Purper Power is great to clean your rims too don't let sit to long though. Also watch out it will eat your car's clear coat and paint....watch for over spray. Quick removel is the key to this product.

Thanks guys I will change a few prices and look again for the new equipment that I will be acquiring. I have two Dodge dualies with Cummins enclosed walk in beds. I will measure and try to make a system fit. Now off the Alkota.com, Tough, and Simpson. Thanks for the info. Dan

Carolina Pro I hope you understand That is why I posted. I dont want to over bid or underbid. I wanted to get the right equipment and do the job right. Period This is why I was wondering if I was to high or to low and if I was in the ball park. So which way should the prices have changed Prices go as followed Roofs 1000-2000sqft =180 2000-3000sqft =230 3000-4000sqft =280 Houses 1000-2000sqft =150 2000-3000sqft =190 3000-4000sqft =230 Decks is .5--.6 cents a sqft Sealing is $20.00 hour Decks was added because many of the hotels and homes were asking about them. Plus in value pak there is a company advertising deck cleaning 15*12 for 39.00, one story powerwash 89.00, two story powerwash 109 and roof wash 199. (George Ronan powerwash) was the company name. We were just doing homes and roofs till about last month. I just guess I was thinking maybe folks were going to tell me to raise the roof wash or lower the house wash or raise what you charge to clean a deck to .10 cent. you know what I mean. I am very sorry for all the huff. I was looking for info and so far all I understand is that the prices for sealing should be sqft not hourly rate and it is low and cleaning decks is low. What would be the average price? Thanks again Dan

I'm sorry if you find an inconsistency that is not my problem. My company is run by numbers I charge the government 50.00 for a 1000 pound sinker, guess how much a couple of yards of 3000 psi concrete are. Well more that 50.00 bucks But when your pouring about 1500 of them then you get a nice break, not to mention the real cost of the sinker would be the eye or anchor that is attached to it. The shipping is even included. So get this, to go to Tenn. make the forms, call a concrete company to pour, set the eyes and ship them to their destination and come home cost $50.00. Don’t get it. Then I'm sorry you wont ever. Well Ken I guess I have to fill you in on how to make your employees subcontractors Now ohhh here we go If you get the jobs say marketing and you sign on two guys and make them their own boss’s I guess you wont have to pay there expenses, hum. How about make your company a LLC and stop drawing a check (paying taxes twice) have the LLC pay your home expenses. So I tell the boy's when there not running the bids I will have work for them with the second half of the company Leaffilter, gutters, power washing, replacement windows, ect. So my cost is minimal but they take more profit. I didn’t say what Dagan netted went into my pocket. This is sales, I make pennies on the dollar with power washing, the guys make the $18.00 an hour and I get $2.00 now remember that is to stain a deck that doesn’t include the materials or any other type of work. I also install windows and leaffilter and gutters that make more profit for the company and more for the sub/emp. Power washing is not my bread and butter. As for you it must be. I don’t see how you can think that a newbie too the forum is just some smuck. I find responses with attitude uneducated remarks. But I do appreciate your 2 cents. Now to get back to the reason I posted. I just wanted a little direction and to know if I was close. Not to hear what you would call soft criticism. That really discourages others. Me giving my guys something to do when there rotating months on and off Is a benefit for keeping some of the guys happy and wanting to stay because in my world you come second and the employees come first. Remember your employees run your company, and its up to you to oversee and make sure they are happy. Other wise you wont get anywhere. A happy employee will make you money. And again those that helped answer or give good advice I would commend you and thank you. An yes Kenn if you were trying to help from your bottom of your heart I forgive you for questioning and your uncouth attitude. You don’t know me or know how I run my company so you can’t question anything. Quote “I know your expenses are considerably higher than mine. If you have found a way to carry liability, workman's comp, support (spelling)->mutliple employee payroll, taxes, chemicals and machinery expense and still make a profit at $20 per hour” ß--this is what I was talking about I asked if my prices where right not to hear any of this. I’m very sorry if I offend anyone but this burns my britches. Dan

Did anyone catch that I was wondering it myself. Chemistry of Sodium Hypochlorite Reacting chlorine and sodium hydroxide will produce Sodium Hypochlorite Cl2 +2NaOH = NaOCL + NaCl + H2O Chlorine + Sodium Hydroxide + Sodium Hypochlorite + Sodium Chloride + Water

Thanks very much for the info. I don’t mind being the low price right now. As I see it I will be taking the jobs most of the Professionals will not want to do. But to build this half of my company I must start somewhere and as this part of my company grows I will increase the prices. As any new company you have to find the market and I think I have started off in the right direction. This is why I have posted asking a few?’s. I know your company is only as good as your employees and as good as you can lead and teach. I only employ 2 people for this half of my company. Dagan Enterprises is registered with SCC, IRS, City of Poquoson, Central Contractors Registration, Defense Logistics Agency, FedTeds, Fedbizzopps, and Department of Professional occupational regulation and hope to add a few others that will further add the needed help and open market I will be looking for. Dagan Enterprises is a small business contractor for the government and involved in three contracts at the moment. Pouring concrete sinkers for the USCG in 5 states, chemical pipe cleaning of the USCG cutter fleet, and doing PM's on digital imagers on the VA medical hospitals In the South East. I worked for a Company call United Technologies in Va. When the owner sold a year ago I decided to sell my stock that I held in the family Bakery (Brenner’s bakery) and started a company to do mostly Preventive maintenance for the Government. But now Dagan is split in two, we do Preventive Maintenance for Residential and Commercial also. We install LeafFilter gutter protection, gutters, windows, and will be doing the removal of roof algae, house washing and deck washing. I believe that these things are a job done based on a Preventive measure. I find myself a positive movement in the market and will do no harm. I want to offer this service and know I am doing the best I can at it. I started this company when I was 25 and I have not stopped once to think I can’t do anything. My Teacher or mentor who helped me start this company has 3 doctrines and I tend to soak as much info from him as I can, plus he flies me back and forth from site visit to site visit. (He calls it feeding the horses) I think He’s just bored and rich. So Thank you all for any help or questions answered. I’ve been all over this forum and I couldn’t get good answers to my questions. But now since I have gave my facts I see a different trend of answers. Thank you all Dan

Thanks guys, what about the chemicals for house washing or deck cleaning? Whats the best type of deck sealers I should be offering? Does anyone have climbing gear? What about the extention with the wheels and nozzles on it? Anyone ever uses it? I feel like a 5 year old asking why, why, why. lol
