Hi everyone, my name is Kevin Makowski and I am new to the pressure washing industry. I just bought my 1st rig and I'm excited to get started and join the world of pressure washing. I'm sure you'll see me on here alot. Any tips or advice is graciously appreciated.

Thank you,

My name is Mark and I've been PW for about 6 years in the Katy/houston area. I mainly do residential cleaning and some times a few commerical structures. This is my part time job since I'm a Houston Fire Fighter. I'm not all knowing but if some one in the houston area needs help let me know...we all can learn from one another.

Pratice on your house house first, then do the neighbors for free, then friends cheep to get used to the business. My first year I didn't make any money just gained experience. This was the time I used to perfect my pricing. I would guess-tamate the price of a house.(sq footage) Then I would measure it(linear) then I'd do the work and see how long it would take me. Say if it took me 4 hours to do a 2 story 3000 sq house. I would charge $1.50 a linear ft 50x 60= $270. OR I want to make $75 an hour= $300 or you could do sq footage 3000sq ft=300 ( $1.00 sq ft) thats 3 ways to get a price. But after a while you should be able to just walk up and measure that house and spit out a number because you know how long it will take you to clean a 3000sq ft house!!
