Hey I’m a 19 year old starting my own business in Tennessee. Your videos have been really helpful. Anytime I got question I’ve been coming to your videos
Thank you for watching!
What part of Tennessee?
@@AustinDavis24I I'm a new business and one of my first clients has limestone walls, I could really use some advice on my SH dilution ratio
I’m in Sevierville!
Thaaaaank you so much for taking the time to make these vids bro. These vuds from start to finish with you talking the whole time I learn a ton
I worked as a pool technician in phoenix for the past 5 months in peak summer. 10 hour days in 110+ heat. All for $18hr. I can't wait to switch over to managing myself and working hard for my own results and not some company idc about. Good videos!
Hell yea!
Bro, same here, but in VA/MD, so not as hot but humid af. Good luck to you. I'm starting my business as we speak!!
These videos are more than awesome. You’re my top pressure washing youtuber. Your videos are the most realistic version of what starting a pressure washing business really is like. Always straight forward and entertaining. You deserve so many more subscribers
Thank you so much!
Austin your videos honestly have helped me a lot with my business. I think of all the guys on RUclips your probably the one offered the best information and have the most realistic videos of what’s it’s like to own and upkeep in this business. Trying to start something at 17 is difficult but your videos have helped tremendously man.
I appreciate that!
Loved the vid man, been taking your advise and my first year is business is going great. Keep it up! 🙂
I appreciate the knowledge and transparency
Austin I love your personality, professional but also has character! Also amazing video man!
We are loving the new wrap! Looks great with the skid 😉😉
I do have to admit... having that rig for your washing...makes things easier. Plug and Play... but thanks for showing how it gets done. I appreciate the content bro.
I appreciate it you saying how much you make on the jobs. One thing I struggle with is how much to charge for different things house, pavers, etc. 👍
Loving your videos and how straight talking you are Austin
Thank you!
Have an extra sd card have on hand in the truck swap out when your memory gets full. Probably could help fam
I totally agree about not leaving your job until you have some time under your belt. I had no choice but it was brutal!
Good video brother. Thanks for the transparency!
Do you love those electric reels ? Or do you love ❤️ those electric reels⚡️ ?
If only we could get an electric cyber truck …
I really like the video. I live only 40 minute from Waynesboro, VA. Small world man!
electric hose reel are damn genius! I gonna get that once I got more business!
I just went by the Texas Power Wash Store today as well! It's right around the corner from me.
Good content man I am in your area and am also a 26 y/o running a service for about the past 5 years!
I just bought the same hat! It's a sign that im pursuing the right business!
Haha I totally resonate with the home owner having to put away her barking dog. It happens almost every single day with my business. 😂
Nice truck, bro!
Keep it coming homie , I’m 38 and a father of 5 looking into pressure washing. Got introduced through a neighbor and can see lots of potential thx to your videos. I know shit doesn’t just happen and you got to grind like a MF , but your personality and way of looking at it makes it seem totally worth the time
I get into pressure washing when I was 38. That was the best decision I ever made.. I wish you the best in your journey
Speedy recovery bro
Jehovah is my shepherd I will lack nothing.
What gun/tip setup did you use when washing the pavers? Thanks!
???? QUESTION??????
When applying SH to porches with ceiling fans how do you soap and rinse the dirty fans???
Thank You!!🤷♂️👍👍✌️
That house turned out great. Electric or gas pump on this job? What do you use most / recommend? Thank you
Great job, setting customer expectations is important. Where did you purchase your uniform from?
What do you tape the outlets with?
Hey Austin. Quick question. Do you personally rinse the solution off the roof when cleaning it or do you leave it on for the next rain? Thanks
What kind of skid did you get?
How long did you let the chemicals soak for in the back of the house b4 u rinsed?
Phone call from the lawyer: "And I quote "hey, sue me"... does this sound familiar Austin?" 😂
No remind me
Also can i ask ya what company you went through for the shirts
austin where do you get your shirts,nice video
Hey bro, I'm 21, just started in Phoenix a couple months ago. I do go door to door with my friend for window washing using his DI tank. I'm skilled with flooring and I already work with a couple real estate agents. I'm just curious, which method gets the most leads? Did you ever go to businesses asking to give them a quote? Also, should I care about insurance at this point?
