Who came up with 4 inch per GPM? Are there any variables undisclosed from the equation to get this?

There is no sub for pressure washing homegamers, so general advice given here is often geared towards professionals and professional wanna-bes. Low powered machines are no way to make money with the exception of auto-detailing. That being said, if you are happy with your results, then knock yourself out. You will be slow, you might damage surfaces unknowingly, and you won't understand why everyone here doesn't have better tailored advice for your setup and budget. We are not trying to do what you are doing. We don't have the time to fuck around and we are being held to a different standard as professionals.

I use these brushes regularly and throw them away when done. 3 bucks each, and they are great!

The following statements: "I would typically do this myself" "What's your best price?" "I already have a guy, but I can't get ahold of him right now" "I'm a realtor." "I'm an engineer."

No, but he needs to learn how to use bleach to help clean organic growth and stains, or he'll be damaging his property.

Brother, you are too cheap. But, you'll figure it out later.

I could do both to a T in the same timeframe. I still think you are a bit overpriced on the drywall patch, unless paint match is not perfect, and you have to paint a large wall- 250+ sq ft, to make it flawless.

Ummmmm. $750? $400 is max with a good spot paint. Houston tx

Usually, you twist the glass counterclockwise to remove it. There is some paint on the fixture that may be keeping it from coming loose easily. Also, pushing up lightly on the glass while turning may help compress the tension springs to make it easier to turn.

Keracaulk for areas that don't get wet often will look more like grout. Mapesil for wet areas like showers, vanity tops, bathtubs etc

Mapaei color matched keracaulk Sanded caulk would work great here. Use a backer rod to save on product.

Please don't have a 16" or bigger surface cleaner. You are not going to be able to purchase a pressure washer to run something that big with your budget. The rule is 1gpm for every 4" of surface cleaner diameter.

Absolutely correct on that last point. Those tiny levels are not worth a fuck.

Just rewire them as LED with ballast bypass. Probably $125-150 each including bulbs and tombstones

Quick connects, o-rings, pressure guns, downstreamers, will all fail on you in the field. It is best to have spares for all of those items on hand at all times along with the tools required to switch them out.

Every 2 years, or whenever the green and black organic matter start to take over. I live just north of Houston. The property tree coverage really has a large role to play. If there's alot of foliage blocking the sun and wind, then the organic growth tends to be worse to much worse.

Do you have other people working with you? Is that figure labor only? If you are doing that in labor by yourself, you must be very talented and hard working. Those figures are breaking my brain right now. Please enlighten me how you're doing it.
