My name is Joe. I own a pressure washing business based in Jacksonville, Florida. I started my business in March of 2023.

I offer roof soft washing, house cleaning, driveway pressure washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning. Please consider subscribing to my channel if you want to learn how to start a pressure washing business. Also, don’t forget to ask any questions, and comment all your ideas, and suggestions!

Something about that dirt road has me wanting to go drive on that. For being totally dirt it looks smoother than most of the ashpalt roads in my town lol. From what I heard, the bleach can edge the glass if its too strong. The streaks very well may be the soap though. Really enjoy your content man, very relatable with the size of your operation right now and where I am (albeit youre busier lol). Keep it up mate
Thanks buddy! The dirt roads are definitely nice! Keep it up 💪💪
Hell yeah dude its badass to see you working out of that truck. Subbing right now
Yes sir! I’m actually not in that truck anymore, I blew it up 😂
@joeallenpressurewashing lol well hey at least she made you some money.
@@fsb_-bf3th oh for sure buddy! I gave her hell lol
The tips are right but you have 100 or 200 feet of line to clear out before you get only water 👍
Correct ❤️💪
man thats a big single wide...nice work my freind
Thank you Jeremy! 💪
If you’re downstreaming roofs when you have a softwash setup you’re hurting yourself boss lol. That whole house, roof and siding in and out in an hour!
I cringe at how dumb I was at that dumb brother. Believe me 😂😂
@@joeallenpressurewashing eh it’s all a learning curve boss! Trust me when I first opened I had no idea Softwashing was a thing. I took a 2-3 year break, and now it’s softwash everything. Honestly I do a lot of roofs, so I just use my softwash rig. I’ll dilute the mix a little to apply to houses, just seems to get me in and out quicker!
My jrod stops pulling chem but it back flows water in my chem jug. I ruined a whole 2 1/2 gallon jug before i realized it. So now i still always walk to the truck and pull the hose out my chem jug. I think its because i have the jug right next to the injector but i dont have a choice right now. I dont have any large tanks
That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of that honestly. I use a 15 gallon Chem tank I got off FB marketplace for $10
You got a check valves installed?
Hey bro, thank you for the video. Would you be able to tell me what you charged for this roof? Thanks a bunch!
I only charged $400. I downstreamed it from the ladder.
I definitely undercharged it in retrospect.
Great stuff thanks for the brain food.
❤️💪🤘
Nice work Joe! These are the nozzles I use with my 4 gpm machine.
4 GPM kit includes: 0040(soap high), 0010(rinse high) ,2540(soap low), 2510(rinse low)
The 2510 nozzle puts out a lot of volume. I definitely stand back a little while rinsing but I can put my hand in the stream and it not dismember me 😂😂 When I’m on my last side after I put soap down I’ll go pull my tube and put it into a bucket of water to rinse the injector. Then rinse with soap tips
damn, thats good stuff right there buddy! I'm gonna have to do that for sure! appreciate it!
Your method of cleaning is called #hardwashing
All of those are gonna pull bleach. Do you pull the dip stick out to rinse?
yes thats what i've been doing.
@@joeallenpressurewashing rinse with your soap tips in and don’t go pull the dip stick. When your ready to shut the bleach off just stay on the trigger but slightly close your ball valve. You will start to hear a slight hiss from the valve and this will produce enough back pressure to shut off the Venturi of the injector even though your using a soap tip. Then open it back up again when you want to just applying more bleach. I don’t necessarily recommend doing this all the time for a full house Wash, but it works really good. If you just need to rinse a small area or maybe you just wanna throw some water on some plants or whatever real quick and you don’t have to run back to the truck.
Do u use surfactants?
I did for a while and stopped recently. I forgot my surfactant at home and did a job without it and realized it still worked without it and I rinsed faster
Question what type of equipment gpm etc. & skid do you recommend for pressure washing dumpster pads & restaurant walkways any advice would highly be appreciated!! God bless you and your family
I have never done either one of those. Wish I could help! God bless you and your family as well! ❤️
Is this a galvalume roof?
Yes, I used a 1% house mix with the downstream injector. Very important to keep the roof wet and don’t let chemical dry.
Hey do they ask you for a business license to purchase the chlorine?? I was asked for one at a place here in wonderful CA! Wtf.
no, they don't ask. sounds like CA is a lot more strict.
Sadly California does ask for a license. I am in SF Bay area. Your best bet is homedepot but their SH is only 10% and a bit more expensive
@@baywashexteriorsca now I didn’t ask if it’s the business license they want, or the contractor license?…
@@baywashexteriorscawhere in the Bay Area do they sell wholesale SH?? Is it much of a difference in price?
You need to fix your bypass valve before you get hurt. That sudden rush of pressure everytime you pull the trigger is from a bad or improperly adjusted bypass.
Interesting. Do I need a new one?
No your fine. The initial burst of pressure is because you have a trapped pressure unloader. You know the thing with the black handle that adjusts the pressure. Just point away from the house when you initially pull the trigger my guy.
i did a bucket test to check my ds injector. i just wanted to be sure lol
💪💪💪
8:25 I got some tips and tried them out. I can't remember off hand, but by the time the pressure builds enough to not pull soap it's too high pressure for rinsing. The 0 degree one is definitely not ideal. I took them off and keep all soaker nozzles and I use those to rinse and soap. I just have to go back and pull the downstream from the bleach to the water
that's what i've been doing! one day i'll have that machine that does it from a click of a button. flopro or something like that
@@joeallenpressurewashing yep. That's my plan for the next big purchase. Maybe after another 5 jobs
3:00 that's interesting, mine pulls 7 to 1 lol. I have 4gpm and a 2.1 injector
how did you figure that out?
@joeallenpressurewashing I put my downstream into a gallon jug and sprayed into a 15 gallon jug until the gallon was empty
@joeallenpressurewashing when I did mine, I wound up with 8 gallons in the jug. Meaning 7 gallons of water to 1 gallon of bleach. When I washed the siding and windows at my day job, and another patio. I put 3 gallons of 10% bleach and 2 gallons of water in my 5 gallon jug. It has been enough to melt away all the spider webs and poop and dead bugs
