A friend and I are starting to get into the business of pressure washing and you literally hit every question I had and gave great descriptions of everything. I can’t like this video enough!! Thank you so much and god bless!!
Make Sure that if you buy an XJET that it is compatible with your power washer's gallons per minute so if your pressure washer has 2.5 gallons per min then get an x jet that's labeled for2.5 gallons per minute washers, which can be also shown as 2.5 - 3 GPM
I don't know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
I am finally going to start building my pressure washing business specifically for Trash Bins and I learned so much from this presentation. I hope it goes well since there is no other competitor in my area doing what I am wanting to start
I'm steps closer to starting my own business. You're video was very informative for a beginner like me. I took tons of notes on my phone. Thanks for all the free game and knowledge brother! 🏆💯
I currently own and operate my own Lawn Maintenance buisness My girl talked me into starting up a pressure washing buisness. This video has answered all my questions. Thank you! Also nice Hodgetwins hat 👍
Happy i found you, i was just looking to start a pressure washing business up on the side of my main job and then slowly build it up and maybe have that replace my main job
If I used say... 2 100ft garden hoses connected together to my pressure washer affect the psi or flow rate or anything? I use just 1 100ft garden hose. And I use 2 35ft high-pressure hoses connected together to my wand and if I used 3 (105ft) or just one longer hose would that greatly affect my psi of flow rate? Love your channel btw. Its very helpful.
Is a 2900 psi, 2.5 GPM cold water gas pressure washer with 212 cc engine, a 3300 psi 15 inch surface cleaner, and a 36 inch wand with a 1/4 inch QC coupler a good pairing
Yes thank you. Finally a video that covers the many of the fundamentals beyond equipment including those on business management. Anxiety due to uncertainty and doubt diminished.👍
Leaving this comment here for those of you in California, I hope this will help you all out and encourage you to start your business: Someone mentioned that in cali a contractors license is needed to power wash- but this is not entirely true, that license covers what is mainly known to be sand blasting, power washing falls under this category only if the machine that is used has a secondary external supply of water attached and has a very high flow rate/powerful pump. Of course there is still red tape- but still, do not be discouraged from starting in cali because its still very possible. So long as jobs remain under $500 you can freely power wash homes, businesses, etc. The reason for the $500 dollar price cap is due to the fact that higher-paying power washing gigs usually accompany a much larger liability- this is due to the fact that these jobs often times require the use of much more powerful equipment which can cause damages to property or physical damages to the operator if under the use by someone that is unskilled. Hence why a contractors license is needed in these situations, but if you keep your jobs under that price you will be fine. Always give invoices, and always keep your records properly stored in case someone decides reporting you like an angry contractor or a city inspector. Furthermore, if you wanna power wash homes in cali you must build or purchase a water reclamation system so that no chemical-contaminated water enters the public drainage systems. In cali, this one is quite a hassle because even non chemical-contaminated water can still be considered as a violation. If this water happens to fall into a public drainage, this will not fall under the liability of the person doing the power washing but rather the home owner- these fines can be upwards to 15k, you do not want to screw over your customers like that, and if they get these fines they will almost certainly pursue civil legal action towards you. But still, don’t be discouraged by this- it can be very simple to overcome this obstacle with less than $300, all you need is a submersible pump which you can purchase from harbor freight, home depot, or even amazon (A good option is an automatic one with a sensor so its not constantly running), then some sandbags or gel bags that are used for flooding which can be found at home depot- these you will use to put on each side of the sidewalks drainage so that no water flows in. Then simply attach a water hose to your pump and direct it either into an empty 55gallon+ tank or even on the property itself in a location where plants dont grow, like an empty plot of dirt- all that matters is- the water , contaminated or not, cannot leave the property , it must be dumped back onto the property in an area without plants or grass etc. Furthermore, if you’re in cali, always carry around a notebook with the date and whatnot with lists of each chemical used and the amount used per pump or sprayer etc, simply write down the %’s and amounts used , this is an extra safety measure in case some d**k head inspector driving around approached you and asks for you to provide a chemical sheet of what you are using. The most simple way to do it if you are just starting out is by getting yourself a backpack sprayer and labeling each one, then on your notebook write down the label and your mixtures/%’s for that sprayer. Just another good proactive safety measure. Always remember