Can't get too much room!!!!!!!!! I have 18' bumper pull trailer for my residential trailer. I have 2 hot unit in it and a 500 gal tank. I have a 26' gooseneck trailer With a big unit init . A 60 hp. Duetz Diesel turning 2 pumps, have a hot water Landa in the back,500 gal. tank and a 100 gal soap tank. I have a 32' gooseneck with a bigger unit. 80 hp. John Deere diesel turning 3 pumps 7gal@3600psi. 1000 gal tank and 100 gal soap tank. Now we do a lot of big agriculture jobs with these bigger trailers that we send 3 men to for all day. So these big daddys are too big for the average every day house washer. But that 18' does seem pretty small somedays. I guess you may say that I wouldn't have to haul so much water but I feel I have to. Just today I had a house that didn't have any water at all so I said I'll go do another house first fill my tank up there then go to the place that didn't have water, well it turns out that the first place didn't have much water either so I went down the road a mile or two and filled up then went back and finished and just had enough to do the second place too!! Hey give me a call and I'll give you some lil tips.!!! 717-532-2692 Jay R.

What kind of residential pressure washing are you doing?
FullBlast replied to Beth n Rod's question in Residential Pressure Washing
We wash about anything. Houses, decks, drives, walks, machinery, ag barns etc... My slogan is: We wash anything thats dirty!! and 10-4 good buddy we stick to that too!!!!! One day we were washing some equipment for a farmer, his tracktors, haybines, balers, manure spreaders etc... and we got the spreader done and he wondered if would wash the inside of the spreader.?!?!:lgsad: I said yea for this much more which was not bad money but the next time someone wants one done on the inside I will either price myself out of it or come out of it a millionaire. Was wondering if anybody else on here washes agriculture building? Hog barn, chicken houses, turkey house etc... We do a lot of them. -
I've had a couple houses I washed that had them black shooting mold spores that comes out of the mulch around the house. How do you get them off? They are on there hard most of the time. Any good sollutions?!?

10-4 on that. Thats good real good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That what I've come to deside, they just don't come off. Had one man call and thats all he had that he wanted done to his house was to et them all off, I just told him I didn't want to even waste my time on it. OK thanks for that!!:)

I'm getting a pile of deck washes this spring and I'm just uncertian how to make a decent bid on them. I have been just taking a guess how long it takes to do it then give it a shot. I tend to come up on the short side. What range of price do you figure per square ft.? How do you figure for the railing? So much a ft. or so much a spindle?
-
Hey thanks for the input. We'll see what we can come up with.

Len your right that is a very good point Thanks!!!

Hey Jesse, You say for $15.20 you can have a man? Does the $15.20 cover the $10 for him or is that over and above that yet? Thats per hr. right? How do you get hooked up with them?

Yea ok not sure if I time tonite. I have some jobs to look at and a trailer to pick up that was at the shop today. But I may get up with sometime. My big problem right now is finding good dependable help, which I guess is everybody problem. Had fellow that was going to start last mon. called him sat. eve to tell what time to meet us, says no I guess not I found another job!!!! Ain't that cool?!? At least he could give me a call!!!!! Hey thanks!!!

Yea thanks for coming back to me. I looked you up to see where you were too!! Hey theres room for everyone here I think. I tend to try to bid a job by how well to do the place is keeping in mind that I don't want to lose a job. I started my business by myself and know what its like to be desperate for work and still can't stand to miss a job by being to high. I have grew a good bit in the last 4 years from working by myself to 3 truck on the road now so my thinking is going to have to change to. I can't do job for what I use to when I was by myself with no insurance and no help. Hired man can't keep up to my pace either so that effects my biding too!! So I'm trying to get some tips to try making a lil beter on some these jobs. It was just gaeting to be to often that I would bid a job then walk away and kick myself for biding to low. Also how do bid on sealing these decks? What for sealer do you use? Thanks!!!!!!

Hey ClassicPW I've been washing for about four years now, :lgbonk:most of the time by myself and been fairly busy but now I just bought out another business and have three trucks and trailers on the road with 4-5 employees working. Now I have pretty much work but sometimes I dont know about next week. You said that you did some extensive addvertising, and I was wondering what all you do as far a running ads? I'm in a couple phone books and a few news papers. I thought if you would have few tips they would sure appreciated.!!!!! Thanks!!!!:lgsideway
