This is my first thread here, nice forum!
I'm just starting out on light residential pressure cleaning to compliment my Carpet, Upholstery and Tile cleaning business.
I've just got to make a bid on cleaning the concrete around the pool and part of the backyard, I'm in central Florida, which means there's mildew growth, oak trees stains and the like in a home where I'll be doing carpet and tile cleaning work, this area has about 1400 sf that need to be cleaned (around the pool).
I have a smaller 2500 PSI pressure cleaner from HD that has one of those crappy adjustable guns, so I don't think I'll be using this one here, and will have to rent the proper equipment, a 3500 PSI pressure cleaner with a 24" surface cleaner costs about $ 110 in my area, and I am not sure if this size pump will work effectevily with the rotary cleaner, I tried it with my 2500 PSI and it was a joke.
I'd like to rent first to see just which would be the right size machine to buy later, any recommendations on equipment and how much should I price this job and how long do you think this will take to accomplish with a 3500 PSI and a spray gun or the rotary cleaner?, all I want is to have an idea on how much I can charge for this particular job, the job should be an easy one, a vacant home, on what about equipment for the future?, any input will be most welcome, thanks!
Any chemicals other than pre spraying some bleach?