to do things the right way, it may be a hassle but its well worth it in the long run, and overall, as i’ve said- don’t be discourage about power washing in cali, its very possible and can very much be a lucrative career choice. Also, one more tip for you guys- don’t ever include “Power washing” in your business cards or promotions if you are in cali unless you do have a contractors license since these mf’s will fine you like 1,000$. As I previously said- its still very legal to do power washing so long as jobs dont exceed $500, but the label “Power washing” usually applies to higher grade machines which entails more liability hence why its prohibited. A good work around this is to just label your business promos, business cards, and vans/trucks with “Home Wash” or “Home Washing”, simply avoid including “Power” attached to “Wash/Washing”. While i’m on the subject of legality, purchasing a business insurance is also always a good option to have, the best way to do it here is by establishing an LLC if you have the $800 and then getting a servicing license for it which’ll run you like $100-$200. I’m sure most of you wont have the extra 1k to do this if you’re starting out but it’s a good goal to have in your sights once you start accumulating more cash flow and are wanting to go more professional. Benefits of having an insured LLC is that you’ll be able to establish a business name, have checks written out to the name of the business directly, and also have that extra protection of limited liability. Collect those cash only jobs first with the basic safety measures I listed above to protect yourself and your customer, but once you build up your cash definitely establish yourself more professionally with insurance etc., it’ll take stress off your shoulders and you’ll feel better about your business overall. Reason I know all of this is because i’m in the most restricted liberal epa-enforced city in California and was able to excel in this business after calling into the EPA office and calling into each ordinance office necessary to obtain all of this information. Good luck guys
This is awsome man. I just got a 13hp honda xr 3600 commercial grade from my uncle, barely used for $150(family discount lol) I am excited to get the ball rolling but was wondering where to start. you really have answered done such a great job with your content, covering business start up, pricing and everything else. thanks for sharing all of your experience and insight man, this is gold!
Wow just came across you video had a little money saved up, since my mom passed I had to throw all my money into her care but no regrets just need to get back on my feet this might be a good way to invest the little money I have saved up... thanks for all your tips ill keep watching ,, God Bless
this truly has me fully in motion to become self employed goin to my court hall monday right after work to get what i need and gathering all my materials and knowledge all winter ready to go out spring
Wow! Thank you so much for this information! My fiance and I have recently decided to start a pressure washing business and you've just provided us information I can't even put a price on. I can't thank you enough! I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to watching all your videos. God bless you!
That's amazing good luck ! What a cool endeavor to be working with your hubby .. that's love. Don't forget that's why you started it.. don't let nonsense get in the way.. ♥️
My man, the only RUclips video that’s straight to the point and not beating a dead horse. I appreciate you. Also probably the only RUclips video without a dislike so own that!
This vid made me confident enough to go out and buy the pressure washer I have been wanting , ready to start this journey in my area, It also fits in my car so no truck needed ! I got a simpson 3400 PSI 2.4 GPM ! Thank you for including your setup.
@@samuelalvarez6051 It's going good, I am 2 months in , made my investment back in the first month of around 2800 dollars. I have learned alot about marketing , ads ETC. it has slowed down a bit second month but it is super hot here in tx so I am not to upset about it. do all the research you can
I have a 13hp vertical shaft motor and I can't find a 4000 psi vertical pump could I use a horizontal pump? or would it hurt the pump being upside down?
This video was incredibly useful I do still have a few questions though as I am looking to getting into the business but dont quite know where to start
You're videos have gotten really great. This information is invaluable and all in one place. Short, sweet, and to the point! So happy for you, and thankful for your knowledge.
Man I’m 16 trying to start up this business and I’m so glad I found your page! Took as many notes as I could from this and I appreciate the free knowledge your giving 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I’m only 14, so uh, maybe I’m not as picky. But this is exactly the type of business guide I’m after. This one and the vending machine one you made. I don’t understand how, but you always show me exactly what I want to know and learn about. Keep up the awesome work!
That's amazing! 14! What a great start to an amazing life you're gonna have with a work ethic like that ! Good luck to you and kick some serious behind out there ! Only rule.. never give up! Every failure is a lesson. Read or listen to motivational books (I can recommend if needed) it's all about failing forward !
