Thanks for all the videos and content you keep putting out man. I've been watching your stuff for a while under my normal UA-cam account and have been motivated by your page to grow the pressure washing side of the business I'm still trying get up and going. I just started a new UA-cam page for my business stuff and will be trying to grow it. Thanks again for your content bro! Hustle hard and make that money!!
UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
The overalls for those that do not know, are fishing waders. There are 3 main types, Hip, Waist, and Chest,(overalls) the pair depicted in the video are Chest waders and those are the most popular as they provide the most protection. Waders are also made out of different materials, the type in the video is Neoprene, which is extremely durable, has a bunch of stretch, is all around tough, but has zero breathability and should be used for colder temps like mid to late fall-winter, and very early spring. They also make breathable waders, composed of Nylon and Polyester and those are extremely lightweight, super breathable, and are great for warmer weather. They can also be used for colder temperatures if you wear an insulating moisture wicking base layer. Typically the cheaper options of both will have the rubber boots built in for the chest high (overalls)suits, whereas the more expensive pairs will either cut off below the ankle, or will have neoprene booties, built onto the foot portion. You may also purchase those booties separately. Hope this helps anyone who may have been interested, or had questions regarding the waders.
OMG I just recently got a surface cleaner for a few jobs I had. I don’t wash full time but DAMN!! I had to shut off and restart the pressure washer 500 damn times to switch back n fourth! I’m getting a shut-off valve! I don’t know why I didn’t think of it after the third fourth or tenth time! Thanks
Just want to say thanks man. I really found this and several of your other videos to be very helpful. Who says on old dog can’t learn from the young dogs. You da man bruh! 🤙🏾
You really make the best videos on this topic. I need to pull the trigger on it. Good easy cash and I like to clean shit up! Just need a price list and flyers. I have everything else.
Gabe Mota it honestly depends. A 10ft extension is an awesome short cut and a lot easier the hauling a ladder around the house. However sometimes it’s not quite long enough, like on some two story houses you need that extra footage.
Justin, has the 2,500psi been strong enough for all the jobs you have done? Other "channels" have recommended 3,100 or more. Your answer will be a great help to me. I don't want to spend more money on the higher psi models if its just overkill.
Your pressure washing videos have got me thinking about doing the same. Do you think you could possibly make a video about how you come up with your rates and or how much to charge for a job
I have a couple of different videos on the channel of me using the equipment but I might have to do a hook up video on the future Thank you for your comment
Amazing man and thanks for the tips. I just really enjoy watching your videos, watching you grind to get it is amazing. Keep the hussle. The grind don't, the paper stay green, and the lion keep rawing.💪💪👍
Can u do a video with the complete set up shown like attaching everything together and then start pressure washing. I’m a newbie to this stuff. I’ve been pressuring washing my own property for forever. I have a ton of concrete and I live in an area that is warm humid and rains during spring and fall so I always get algae build up and the concrete gets slick and dangerous. It’s a big job especially when I am only using the spray attachments that come with the pressure washer. I really need to upgrade to a surface cleaner. I wanna invest in good products so it will last a long while. But it looks like you have to purchase what u need piecemeal?
Hey Justin great easy video definitely going to start this as a side hustle and see how it goes! I do have a question what about the chemicals you would recommend for beginners ? What do you recommend and where can you go to get those chemicals? and if you mix stuff, etc Thank you
Thanks for addressing the “can I use the customers water” question. One more question about that: what if the customer has well water? Fully emptying a well can cost $5k+ for the customer. What do you do in that situation?
@@brunoanyakudo2762 I live in the country with a well and pressure wash my house every year. A good well shouldn't be a problem. If it's in an area with obviously bad water then I wouldn't do it.
@@brunoanyakudo2762 because well water contains chemicals that have not been through a filtration system. When you use well water you're basically using dirty toxin to clean a driveway and God forbid it gets on the customers grass or stays on the surface and it either kills their grass, or customer inhales it and gets seriously sick. I can't remember the exact ingredients in well water but I wouldn't use any water treatment that hasn't been through a filtration system. Remember you're trying to clean the driveway, not make it worse
Things you may have forgotten. 1) chemicals 2) appilcator How much times does bleach (Sodium hypochlorite) save? Is it cheap enough and saves enough time to make it worth spending the few extra bucks. 3) eye protection 4) breathing mask
Fantastic clear video. Thank you. Any chance of doing a videos on what chemicals you recommend for certain jobs. Like black spots, oil stains, moss etc please
I seen ur vid about not needing any chemicals wen doin a driveway or sidewalks etc... but if u do , how careful should you be when usin bleach near the grass?? Great vid my guy
hi there, great info. do you have insurance for the business incase some happens or you brake something on the customers property, and do you make cards and or flyers, Scott P in NY
@ForeverSelfEmployed what would be the best option to start with? Working Van or a Pick with a trailer attached? I don’t have a garage or a storage to put stuff away.
