Some people stay within a few miles of their home/office. Being rural, I have to go an hour at times do do an estimate due to no street view and bad satellite pictures. The more rural, they have a hard time finding someone close by to do the job properly. The trip to MD is to see my son, not for work. Also, we ha...
For those of you who accept credit cards, do you charge a convenience fee? Maybe a cash/check discount instead? How are you handling this? We have been using Square to accept credit cards and up until recently, we haven't had to use the service very often. Lately though, it seems almost every customer...
Do any of you guys buy or rent uniforms for your men. I keep it simple, I supply 3 pair of Dickie whites pants and a bag of cheap Walmart T shirts to start. When the men start showing up for work dirty, I buy them more. It goes over good with the homeowner and makes the job go a little better. They say to them s...
I have gotten myself in a predicament.. I moved into a new house. I'm being told that I can not take my old phone number with me the one I have used for business the last 9 years. It has something to do with 911 service but whatever the reason I still cant take it. What options do I have? How can I keep the sa...
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using sign dancers? I'm considering giving it a try. I'll place them at community entrances. I would hire clean cut guys or gals to wave and hold signs, and answer some basic questions if asked about our service. Uniforms? I personally like the idea of...
I have took people's advice and done all the reading on downstreaming that I can find. I can tell that I should buy a remote box soap box. Can anyone tell me what name brand is the best to use. I'm sure I'm going to want a high frequency one so I can shut the soap off with out having line of sight. Any info will be...
I have an idea about advertising for all of us on here. Of course we all pay for our own advertising but the idea may look and sound good benefiting all of us. I''m a firm believer in not advertising in the winter months for obvious reasons, but also I don't want some guy who's sitting around to see it late Oc...
It looks like a SH mix for siding could be around .7% to as high as 1.5% will be suitable for most of the mobile home work I am after. If I understand correctly, for my batch tank, I could use a 10% bleach at a 8:1 ratio. A good sized mobile home might have around 1200 sq ft of exterior siding. It seems to me it...
We have a very small rig right now, but we are coming into a little bit of money form my husband disability settlement. Should be able to spend around 10,000 on the business. Here are some pics of what we have. The big washer is 5.6 gpm 4000 psi. The Lil one is 2.8 gpm 3100 psi. My trailor is only 3 1/2 foot bu...
Hello folks, my next step in building up the 12 volt wash rig is attaching a hose to the reel. This connection point looks like it might be under a lot of stress. How would you make this connection? The reel is a reelcraft sold as a 1/2 inch, 100 foot capacity hand crank. I don't especially like the lo...
My friends said. Hey man. Trump is sending everyone $. We can through one heck of a party after this is all over with. I said. I dont think so, if Trump sends me money I'm going to buy something that's going to feed me and my family for the next 10 years lol. Soo here it is best 3500.00 I ever spent. Always want...
Got an email from Art to stop by and say hello. I'm a year and a half into NOT owning a soft wash company anymore! I got the opportunity to sell last March to a competitor, who hired me as a commission salesman for a year during the transition. We had a great year last year and I actually sold more for the ne...

Came across this job today. Its a 12 year old metal roof, green in color. The house has an addition on the left hand side that shows the color of the roof and newer metal that is still the original color. The light, puke green color is oxidation. There is still plenty of color left under the this, just need a...
Efflorescence on brick and Pavers. Whats the best way to remove it and what is the cause of it. I have a job where the pavers are 6 months old and the homeowner wants it off.

Haven't used it in the field yet,..but added to a bucket and water blast to fill the bucket it seemed to make decent soap,..the foam/bubbles on top lasted for a t least an hour. It's a very think soap out of the bucket,..but that doesn't nece...
Hello Everyone, I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Things ended very well for us last year. We completed the roof of The Inn at Spanish Bay, 190,000 square feet of clay flat tile. It was a huge job and took a long time because its a super high-end place and everythin...
We got a contract for all the local medical centers. After doing the first one we see that alot of time is wasted taking lifted dirt to the closest drain after surface cleaning the concrete and curbs. If I could reclaim it as I go I would think that would be faster. But dont know alot about reclaiming units...
Hi all. Seems so normal on here with the usual discussions. Over on this side of the pond we are into total lock down since midnight for at least two weeks but probably a lot longer. Had a machine hired for a job in the morning €600 plus vat which is on site waiting for us but now it seems we won't be able to do th...
If you get pulled over for speeding start coughing and wiping your nose. He isn't going to want to be near you much less give you a pen to sign the ticket and take it back. Heehee.

Once its all put together and stuff... gonna use it the first time... what do I set the knobs at? I understand I have to play wit...
Since I do little roof cleaning compared to most of you ( mostly an add-on service to painting) I'm just testing out my equipment and noticed my Dual purpose battery is not holding a charge long. Its 10 years old! Some reason I was steered into buying a Dual Purpose one back them. If I am correct a fully Dee...
Debating on going to an air system this year. Looking for your experience or view points either for or against. I'm tired of all the problems I'm having with 12v pumps. Constantly replacing for multitude of reasons (and I rinse) AND I'm always looking for more performance when I'm out working. Many t...
