the market with cedar fence restoration. If I stay busy enough next year with that and then work my way into other areas of the business then...

How much experience did you have when you got started with your own PW business?

Thanks for the posts guys. Good tips!

Thanks again Celeste. I have no idea what I would be using as far as bleach or no bleach. I'm just trying to figure out the most efficient way with the best results so I have an idea how long it will take and how much it will cost. I think I'll go to a local PW supplier and get a tutorial from...

Thanks Celeste! Say I have a poorly maintaned (greying) 200 ft. long fence X 5 ft. tall and I need to clean and seal one side. Do I need to bleach and rinse it in 10 ft. to 20 ft. sections so the bleach doesn't dry? After the fence is bleached and rinsed, how long do I have to let it dry...

How long does a cedar fence take to clean and seal? Say I have a poorly maintaned (greying) 200 ft. long fence X 5 ft. tall and I need to clean and seal one side. Do I need to bleach and rinse it in 10 ft. to 20 ft. sections so the bleach doesn't dry? After the fence is bleached and rinsed, how...

Cool, you beat me to my own question! LOL

Thanks for the replies. Mark, Can you regulate the pressure that the pump puts out, or is your only option to use larger, less restrictive tips in order to reduce operating pressure? Celeste, I probably wouldn't have to actually be in the neighbors yard in most cases, but I would...

Ideal fence setup? Need tips to get started. I am considering the PW business so I am trying to learn as much as I can before I begin. I would like to start a side business and concentrate on cedar fences to begin with and then move on to other specialties as I gain experience. I would love to...

Hi all, I have been lurking and learning for a few days on PWN and I'm amazed by the information and knowledge provided. I am considering entering the field on a part time basis to begin with. I have 3-4 days off per week with my current job. I should be able to spend as much as two or three...
