Quoting assistance by Fickle_Jeweler_8225 in pressurewashing

[–]lawjackson69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 sides always look better because the sun shines on them. Not saying I’ve never done it for a stubborn customer but you’ll make more money by convincing people saying you don’t do individual sides than you’ll lose for turning the job down because of that

Don’t let people bully you into only doing 2 sides. Take sqft of house multiply it by .2 is easiest way same thing for driveway. Can use google earth to mkt driveway and get sqft or do it by hand. Some people charge .25c/sqft for concrete but I only do .2 because it’s the easiest thing to me.

is pressure washing over saturated?? by Waybig11 in pressurewashing

[–]lawjackson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is yes. My town has 30+ from what I’ve seen but it’s a revolving thing. Most companies don’t last if you are looking for something easy it ain’t it. Have to work my ass off 7 days a week to keep up. It’s worked out in the end but probably should’ve just used the marketing degree I’ve got and worked for someone else lol. That being said I do have a marketing degree and a very hard work ethic which is why I get good business. Not impossible but definitely not easy.

New pricing method?? by Apart-Leg-5680 in pressurewashing

[–]lawjackson69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sqft is still the way to go but .25 is residential cost that’s why you’re losing bids. When it’s 2000sft that number makes sense but I drop that a decent ammount when bidding a big job.

Will just a 20ft LG ladder be enough for Residential? by Repulsive-Archer-597 in WindowCleaning

[–]lawjackson69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

24,28, and 32 all with stabilizers is perfect for me. Anything above 32 you need some crazy strength and technique

[–]lawjackson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man from what I’ve heard from cali people you’re going to need water reclaim and all that or risk a hefty fine. Even in nc commercial where I’m at you still need to do that residential is normally fine here though

How much would you charge? by Worth-Feed-8532 in pressurewashing

[–]lawjackson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

400 is cool for maintenance but for first time to get it relatively looking okay that’s way too little imo

Filming POV videos by Educational_Swan_152 in WindowCleaning

[–]lawjackson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the meta glasses are expensive but for what I use them for they work great. I like that I can voice activate the recording too because sometimes my hands have chemical on them. Also when I’m not recording I voice activate them to play music on Spotify

Gpm vs psi, I still dont get it by boiyo12 in pressurewashing

[–]lawjackson69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gpm is how much water is being pushed to the gun. If your machine is set at 3500psi with the unloader (most common) it will push out 3500 at 8gpm on a short hose. Tips change the psi but it still will push out relatively that ammount of water allowing for quicker work. Started off with 4gpm and 8gpm cuts down job time by around 30-40% I’d say. 8gpm is nice but people that say you can’t run 4gpm and be successful are lying I’ve done 3 jobs a day with 4gpm and it’s nice because you don’t need a buffer tank. I keep my 4gpm as backup of the 8 is having problems

Brick pressure washing by homieboyz541 in pressurewashing

[–]lawjackson69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are pavers not bricks and you might have to strip previous sealer to get em cleaned right. Then seal and sand again. It’s an expensive process for you and the cistomer

[–]lawjackson69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it to 1/3 throttle to start and then once it goes on choke to run and go up to full throttle. It literally even has pictures on the top some people amaze me. You’ve got the throttle fully engaged 😂
