  1. house cleaning

    I usually scrub them then shoot a stream above so the water runs down over them.
  2. Which direction do I go???

    I started part-time. Toyota p/up w/cap on back. $2500 worth of equipment jammed in the bed. Truck was a daily driver so investment was minimal. I did 2 yrs of research before buying the truck and equipment. My first year produced many happy customers and made me realize that this is what I want to do. My dream rig would be a ford van w/built-in ventilated hot washer pulling trailer w/tank, additional washer,hoses,reels,ladders etc.... Delco has a nice trailer setup for a little under $7000. If you trade your car in for a truck that can pull something like 6000 lbs you're good to go.
  3. Gutter Cleaning Out..?

    I have never seen the need for high pressure on the interior of a gutter. I don't advertise it, but if a customer requests a gutter clean while I'm there I break out the ladder, long gloves and a bucket. For a normal single home $60/side. Takes 1/2 hour total for $120. Wash down with a garden hose until the water runs clear. I love easy money.
  4. Decks, decks, and more decks. Some siding, concrete, fences. Strangest thing washed? Where do I start. A Doctor called me for an estimate on his stone artwork. 110 pieces of stone arranged in a circle. I had to wash each stone and stack them on as crate. They were covered in mold. I had no idea how to price it so I told him $100/hr, could take 1-3 hrs. He said no problem, the piece cost him $70,000. I made 300 bucks. Another lady had me wash her painted wood siding on a dilapidated house. It was so hard to get around all the junk and trash in her yard, the grass was 3 ft tall. I told her honestly that I think she should attend to other things first, but she insisted on getting the job done. I got plenty more but I'm not writing a novel.