Most of young people all they want to do is play video games all day but that's great to see a young person like yourself have alot of motivation and ambition. With a great attitude and determination you will be your own boss. Remember to always surround yourself with like minded people like yourself with that same motivational drive and read alot of motivational books and business books. It sounds like your on the right path.
You sound quite intelligent for a 14 yr old. The fact that you are exploring the idea of maintaining a business at this age is very good. Continue learning about this type of stuff. Do anything you can to start making income on the side without actively working, like the vending machines. Good luck.
@@oluogunfunwa8909 Very interested in starting a pressure washing business myself. Are things still going good for you? Also, are you doing this all on your own?
Thinking of starting a pressure washing business! Think I can DEFINITELY do some work around my area, considering, I don’t think much people pressure wash in my city. This channel definitely inspired me. Thanks !!
same here man, my parents have lived here for over 45+ years and NEVER had anyone try to provide such services in the area before. so im very confident if i go around my community and let them know door to door that im from the community and starting my own business to help my family get by, im confident and hopeful with the quipment and time i can become very successful. good luck!! get that money brother!!! i refuse to be an employee for the rest of my life, thats no way to live... not for me atleast, and not for you either i see 🤝🏼
@@giooolguin2496 Yes there is money here. I've done my regular landscape customers places and have gotten other business from doing them at full price.
You mentioned those neighborhoods you advertised in. Generally, how many houses were in those neighborhoods? You said as an example maybe u would get 1 out of every 10 in that neighborhood. Was there 20 houses in the neighborhood or were the 200? More? Awesome video, Thank you!
Bought my pressure washer. The round surface cleaner. Just waiting on my business cards. I honestly didn't know it would be illegal to start the business without licensing. Hope this video helps
How'd it go mate? Check if you definitely need licensing or not but definitely get your insurance in place. Hopefully starting later this year, based in the UK.
I believe the Best way to start is to line up several jobs a couple weeks out and rent all your equipment at first. This allows you to spend the bulk of your funds advertising. And if you don’t like the business, your out easy
I’ve seen a lot of other pressure washing videos on RUclips exclaiming not to use dawn dish soap. Wondering what your take on this is. Love your videos man! Thanks for the free info
I've been pressure washing commercially for about 6 years now, we do mainly apartment complexes and HOAs. I use about 5 gallons of Dawn dish soap a week. And I've revisited the same properties a few times a year over the last 6 years and there is no damage to the vinyl siding, brick, Hardie board, or landscaping or grass. I definitely recommend always using dawn soap to improve your washes. It helps dirt and debris like spider eggs fall off easier.
Hi, I’m also thinking still about open a pressure wash system aside my main job as facilities management. Worried about a couple stuff not sure you have the answers. 1) I was told that pressure washing with cold water is not efficient and it needs hot water but I see good results in your video and I assume you use cold water. 2) If the plan is to have it as a second job, I will be making one or 2 jobs a day. Will it be feasible? 3) I live in Canada where there is snow for maybe 3 or 4 months and no one will be cleaning their driveways. So I will be working 8 months a year. Is there a special process to follow to clean concrete and roofs after a very cold season and also using salt and other products for ice? 4) You always use customers water right? Do you know how many L/sqft do you need? Tap pressure in here is around 70psi from city. Thanks, Jad
Subscribed, great info, I began to get into lawn care years ago until my trailer was stolen which was a financially crippling blow and have been determined still to build a small business and be fully self-employed, thank you for putting this video together.
Question: If I have a pressure washer that pushes out 2800 PSI, can I use the "Be 85.403.007 Xstream Power Equipment 4000 Psi 20" Whirl-A-Way Surface Cleaner"???? Or does that mean that the Xstream can handle 4000PSI???
man this is a very helpfun video never seen such a good explanation to start a small business like this one before thank you for all the good detail you shared it was great. got plenty of information. and now I'm much closer to start my own business!!
Starting my business this week, been watching your videos for months trying to figure out how I can get this side hustle going. This helped me a lot^^ gave me a lot of ideas. God Bless man.
"cause I had to learn from someone being mean to me in the youtube comments" hahahaha! I bought the course, its worth it as a brand-new guy, who has never held a lance to a intermediate skilled person who has never done a facebook ad or what SH % is needed for certain surfaces. I bought it. Have made 5k in 3 months, started with 4pgm IN my Mazda 6. Its worth every penny I bought Aarons. Thanks Justin!!
