I've been wondering if this happened since I started reading these posts. In fact, I probably would not have started business the way I did without them. Having said that, you may now have figured out that this forum not only empowers the DIYers, but also promotes competition. You are teaching the new generation of roof cleaners and power washers so that they can go in an low ball you. Catch 22 at its finest.

I'm all over Volusia (Daytona Beach area). I'm set up an ready.

We do Roof Cleaning, Hot and Cold Pressure Washing, and Tree Trimming. Home We are so desperate for work its not funny. There are too many jokers with pathetic equipment running around asking for next to nothing for the real deal to make money. Any ideas or work leads would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you link to my site, I'll link to yours. Thanks Mat

Ok, I've gotten a lot of great tips here. You are right to think of EVERYTHING as an oportunity. I found out today that someone a church that I've been chatting with is the HOA president for one of the most expensive neighborhoods in town. What a break that was! I have been talking to a few construction companies. I've got a lead in with KB Home right now, just waiting on some WC forms to finalize before I make my move. Hopefully that will go through. In the mean time I'm working with the Universities in the area to get all their buildings cleaned. I just bid a $15,700 job. It should take about 10-12 days with 2 other guys. I need an 80 foot lift! Do any of you guys ever use hanging scaffolding? If so, what are you thoughts and experiences with them. Things are looking up. We are slowly making the transition from mostly Residential work to mostly Commercial. That way we can STAY busy. Thanks for all your suggestions so far. Please, keep them comming.

I've been doing that for about a year now. I've got a great flyer and full equipment setup. I've got two rigs, one for residential and one hot water rig for commercial. Knocking on doors in Daytona has some interesting consequences. Apparently there are a lot of companies doing it, so the homeonwners are getting tired of it. Yesterday I actually got shoved out of the door instead of the usual F*** Off. Anyway, my site's tone is similar to the way I talk to potential customers. Take a look and tell me what you think.
