@Tommy Fischer I have an extremely large company. I'm age 63 with 12 employees. Custom multi million dollar homes. Decks , Painting, and washing . Your now blocked little boy. No need to hear your pathetic reply
@Austin Davis I have your phone number stupid. When you call me buddy , I know you have sensitivity issues. You'll learn youngster. I have 6 commercial trucks , 12 employees and a receptionist and bookkeeper. You'll get there someday
@@mikeaustin1323 an attitude like that is honestly pathetic. This guy actually took the time to show us a day in his life because he cares about his community.
SH isn’t to be used on limestone. I’ve noticed that most in the industry are not researching the different types of stone they are cleaning. Look this up if you don’t believe me. Homemade solutions and steam cleaning are two other cleaning methods to avoid. The most common homemade hacks - vinegar, lemon and baking soda - are all very acidic and will damage limestone. Bleach should also be avoided; whilst it is alkaline, rather than acidic, it is still too harsh for natural stone….
Most people will trade a slightly damaged surface of a stone that looks clean and brand new over a stone caked with gloeocapsa magma. Pre-wetting also diminishes the tiny amount of damage that SH could cause
I made sure to read through the comments to make sure no one else asked. You like the ground force, but have you tried the mini mondo? I have a 8gpm and debating between the ground force and mini mondo.
I used gold assassin. Still a good product. And I didn’t switch, like I said I like to try different degreasers out there. They are all mostly the same anyway. And no don’t buy anything south east softwash.
have you actually tried limestone cleaner, i use to sell limestone products at a mill and would have folks come in a buy legit lime stone cleaners.may be a option to look at.
Austin great video. I just came across your stuff and will be checking it all out. Would you ever have a call to talk about everything needed to get started?
Absolutely mind blowing... Dude makes 2,000 in half a day. Meanwhile I make 1,400 every 2 weeks as a security supervisor. What have I been doing with my life? Lol. Truly inspiring!
@@AustinDavis24 Lol OMG that's funny, even more fuel for the fire! Question for you if you have the time to answer. Getting the equipment won't be a problem but what did you do for your first vehicle? I only have a Honda Civic to my name... Did you buy a truck from the get go, or did you have one on hand ready to go? Loving the channel by the way!
@@justinmorgan4568 I see people that only have a bike and make it work. Make a trailer for your civic, buy a hammy down. You can make it work. I bought my dads old truck from him
Hey Austin previous video you mentioned commercial work is usually a lot cheaper but in this video you seemed to have priced it pretty high, how did you determine what to charge on these jobs?
Hey Austin! I have watched a ton of your vids, and I am actually meeting with a potential client tomorrow for a commercial job. I was wondering if you have any tips to prepare for proposal meetings?
Where do you get those multi gallon water buckets for chemicals and do you fill them up every day or store the chemicals for days or longer at a time? Curious if the chemicals can eat through the containers after some time or those containers can hold it indefinitely.
What up Austin, good vid bud thanks for the degreaser tip 👍 I live in CTX and was wondering if your staying busy throughout these last couple months? I see that it wasn’t the best weather and you we’re still out working! Is this still a good market to start? I’m in the early stages but going to give it a go no matter your answer, just wanted to hear your thoughts…keep on keepin on brother!!
@@AustinDavis24 so after you wash with 6% SH and rinse , you go over it with a 3% SH pump sprayer and leave it on ?? Can you mix with a little soap too , for smell?? Thx Bud 😎🤙🏾
Hey Austin are the bulk of your customers comings from ads? Could you give me a rough %? I’m getting 2-3 jobs per week as a solo guy, and I’m wondering how the return is on running ads. Also thanks for doing these for us new guys.
@@RelaxingMeditationSoundsandBac my first year all my sales came from door knocking. I hit every single middle class or better neighborhood in my town. Now every customer is from referrals or an already existing customer. Haven’t knocked on doors in a a little under a year or so. I’m trying to get to that next level and go from 5 to 6 figures. I’m going into my second year now and currently run zero ads. I’m thinking it’s a necessity in order to make the good bucks.
@@AustinDavis24 thanks for the reply. I meant for the flats, when you washed the concrete paths, after you're done with the surface cleaner you post treat, do you rinse that or no?
@@AustinDavis24 awesome thank you. One last question, do you have a video or do you ever talk about protecting vegetation? From what I saw in your video of the big mansion, plastic was used for the expensive trees and you seemed to have one guy just soaking the vegetation with water, I think?. Is this something you ever worry about on jobs?
@@jjgionet1735 Its something to take into account. If you have alot of delicate plants around then it would be wise to ether cover them or keep them wet
Efflorescents is essentially lime stone. The effloresents products are high acidity designed to desolve. This looks like limestone and should not be treated with acid. Hell, it shouldn't even be treated with bleach either.
@@TaintedNate your right I bought them. You got me… I posted this video yesterday lol… not everyone has to watch the video. Go on my channel and filter by most popular. Got plenty of videos over 50k views, 300k views and even over a million.