Aye Justin I’m a big fan of the channel and the work you do, great hustle and drive ! I’m currently starting and pressure cleaning business and solar panel cleaning and I probably wouldn’t have made the move from the company I work for ,into doing it on my own without watching your videos and gaining the knowledge that you share. I landed a huge opportunity with an apartment complex in the city I live in and possible 4 others and they want all the solar panels ,gutters, and bird deterrent. So thanks for the inspiration to make the jump. Idk if you read and respond to comments but I’d really appreciate if you could maybe give me a little advice on how to accurately bid this size of job , if so that would be very helpful. Again thanks for all the great content keep it up
This is great advice! Well done. And yeah I do think it’s funny when people think we bring water to the job hahaha the only thing I will say is to stick with downstreaming. It is the most effective and easiest was to clean. I would get a quick connect DS so you can replace it easier cause the bleach will destroy it over time. X-jetting with a bucket is a disastrous idea I don’t care how careful you are you will inevitably pull on your hose against the bucket and dump a ton of chemicals in your customers yard. Not to mention carrying a bucket around is a pain in the ass and just doesn’t look good. And the X jet is expensive. Save the money and invest in other equipment
thank you for the video! i wish you can see this comment, my concern as of now is what to do with the water after pressure washing, as far as I know you're supposed to collect the water and not let it go to storm drains, how do you do that?
Just a heads up, it is technically federally illegal to put anything other than US postage mail in or on the mail box. Take that as you may and good luck to all!
I have a customer complaining about plant damage 2 weeks later I was just using my down streamer..I have to go and take a look later today at the plants..If the damage was caused by me can you tell me what I should expect to see?
Hey so I currently have a Ryobi 3300 PSI 2.5 GPM Cold Water Gas Pressure Washer with Honda GCV200 Engine. I’m curious as to where you pour the chemicals (bleach/soap etc) to use to spray. I don’t want to mess up and do the wrong thing and accidentally break my pressure washer. Any info would be great, thanks.
Justin, it’s Mike. What up brother. I’ve got my 2nd job. It’s $1,200. Thanks for helping me on Facebook. It’s gonna be next weekend after the freeze. It’s a roof, gazibo, and driveway. What sucks is that I have to deploy overseas during the Spring. Oh well. Next season.
I live in a climate with little to no moisture. So most dirty driveways are oil stained, etc. Would you recommend a hot washer over a standard one? I’m super excited to start this!
Hey Justin, do you think a Stihl RB400 is a good pressure washer to start out with? There is a dealership 2 miles from my home and I know I can always have them do service and repair work if needed. Thanks!
Very informative! Great explanation across the board. Proof it's always best to get any information needed for the trade from a Hands on experienced in the field laborer/ operator/ owner. The best education you don't have to buy or get from somebody that is educated tho never done the job
Thank u for this video!! Hoping to start this full time soon. Glad I watched this video because I always wondered why people have water tanks. And I was gonna start off with a 4gpm!! Would a 3gpm need a water tank too or would it be fine with the house faucet?
From my understanding, buffer tanks aren't necessary until you're pumping 4 GPM. Anything less and the client's spout should be able to keep up with your pressure washer. Couldn't hurt to have one just in case your client's water pressure is weak.
That was the best video on RUclips you get straight to the point and move fast. You covered everything. I'm a first timer starting out and this helped me out very much.
I have a question about the different colored tips. What does the colors mean and what is the proper way to use them? I'm looking to start a basic pressure washing business and work my way up to bigger things.

Leaving this comment here for those of you in California, I hope this will help you all out and encourage you to start your business:

I have a 13hp vertical shaft motor and I can't find a 4000 psi vertical pump could I use a horizontal pump? or would it hurt the pump being upside down?
Greetings from the French Riviera. Thank you so much mate, that is a very valuable clip !
Thank you for being very informative.
There are a bunch of people out there, only a few have explained it so good! Basics for a newbie!! I was confused, but now have a direction thankyou
This video was incredibly useful I do still have a few questions though as I am looking to getting into the business but dont quite know where to start
You're videos have gotten really great. This information is invaluable and all in one place. Short, sweet, and to the point! So happy for you, and thankful for your knowledge.
