@@Davids_Life345dont worry about what you charge that is stupid, make sure you make a profit. If you can charge 100 and make money then do it, then slowly move the price up as you get better equipment and do more.
@@Davids_Life345 No one goes to the Kia dealer looking to spend Mercedes money, but loads of people go to the Mercedes dealer looking for Kia prices and waste the Mercedes dealer's time. They are both cars, just different branding. Brand yourself and act like a true pro and demand pro prices. Cheap jobs are the most picky, terrible, condescending, demanding customers you will ever encounter and they usually are the same idiots that enjoy leaving negative reviews as a hobby.
Real question if I’m the 99$ guy just starting out I have a lot of experience about 3 years with a local company I recently got 2 4,000 psi washers with the Honda 390 ofc I don’t want to forever me the 99$ but what I’m asking is to get into it for even a month or 2 doing smaller jobs just wanted advice I’ve always just done the work never actually got the jobs or clients was thinking going door to door and trying aswell as leaving flyers and making a instagram/ TikTok to promote
Charging a little low or giving out crazy deals starting off can actually help you because you can gain more customers that way so that you can get your name out there and get word of mouth going, it’s small sacrifices like that starting off that can actually help you in the future to gain more money
this helped me a lot down to earth , subbed you bro I plan on starting my own pressure washing business here in Australia got my equipment been watching nearly every pressure washing video you really helped heaps mate
Hey man I seriously thought this channel had 1 million subs I checked after and saw you have 3k!!! You are definitely professional, thank you for the tips I will now binge your videos so I start my own power wash or maybe just use your tips in general business. Thanks 🤙
I'd want to know at least roughly how well I could book leads before spending on marketing. I'd probably target local property management, landscaping, painting companies etc before spending on 3rd party marketing. Once I had some running experience I'd definitely be looking to spend for digital marketing though!
Thank you! I hope you or your Team sees this. This was very helpful. I'm researching the business and I never thought about it Failing. It just never crossed my mind. My question, if you ever see this, is if I were to start with a rented Compressor from Lowes or Home Depot what all would I need to do Driveways ONLY? What Chemicals, Hoses, size Compressor and anything else I would need on a Shoe string budget???
Well said, charisma goes a long way, but you must have the skill and confidence to back it up, You seem to have it, New sub, Thanks for taking the time ✊
Well, I did a roof with a 4-gallon Hudson sprayer. I charged $600.00, and it took way too long, but the job got done, and I got paid. I also upsold cleaning the gutters for additional funds.
I guess their mindset is that they might come from a career where they were earning minimum wage or a bit higher and figure they can do a driveway or house, be there an hour and charge $45 dollars or $99 for maybe a couple hours thinking $45 an hour is good pay, not considering operating costs and what competitors are charging. So they end up under charging and failing as a result.
My retirement plan is to start an outdoor maintenance business including lawn care and pressure washing using equipment I already own. I would not need to buy anything. I have a 2700psi washer, Toro walk behind, Stihl Trimmer and chainsaw, a blower, shovels, rakes, brooms and a truck to haul it in. I can add a stander zero turn later, and rent a cherry picker locally for bigger jobs.
@@Tristan.Kalina thanks. Right now I’m about 18 months away from retirement, but I might start trying to run it as a side hustle before then. If I set up a DBA, I can transfer ownership on paper of the equipment, and Schedule C the a portion of my mortgage interest, property taxes, utilities etc until I can establish a proper business location. I ran a photography business like this for a few years, and we run my wife’s data mining business this way. There’s quite a tax benefit there.

I'm not in the business (yet), but I've been researching it quite a lot and since it's been 10 days, I'll jump in with what I've learned. If you're in a northern area, then yes, it's more seasonal - especially for residential work. Otherwise, as long as it's above freezing, you're good to go. Like I'm thinking of back when Iived in the DC area, if there was snow/ice and salt and sand was used, there will be lots of dirty cars and trucks. So if it's back above freezing, there will be all sorts people with nice vehicles who will not want to go to a regular car wash. Maybe add that service (mobile detailing) for when it's slower.
