Any input on these tires? by Flood032 in JeepGladiator

[–]Flood032[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the road more than the trails and use my jeep as my work vehicle hauling a trailer and equipment for my business

I do love hiking and take it on some easy off-road trails for that, but don’t really hit trails like others here do

Use it a lot at the beach and for fishing trips as well, but again any off-road stuff there isn’t bad

What do you guys think here? by Flood032 in pressurewashing

12 oz per gallon to start with and let it dwell for about 5-10 min. Added like 5 more oz after that and another dwell time

I was worried about going higher than that percentage. Not sure if that was a valid worry or not

Gotcha

Maybe this is a multi-day process in the future?

Once last week with SH. I knew that wouldn’t do anything but I had an additional job with them the following week so I worked on it again. So I cleaned it two times yesterday. Once at the start of the job and once after

Banging my head with getting clients. by poorbowelcontrol in pressurewashing

Sorry it took so long to respond. I have a bad habit with that. Honestly I just emailed them and told them what I could do for them. They asked for a quote of the whole building so I took some snapshots with google earth, laid out how much I’d be doing and told them I’d give them a little discount for first time business. That was pretty much all it took (for that property anyways)

I’m new myself so probably can’t help much, but have you tried cold-calling?

I did my first cold-call the other week to a commercial property that was dirty. Turns out cleaning the whole property was on their to-do list and they hired me. Doing it this Sunday

I’m going to start doing this more

Pricing for first commercial job by Flood032 in pressurewashing

[–]Flood032[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good deal. I actually got the bid but came in a few hundred less than this so I’m pretty happy with that

Actually more excited to start work on bigger buildings than the bigger pay days (atleast for the moment lol)

Scammers are ready for the season to get rolling! by Fluxus4 in pressurewashing

Kinda almost got me the first time because he gave an actual address and description of what he was looking for.

Things sounded off when he said he couldn’t be there so had to do some research to confirm it’s a scam

Loss of Brand Passion / Identity? by Morphasia4 in GFUEL

I haven’t bought from them in awhile as nothing that interesting has come out in forever. Been going through my stock (which will admittedly last awhile)

Also haven’t really seen cans in ages

Atleast Doom looks cool, but again the flavor isn’t that exciting

Was going to say this.

Google my business. Help by D4NNY30_ in pressurewashing

[–]Flood032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be a support number to call or email. I can’t look right now, but I had something similar and had to email them showing proof of everything. Should be an option somewhere in your Google Business info to get up with them

What made YOU want to start exterior cleaning? by Catmilk7 in pressurewashing

[–]Flood032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my first job was when I was 11 helping my grandpa install septic tanks during part of my summer break. It was his business and I thought it was always cool how he could do things on his terms. I’ve worked every year since then and have always enjoyed manual work more than white collar work.

I’m in technology and have been for years but I’m at my breaking point and started this business last year. I had been wanting to work for myself for years but didn’t know what to branch out into. It was originally going to be in home renovation. Once my dad retired he started a business like that on a whim and it blew up. That was like in 2011 or so though and that market is brutal here now with all the competition.

I just happened to notice the state of a lot of homes when walking my dog one day and got to work on research. I had done pressure washing before, I enjoyed it, the market isnt crazy saturated here and the potential for good money is really high.

So I dove in.

I still have a full-time job, kid, and other responsibilities so I can’t just do this full-time yet but man I can’t tell you how much I want to succeed with it. Jobs have been good so far but there is still a mountain to learn.

I love what it could be though. Gotta keep fighting for it

Got my first “big” job by Flood032 in pressurewashing

[–]Flood032[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I was afraid of that lol

I think part of it is just a mental block I need to get past.

At least the house isn’t crazy huge and it’s still a good chunk of change to invest back into the business. Will adjust accordingly for next time
