I run into a lot of these cedar shake houses just curious what you use for chems. Do you down stream? The most effective way I have found is using a back pack sprayer with straight love. Is there an easier way?

I have been looking everywhere for 12.5% SH when I came across a company with 15% SH. The company will charge me $2.94 per gal, including delivery. It seemes to me that it still is a little too pricey. I have noticed people paying as low as a buck and change, is that including delivery? If anyone from the North Shore Boston area has a better rate going for them, me ears are perked!!!!

Just got a quote from this company. 1.60 a gal and no shipping fee. The rep said it ranges from 15%-12%. He also sent this spec sheet and the company name is on it. Sounds like it is a pretty good deal!!!

Hello everyone, I believe we have everything we need to get going, but I want to make sure I leave no rock unturned. I got out of the Army at the beginning of 09 and I worked for a painting company that did all of there own PW. I realized there was a market for it. I was using a home depot pos and doing about 6 houses a week. I was planning on buying one of those exact pos for my own and hitting the pavement running. Then I stumbled upon the these types of forums. Thank god!!! I have been ingesting as much as I could for the last 9 months. Our company name is Bay State Power Washing LLC. We are located around the north shore of Boston and southern NH area. We have 140 residential houses lined up for this season so far. We bought this rig for $2500 I think it was a steal but that’s why I’m posting this thread, to see if it actually was. 13hp Honda, 3500psi, 4gpm, telescopic wand, gun w/50ft of pressure hose (think ill need longer?), trailer, 100gal water tank w/hudson, ds injector. So for $2500 do you think it was a steal? We got the LLC, insurance, obv. flyers and business cards (what do you think) carbon copy estimates and contracts, simple cherry, f-13, and a j-rod 4 way nozzle holder from pressure tek, three 5gal buckets, 16ft ladder, 2 100ft heavy duty garden hoses, soo............ anything else you think we will need?

Thanks again Russ!!! def going to look into it!

Does anyone know of a place like this near the mass area?

I actually got a call from a great guy last night (Bobby Weir) we talked for a few hours and he pointed me in the right direction on a lot of things. Thanks Bobby!!!! He suggested I get 2 100ft pressure hoses w/modified ds injector. We are on the phone with pressure-tek now!! We have our first job on Tues so hopefully we get them in time. As far as the amount of jobs, they just fell in our laps. That same painting company is subcontracting all of the their pre-paint pw's to us. They already have 140 painting jobs set up and all of them need to be washed. The great thing about it is the advertisement aspect. The painting co. sold about 1.1 mil in jobs last year. so its a pretty well know name. We will be making signs that attach to theirs and leaving in ho yard for about two weeks until the painting is done. I think its a great way to get our name out there! Russ Spence honestly you could have almost bought it all new for that Is that everything assembled? If so let me know where and Ill buy another one today!

I would really appreciate you taking the time to send these guidelines to me. It seems like what you have is exactly what i need right now.
