    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!!!!

    yes you can, as a matter of fact with a lot better and safer trailer

    There are several places in Georgia that will be glad to get you a good trailer and assemble it for you, it takes about 30 minuites.

    Here is what one looks like that comes from Macon Georgia.

    Thanks Russ for the info! Wish I had known that 3 weeks ago. Not sure if you know, but do they ship to Mass? Company name?

    Good so far you'll find out real quick you'll want 8-10gpm for speed, probably won't need an extension wand but you'll need a few 100 feet more pressure hose.

    I'm very impressed with the 140 jobs booked for a new co and before the season has started, how did you guys manage that?

    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!

    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?
