With new power washing season around the corner I am interested in seeing how others are attracting new business this year.

We still go door to door and hang door hangers. This is the first marketing we ever did and although we have grown from other sources we refuse to quit what work for us in the beginning. "Never forget where you come from" It is not easy but in my opinion it is a great source for new business! Internet is an excellent choice as well! We have NOT successful with EDDM, and for that reason have discontinued it. If you don't mind doing a little extra work take a look at sendjim, https://sendjim.io/home they have some great marketing ideas at affordable pricing.

Rod Those are very good points I do like the "cubetainer" idea and I too am an instant gratification guy. lol I have been reading and learning a lot on these forums and appreciate the pros help. I see a lot of talk about air pumps for roof cleaning. Why would you want to haul around an air compressor and a generator instead of a couple batteries? I'm also thinking about all the noise in the neighborhoods as well as a pressure washer going. I'm more of a stealth kind of guy in and out Ninja style!! Also, How many gal of mix do you go through for a typical roof wash 2000 sqft? Thanks Dave

Thanks Rod Looking at the Fatboy system for roofs ($1400). Also an 8gpm 3500 machine with buffer tank and chemical tanks on a dual axel trailer. Looking to build my own and add hot water in the future. I know I want to DS but not sure which way to go. Really don't think I want to haul a 5 gal bucket of Chems around the house with me should be able to DS from Chem tank on trailer. Just need to figure out plumbing. Thanks Rod

We do in Northwest Indiana, Chicagoland and Southwest Michigan areas. (219) 405-4350

I stripped pavers once cause the customer begged me to, but I don't seal because I have never learned to. I've watched a few video, but not enough to where I feel comfortable.

Count me in as well Jon. Thanks!!!!

Ive given out 3 leads around the country this last week alone for stripping. If you do this kind of work and I dont have your number, you are missing out.

Thanks Chappy that's 3 - 5 hours away from me. If the job is big enough we will travel.

The method with Seal n Lock is to wash in sand after cleaning. But its designed to seal wet pavers. If your using an acrylic, you cant really do that, because the sand stays wet far longer than the pavers. What I used to do with acrylic sealers is apply sealer, come back later and broom in dry sand then add a light coat of sealer. It was too time intensive. Thats one of the reasons I was sold on SealNLock.
