I have a customer who backs up to a busy street and gets the back of their stucco house egged all the time. Can anyone recommend what to use to remove these stains completely. I have never been able to remove them 100%, so any help is aprecciated. Also is there anything i can apply to keep future eggs from staining the stucco?

Pressure Washing America Roundtable Registration? Just throwing something out there to get the gears going.

All above suggestions are great. I have really good success with door hangers in slow times. Just keep after it. You have to let everybody in your target market know you are there, who you are, and what you do, this doesn't happen over night. Go to businesses and introduce yourself find out if they currently have someone servicing their store. Take your rig with you and offer free demos while you are there. Cold call set up a free demo. Yellow page ads, newspaper ads, community directory ads, chamber of commerce. Have uniforms, brochures, cards, flyers, website, professionally designed. Put your logo on everything thats who you you are. The more people see that logo the more likely they will be to call you when ready for your services. Offer discounts for referrals that book a job with you. And most of all when you do get those jobs do them at the highest quality and more work will follow, be the best at what you do. Read here and other boards and you will learn more than you ever thought possible about the pressure washing industry. There is wealth of great knowledge here that people who have been in the industry for many many years are willing to share to better the industry. I'm Just ranting now but hope this helps get the gears turning.

Either Lowes or Home Depot sells just the stabilizers.

Get out and walk. Door to door hang flyers, go to businesses. As long as you are out getting your name out there the work will come with time. You wont get business sitting on the couch waiting for it to come to you. Once you start getting more work and money saved up try direct mailing target neighborhoods. Good luck.

I have X-jetted in the past with good results. I downstream now and love it. I have a pole that i used to use until discovery of x-jet and downstreaming a few years ago. I keep the pole though it is always nice to have in the arsenal for the most difficult of jobs.

As far as the gutters it will remove some mildew and mold. To remove black streaks i use gutter zap spray on with a pump up brush and rinse, just don't let it dry on the surface and be careful not to remove the paint.

sounds good i bookmarked your site so when im ready i will call.

Rob i downstream with great results. Dwell time can vary depending on how dirty and whether or not it is in direct sun.

i agree every house is different as far as obstacles. Do you have a set amount for a certain size house? Also how do charge for drives? I want to set up my new rig with multiple guns so pricing on time is going to be harder for me to do, that is why i am looking for some alternative methods.
