Keep up the great work and videos. I love to see a humble pressure washer on UA-cam. Most pressure washing You Tubers want to sell you training or they are cocky as hell or think they know everything. Keep washing and making that money.
Your videos are awesome, I just found you yesterday and I can't stop watching, I'm just starting out & trying to add this to my very small lawn service, your detail teaching is very helpful to a newbeee like me. Hello & take care from Pittsburgh pa :)
Thanks again Joe! Your doing amazing keep the videos coming! I've got everything setup and did my first cleaning on my grandfather office and he was amazed the way it turned out. He is also a contractor working on universitys and big places so im hoping i can get some cleaning through him as well as good before and after pics on his office they turned out super good. Thanks for all the tips and tricks! Also your very inspiring! Really helps to know how well your doing with the business in such a short amount of time man! Great job!
Thanks Joe. Great video and really appreciate the marketing tips. Have gear....just trying to get rolling here in Atlanta. Going to do a few free jobs in key areas in exchange for sign placements (4 way stops, neighborhood exits, etc). Hopefully that will get the ball rolling.
Best one yet. Wow. You gave me confidence that I can wash a house alone. I usually have my son come help but now I know I can do it alone. Want to ask how you store people information after the job or do you for future call backs for repeat service. Lastly I about died laughing when you spun around to the tripod. I was like wow Joe got a tripod then when you showed it. Hahhaha. Love it! Thank you
Bender Professional Services I’m glad you realize you CAN do it alone. Pretty high tech tripod huh! 😂. I’m old school and keep my list on paper. Maybe crm next season
YOU ARE POSITIVE VIDEO WITH A MATURE PERSPECTIVE, SO I, BEING A OLD BROKEN DOWN RETIRED PERSON JUST TRYING TO ADD SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HELP BOOST INCOME, I APPRECIATE THE INFO YOU PROVIDE AND THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU DO IT., THANK YOU,
Hey Joe. Another great video. Good advice on the marketing. I was wondering your age. I'm 11 years your senior and just really starting out. I've copied your truck layout almost to the nut and bolts except in the truck itself. I have the GMC version. It seems to be working out real good. All the weight up front so it spreads out the weight more evenly. Your videos inspired me to biuld it that way. Made a lot of sense and I'm a mechanic by trade now. Thanks again and keep the videos coming. They take a bunch of time to do but it's appreciated. Wash-on....👍
Jacob N That’s correct. I use about 1 to 2 ounces per gallon for house wash. And about 5 ounces per gallon for my roof wash mix sometimes a little more on the roof wash
Hello from East Lansing, Michigan. Great videos, I like that you are all about the wash and not trying to constantly sell us products or to join paid power washing groups/school etc. Keep it up!! Question, you mentioned that you used to run a 2.5 GPM power washer in your video. I have a 2.5 power washer from Lowes that I am running, trying to build my side business of power washing, I just got a nice 100 foot hose and now I am not drawing a lot of soap . I assume I am using to long of a hose because my 50 foot hose or my combo 75 foot hose pulls a lot more soap. Is there an easy fix to pull more soap with 100 feet of hose or do I need to upgrade to a 4GPM to be able to use the longer hoses? Would a down stream injector help, I am just using the soap injector built into the machine (with a siphon hose to a 5 gal bucket). Anything would help power washing world. Thanks!
@@577buttfan my pressure hose is 3/8...this is the description of the hose that I bought off of Amazon. PEGGAS - 100FT Pressure Washer Hose with 3/8 Inch Quick Connect, High Tensile Wire Braided Power Washer Hose, 4000 PSI
Try using a 100ft 3/8" hose. Has less friction and you can adapt it to your 2.5 pump. And if you get a larger machine you'll already have another chunk of hose. I was getting soap from my 2.5 gpm 3100lb pump (use as a back-up) with the built-in injector. Try it, nothing to lose.....
What’s is your IG feed? Great content really enjoy the advice. I’ll be starting to wash in the Spring up here in the New England area. It’s good to actually see someone working it in the North East area.
Can I ask what you do for your equipment in the Winter? Keep in garage etc? I’m trying to figure out this dilemma (inclosed or open setup) before jumping in on a purchase. Thanks for any input
Hey Joe great stuff. Just to make sure I understand, you 12v washed the first building, but why? Is that because of how bad it was and you were trying to hit it with a stronger mix? Again great stuff!
yourbandsucks2002 yes because I wanted to hit it hot and there was no water on site. Do I made batch at home and had xtra water to rinse with power washer
Powerful Improvements Hi Joe. Thankyou for your videos, I’m trying to get started in this business. Does your equipment take a beating being exposed to the weather? And is there a way you protect it?
@@powerfulimprovements yes. My base is painting. Iv washed 5 or 6 hundred houses. I always use six percent bleach. 2 gal bleach 3 gal water. I want to switch to sc after watching your video. Iv never had a problem but soaking takes much longer. I'm getting older and want to move to more washing than painting. So I want to step up my game.
Greg Tutko I built my set up. If you want to buy a set up all ready to run you would want to contact an online vendor like pressuretek or powerwashstore
Jay Farino It’s sticks with me a little longer. I am using the Xjet to rinse it is High pressure. And does not draw soap.The M5 is a low pressure nozzle that draws soap. And I would have to go back to the truck and turn off the soap in order to use it.
So many hoses so many tanks I've been doing this for 9 years I have 2 65 gallon tanks one bleach one water on a 5x10 trailer Dayton 1hp water booster simple t splitter a ball valve 8feet of vinyl hose to connect two tanks summit reel 200 feet of red 1/2 inch hose plastic Gilmour plastic tip thats it.
@@powerfulimprovements yeah got 4000 psi and BE 17 surface cleaner for all flats but I don't pre treatment usually going slow enough and wet it down with regular hose water ill post treatment with a spray bottle if necessary..Pre treatment to me is asking for trouble since usually driveways pavers ect..I do all flats first no matter what no bleach rusts every thing out hose heels wheels arm bar shit gets everywhere not worth 200 driveway but everyone on UA-cam swares by it..Im the opposite bad habits cause bad decisions can ultimately cost a 2 time a year client..

Hey Joe can you shows how you built that skid platform in your truck? I want to do that. How did you make that side shelf strong enough for 3 reels?
tom leonard there’s a few videos way back that show some. I’ll make one at the end of the season when I break it all down
That would nice. I would like to build an 8’ one I could slide in and out. Thank you Joe!
Hi joe compliments on the humble approach..can I ask how you avoided on the first job, not leaving marks on the asphalt from soap washing on it?
abate1936 thank you! The first job was old asphalt that typically doesn’t have issues and is being replaced this week
