Donna, When I am doing a new type of job, I usually do one for someone (usually family or current clients as a thank you service) and then just keep track of the time it takes. I can fairly accurately estimate the cost by $60/hour. Once you have established a good repore with a client...

I have a client that is going to have his lot redone with new asphalt. Does he need to have it power washed before doing it, or would he just be wasting his money? Thanks for the advice. Scott The Wash Guys New Mexico

I am new, but would love the opportunity to chat live with PW's. Yes, please bring it back.

Caution with cemetary headstones! Glad to see you're up and running. We considered cleaning headstones with our power washer and were fortunate to have a friend in the headstone business that let us practice on some old (unused :) ) ones. The lithochrome pealed out of there so quickly that...

Celeste, The dirty driveway, then the clean driveway photo was impressive. We tried "Citra Clean" powder, but were not happy with the results. Our clean concrete NEVER looks as clean as your "after" picture. We use 300 degree steam and 3500 psi power washing and I thought we were getting...

Thank you Celeste and John, Thank you for the advice. I will steer away from any bleach product and try Oxalic Acid. Celeste: Went to your homepage (nice) and looked at your driveway, before and after photos - impressive. Scott The Wash Guys New Mexico

Thank you everyone for your help. We just got it out of the shop and we had some burnt wiring. Hopefully that was the problem. I will know in a couple of days, when we start using the Landa burner again. If it isn't the problem, I will try your suggestions and may call for more help...

I price at $60/hour Hi - Am brand new at this site, but wanted to let you know that after underpricing several jobs, I find that simply stating that I charge $60/hour for a two man crew, 3500 psi, truck mounted power steam cleaner. If they want an estimate of time, I will give it and ask them...

I started a high pressure steam cleaning business in NM and have problems keeping my burner going. It keeps shutting off. Business is absolutely fantastic, but without the steam, I am stopped cold. Had it in to the shop twice, but still having problems. Any suggestions??
