I was watching some of your videos and then I see this one with the LSU helmet and the hat. Bro where you located. I’m in Ponchatoula. Thinking about starting this business finally.
GEAUX TIGERS
My neighbour asked me to clean up his yard, added pressure washing and a bit of landscaping to it, charged him $1500 and it only took me (and for half the day, with my son) 9 hours. Gave my son $200 and I kept the $1300 for myself. Oh, and I borrowed a pressure washer from another neighbour and gave him a bottle of great Canadian whiskey! This is why I’m taking a leap of faith and getting into the biz.
Dude you’re awesome! Did you ever take the leap??
@@psylentsage - I did indeed! Started a small biz called Simply Done Cleaning & Property Maintenance Ltd. It's a slow start, but it will be a success!
@@BlanketBCSocietyany tips for a new guy like me, I’m talking to insurances right now getting quotes. Setting my trailer up soon
@@BlanketBCSocietyHey, any updates on how it’s going?
Just scheduled 965$ in jobs for this week today! Your videos have helped me a ton!
Hell yeah
Congrats!
Goals
Right on! I trying to get going too
How long you been going?
Sweet!
Did my first job yesterday. Basic wash on a Camper at $5 a foot. Made a quick $200.
Such a learning curve on pricing jobs. I try to stick around 100-150 a hr or 600 for the day. Would be nice to make 600 everyday but just not realistic early on at least for me. Will be finishing 3 jobs this week. 1850 washing pavers sanding and sealing then 600 clean then sand and lastly have a 12 ft exterior wall that’s 20 feet wide gonna paint that for 400 so 2850 this week!
That’s awesome man! Keep killing it
Justin went over pricing perfectly. that is exactly how I would describe how to come up with your prices to someone new.
Thank you Jus...You opened my eyes a lot with this video. Somtimes while I am doing the job I felt like am under-charging..However, this calculation would help me out a lot better moving forward!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! First big bid here tomorrow. Went straight to the million dollar homes. High lead flow but will see. 30$/hr is perfect but i know i need to raise it soon. Wish me luck LOL. Love your content love love
Thank you for sharing your information and experience. I have a carpentery and painting business. But this is still helping me greatly.
Thank you
Geaux Tigers!! Doing tons of research at the moment before I go buy a bunch of PW gear.. Thanks for what you & Aaron do, bud. Big thanks from Hahnville!
Love the info and videos man! Me and my bro are planning on starting up a business here soon. Your videos have been invaluable
hey how did the business go?? i am starting some jobs myself soon
I own my own business and love this channel. Sometimes I do by hour. Sometimes by square footage plus the chemical I use. Nice to see you helping others out. I’m in Alabama with my business. Great videos bud
I'm in Alabama as well. Are you still in business?
@@jeffroberts743 I am! But most of my business comes from airduct cleaning. And chimney sweeps
Great knowledge, I appreciate the information.. Starting my business!!!
Thanks man I am trying add pressure wash on my lawn care business
I am watching this before I go give a home estimate for my first customer, (hopefully). Dad is loaning me the pressure washer and it's his house along with my sister's and brothers house's.
So this is my chance to get started and I'm going to seize the moment!
Thank you very much!
Tell me how it went, I'd love to know, as I want to do the same very soon!
Wait. What? You’re giving an estimate to someone who is loaning you the pressure washer and is also your dad?
@Anna Graham Sounds like a good dad. What better way to learn than experience. Not only is he loaning the tools to do the job, but also giving the experience of bidding on the job.
Your videos are awesome man Thankyou!
Love the LSU helmet. Geaux Tigers. Looking to start this business in the Monroe/West Monroe, La area. Love your videos.
Have you done this for line striping? I'm starting my own business and i really need to figure that out
Thanks for the info. This really helped. I am wanting to start soon. I'm here in Florida, what would be a good starting out price? Charging by Sq ft or hourly?
love this info. I'm 15 and this is really helping me out.
Hey how is your business going I am thinking about starting and am your age and im curious about how well your doing
Looks like we're all about the same age. Honestly I'm just gonna save up money and buy a pressure washer if I actually go through with this plan.
I'm 9
Do you change your quotes based on the material you will be cleaning, for example concrete driveway different from roof. Thank you love your videos.
What surface cleaner do you recommend for a 3200psi Simpson honda pressure washer?
I’m about to start a pressure washing business.
Been learning alot from u bro
Just landed a $32,000 twice annual multi level car park job. Thanks heaps for your help over the past 6 months of my business
Love to hear it Daniel! Great work!
How would you advise pricing a business like a Starbucks? The building is shared by another business that hasn’t opened as yet but Starbucks has the drive thru
Thanks! Quick question, for Garbage enclosures in CA would you charge more?
Justin do you use a CRM and how do you use it?? Billing, Email follow up ,sales leads??
