      "Outgrow your equipment..."
      That is a great solid advice i wished I knew 8 years ago when I ventured out to become an independent self employed auto, industrial mechanic.
      Now I would say I am content and happy with what I have been able to achieve so far. Looking at the over 80k+ of equipment, tools, supplies excluding what hauls all that I need around to do my job; I wished I first outgrew my tools and equipment before buying the much bigger more expensive stuff.
      When I first started there were things I bought that was not necessary that I could have used the money and resources to grow my business faster.
      For a few of such equipment I bought I did not first have the need to use years after I started.
      Leaving those unused years with brands of the equipment coming with better models and technological advances in the tools that when the time came that I finally needed to use such equipment; I would have bought a newer and much better latest model than the old one I bought and barely going to start using.
      I am not in the pressure washing business as you are but your self employment talk is made for those whose ears are fixed on success.
      I hope you more prosperty with your business and shall we all grow old, fat, bald, and loved like Benjamin Franklin on the 100 dollar bill. Who doesn't love a successful guy like him?

    Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.

    What to do in the Snow Season in Northern Markets:
    1) Snow removal on driveways and sidewalks. Most snow removal contracts in WNY are seasonal monthly contracts where a flat fee to remain on call is required followed by a bill for snow removal on the days it does snow enough to require a snow plow or snow blower to remove snow.
    2) Christmas decorations removal, this is a a new one that started popping up but Christmas decorations are often not removed in cold and snowy markets due to the fact that nobody wants to do the job in the middle of January and now there are people offering to take down Christmas lights and other decorations for around hundred dollars per hour.
    3) Commercial Parking Lot salting, this goes along with snow removal but not all snow removable services includes salting the parking lots and sidewalks and it can be offered as an up charge. Rock salt used for road and highway usage is generally inexpensive when bought in bulk and its not uncommon for the service to sell well over a $1000 per salting and its an easy way to rapidly gain income but it also requires more equipment to get started, usually a pickup truck with a salt spreader and enough salt to cover the area needed to be salted and equipment to fill the salt spreader like a Bobcat or front loader.

    Great Hustle for side jobs. Got a lot of business basically using my turbo tip and brush washer using customer water. Start at 50 bucks for just a regular drive, I usually include the walk from the drive to the door, For more sidewalk such as front of house etc. go up 25 to 50 bucks, I can do most in a couple hours. A good Thumb rule is IF 2 cars can park on the drive start around 25 to 40 bucks per vehicle space and go from there. IF they want soap etc. Thats a extra charge. Also there are some who I have done a special rate for such as a military home owner who is deployed etc. I am retired myself so I do know how much Military Dependents need help at time but just to proud to ask for it. I have done a few for free just to help them and it has lead to other paying customers. AND NO I do not have a UA-cam trying to make money from it.

      It’s not so much about business plans or business models that create success. The need to survive and thrive is what makes us successful. Pleasing customers and BEING ON TIME. The number one killer. Never ever overbook. Pissed off customers will kill your business. I am not a big up sale person. People feel like they are being Nickeled and Dimed to death and feel like they are getting played. Explain you may be higher but you are more through. Always do something extra and tell them it’s free. People love thinking they got a better deal than Joe the neighbor.

Lets say he might have two guys doing just pressure washing for decks, siding, and concrete(possibly not sure). Then has guys go in after its dry to do the work.

      Tax on services is different than a sales tax on an item.

      So really they got the job for 450 plus taxes.

    I'll tell ya what you can do in snow. There's basically 3 that will probably become your go to when the snow falls
    1 removal
    It fallspeople don't wanna play in it so you can get paid moving it. Sidewalk, driveway, ROOFS, ect.
    2 deice
    Nothing people love more than a good ass wiper. Although it's never fun and will hurt when it happens to you so... You can double up on your snow removal by offering deicer a long side it.
    3 Wait for more snow to fall
    This is the point you catch up on sleep, nake repairs, get new customers and be as prepared as possible for the next snow fall because when it hits you might push 3 days straight before it stops falling. Winter time mother nature gives you breaks you can't afford to take them

    Now my question is..for an average Joe like me, how much do I charge to pressure wash that is both fair to me and the customer? I was thinking 25 and hour, and I pay for all cleaning supplies. Thoughts?
    Edit: I already have experience with the washer, so I do the jobs right the first time. I know inexperience pays less.

    One thing I have learned never do house washes with any surface that is painted regardless if it is soffit. Siding or any kind of surface that is painted never treat it with SH sodium hypochloride even in an inconspicuous area that's no guarantee that some idiot who painted the siding decided on some spots to not prime it and others to use different shades of paint with sodium hypochlorite will totally expose any flaws in the paint therefore I only do house wash on unpainted vinyl siding or all brick and gutters only or Hardie board that's been painted from the factory but I will absolutely not do any house that's been painted especially with organic paint like Sherwin-Williams
