23 years in business. We've never been the cheapest never will. There always be a 99$ guy out there.
Mane you’ve been in business damn near my entire life🤣
Let’s freaking go,
No $99 guys allowed on this channel

Plz respond tryin to start up mine atm
@@Davids_Life345dont worry about what you charge that is stupid, make sure you make a profit. If you can charge 100 and make money then do it, then slowly move the price up as you get better equipment and do more.
I cleaned a house/ mansion today that was dirty. great info fellow soft washer….. YOU ROCK

@@Tristan.Kalinacould you reply to me plz
Every bit of that was true ! Glad I stumbled upon this video, great job
Appreciate you fam!!!
Well said, charisma goes a long way, but you must have the skill and confidence to back it up,
You seem to have it,
New sub,
Thanks for taking the time ✊
Appreciate you family !!! 🤝
Keep it up!
The haters gonna hate.
The silent gonna learn!
Yessir!
Great advice🙏🏼
What would you recommend when it comes to chemical licensing? Should i start without chemicals and get the license as i go?
I'd want to know at least roughly how well I could book leads before spending on marketing. I'd probably target local property management, landscaping, painting companies etc before spending on 3rd party marketing. Once I had some running experience I'd definitely be looking to spend for digital marketing though!
Networking is so key.
If you’re looking to fill up your schedule do that.
Thanks.Can't wait for the link for pricing jobs ✌
It’s on my RUclips!

I've been in the pressure washing game for 40 years now but I've not been self employed but worked for government departments. Started off cleaning railway diesel locomotives where you sit on a stool with four wheels underneath the locomotive where you wear a one piece thick PVC suit to keep you dry using a hot pressure washer at 95 degrees and peel the grease and dirt off. The loco over you is revved up because on each axle are electric traction motors and there are 6 of them (250K each) and the traction motor blower keeps the traction motor cool and stops the water from the pressure washer getting into them and stuffing them permanently. The fuel tank on a road car or truck is tiny in comparison to diesel locomotives which can hold over 21K litres of diesel and if any dirt gets into the fuel tank that too has to be pressure cleaned and it's not easy for the tank is compartmentalised and only has small access holes on the sides and bottom. The diesel engine itself was cleaned using a pressure washer and some diesels engines were inside a car body so a long lance couldn't be used because it was impossible to get it between the cylinders which are the diameter of a side plate so a short 300-400mm lance was used.
I now work for local government cleaning BBQ's and surface cleaning park pathways and walkway areas outside shops.
Man that’s dope!
Government official!
@@Tristan.Kalina Along came Covid and loads of people got laid off work and many businesses never restated again but being a public servant we never got laid off. One bloke said I was a bastard because I kept my job and he didn't. I retorted well if you got a job in the public service you'd still have a job. He said oh I don't want to work for the government so I said then stop complaining that you're unemployed then. The public service here is hard to get into but once in and you have a job for life. It's almost impossible to get fired from the public service. Unlike America being a full time employee I get 6 weeks paid holiday leave each year + 3 weeks paid sick leave which can accrue if I don't take it and I now have 54 weeks of paid sick leave accrued. Being in Australia we also get long service leave which is more paid time off in addition to holiday leave. It can accrue too and I have 33 weeks of long service leave accrued. All employers here have to provide that to full time employees. Casual employees get the time off for long service leave, sick days and holidays but aren't paid for it. To compensate them they get a much higher rate of pay. But in business downturns the casuals are the first out the door.
@@AussiePom casuals are usually out first, completely true
I charge approximately 19 cents depending on the difficulty of the job to 20 cents per square foot
Thank you 🙏🏾 new sub ❤
Thanks for subbing! You've got this!
@@Tristan.Kalina thanks 🙏🏾
You could DETAIL cars too. But before you do, adjust the pressure of the PSI and air!!
No doubt, I always stick to a few services and be great at them.
But have thought about detailing
My retirement plan is to start an outdoor maintenance business including lawn care and pressure washing using equipment I already own. I would not need to buy anything. I have a 2700psi washer, Toro walk behind, Stihl Trimmer and chainsaw, a blower, shovels, rakes, brooms and a truck to haul it in. I can add a stander zero turn later, and rent a cherry picker locally for bigger jobs.
Let’s do it!!!!
@@Tristan.Kalina thanks. Right now I’m about 18 months away from retirement, but I might start trying to run it as a side hustle before then. If I set up a DBA, I can transfer ownership on paper of the equipment, and Schedule C the a portion of my mortgage interest, property taxes, utilities etc until I can establish a proper business location. I ran a photography business like this for a few years, and we run my wife’s data mining business this way. There’s quite a tax benefit there.
@@bobcole612 absolutely!!!
Go and kill it if you got questions LMK
You said in one of your short videos that all you use is soap to clean a house...how is that possible?
Soft washing.
You can utilize chemical to clean an exterior of a house.
How do you stay busy in winter times?
Christmas lights, gutter cleaning, investments
Roof repairs and guttering
Do you let those windows dry by them selfs
Nope, rinse with water right after
What crm are you using?
HouseCallPro, Jobber, and Markate are all great👍🏼
Can I use a the ryobi 1800 psi pressure washer to start up ?
How many GPM?
@@Tristan.Kalina 1.2 GPM
@@foreignrag7382 Would recommend at least a 4gpm

