Hey
My name is Joe and just finished my first year of college as a chemistry major. I want to get into this business because there isn't a lot of businesses doing it in my area. So far i have had a professionally designed logo made, designed an ad for the paper, established the business and got a tax number, and setup a business bank account. I know that i am going to use Monster industries cleaners and a nice pressure washer all from northern tool and equipment. The washer is a unit with a Honda engine, a cat pump with adjustable pressure, rated at 4000psi and 3.5gpm.
First question:
What is all included in a house cleaning was (siding, gutters, roof...) because i was planning on charging anywhere from $0.13-0.20 sq ft ,depending on the variables, for a wash, clean, and wax.
Second question:
I have heard some people talk about when they go to estimate a job, that they do a demo for the customer. So what do they do, bring their power washer with them on bids, spray, apply some chemicals, then WOW and AWE the customer? or can you do it with just a hose?
Third question:
What do you think people will think of a 19 year old without any custom company clothing or logos on his truck? I basically spent all my money with the legal and equipment stuff and don't want to spend anymore until the phones start ringing after the ad goes into the paper ($75 bucks for one week).
I am very knowledgeable about the chemicals, sales. and believe in being professional. I just wont look professional until i can start making some money.
Thanks, Joe
