    Great start man. Definitely something wrong with that pressure for sure. It looks like a restriction somewhere in your system if I had to guess. Keep up the hard work dont let negative comments get to you, but dont be afraid to learn a thing or two either. Keep an open mind and you will flourish!

    Great start Jacob. I’m in Oklahoma giving it a go part time again (2nd season). I just subscribed. Remember to factor and put back about 20-25% from each job for taxes. That $520 you made Uncle Sam gets $130. $390 is still a great payday! Keep up your hustle. Customers will like your personality and honesty. Be transparent. Tell em Uncle Sam eats away at your profit if anyone thinks you are too high. Up your prices a bit. They don’t like paying taxes either and will understand. Nice video today!

    • @Jacobjordanpressurewashing
      @Jacobjordanpressurewashing  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yea I always take out a percentage for taxes if I get paid through check but with cash I just pocket it and don’t report it. But 100% I always keep that in mind, taxes suck lol

      Hey man! In terms of experience not a ton, I did a few pressure washing jobs under another company as in few I mean literally like 3 jobs it was with a family friend, then I saved up 4 grand to put towards the business bought the rig, llc, insurance, some other tools and cleaning supplies and got going, but it’s a step by step process don’t be to eager and take your time, I’ve been in business for 2 months exactly though.

    So you just use pool bleach and mix with water for the concrete? What ratio do you use? Looking for some help on which chemicals to use as I'm just getting started.

    • @Jacobjordanpressurewashing
      @Jacobjordanpressurewashing  6 месяцев назад

      No worries brother basically there’s 10% sodium Hypochlorite (SH) in pool chlorine so if you are trying to achieve a 2% mix of SH you would use 1/5 pool chlorine and 4/5 water so for every 1 gallon of pool chlorine 4 gallons of water and you’ll get a 2% mix, say you wanted a 4% mix it would be 2 gallons of pool chlorine for every 3 gallons of water and so on so forth but u rly should never need more then a 6% mix and that’s rly only for asphalt roofs, if you get quote iq and go to the features sections they have a list of the recommended mixtures for each surface or material !

      Most often that’s how it’s done, but he could have his own trailer. There’s some jobs too big for a water tank.
