Bfenne, I wash houses with an 18’ or 24’ extend-a-wand. First I wet the house from the bottom up using an xjet. After wetting the house I apply the soap using the xjet again. At this point another cleaner is applied by brush on an extended poll to clean the gutters. The cleaner for the gutters is much stronger and can do damage if left on to long. As soon as the gutters are brushed there are cleaned with a #12 (4012 approx 700psi) nozzle. This same nozzle is then used to clean and rinse the house. With 2 people we usually repeat this for each side of the house. Just like Tony C. I only use ladders for the garage side if needed. I live in Morris county NJ, which is not that far from Easton. If you would like to see a house wash is done or need to talk to somebody feel free to call me. Jack Kramer A Brilliant Solution LLC 973 927 4449

I bought the videos from Delco 2 years ago and was very disappointed. They are very boring and poorly done. I would recommend you try to attend the PWNA conference and take the classes that interest you. If you can’t make the conference try to contact someone outside your area and see if you can work with them for a couple days for free. Good Luck

Stephen Howland from Extend-A-Wand called me today and apologized for the problems I have been having. He explained that they stand behind their product 100% and he would send out a replacement wand. Stephen informed me that a replacement wand was sent out last year but was lost in shipping. This renewed my faith in Extend-A-Wand.

Russell, I charge $5.00 a linear foot to clean and seal for a 6' fence and $7.00 for a shadow box per side. Fences tend to take alot of sealer (I use Ready Seal). I don't get many fences but they are not worth doing for less.

Last year I bought a scale to weight HD-80 and Oxcilic acid. I carefully weighted 8 ounces of each as well as several other dry chemicals. To my surprise all the dry chemicals weighed ended up being 1 Cup. I returned the scale and now use a measuring cup.

Ronnie, Last year I bought the 24 foot extend-a-wand as it could reach the highest point of most homes. My distributer advised me yo buy the 18 foot wand as it is much lighter. After 2 weeks of using the 24 foot wand I bought the 18 foot wand as well. I use both of them all the time. If I only need 18 feet I uses the smaller one but there are many time the 24 foter is needed. Good Luck

I am working on an estimate sheet using EXCEL. Could you please send me a copy of yours to see if I missed anything KramerJ@mail.com. Once I complete mine I will send it to anyone that who wants it. Thanks, Jack

The pricing mentioned above is what I use in New Jersey. A house and deck cleaning of property you described (assume 2 story) would take approximately 3 hours. A price of $300 to $400 would be a good ballpark number. Don’t count on getting $800 for 3 hours of work. If you would like to talk please feel free to call me at 973 927 4449.

Please send both to me at KramerJ@Mail.com Thanks
