That is the important part of this job.
Setting expectations.
 
I tend to set them low and over deliver.

I bought that book over the summer and even with 20yrs doing my Powerwashing business I still learned a lot from it. Highly recommend it for newbies and long time powerwashers like myself.

Its highlighted where you typed it,,thanks so much..my wife said she would get it for me for Christmas.

Really aesome to see good Friends that I haven't seen in so long....Just a great time!

Guy is the real deal.  Had the pleasure of sitting down with a bunch of friends and getting to know him over drinks.  Very interesting, knowledgeable, astute PW'er and just all around nice, engaging person.
 
Next year will even be better!

I finally met "The one and only" Guy Blackmon. Hard to believe we were at some of the same Powerwashing events in years past but just never met each other. Nice guy! I wish I could post a pic of him, Rob Huffman & I shooting the breeze at the PWRA dc event but my phone doesn't work for this. Great meeting new friends and old friends alike as well.

Best Powerwashing (Large) event I've been to since I started going to these things. Looking forward to next yrs PWRA event to be even better if that's even possible.

Just got back from the D.C. PWRA convention.  Thad and crew put on an outstanding 2 day event.   Just a ton of contractors and high quality vendors.  And a chance to catch up with friends in the business.

Thank y'all for coming and helping make it a success.
Love you guys!

Looking fwd to meeting you Guy. I'd also like to order the "original shooter tip" from you as well.

MAN!!!!! That was an AWESOME weekend.

I'll see you guys there.....John T....1st beer is on me Brother!

John,
 
I'll be there.  At the moment, Diamond Jim is also coming down with me.  In fact, he is borrowing that scaffold unit I purchased from you years ago.  It has been very handy in restoring some homes.

I hate failure especially when something was working. My PWNA days are now a thing of the past. I let my membership expire last month after 15 consecutive yrs. I'm now completely removed from the 2 non profit PW orgs. I did enjoy being involved with them both in the past but today neither fits my business model anymore.
Now I just take care of my business and my family and have moved on with ZERO involvement in fighting for the best interest of other's in the PW field. I did my time. Now its PWRA time's of enjoyment for me and ZERO Political anything just like that association is. Hope to cya guys at their DC event :)

Mucho Prayers for your Wife and Family John!!!!
 
See you Guys & Gals at the DC event.....Then off to the Charleston SC event in Sept.

Hi John,
Our first working day this year was April 21st. If I recall correctly, our best starting day in 13 yrs. was March 20th! Very late start this year, but business is quite good.
But then again, we are not pressure washers, only wood guys.

Late start, wet year, very frustrating. Half way through July already.....YIKES!

We did Rick but unfortunately my wife was just diagnosed with Breast cancer. She had the cancerous tumor removed last week and then she starts radiation treatment soon. She's expected to make a full recovery. So I'm bringing Rob Huffman along to the PWRA convention. Looking forward to seeing you bleach kings.

John,
Ouch. My prayers to both you and your family. Hope all will be well.
Rob is nowhere as good looking as your wife. A very poor substitute, but he is a very nice guy. See 'ya there!

PWRA-- Bam!! Cya "Stinky" guys and Beth there..

Where you are and the type of service you perform  will dictate what you need to do. The very best advice I can give you, is to consult with your accountant. He or she should be able to tell you if you need to collect tax or not based upon your services. Also your state's website should have some of that information, and it will be more accurate than what you will find here.

Hi John. We posted the same reply at the same time. Weird.

What soap did you you use on the house and do you have any before pics you can show us? Personally we stay far away from cleaning aluminum sided houses unless they want them prepped to be painted. Reason we stay away from just cleaning aluminum is because the pant on it becomes oxidized and can easily come off during cleaning.

Man that bites Jon. Some people just love misery like that guy and his girlfriend do. They can have their miserable existence together which will bite them eventually. That's the way I see things like this.

I have been blessed being within an hour's drive of ACR Products. Aside from a few odd chemicals, they have supplied all my needs for the past 13 years. Custom equipment, repairs, advice, Tom, Barbara, and crew have kept me in business.