How many gpm is your pressure washer and what size buffer do you use? ...good vids
Love your videos man, im looking to get into the business in the near future and seeing the work you do really inspires me! Keep it up boss
What’s the link for the gun set up
Great stuff man
“Good carbohydrates” AKA when it fits your macros all carbs are good carbs
Hey Austin, where do you get your shirts? They’re very nice looking!
I thoroughly enjoy your "Day in the Life" vids. I think it'd be fun to be your videographer for a few jobs.
I do need a videographer…
They are my favourite to watch out of all pressure washing buds so informative and watching is learning i personally learn very well watching people, these vids are the closest you can get to learning from someone like your on the job site, appreciate your videos and you keep on grinding!
I'm in Az but if you want to work something out and buy my tix, I'd be happy to go out to Austin and shoot for you! @@AustinDavis24
Kinda funny that you use a laundry analogy talking about surfactant when some people use laundry detergent for surfactant… 😅
I just purchased a water fed pole and was wondering if you had any videos walking through some of the stuff you do to clean windows?
I don’t but they’re are plenty of videos on RUclips to refer to
Looking good man, definitely some more muscle mass
Thank you! 5’11 190
@@AustinDavis24 awesome. 200 and lean in no time. Keep up the good work
When doing a house wash, what are you doing at the end with the windows? Do you go back and wipe them down or just leave them how they are. Thank you!
No I don’t. I never have issues with spots on the windows after. Nor have I ever gotten any complaints
Do you have a link for that cold plunge? Looks nice!
I do not. Just google relive cold plunge
Hi Austin, really appreciate your videos. What are the dangers of not rinsing roofs? Some guys do some don't
No dangers really. Just make sure you have irrigated around the house properly
Careful using duct tape covering fixtures. Painter's tape is definitely the move. You risk pulling off finishes and damaging such things. Ask me how I know.
Where did you order the cold plunge from??
Relive
You should be using a respirator to avoid breathing chemicals. Stay safe out there!
Hey Austin! Love your channel. I have a question. During one of your episodes you mentioned a company that gets you onto GMB and you said that the guy is very reliable? Wh
at was his name and company's name?
It’s in the description of this video. Social media pros. His name is Sean. Go into the description of this video and click on his link
Where did you get your shirts made? Looked for video. Would like to get some made.
Finprint.com
Got mine on order from finprint right now
Do you tape out door plugs wuth water proof cases? I never did but washed a home and some how the bleach fried the wires and had to call the fire department just to be safe & I normally don't drench walls where water will flow down directly on top of them , I now add clear caulk over the top of them plus tape I'm literally scared to wash anywhere near them now
Lol I just open the outlet and put a piece of duct tape in there and then close the cap and I’m good
@@AustinDavis24 yea my situation was the foam backer that is supposed to be tight to the wall out back of outlet was worn down smdh
Pretty sure you’re parked in the Lakeway HEB parking lot 🤠
1000 likes and I was one of them
What editor do you like to use?
I have a special friend that edits my videos
@@AustinDavis24 that is awesome!
Austin, how do you handle calls and bids while washing?
I hop on the phone and out my wash gun down
What a beast! Not making people wait to hear back keeps that $$$ rolling in!@@AustinDavis24
What do you do with the windows and hard spots or do you have a filter for the water ?
I never have issues with the house wash leaving stains on windows
Remember your selling HOUSE washing services, the windows are definately going to be cleaner AFTER your service regardless. Wetting the whole side of house including windows before working helps cool them off momentarily which lowers chance of quick flashing of minerals in the source water. Also bleach and surfactant when applied some what topically clean the surface all while allowing water to drain off quicker which assists you in achieving less spotty results. Now if you were offering a window washing upsell results you would want to finish the job using a water fed pole or trad (traditional) service using filtered source water.
What’s the cost for a cold plunge?
$4k
Cold plunge befor the gym. sauna or hot shower after
Yessir!
Do homeowners get annoyed by pressure washers that use electricity plus their water? I am thinking about going electric. Also, can I haul a small trailer with my car with magnetic signs with the company name on it supplies instead of buying a van? Please answer. Dude your voice sounds like Ben Affleck.
How do I figure out how much bleach and soap do I need? I have a 13 gallon tank to start with. Need help.
I wouldn’t worry about that but I would use a couple of OX
Oz
Depends on what type surface you cleaning, how dirty it is, and how your applying it (i.e. Xjet-Down Stream Injector-Soft Wash Dedicated Pump-Pump Sprayer. Sounds like your trying to batch mix (bleach/soap) your cleaning solution in a single 13 gallon tank. You need to determine your desired final cleaning mix % based on the type of cleaning surface and how dirty it is then work in how your applying it to determine how much further it will be diluted as it passes to your tip which tells you what the original batch strength % needs to be.