Thank you for the information. I am starting a bin cleaning business and I want to offer a drive way cleaning service as well so this info you provided is so helpful.
thank you so much for being so kind and share all your knowledge. Im almost ready to start my business. but I have a question? in the videos that you use the surface cleaner do you use any chemicals? or its just water? thank you God bless you sir!
I’m actually gonna start a pressure wash businesses but I got a question If I get a job to pressure wash a driveway do I get the water from house that I’m going to pressure wash or do I have to have my own tank of water
New to this whole pressure washy biz and was curious if there is any harm on the equipment if I'm using a 3800 psi 3.5gpm with the same surface cleaner that Justin has in the video 20"? I made the purchase recently and tested it on a few jobs and it works great but I just read that the ratio for surface cleaner size vs GPM is 4x meaning I should of gotten 3.5x 4 = 14inch surface cleaner. Much appreciated
No there’s no harm on the equipment. People recommend the 4in per 1 GPM ratio to stop the surface cleaner from leaving swirl marks on the pavement. If you go slow though you won’t experience that issue, but no damage to any equipment! :)
Hi thanks for the vid. About to start as part time. I have a question for chemicals used if any for siding or brick/concrete washing. What do you recommend? Thanks
New to the channel, thanks for the Info. Looking to get some equipment to make some money. How does the preassure washing business do in fall and winter? Any tips will help
@@ForeverSelfEmployed No worries, enjoy your content and happy to show my support and help where I can. Would be cool if we could do a collab or something sometime!
Hey this is actually great video. I have seen your bunch of videos and always wondered if you had something to tell for someone who need to start this job and i found this so appreciate it. But also can you make a video on how you connect different parts like your setup for different things such as how you connect different hoses, wands and surface cleaner? Can you do a video on kinda tutorial on that?
Just found the channel, love it keep up the good work. I have a question, Is your business just a side business or do you have a business license, name etc?
Hi, I bought a RYOBI 3000 PSI 2.3-GPM Honda Gas Pressure Washer at Home Depot with a surface cleaner. It was only intended for home with no intention to getting in to the biss but after watching videos I kinda wanna start something up. My ? Is, aside from the equipment did you have to get a business lisence, insurance, water permits when you first started or at all? Not a full time job just a side hustle or maybe help my bro in law make some money.
There's four tools I can think of that could compliment a rig. Water filters, extension wand,foam cannon with snubby gun and pump sprayer. All four together cost around $100 for cheaper options. Not a bad investment just to test the waters. Especially if the tools last a year minimum while making profit.
I use the foam cannon and pump sprayer for those reasons, but others as well. Like using the pump sprayer to apply chemical to mobile home skirting or anything that's fragile. I've thought about washing fences with the snub nose foam cannon attached to a water broom,but my smaller pressure washer didn't work well with that setup,and I haven't got the correct fittings to try it with my belt drive machine. I figured it would be easier to handle the water broom that way vs a gun with a wand.
What’s the best type of high pressure hose? Is there a brand that is flexible and less rigid? How about a Commerical quality garden hose? Any recommendations?
This video is 4 years old has your opinion changed on electric pressure washers? I want to start a business and invest into one or does this video still hold true with the recommendations
How would you go around figuring out what to charge? per hour? per job most likely but where can you go to know you are around the industry standard in your area or whatever?
can you make another video like this but with your current setup & where did you get all of your stuff & how much ? Specific names of equipment as well please & thank you.
Hi I'm from India , the machine you are recommending is not available in India should still buy from USA and relating to servicing do you think there will be problem ?
Great video. I've ran into a couple of 'pressure washing snobs' in my area this week. They claim you must have at 4 gpm machine to get started. I know that to be a lie. That's just like saying you cant cut grass with a pushmower and Troy-bilt trimmer. Keep up the great work. Some of us have to start small. Thanks for the info!
