Hey I just had another quick thought i had to get on the forum before i leave. I know with pricing there are alot of factors you need to consider while bidding. How dirty the surface is, demographic factors, what kind of surface it is, etc. I'm sure there are alot more. I'll be servicing residentual areas with homes ranging from the $300k-$800k range. Based on that what do you think is a fair price to ask per square foot from being not to dirty and an easy clean to lots of algae, mold, scum, dirt, rust and oil? When doing a flat rate for driveways what do most people charge? Thanks again!

Hey everybody I have recently been considering opening a pressure washing buis and have been doin alot of research through reading forums, and websites. For the past three days that's pretty much all i've been doing lol but there is still alot i need to know. I thought with your expertise and knowledge you guys would be able to help me out. I am planning on hitting residentual areas cleaning driveways, and gutters, but would like to work my way up into doing roofs, decks, siding, and who knows what from there. First off my biggest concern is if it worth trying to get this going with the economy the way it is. Having your home cleaned from head to toe is an extra. And i kinda figure people will want to be eliminating alot of extras right now. My next concern is chemical based. What i have been blown away by, is how many chemicals, dillution rates, proportions, and percautionaries you need to take, and know before you just get out there and start spraying everything in site. Plus what types of chemicals you can/can't use on certain surfaces. I can imagine you can do alot of damage to somebodies property if you don't know what you're doing. I would really appreciate it if somebody would be able to take the time out of there busy lives to help put me on the right track Thanks in advance Jordan Ganshorn

Thank you I do realize there is still alot of research I need to take care of. I will definitly be putting in my dirt. I really just took an interest to the industry less than a week ago, and have been more enthused about it's potential each day. The thought of being self-employed is definitly alot more appealing then working for someones company the rest of my life. I think i've just found my niche! Thanks for the advise guys! Oh and keep the long posts coming, I enjoy reading them. Every bit of advise I get is helping me move forward with this. Back to the books! Jordan