@@altillman1448 I'm thinking about getting a Northstar soft wash system so I can start making money.
So I’ve tried to down stream over and over again with no success so I always just hit everything with soft wash pump then come back with pressure washer to rinse off
I’m running a 4gpm with 200 ft of hose, if you got any suggestions for the downstream I’d more than appreciate it
Your ether not mixing your bleach correctly or the surface you are cleaning is to dirty for the downstream.
I’m sorry I met I can’t get any chemical to pull through the actual down stream injector, here’s a better explanation
Would love some help.
I have a 4gpm machine and I got a 2.1 downstream with a jrod & 200 ft hose
If I hook up up gun with jrod directly to downstream I can pull chem
If I hook gun to 100ft hose I can only pull a little chem (.5 gallon in 2.5 minutes) but with no jrod only with no tip in gun
200 ft I can’t pull any chem in any way
Please help educate me
Sure you have the correct spec. size Jrod for your equip.? 2.1 injector is correct for your spec. of pressure washer equip. Is it an adjustable downstream injector? The $40 general pump model with black turn dial is adjustable 0%-20%. Try adjusting the knob. Also the standard units comed with a steel ball vs. ceramic ball which are not bleach friendly and if not taken care of will corrode internally fast which makes it stick shut. Make sure before you shutdown you are flushing out the injector port by running straight water into the inlet side suction hose. I personally dissasemble and add a spray of ballistol lubricant to inside of my injector port to keep the spring and ball operation healthy before shutting down for the day. Also always keep a backup fully assembled injector with quick disconnects on hand so you can be efficient on the job when things don't go a planned.
Hey man, i started a new pressure washing business here in Mexico, but I’m having a lot of problems because here it isn’t known this type of service so Its difficult to obtain new clients, any tips??
Dude where in Mexico?
im 31 years old austin. im a plumber and just trying to start a pressure washing Business on the side. whats the best way to Approach this situation. I have my buissness on yelp.
Loaded question my friend. Best way to approach it in the simplest way is to just get started. Go down the rabbit hole brotha
@@AustinDavis24 thanks man!
You live in Texas and ordered your rig from VA. I live in VA and I ordered my rig from Doug Rucker in Texas. Lol
Bro…. Should have hit up my guy in Virginia
A local friend of mine said he just found out about him a couple of weeks ago. He said he is cool as crap! Are you staying busy?
I am from Slovenia and I can not charge more than 4$ per square meter. We are so broke haha
Slovenia is also 46% less expensive to live in than Austin, Tx.
Who did you have controlling your marketing when you started off?
Lol
Myself
At what point did you start working with Griggs, and THRYV, and how did that go for you? Looking to have his team run my marketing/website, but wanted to get your take on it because Griggs said he worked with you.
Never smell anything but love to know I’m pulling bleach😅
Hey Austin, think you need a new mic. Great video.
Is it hard to hear??
Your the first person that’s said that
@@AustinDavis24 it was a little bit, but it was the whole video not just when you had the handheld.
You don’t have a water tank on your truck?
I do
@@AustinDavis24 I need advice
Big Ryan Trahan Fan?
Who that
Looking like tigrangertz 🤣
Who that
Don't ever bleach wood! That's for lazy people!
🤷🏼
@AustinDavis24 I should say people that use SH on wood care more about the money than their customer!
Go watch the Wizard of Wood videos. Bleach is fine for a quick home owner surface "clean" but your a pro who should make far more by stating you offer wood "restoration" services using specialized chems for wood. Its all back pack sprayer or even xjet appliable. Apply, wait, rinse off, EASY. You can achieve much better visual results using his 2 step process of percarbonate and oxalic acid to neutralize surface. Could have easily doubled your ticket outcome by applying a quick water based stain from a pump up sprayer too. Upsells are low hanging fruit.
@altillman1448 All these guys know about the 2 step method, but always say it's faster to use bleach so they don't have to do a whole lot of work and can move on to the next dollar.
Too much yapping and cuzing!!
$800 before 12:30, lives in texas, and gets to get the nice gym. As an 18 year old who started a PW business this summer. I envy you haha 🫶🏼