Nice Congratulations buddy. Cant wait till I get there but working on it
Nice!! Congrats! Howd you land it?
@@danielxrivera1333 he actually called me off of a business card a few months back when i just started, must have left it on his door
Do you need any commercial insurance or license to do commercial jobs?
@@hosttcs2 thats awesome! Congrats!! Keep it going🙌🏽
I started a month half ago in nyc. I offer store fronts, homes and commercial.
What do you do about water reclamation? Isn’t it illegal to let the water run off into the drains?
What brand of rust removers and degreasers do you recommend as I build my first softwash skid
You can get all of that from F9 products
Whisper wash is the only brand surface cleaners I’ll buy. Just picked up a big guy today
Great video Austin, really appreciate the info and pricing. Thanks for taking the time to put this together ……

Been watching your videos for a minute. What size tips do you use with a 8gpm?
I always have to use pressure on that stuff. I’ve tried 12% but end up using pressure and it turns out fine
I made sure to read through the comments to make sure no one else asked. You like the ground force, but have you tried the mini mondo? I have a 8gpm and debating between the ground force and mini mondo.
Never tried mini mondo. I really love the ground force
What product was ü using before f9 ? Switching and why?? Thoughts on south east soft wash I think there called own products like southern drawl??
I used gold assassin. Still a good product. And I didn’t switch, like I said I like to try different degreasers out there. They are all mostly the same anyway. And no don’t buy anything south east softwash.
Hello Austin , were did you get your proportioner , softwash system at because it I like the numbers on yours .
All F9 is amazing.
have you actually tried limestone cleaner, i use to sell limestone products at a mill and would have folks come in a buy legit lime stone cleaners.may be a option to look at.
Austin great video. I just came across your stuff and will be checking it all out. Would you ever have a call to talk about everything needed to get started?
Hi @Austin Davis where did you get your shirts? Are they bleach resistance?
Yea they are. From finprint
What do you use for post treatment?
For the flat work, what percentage was used for the post treatment? Came out flawless 👍🏽👍🏽
3-4%
So you didn’t hit any of the first building with pressure? Only bleach and rinse, or just bleach and let the bleach sit without rinsing?
You've been doing this 5 years and never ran into efflorescence? Happens when roofs drain onto brick and where sprinklers hit it.
Absolutely mind blowing... Dude makes 2,000 in half a day. Meanwhile I make 1,400 every 2 weeks as a security supervisor. What have I been doing with my life? Lol. Truly inspiring!

Hey Austin previous video you mentioned commercial work is usually a lot cheaper but in this video you seemed to have priced it pretty high, how did you determine what to charge on these jobs?
This job was not priced high when you think about the total SQFT and the amount of services included. These guys got a discount.
@@AustinDavis24 thanks for the reply
You land the job by working through a property manager or someone at the bank?
Ok new to all this. What chemicals do you use? And what chemicals is for post treatment?
Hey Austin! I have watched a ton of your vids, and I am actually meeting with a potential client tomorrow for a commercial job. I was wondering if you have any tips to prepare for proposal meetings?
Where do you get those multi gallon water buckets for chemicals and do you fill them up every day or store the chemicals for days or longer at a time? Curious if the chemicals can eat through the containers after some time or those containers can hold it indefinitely.

Anytime is a great time to start. The point is you just need to start. There is no perfect time. The perfect time was yesterday
@@AustinDavis24 thanks for the reply and your right, there’s no better then the present 😉
On the last project was any hot water used in conjunction with the degreaser or was it cold water?
No hot water!! Just degreaser
Great job
Efflorescence southeast soft wash sell a chemical just for that called eflo go
How much would you mark up to take care of mold
Would you pre-wet if its very hot out? Sun baking say on the side of a house?
Who do you contact for commercial jobs like banks and gas stations?
Do you have a company that does your advertising?
I have a website company that handles my website. That’s it

What kind of pressure washing gun do you use?
I’m curious to know what the profit margins are from the 2k+ you made in this video
Is purple power really good for degreaser?
What is a good post treatment for the concrete ??

Also saved this one, got lots of useful stuff.
As someone who just started out as well, do YOUR clients come from ads?

Never used it. Heard good things

Great video, love learning on your channel. Question, the 3-4% post treatment, does it get rinsed or not?
Thank you

For the building washing? No it Dosent get rinsed. The roof cleaning does get rinsed for metal roofs.

2 gallons to 8 gallons is a “little” shy of 50/50?
Yea so I can’t find that part of the video but it depends on the strength of whatever chemicals you’re using or it’s also flow which makes it 50/50 👍
