thanks for the reply phil, I just placed a 30 day listing in the newspaper PRESSURE WASHING: Affordable. Licensed & Insured. Free Estimates. (###)###-####. I just kept it simple so it wouldnt rack up the price. I cant believe how expensive advertising in the newspaper can be.. Overall...

Hey guys, I just wanted to get your opinion on advertising in the newspaper classified. I'm listed in all local phone book yellow pages, but i'm interested in picking up some extra work. There is usually a few guys in the area that advertise in the paper for pressure washing but it's mostly...

crearview, i know what you mean about the passive income goal. Pressure washing is fun, but you're right you cant do it forever. You said you're twice as busy compared to last year. Is there anything you're doing different to get more business? or is most of your business coming from referrels?

thats a good question... Do a little reasearch about what it takes to hire your first employee... First off, do you even have enough steady work to keep the employee busy? If you do, how long is it going to take to get the employee up to speed so they can go do jobs by themselves and not mess...

Hey, thanks for all your input. I do agree, using a 5.5machine is a step up from the 4.0gpm machines i'm running now, but the bottom line is. for the return and demand in this area at the current time it doesnt make sense to put a couple k into a 5.5 machine and go thru the headache to get...

Hey guys, just wanted some input on possibly upgrading my equipment. here's what i'm running now i have (2) 13hp 4gpm 3500psi machines, 1 direct drive (backup machine) and one belt drive. I am happy w/ my current setup and i'm making good $$$ per hour but i was considering going up to a...

The red tip is the zero degree nozzle these pressure washer nozzles produce a pencil point pattern, there is no fan created so this is not the tip to use when cleaning coverage is desired. The red tip does deliver the highest impact as it concentrates the pressure into the smallest area. Avoid...

Bznitch, You said that you worry "about not being a good entrepreneur and failing in the business." If you live in LA i dont care how many pressure washing contractors are out there, there's still going to be people needing the service done, w/ the average home value and incomes way above...

Biznitch, hey yeah, try using Internet Explover vs Netscape my friend opened it w/ her mac and it did the same thing, as what you were saying, Taselson, yeah i see what you're saying, thanx for the input, that's what i'll probably do, get a shot of me in front of my van or somthing, i...

Hey guys, I just recently launched my website. I wanted to make it simple and effective. If you get a chance check out my site at www.britesidepowerwashing.com if u have any tips that worked good on your site please fill me in, -Jonathan

CCPC, hey thanks for your input. if you know a better tequnique please enlighten me. This is what I'm currently using: 3500 psi 4.5gpm washer On an average style vinyl home 2-story 2200 square feet it takes me around 2-3 hours from arrival untill I leave. The reason i dont use bleach...

Eric, email me at britesidepowerwashing@hotmail.com i'll give you some pointers on the letters -Jonathan

Eric, what gpm is your washer rated at? A turbo nozzle spins w/ 0 degrees cleaning power, when it spins the solid line of water coming out of the nozzle spins so fast that it creates a complete circle of cleaning area. If you are not supplying the nozzle w/ enough water, or you are moving to...

Larry: you can pressure wash twice as fast using a turbo nozzel if you have the gpm and psi to push it... using fan tips have defined areas of cleaning the straight line thats what a few inches.. try using that w/ high psi on cement or wood... you'll be replacing it if you're not careful.. the...

Dan, obviously you cant use 3500 psi on wood surfaces at least w/ a turbo nozzle. but on vinyl it works great. I use a turbo nozzle which gives a larger cleaning area as well as a more predictable cleaning pattern than using a fan tip. I've never ran into a problem while doing exterior siding...

Dan, hey. i buy my mildew buster from this place called pressure washer store based out of florida. They ship it up to me within a few days... They're good people to deal with. Here's the link directly to the mildew buster product Mildew Buster Chemicals I buddy of mine in Jersey that...

Eric, no i've never used that cleaner before... Whatever you do.. dont be dumb and use straight bleach like most guys do... They wonder why they dont get reacurring jobs... maybe because they're customers plants are dead and their vinyl siding is dull as flat paint... i use this stuff called...

Eric, yeah i'd say wait till spring for the mail out marketing idea. So you already have a lawn care service? You better go talk to your insurance agent and let them know you're going to be adding the pressure washing service to your current business. This is why: say your lawn care business is...

Dan, hey thanks for the comment. My girfriend and I designed it together using Frontpage. It still has some touching up to do, I'm compressing the pictures so they load faster for slower internet connections, i'm also adding a counter to my hompage that lets me see how many visitors to the...

Eric, if you decide to do mail outs make the letter looks as professional as possible. Dont send postcards, send letters. Think about it, how many postcards from magazines and trashmail do you get and just throw away with out looking at them. Print out the people/business's names on envelopes...