Greetings from Filthy Force Pressure Cleaning down here in south Florida! Our business is currently in its infancy. We have our equipment and about to finalize our door hangars and flyers before we order them. My biggest issue is figuring out a vehicle since my truck literally just took a shit! 😅
I've been in the pressure washing game for 40 years now but I've not been self employed but worked for government departments. Started off cleaning railway diesel locomotives where you sit on a stool with four wheels underneath the locomotive where you wear a one piece thick PVC suit to keep you dry using a hot pressure washer at 95 degrees and peel the grease and dirt off. The loco over you is revved up because on each axle are electric traction motors and there are 6 of them (250K each) and the traction motor blower keeps the traction motor cool and stops the water from the pressure washer getting into them and stuffing them permanently. The fuel tank on a road car or truck is tiny in comparison to diesel locomotives which can hold over 21K litres of diesel and if any dirt gets into the fuel tank that too has to be pressure cleaned and it's not easy for the tank is compartmentalised and only has small access holes on the sides and bottom. The diesel engine itself was cleaned using a pressure washer and some diesels engines were inside a car body so a long lance couldn't be used because it was impossible to get it between the cylinders which are the diameter of a side plate so a short 300-400mm lance was used. I now work for local government cleaning BBQ's and surface cleaning park pathways and walkway areas outside shops.
@@Tristan.Kalina Along came Covid and loads of people got laid off work and many businesses never restated again but being a public servant we never got laid off. One bloke said I was a bastard because I kept my job and he didn't. I retorted well if you got a job in the public service you'd still have a job. He said oh I don't want to work for the government so I said then stop complaining that you're unemployed then. The public service here is hard to get into but once in and you have a job for life. It's almost impossible to get fired from the public service. Unlike America being a full time employee I get 6 weeks paid holiday leave each year + 3 weeks paid sick leave which can accrue if I don't take it and I now have 54 weeks of paid sick leave accrued. Being in Australia we also get long service leave which is more paid time off in addition to holiday leave. It can accrue too and I have 33 weeks of long service leave accrued. All employers here have to provide that to full time employees. Casual employees get the time off for long service leave, sick days and holidays but aren't paid for it. To compensate them they get a much higher rate of pay. But in business downturns the casuals are the first out the door.
@@AussiePom fantastic gig, if you can get it! Our government (US) jobs are similar, but with less paid vacation. It's the tortoise vs hare. My parents and sister were public sector, while my brother and I went the corporate route. We have earned considerably more in a given year, or span of years, but we're both out of work, and it's not the first time. Meanwhile, parents and sisters have never missed a paycheck, and receive their pension. They came out way ahead. My sister is consulting back with the govt, so that money is added to her pension! Ugh, if I had it to do over...
@@stratolestele7611 It was the same with pandemic lock downs where many people lost their jobs whilst we government workers went to work and kept ours. We gave the public toilet cleaners a hand because although some had the virus even in lock down people were still allowed out to go shopping and the toilets still got dirty. Many private sector people were complaining about government workers like us keeping our jobs but I said to one bloke "well that's your fault mate you should have gotten a job with a government department then you wouldn't be out of work". Private companies can run out of money but governments don't because they have an endless line of credit called taxpayers.
Either adapt or fail. If area is near border for instance, you may have to lower prices starting for a long time, maybe just to break even. Just facts... nothing comes free or easy unless you have parents or family that have already worked for it and help you. Just because it's made in America insured registered with great equipment. Dosent mean everything. Case and point, how many people buy Walmart or China ,claim they buy America but drive a foreign car. It NO different with service for a large % of people. And to break into the small % that will pay more for higher grade of service. You will have a long road. Or have to pay a lot upfront for lead and advertising services. Leads take and eat up the most money and time to aquire. Nothing realy comes free
Mostly what I see in so many house washing videos is the lack of detailed work. I have yet to see anyone push window screens up and brush the glass and clean out window sill. I see people touting 20-30 minute house washing....Too me,.that is why they don't last....Shitty work ethic. Some people only clean gutters with house wash mix,..That wouldn't cut it with me,..they need brightened with a butyl based cleaner. The customer doesn't really have a say,..It is part of my house wash,...(Not gonna leave them dull and dirty)....All concrete sidewalks and patios are done automatically,...I give one price and they know what they're getting,..that picking and choosing of what to clean is for the birds....(Aside from roofs and deck cleaning),..But those are separate services altogether...Washing since 1996...