Yep, that's what they say, but I have a pressure washing business and I make $800-$1,000 a week in the spring and summer months with a 2.5gpm machine. I also wash fleets with it year round. I started doing houses at $125 each, but now I do 1 or 2 businesses a week that pay $400 and up each. That's enough for me to be comfortable and provide.. The rest of the time, I'm enjoying life, instead of working it away. I might do 2 or 3 houses a month. You can be highly successful without a 4gpm machine.
@@robski461616 Indeed. I guess there are snobs in every industry. But I see it a lot more in pressure washing. They act like buttholes in forums that are "for contractors only". They tell people to throw away their machines and hire a professional. The list goes on and on. I hate to see people act like that. Dont withhold knowledge. Share it. That's what the bible teaches us!
Yea, a smaller cold water machine will totally work on the majority of things you would wash, but the amount of time saved with a larger hot water machine is 1000% worth the extra cost imo. I started with a similar setup, and you literally could not pay me to go back. They work just fine for part time income, but if you're trying to do this full time, you're going to kill yourself with a small cold water washer. I can do two or three times more work, in less time, with less physical labor with my hotsy than I ever even thought about with my smaller cold water machines. I'm a one man operation, though. Things change when you have workers to do the scrubbing. I know a guy that only uses cheap water machines with dawn dish soap and he's killing it, but he also has like 15 other people doing the physical work. His turnover rate is sky high, though, because the work is fucking miserable. I know, I worked for him when he first got started, helping run his crews. I'd much rather have to pay a little extra for diesel to power a hot water machine so I don't have work as hard or long for the same profits. I killed myself in my twenties doing that.
@@asthecrowflies1201 I understand totally. We've been in the lawn service industry for years. So I overstand how equipment can help us to work more efficiently. These guys I ran into were 'jerks' to put it mildly. In lawn care, we would never tell someone they must have a 24 hp zero turn, 2 Stihl or Echo trimmers, plus a backpack blower, 10 ft trailer in order to cut grass! Ive seen guys push a off brand mower and gas can around and make money. Definitely not the best set up but I wouldn't discourage them. Every journey starts with one step. My first job with my $400 Simpson washer from Lowe's, made me $1,400. And I under sold the job by $500. I completed the job. It looked great. It took a lot of man hours but I learned a whole lot about washing exteriors. I'm hoping to upgrade with the time comes. But right now, I'm putting some groceries on the table for my family. Lol. Wash On!!
loved the video very informative, I have a question. will the homeowners domestic tap supply enough water for this setup. I'm in the United Kingdom and have been pressure washing for about 20yers with electric karchers the domestic taps over here deliver about 10 litres a minute is that about the same in the states. Regards Keith
I am in the USA but never measured it. But other pros in this field have said our lines typically do 4gpm, and in UK, 11 ltr is 3gpm So up to a 4gpm unit, you can use the line in the USA. Even so, I think that one he has here was 2.5 or 3 gpm so it would be dine either way.
Mainly need to upgrade to water container if washer is over 4 gpm, because its more than their home water pressure can supply. Those machines are pretty expensive and prob not commonly used when first startng out. It's normally understood that you will be using their water.
Hello, I'm Thai. I want to make a career in pressure. Can you recommend equipment? Where can I start work at an economical price? Or is there anything more you recommend? Thank you.
Have you had problems with your AAA Triplex pump?? I almost bought the washer you listed but I read CAT is more reliable. Can't find the model with the CAT system anywhere
I have a 3200 psi pressure washer would that work for I high end surface cleaner or do you still recommend at least 4000 psi washer? These videos are legit!

Can you use an expansion hose so it's not a pain in the ass to move the hose around
The overalls for those that do not know, are fishing waders. There are 3 main types, Hip, Waist, and Chest,(overalls) the pair depicted in the video are Chest waders and those are the most popular as they provide the most protection. Waders are also made out of different materials, the type in the video is Neoprene, which is extremely durable, has a bunch of stretch, is all around tough, but has zero breathability and should be used for colder temps like mid to late fall-winter, and very early spring. They also make breathable waders, composed of Nylon and Polyester and those are extremely lightweight, super breathable, and are great for warmer weather. They can also be used for colder temperatures if you wear an insulating moisture wicking base layer. Typically the cheaper options of both will have the rubber boots built in for the chest high (overalls)suits, whereas the more expensive pairs will either cut off below the ankle, or will have neoprene booties, built onto the foot portion. You may also purchase those booties separately. Hope this helps anyone who may have been interested, or had questions regarding the waders.