My buddy’s pressure washing business failed because he kept pressure washing swastikas into driveways and walls.
Not good
@@Tristan.Kalina it was OK. At least he had a positive message and a good attitude.

Greetings from Filthy Force Pressure Cleaning down here in south Florida! Our business is currently in its infancy. We have our equipment and about to finalize our door hangars and flyers before we order them. My biggest issue is figuring out a vehicle since my truck literally just took a shit! 😅
Nice to meet you 🤝
Keep reinvesting in marketing.
You can start with a small inexpensive car or truck
@youngpressurewasher Thank you for the advice, sir!
@@FilthyForce go get it!
uhaul trucks run about 20$ a day or so locally.
Mostly what I see in so many house washing videos is the lack of detailed work. I have yet to see anyone push window screens up and brush the glass and clean out window sill. I see people touting 20-30 minute house washing....Too me,.that is why they don't last....Shitty work ethic. Some people only clean gutters with house wash mix,..That wouldn't cut it with me,..they need brightened with a butyl based cleaner. The customer doesn't really have a say,..It is part of my house wash,...(Not gonna leave them dull and dirty)....All concrete sidewalks and patios are done automatically,...I give one price and they know what they're getting,..that picking and choosing of what to clean is for the birds....(Aside from roofs and deck cleaning),..But those are separate services altogether...Washing since 1996...
If gutter brightening, all concrete is part of your ONLY price.
Respectfully, you’re doing it wrong.
My buddy went out of business by doing that.
Packages are how you increase your average ticket.
@@Tristan.Kalina Started in 1996 and have a 300+ regular customers list,....Must be doing something right....
@@Tristan.Kalina I don't think people like to feel like they're being "nickeled and dimed" into extra cost for services that should already be included on a house wash. They called to have things cleaned up...Look at it like this,..the price would be the same if it was itemized or priced all inclusive. I'm not doing the gutters and concrete for free,...I'm just not giving the option,...They want things looking nice,.and so do I....
@@Tristan.Kalina And my bet is your buddy went out of business due to other circumstances....Watching alot of these videos on here I can see why many people don't make it....Not enough attention to detail and washing as fast as they can to collect a check and move on to the next job. Multiple repeat customers is the main goal at the end of five years...I doubt he was performing the work that satisfied the customer,..not the way it was priced....
@@RaystownPressureWashing-1996cool,
There’s always innovative ways to do things better.
Presenting just one price is doing a disservice to your customer base.
Increase ticket and produce a magnificent experience with results and you’ll have retaining customers.
silly af, you start with what you got and build. even if its a dogshit electric.
This is the worse pressure washing I've seen. you don't know wtf you're doing, and it shows.
Lol.
Worst*
Real Talk!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good info......taken directly from Mike V. Could you copy him more 😂.
Stop.
This was all created at the top of my head. I like my creativity and style. That’s how I flow and always have flown.
@@washhoss not even going to entertain that.
Clown comment bro
You were reading it directly from mikes videos😂😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing - this kid is just copy and pasting and gets like 2 views- this is the most comments he's ever seen 😢
@@MannyOrtega69Uhow about focus on your own channel/life rather than hating on someone who’s trying give free advice?