Thanks Mark
Best of luck bro!
Thanks for the information brother!
Man I’m 16 trying to start up this business and I’m so glad I found your page! Took as many notes as I could from this and I appreciate the free knowledge your giving 🙌🏾🙌🏾
i am 15 and i see a problem in the fact that in my country you cant steer a pressure washer before you are over 18 witch is very annoying
@@jensejnar2502 get a portable one that only has the gun part
Seriously the best step by step video I have come across. I'm from the UK and this has helped immensely. Thank you 😊
Glad to hear it Dan! Best of luck to you
Very informative thank you for sharing
Thanks Justin for sharing your knowledge. 🤙🏽
This video was great, just one question, what do you do when it's too cold outside to pressure wash?
I’m only 14, so uh, maybe I’m not as picky.
But this is exactly the type of business guide I’m after. This one and the vending machine one you made. I don’t understand how, but you always show me exactly what I want to know and learn about. Keep up the awesome work!
That's amazing! 14! What a great start to an amazing life you're gonna have with a work ethic like that ! Good luck to you and kick some serious behind out there ! Only rule.. never give up! Every failure is a lesson. Read or listen to motivational books (I can recommend if needed) it's all about failing forward !
Most of young people all they want to do is play video games all day but that's great to see a young person like yourself have alot of motivation and ambition. With a great attitude and determination you will be your own boss. Remember to always surround yourself with like minded people like yourself with that same motivational drive and read alot of motivational books and business books. It sounds like your on the right path.
14?! I am twice your age and just getting in on this. Stay away from fast cars and the fast women and you will be going far dude!
You sound quite intelligent for a 14 yr old. The fact that you are exploring the idea of maintaining a business at this age is very good. Continue learning about this type of stuff. Do anything you can to start making income on the side without actively working, like the vending machines. Good luck.
How is it going? I’m also 14 and started my business 2 weeks ago and the hardest part is to get customers.
Just got my pressure washer! I’m very excited to get started! Will continue watching your videos to learn as I go.
Let me know how it goes ive been talking about starting one this past year
@olu What model pressure washer did you get? What surfaces are you cleaning with it?
@@cesargarcia9780 hey! I’m cleaning driveways & trash bins. I got the one he recommended starting with. It’s in one of his videos. So far, so good!
@@frederickburgos9411 it’s going great so far! learning after each clean!
@@oluogunfunwa8909 Very interested in starting a pressure washing business myself. Are things still going good for you? Also, are you doing this all on your own?
Thinking of starting a pressure washing business! Think I can DEFINITELY do some work around my area, considering, I don’t think much people pressure wash in my city. This channel definitely inspired me. Thanks !!
same here man, my parents have lived here for over 45+ years and NEVER had anyone try to provide such services in the area before. so im very confident if i go around my community and let them know door to door that im from the community and starting my own business to help my family get by, im confident and hopeful with the quipment and time i can become very successful.
good luck!! get that money brother!!! i refuse to be an employee for the rest of my life, thats no way to live... not for me atleast, and not for you either i see 🤝🏼
Thank you for a great video. Greatly appreciated. God bless you snd your business
Step 1: get out of California
Step 2: buy his course
Step 3: start working
Now that’s a plan!
So I don't need a license in NY? I'm a minor and have 3k saved. I wanna make sure I'll be ok before buying a water preassure.
why do you say "get out of California"? is their no money for this business here?
@@giooolguin2496 Yes there is money here. I've done my regular landscape customers places and have gotten other business from doing them at full price.
@@giooolguin2496 Taxes in California are outrageous
How do you know how much much and how much water for the surfaces
Great video covers a lot.
This is gold I appreciate it so much. I'm trying to get enough for the course soon.
You mentioned those neighborhoods you advertised in. Generally, how many houses were in those neighborhoods? You said as an example maybe u would get 1 out of every 10 in that neighborhood. Was there 20 houses in the neighborhood or were the 200? More? Awesome video, Thank you!
Very helpful information. Keep it up.
wow nice work man.
Are KArcher Surface cleaners compatible with electric Pressure washers???
Bought my pressure washer. The round surface cleaner. Just waiting on my business cards. I honestly didn't know it would be illegal to start the business without licensing. Hope this video helps
How'd it go mate? Check if you definitely need licensing or not but definitely get your insurance in place.
