  8. Best cleaner for fabris awnings

    I have a 400SF awning to bid on and I would like some help with dfferent chems. I would like to use my house wash (Wild Cherry) since I will be doing the house and I cant possibly clean the house without getting the awning. I can DS the mix on b ut I am a little worried about the strength. How weak should I go?
  9. Can you price to High?

    I would not do that if I were you... Get the money when you get done with the job.
  10. Can you price to High?

    Try targeting higher end neighborhoods and selling the HO on your quality work, not cheap price.
  11. Can you price to High?

    I agree!!
  12. answering client's "environmental" questions

  14. A true New Mexican

    I lived in NM for 11 years and I miss it. Everything mentioned above is soooo true and I love it. I miss the chili more then anything...
  15. I have a 4000psi/4gpm and I was using 2.5 tips. Today I put on a set of 3's and I think that will make a difference. Now that I think about it, I could put on a set of 2's and ride it around like a skate board, LOL
  16. Ratios

    Try blowing through a coffee stirrer and a 1" PVC pipe...which one is "easier?" Your lungs create the same amount of force, but the stirrer will create a larger pressure drop and reduce the flow dramatically. that may be true but the xjet is sucking and it is easier to suck coffee through a regular straw then to try to do it through a 1" tube...
  17. I just got a 16" steel eagle the other day and waas playing around with it. Keep in mind this is my first time using one of these.. It felt like I was trying to hold down a helicopter.. much faster then a wand. It will take some getting used to. I cant make adjustments to the angle but it would be nice if I could
  18. concrete cleaning

    Ok, OK I got the point and broke down and got a steel eagle 16" floater.. It should be here by the end of the week.. What are some of the reciepes you guys are using. I use the wild cherry mix on houses and may consider a "special" mix for the flat work. I have some f-18 on hand but no recipes..
  19. concrete cleaning

    I am going to target residential for now and if commercial knocks at my door I will answer. Turn down work?? Never... If its something I can do well and get my asking price, I will do it, although a lot slower without the surface cleaner
  20. I am targeting a few streets that need to have the house cleaned. They are between 2-3k SF homes in a middle income area. Let me know what you think about this flier I will put on the doors Hello, The biggest investment a home owner makes in a lifetime is their HOME. In order for it to continue to be an investment and potentially earn you lots of money when you sell it, you NEED to take care of it. On the inside it’s easy for the do-it-yourselfer with enough free time to touchup paint, repair dings and nicks and other little “character” marks. On the outside of your home it’s a little different. We have all driven by buildings that have green or black growth on the siding, driveways, walkways patios, decks and living on the shore with high humidity its most likely growing on your biggest investment also, YOUR HOME. The stuff growing could be mold, mildew, algae or some other type of plant life. It not only looks terrible and could be the reason for your allergies, but it could also damage your property if left untreated. Many people do not realize that it CAN be safely treated without damage to your property. At JC Painting & Powerwashing I will safely remove the growth from your home and leave you feeling great about your biggest investment, YOUR HOME. Please call me, Jim Chesmore, at 609-412-3033 for a free home evaluation. Don’t forget to ask about my group discounts.
  21. concrete cleaning

    WAIT A MINUTE!! I think my math is wrong... Are you only adding .007 oz/gal of the sodium hydroxide??? That would be .035oz in a 5er for x-jeting??
  22. concrete cleaning

    I forgot to add I will be using an M5X-Jet
  23. concrete cleaning

    If I did my numbers correctly, A mix in a 5er will be -6.4oz F-18(sodium Hydroxide) -2 gal SH -3 gals water Is that rght?
  24. I've been self employed since 2003 and just started the powerwashing this year. It is my only income and at the moment I dont have ins. but I am an LLC. Thanks to this and other BBS I look forward to growing fast....