I'm just starting my business but I'm working my regular job while I'm building it so I can still have regular income so time is an issue for me right now so I want to get good at marketing because I know that's what will get me business
Just landed my first job! $650. Thanks for all the advice man!
Awesome work bro!
Keep killing it!
What did you charge
@@brandonspencer4778 They literally said $650 🤣🥸🤣
Was that charging by the square foot or the hour?
Dude this was really helpful to open my mind. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
when doing a roof wash and gutter clean, in what order are you washing?
Another great video sir!
Thanks Pinky!
Sheeeshh im barely starting, good tips .
Thank you for this, I understood about 60-70 percent of what you said so I have some homework to do.
The question I have is that if I am just starting off how can I get going? Just knocking on neighboring houses? Spring is right around the corner and I want to set myself up for the rest of the year from now so this seems like a great business to start.
That couldn’t hurt! Do everything you can. The obvious is get set up online. Then whatever networking you can do.
Blessings to everyone hustling for their living and luxury. God loves y’all, God Bless y’all!
If you can, or do you have a video where you can print out Isak equipment starting up to be good for business
Question: what would you use on travertine?
Great info thanks
So I’m in senior year in high school and want to work at pressure washing since my other job I wanted didn’t go as planned so now I am trying to find out what to do after I graduate. Do I just look up pressure washing businesses? And apply if I don’t want to do my own business just because it’s not my tea to run one
Not sure you’ll see this but could you maybe do a video for pressure washing but the paperwork side of it like contract layouts, invoices, how we are taxed etc.?
Contract: bit.ly/PWCONTRACT
Paperwork (invoicing, keeping up with customers): jobber.grsm.io/justinrogers8730
Taxes: keep 20- 30% set aside for taxes
What's the model and psi suggested machine to start with.
Can I use my truck mount for house pressure washing? It’s the Everest 870hp. I believe the psi is at 2500
Do you need a water tank? Or do you use the clients water ?
Why did you say the Home Advisor pricing method wouldn’t help if you were pricing a 2k sq ft home?
Can you or anyone else tell me the kind of power washer I would need to start doing drive ways paths etc and the chemicals I would need to start on roofs any help would be great please
great tips man
nice video with good information
How do you go about asking for the payment? Before? After? Cash? Credit? (For beginners).
What do you mean by conversation rate / covered high, covered low?
Hello everyone I’m in the process of creating my own self company and I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how to price fence?
Any suggestions helps,thank you very much.
Im still having trouble finding an answer,,,, so if im using a 5 gallon bucket, how muh SH and how muh water to fill the bucket? Like half gallon sh and the rest water or,,, i dont understand all the 3 percent out of the gun etc stuff yet so im just teying to figure out a good safe mix thats hot enouh to do a vinyl siding with algae and a driveway,, whats a standard mix people use,, every video has giys woh huge 100 gallon tanks and i cant understand the ratios,, im just gonna use a 5 gal bucket and i dint how much sh to get and how much to put in the mix or do i run straight sh if my washer has a built in injector? Thanks in advance!
What part of Louisiana are you from? I live in Kenner and I’m thinking of getting into pressure washing part time from the fd.
Great video... as well as your IG Page.
It's difficult for me because there's next to no one that does this service in my area. Definitely hard to price things with no base to go off of. I've heard people suggest anywhere from $300-$1100 and that's just examples of what people have paid over the past few months. Granted that's just off the few people who travel out here to do it
Thanks bro super dope guy.
I ordered the ball valve from the link in your description. Did you have to seal it yourself? It was leaking from both sides brand new out of the package
If it’s threaded you need thread tape
i want to start press washing inconjuction of working my lawn care biz. someone wants me to estimate a 5,000 sq st driveway. it is straight forward job. what should i quote........$300, $400, etc? based on this video even $500 seems low
What do you mean when you say "converting"?
#PRICING Thank you Justin man this is very helpful
great info
Very good speaking
hey anyone can answer are you usin your own water or customers water??
What chemicals do you use ?
100% Agree. Nice work!
I just started 3 weeks ago, and have done around 15 estimates and got 0 jobs. I’m doing .20 per sqft for houses and .15 per sqft for driveways. Everyone I have followed up with tells me the same thing “I can get so and so to do it for about 150 dollars”
I can’t land a single job here.
Got to keep grinding bro. What has worked for me is always show up professional with your professional rig. Do a walkthrough and explain the cleaning process. I also will throw in something free like cleaning the shed to make the customer to think they are getting a deal for example. So many ways takes some time then will take off. Good luck man! Always have a edge up from the competition.