If gutter brightening, all concrete is part of your ONLY price. Respectfully, you’re doing it wrong. My buddy went out of business by doing that. Packages are how you increase your average ticket.
@@Tristan.Kalina I don't think people like to feel like they're being "nickeled and dimed" into extra cost for services that should already be included on a house wash. They called to have things cleaned up...Look at it like this,..the price would be the same if it was itemized or priced all inclusive. I'm not doing the gutters and concrete for free,...I'm just not giving the option,...They want things looking nice,.and so do I....
@@Tristan.Kalina And my bet is your buddy went out of business due to other circumstances....Watching alot of these videos on here I can see why many people don't make it....Not enough attention to detail and washing as fast as they can to collect a check and move on to the next job. Multiple repeat customers is the main goal at the end of five years...I doubt he was performing the work that satisfied the customer,..not the way it was priced....
@@RaystownPressureWashing-1996cool, There’s always innovative ways to do things better. Presenting just one price is doing a disservice to your customer base. Increase ticket and produce a magnificent experience with results and you’ll have retaining customers.
I am not trying to relate to the customer. I am not trying to learn about their family and all that other stuff you mentioned. If I hire you to do a job and you try to "relate" to me you will probably never hear from me again. Just do your fkn job. I am not saying you can't follow the customers lead and have a conversation if they initiate it, but most people aren't gonna want the help getting involved in their business. I'd be thinking you're casing me for a late night job lol. Just do your fkn job and be polite.
When you understand the customer it equates to more trust. And those conversations stick. More likely for word of mouth, more likely for repeat business. Customer service will always be important.
Please put on your proper PPE such as safety glasses , gloves and a respirator as your spraying chemicals. It’s disappointing for you not to mention safety first. People will follow you and will hurt themselves
I know I have a high quality service. From the marketing, to the quote, to the follow up sequence, to the communication, to the service, to the whole experience. Confident in it
@Tristan.Kalina I do go that low for returning customers. When I say average I mean like 2000sqft for me for houses and it's just the usual clean outside around the house. For me usually takes about two hours and I'm done. I'll do three a day in the summer usually, But I really get a lot of big jobs because a days worth of work the competition charges over 1k easy mine around $540 for 8hrs.
I cleaned a house/ mansion today that was dirty. great info fellow soft washer….. YOU ROCK

I'd be thinking you're casing me for a late night job lol. Just do your fkn job and be polite.
When you understand the customer it equates to more trust.
And those conversations stick.
More likely for word of mouth, more likely for repeat business.
Customer service will always be important.
I charged 100 bucks, after networking Im charging at least 300 now for a side hustle
Please put on your proper PPE such as safety glasses , gloves and a respirator as your spraying chemicals. It’s disappointing for you not to mention safety first. People will follow you and will hurt themselves
silly af, you start with what you got and build. even if its a dogshit electric.
Qld
U charge high so they think you’re high quality lol
I know I have a high quality service.
From the marketing, to the quote, to the follow up sequence, to the communication, to the service, to the whole experience.
Confident in it
I can assure you cheap prices come with cheap results. That is why there’s a difference between a big Mac and a five star gourmet chef cooked burger….
@@Thetruthhurtstrump2024 I know that’s why I said it
This is the worse pressure washing I've seen. you don't know wtf you're doing, and it shows.
Lol.
Worst*
Real Talk!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
90hr average house is $180 been in business for 4 years
Same, and average house is not 150
@Tristan.Kalina I do go that low for returning customers. When I say average I mean like 2000sqft for me for houses and it's just the usual clean outside around the house. For me usually takes about two hours and I'm done. I'll do three a day in the summer usually, But I really get a lot of big jobs because a days worth of work the competition charges over 1k easy mine around $540 for 8hrs.
