its amazing to see the amount of people who are gone from several years ago,it shows how badly damaged this business was hit over the last 2 years. its a shame to see so many people who spent so much of there time investing in growing the business dissapear. the gutter source forum was a great board.

How much did it cost you to start?
timhays replied to Little Buddy's question in Residential Pressure Washing
i started out with a $2000 pressure washer from northern and starved for a couple years 10k-50k building up the business,we did $280k in 06 with myself and 1 assistant. then the building boom bursted and we were 100 percent leveraged in new construction. the drought for the last 2 years has hurt business as well. profits have not been the same since 2007 but things are picking up around here -

xjet = downstreamer with variable nozzle?
timhays replied to premiumpowerwash's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
i currently manufacture a fully CNC Machined Acid injector that we feel has many advantages to the traditional long range injectors on the market. it is slightly more expensive than the e spec version but priced competitive to the x-jet. i would welcome any comparison testing to the x-jet and feedback. on a 7gpm test skid the simpson injector would draw 5 gallons in 2 minutes 15 seconds. our injector emptied the same 5 gallons in 1 minute 55 seconds. the distance of spray covered 25-35 feet. construction is 316 stainless for corrosion resistance and is completely modular for replacement of individual components should that ever be neccessary. this injector was built for a long lifespan in comparison to the welded simpson injectors that we used to have the welds disintegrate within 6 months. -
How did you survive the recession. Did you survive? What changes did you make to win
timhays replied to gutterdog's topic in Business Topics & Tips
2 years ago i had to start a new business as pretty much everything collapsed here starting with the water restrictions and then the builder default,it is starting to pick up around here so we are gearing up to get back into the industry. the bright side is i became a manufacture and have a steady business with sales in the US and 15 different countries. recently i was able to revisit and update a product that we used to make for ourselves while working in the powerwashing business and will be offering them for retail in the next week or so. supposedly we are exiting the reccession but will be a while before we forget about it,and you never know when the next one is around the corner. -