Liability insurance is a must after you make a certain amount. Not sure what that amount is, varies by state.

What are your recommendations when looking for a vehicle to transports things in? Right now, I only have a 4 door chevy sedan
I already have a business license, do i need a license for car pressure cleaning? I live in Fl

Cool video mate thanks, One question: On what basis do you estimate a job and if there are any liquids you use before pressure washing?
Include a separate "Chemical" fee, but make sure to offer it as an "OPTION". Many clients prefer you to not use chemicals.

What x jet is compatible with your current pressure washer? Please and thank you much.

6:27 Lmao. Who else thought that was a dead guy laying next to the truck
New to the channel, thanks for the Info. Looking to get some equipment to make some money. How does the preassure washing business do in fall and winter? Any tips will help
That first surface cleaner on your list before the yellow one is that to put on the gas Honda pressure washer
completely new to this, do you need chemicals or any other kind of cleaner as well or are you able to get take care of the job with just water?
I think water volume would be more important especially on commercial heavy more gallons per minute hit harder than more pressure correct

It was only intended for home with no intention to getting in to the biss but after watching videos I kinda wanna start something up. My ? Is, aside from the equipment did you have to get a business lisence, insurance, water permits when you first started or at all? Not a full time job just a side hustle or maybe help my bro in law make some money.
Also can you tell me what chemicals I need , or is just water ok?
How often do you need to buy more gas? How many hours do you usually get out of a full tank? How much does a full tank of gas cost for it?
There's four tools I can think of that could compliment a rig. Water filters, extension wand,foam cannon with snubby gun and pump sprayer. All four together cost around $100 for cheaper options. Not a bad investment just to test the waters. Especially if the tools last a year minimum while making profit.
Is the foam cannon for cars? Then the pump sprayer for applying chemicals to the concrete?
I use the foam cannon and pump sprayer for those reasons, but others as well. Like using the pump sprayer to apply chemical to mobile home skirting or anything that's fragile. I've thought about washing fences with the snub nose foam cannon attached to a water broom,but my smaller pressure washer didn't work well with that setup,and I haven't got the correct fittings to try it with my belt drive machine. I figured it would be easier to handle the water broom that way vs a gun with a wand.
What’s the best type of high pressure hose? Is there a brand that is flexible and less rigid? How about a Commerical quality garden hose? Any recommendations?
This video is 4 years old has your opinion changed on electric pressure washers? I want to start a business and invest into one or does this video still hold true with the recommendations
How would you go around figuring out what to charge? per hour? per job most likely but where can you go to know you are around the industry standard in your area or whatever?
can you make another video like this but with your current setup & where did you get all of your stuff & how much ? Specific names of equipment as well
please & thank you.
Excellent! Clear and concise!
Justin knowing what you know now would you still recommend these items for someone starting out on a budget
Thank you for this video to the point with valuable information.
Great video. How would someone transport a gas powered pressure washer from job to job without a truck though?
This was great thank you! Since this is seasonal, is there something you do in the down time?
Only seasonal if your in snowy states
Hi I'm from India , the machine you are recommending is not available in India should still buy from USA and relating to servicing do you think there will be problem ?
Great video I learned so much thanks bro
I assume different brands of Surface cleaners and pressure washers are usually compatible?
Got me thinking about starting pressure cleaning business these days
Haha might not be a bad idea
Did you ever start one?
Did you ever start one?
Nope
Why not. Fuck it start today
Is there a pressure washer engine care vid? I have terrible problems with gas power pull start ups always.
What about cleaning materials? What do i start off with? Chemicals?
Love your videos.
What do you use to accept payments?
Is it all cash?
Great video. I've ran into a couple of 'pressure washing snobs' in my area this week. They claim you must have at 4 gpm machine to get started. I know that to be a lie. That's just like saying you cant cut grass with a pushmower and Troy-bilt trimmer. Keep up the great work. Some of us have to start small. Thanks for the info!
Yep, that's what they say, but I have a pressure washing business and I make $800-$1,000 a week in the spring and summer months with a 2.5gpm machine. I also wash fleets with it year round. I started doing houses at $125 each, but now I do 1 or 2 businesses a week that pay $400 and up each. That's enough for me to be comfortable and provide.. The rest of the time, I'm enjoying life, instead of working it away. I might do 2 or 3 houses a month. You can be highly successful without a 4gpm machine.
