I agree with John, 8 gpm is all we run you'll be fine with that. Plus running 10 gpm means you may have to jump up to 1/2 pressure hose & water issues as stated and you really don't want either.

July would be a great time, usually a slow month for us. Just let me know.

Randy, if you have questions give me a call. If you'd like we could meet up and I'll show you one of our rigs.
By the way H&M doesn't build pressure washers, they are Mi-T-M machines. I've got 2 Mi-T-M skids, good equipment.

Buddy, when does a customer dictate your pricing? Do you have a "Minimum"? I do and it's $175-$200 even if it's a dog house.
Whatever your price is.... stick to it!!!

They are barely broke in yet! I've got stuff with well over 10,000 hrs on them. I've actually got a burner that is 23 years old and still making us money!Yea I know, but I can sell and replace for next to nothing so it makes me feel better.....plus I'm a equipment junkie....Thanks for letting me share;)

The oldest one we have has 1000 hrs on it. I don't keep equipment long enough for it to break. I would freak out if I had a unit with 4000 hrs on it. I've had Alkota's, Mi-T-M's, & Landa's....guess Hydro-Tek is next.

No and No, wont be strong enough to do anything. The off gassing with the percarb would probably interfere with downstreamer anyway. Do you have a roof pump? Run it through there, quicker than a pump up.+100 Charlie

You couldn't give me a rapid reel, they blow. Is it that important that the reel pivot?

I guess it depends on your area of expertise. Personally I haven't done an "On-Site" house wash estimate in 3 years. Sure, larger jobs, concrete or something like that needs eyes on. Knowing your area is key.

Guy....I'm assuming when you tell a customer that it would be 4 times the price it is a bluff trying to get them not to hire you or allow you to use bleach. What if someone says they are willing to pay the 4x if there was no bleach involved. What would be your method of cleaning it? What if any alternatives to bleach would you use?Great question! I have absolutely no idea.

Welcome Buddy and Good Luck!

I've had several customers say the same thing about bleach, thing is they are not educated on what it is or proper usage. After I talk with them they don't have a problem with it anymore. If one would have "Insisted No Bleach" I would have passed the job or told them it would be 4 times the normal charge.

No matter what you do the results will be way less than perfect, and whoever you're working for needs to understand that. Heat, pressure, and a turbo nozzle will help if the concrete can take it. This is a job that can take up a lot of time so charge accordingly.

I'm not just someone who bought a pressure washer last week and wants to make an easy dollar.I have done research just not much on decks.Easy Buddy, no one said you were. Take it down a notch on the sensitivity.
If its just a wash job why would you consider stripping the Thompson's off??? Washing is washing & stripping is stripping and preparing the wood for stain, so which is it? Washing costs less, stripping cost more.
-
New PT wood is what I call "Green" natural oils and the pressure treatment chemicals are still fresh in the wood, therefore it will not accept stain in the same way an older weathered wood....would. Results will be blotchy at best and never come close to matching the older wood.

No, but if I were in a confined space I would.

I would say that if you were doing roofs all the time go with the all flow, but for occasional roof cleaning, chem transfer and soaping concrete I'd go with the fatboy.