Hopefully starting later this year, based in the UK.
Man u killed this tutorial! Nice work, thank you for the advice and information!
I was on your channel yesterday looking through for info on how to start and TODAY, you release this 😂😂😂. Appreciate it bro!
The universe does crazy things man
You got it Various.
I believe the Best way to start is to line up several jobs a couple weeks out and rent all your equipment at first. This allows you to spend the bulk of your funds advertising. And if you don’t like the business, your out easy
I’ve seen a lot of other pressure washing videos on RUclips exclaiming not to use dawn dish soap. Wondering what your take on this is. Love your videos man! Thanks for the free info
I've been pressure washing commercially for about 6 years now, we do mainly apartment complexes and HOAs. I use about 5 gallons of Dawn dish soap a week. And I've revisited the same properties a few times a year over the last 6 years and there is no damage to the vinyl siding, brick, Hardie board, or landscaping or grass. I definitely recommend always using dawn soap to improve your washes. It helps dirt and debris like spider eggs fall off easier.
@@Jakezoola thanks very much this helped a lot!
Hi, I’m also thinking still about open a pressure wash system aside my main job as facilities management. Worried about a couple stuff not sure you have the answers. 1) I was told that pressure washing with cold water is not efficient and it needs hot water but I see good results in your video and I assume you use cold water. 2) If the plan is to have it as a second job, I will be making one or 2 jobs a day. Will it be feasible? 3) I live in Canada where there is snow for maybe 3 or 4 months and no one will be cleaning their driveways. So I will be working 8 months a year. Is there a special process to follow to clean concrete and roofs after a very cold season and also using salt and other products for ice? 4) You always use customers water right? Do you know how many L/sqft do you need? Tap pressure in here is around 70psi from city.
Thanks,
Jad
Thanks a lot, me as a women I’m afraid to star this company by myself but now I feel confortable. ❤️
How'd it go? Did you manage to get up and running yet? I hope to later this year!
Subscribed, great info, I began to get into lawn care years ago until my trailer was stolen which was a financially crippling blow and have been determined still to build a small business and be fully self-employed, thank you for putting this video together.
Thank you for this! I just found this video because I’m 19 and interested in opening up a pressure washing business. Thanks!
Great video...very helpful....GET THAT MONEY
Question: If I have a pressure washer that pushes out 2800 PSI, can I use the "Be 85.403.007 Xstream Power Equipment 4000 Psi 20" Whirl-A-Way Surface Cleaner"???? Or does that mean that the Xstream can handle 4000PSI???
man this is a very helpfun video never seen such a good explanation to start a small business like this one before thank you for all the good detail you shared it was great. got plenty of information. and now I'm much closer to start my own business!!
Starting my business this week, been watching your videos for months trying to figure out how I can get this side hustle going. This helped me a lot^^ gave me a lot of ideas. God Bless man.
How did your first month go?
Update brother?!?
"cause I had to learn from someone being mean to me in the youtube comments" hahahaha! I bought the course, its worth it as a brand-new guy, who has never held a lance to a intermediate skilled person who has never done a facebook ad or what SH % is needed for certain surfaces. I bought it. Have made 5k in 3 months, started with 4pgm IN my Mazda 6. Its worth every penny I bought Aarons. Thanks Justin!!
What's the best company to purchase pressure washer from
Aye Justin I’m a big fan of the channel and the work you do, great hustle and drive ! I’m currently starting and pressure cleaning business and solar panel cleaning and I probably wouldn’t have made the move from the company I work for ,into doing it on my own without watching your videos and gaining the knowledge that you share. I landed a huge opportunity with an apartment complex in the city I live in and possible 4 others and they want all the solar panels ,gutters, and bird deterrent. So thanks for the inspiration to make the jump. Idk if you read and respond to comments but I’d really appreciate if you could maybe give me a little advice on how to accurately bid this size of job , if so that would be very helpful. Again thanks for all the great content keep it up
This is great advice! Well done. And yeah I do think it’s funny when people think we bring water to the job hahaha the only thing I will say is to stick with downstreaming. It is the most effective and easiest was to clean. I would get a quick connect DS so you can replace it easier cause the bleach will destroy it over time. X-jetting with a bucket is a disastrous idea I don’t care how careful you are you will inevitably pull on your hose against the bucket and dump a ton of chemicals in your customers yard. Not to mention carrying a bucket around is a pain in the ass and just doesn’t look good. And the X jet is expensive. Save the money and invest in other equipment
thank you for the video! i wish you can see this comment, my concern as of now is what to do with the water after pressure washing, as far as I know you're supposed to collect the water and not let it go to storm drains, how do you do that?