@@robski461616 Indeed. I guess there are snobs in every industry. But I see it a lot more in pressure washing. They act like buttholes in forums that are "for contractors only". They tell people to throw away their machines and hire a professional. The list goes on and on. I hate to see people act like that. Dont withhold knowledge. Share it. That's what the bible teaches us!
Yea, a smaller cold water machine will totally work on the majority of things you would wash, but the amount of time saved with a larger hot water machine is 1000% worth the extra cost imo. I started with a similar setup, and you literally could not pay me to go back. They work just fine for part time income, but if you're trying to do this full time, you're going to kill yourself with a small cold water washer. I can do two or three times more work, in less time, with less physical labor with my hotsy than I ever even thought about with my smaller cold water machines. I'm a one man operation, though. Things change when you have workers to do the scrubbing. I know a guy that only uses cheap water machines with dawn dish soap and he's killing it, but he also has like 15 other people doing the physical work. His turnover rate is sky high, though, because the work is fucking miserable. I know, I worked for him when he first got started, helping run his crews. I'd much rather have to pay a little extra for diesel to power a hot water machine so I don't have work as hard or long for the same profits. I killed myself in my twenties doing that.
@@asthecrowflies1201 I understand totally. We've been in the lawn service industry for years. So I overstand how equipment can help us to work more efficiently. These guys I ran into were 'jerks' to put it mildly. In lawn care, we would never tell someone they must have a 24 hp zero turn, 2 Stihl or Echo trimmers, plus a backpack blower, 10 ft trailer in order to cut grass! Ive seen guys push a off brand mower and gas can around and make money. Definitely not the best set up but I wouldn't discourage them. Every journey starts with one step. My first job with my $400 Simpson washer from Lowe's, made me $1,400. And I under sold the job by $500. I completed the job. It looked great. It took a lot of man hours but I learned a whole lot about washing exteriors. I'm hoping to upgrade with the time comes. But right now, I'm putting some groceries on the table for my family. Lol. Wash On!!
@@Ahch. it's funny you mention lawn care. That is my main bread and butter, and I'm a one man show there as well. Great minds think alike. Cheers!
Thank you for service ! Great info!
Great video dude!
loved the video very informative, I have a question. will the homeowners domestic tap supply enough water for this setup. I'm in the United Kingdom and have been pressure washing for about 20yers with electric karchers the domestic taps over here deliver about 10 litres a minute is that about the same in the states.
Regards Keith
I am in the USA but never measured it. But other pros in this field have said our lines typically do 4gpm, and in UK, 11 ltr is 3gpm
So up to a 4gpm unit, you can use the line in the USA.
Even so, I think that one he has here was 2.5 or 3 gpm so it would be dine either way.
I didn’t catch it if you mentioned it but I don’t recall you mentioning the xjet in the video. Is that a necessity or just extra equipment ?
Love the video learned a lot. So curious is it best to invest in vehicle to hold water or is using customer water would they be okay?
Mainly need to upgrade to water container if washer is over 4 gpm, because its more than their home water pressure can supply. Those machines are pretty expensive and prob not commonly used when first startng out.
It's normally understood that you will be using their water.
Hey bro what about cleaning solutions ? Is there a video similar to this one where you talk about bleaching ?
Can you do a video on what chemicals you need to start out with please
Hello, I'm Thai. I want to make a career in pressure.
Can you recommend equipment? Where can I start work at an economical price? Or is there anything more you recommend? Thank you.
Have you had problems with your AAA Triplex pump?? I almost bought the washer you listed but I read CAT is more reliable. Can't find the model with the CAT system anywhere
Great video , I wanna start a business ASAP . Thank you
did it work
What about pre care for the driveway like bleach? And after the wash?
I have a 3200 psi pressure washer would that work for I high end surface cleaner or do you still recommend at least 4000 psi washer? These videos are legit!
Most "high end" surface cleaners require 3500psi and 4gpm (min)...generally speaking, the higher the better.
What mixture ratio do y'all use on your cleaning solution?
Do you use your own water ? A tank ? Or do you use the customers heater ? Thanks
When using a Water Tank is better to gravity feed or pump fed?
Thanks for your review. Just picked up this pressure washer. Appreciate you. From on business man to another
How’s the buisness Been going man? Thinking about starting up mydelf
BADGER it’s going good. Start it. No better time than now