Had a lot of questions before this video and you answered some I didn’t know I had! Definitely coming back for more keep it up !
Bro you're giving me the push to get to it thanks
Thanks for the info..I thought dawn and bleach combined was toxic/dangerous
Can you make a video on how you have your set up and how you start a pressure washing job?
Good video man! Im looking to start a business and this helped alot! I love the time lapse, so cool to see the transition. Keep up the grind man.
Just a heads up, it is technically federally illegal to put anything other than US postage mail in or on the mail box. Take that as you may and good luck to all!
I have a customer complaining about plant damage 2 weeks later I was just using my down streamer..I have to go and take a look later today at the plants..If the damage was caused by me can you tell me what I should expect to see?
just found your video man! and love that hodgetwin hat!!! YEAAAHHHH!!
Awesome video, thanks for the great info!
Helped me to understand it better thank you
Hey so I currently have a Ryobi 3300 PSI 2.5 GPM Cold Water Gas Pressure Washer with Honda GCV200 Engine. I’m curious as to where you pour the chemicals (bleach/soap etc) to use to spray. I don’t want to mess up and do the wrong thing and accidentally break my pressure washer. Any info would be great, thanks.
This is great thank you!
Justin, it’s Mike. What up brother. I’ve got my 2nd job. It’s $1,200. Thanks for helping me on Facebook. It’s gonna be next weekend after the freeze. It’s a roof, gazibo, and driveway. What sucks is that I have to deploy overseas during the Spring. Oh well. Next season.
Help me get started!
I live in a climate with little to no moisture. So most dirty driveways are oil stained, etc. Would you recommend a hot washer over a standard one? I’m super excited to start this!
I’m using 10% sh what ounce of dawn dish soap to gallon of sh would u recommend
Do you have any videos on cleaning techniques. I appreciate your channel and videos.
Is the surface cleaner compatible with the 3200 psi pressure washer listed?
Hey Justin, do you think a Stihl RB400 is a good pressure washer to start out with? There is a dealership 2 miles from my home and I know I can always have them do service and repair work if needed. Thanks!
What’s the difference between sodium hypochlorite and pool shock? Is it the same thing?
Same thing
Very informative! Great explanation across the board. Proof it's always best to get any information needed for the trade from a Hands on experienced in the field laborer/ operator/ owner. The best education you don't have to buy or get from somebody that is educated tho never done the job
I never seen a RUclips video before where the video and ad is from the same person.
Congratulations on the hussle
Thank u for this video!! Hoping to start this full time soon. Glad I watched this video because I always wondered why people have water tanks. And I was gonna start off with a 4gpm!! Would a 3gpm need a water tank too or would it be fine with the house faucet?
From my understanding, buffer tanks aren't necessary until you're pumping 4 GPM. Anything less and the client's spout should be able to keep up with your pressure washer. Couldn't hurt to have one just in case your client's water pressure is weak.
Injured carpenter can't continue my trade, no local competition 🤷 my new venture
This is SUPER informative! Thanks so much for putting this out in a simple way to understand. SUBSCRIBED and all notifications on!
That was the best video on RUclips you get straight to the point and move fast. You covered everything. I'm a first timer starting out and this helped me out very much.
Awesome explanation man ! Looking forward to start a new journey with pressure washing😁
How’s it going?
@@keepitjedi3770 I’ve got 3 jobs so far not so well but I’m sorta lacking with advertising :( I gotta make it top priority !
@@alanruiz4560 update?
Everything was great and extremely helpful only info I’m having a Hard time finding to start is the chemical ratio for different jobs
I have a question about the different colored tips. What does the colors mean and what is the proper way to use them? I'm looking to start a basic pressure washing business and work my way up to bigger things.
I'm trying to find out how long the course is? How many hrs is the content?
Pics would’ve been awesome on this PowerPoint!