Do it for 150 you must be making money from something else or your just being lazy.
dont be discouraged by not landing jobs the people who dont want to pay are not your customers .if you didnt close on 15 leads you might be out pricing yourself or may need to adjust your approach, when customer says they can get Joe Shmoe to come for x amount dollars cheaper then remind customer that you are a professional with commerical grade equipment and not a "handy man"with a pressure washer from walmart, and that you are licensed and insured for both your and there protection , your the quality guy not the cheap guy and never sale yourself short. you might try flat rating jobs until lyou get a better feel for pricing and quoting, charge a 350 min and build from there
That's disheartening
Also the time of which the free course I starting is when I start my regular gig, is it possible to get a recorded version of that class please?
I'm referring to the free pressure washing business class
Is bleach okay to use on all houses for power washing?
I need to know what bleach can be used on and what it cannot for power washing. What ratios/percentages do you guys use? Will it discolor any surfaces that aren’t white? Will it kill grass/vegetation? Can it be used on asphalt driveways?
did you ever find out ?
It can kill vegetation, should pre wet plants.
Do not use on hardie backer siding or bare wood.
It's also not normal "bleach", it's SH which is a much stronger bleach solution used to chlorinate pools, around 10% SH. It can burn your skin, proper ppe should be used.
@@rightocarry1 bleach can save plants from diseases
Should my drive way per square foot and siding square foot be the same?
Siding is typically more expenses than what concrete is
How do you quote whole houses? Roof and driveway you can do by sq ft but what about sides of the house? just quote by the hour?
Every house is different so it makes it more difficult just to give standard pricing. I like to charge by my time because I can take into considerations the specific house.
Do you use the costumers house water?
Do you approach businesses or do business approach you through ads?
great video
i am trying to have a pressure washing business going but i need 4years joirneyman experience in California which i dont have . Its so frustrating to have the money time and ready to work but the laws sometimes just seem to be there to keep the onse down just there . I hope i cn figure out a way around this problem.
@ Nesta Ismail, yeah California is something else, I’m in Southern California and I’m totally confused
@@jerryserna8997 i know man . if you ever hear something useful pls dont forget me ..i am baffled myself .
I’ve found myself quoting jobs too cheap. I learned when I washed a 2,300 square foot home for $350 and testing the waters I booked a 1,500 square foot home for the same price. I realized then I needed to be charging more for the bigger homes.
If they have a big home, they have big money
@@Boonsenberry haha
That sounds about right in my area. 2300 square ft single story should be 2 hours tops washing
have a bare minimum rate and build from there ,I charge A 350 MIN and that will cover a basic house wash for a single story 1200 sq ft average type home which should take about an hour or less
@@Boonsenberry Been in my Big house in South Florida for 22 years, not always true. I find anyone coming to do work on my home tend to try to rake me over the coals because of my house.
for a starter, how many jobs is considered good per week? i’ve been doing other contracting jobs but i don’t know the standards / etc for PW
2 jobs a week is good have your min price set at ($ per hour+ 30%) you can't go wrong.
$100/hour is industry standard but some locations are more or less.
@@terrealexander4442 only two jobs a week? I just stated and I do 2-4 a day.
"Good" is subjective
Do you have any per square metre rates?
Should you have a minimum amount per job even for small jobs like $150
Yes definitely
My first paid gig was $955!
What was the job?
Hey... how do you quote your jobs?
What is the best way to check out how much the competition in my area charges?
Call them and ask for a quote on your house and divide that by the SQ
Where are you located in Louisiana?
How are you charging customers when using their water? I’m still lost on the whole concept of that .
If I wanted to start up my own pressure washing business, do I need to get registered and get a EIN number?
Or could I start so small that I could wait until I get more customers?
Dylan
You need both of those things you need a LLC and a business license and business name. which isn’t expensive if you register it through your LLC 25 dollars I think.. And general liability insurance which is 500-1500 for my area yearly. I saw quotes for about 29 dollars a month not bad at all. (All of this is for my area prices may vary)
I'm not paying anything
U don't need a LLC if you're sole proprietor
For beginners once you figure out the hourly rate, for me it's $100 per hour. The job takes 2 hours. Take that $200 and divide by the sq foot your job wad and now you have a sq ft. Price for estimates
My plan is too buy a pressure washer similar too yours and pressure wash my driveway , sidewalk areas etc, in hope of my neighbors seeing me and asking If I'll do there own property. My lip side gig as I currently have a full time job with 2 kids and a wife too support. I'm 22 btw so any tips or ideas will help let me know what you think thanks.

Old school trades.... if you land 30% your price is right. That was generally the sweet spot. Because the business is local and probably not State/Country wide, Focus on "word of mouth" advertising (friendly and great service) and now internet based reviews. Your an outside business and the neighbors will see you working. (Damn, Franks house and driveway looks better than ours... I can't have that😠) Use some of those temp lawn signs while working.
I used those when I was saving stuck kittens in trees.
Starting a business with a good friend. I make 288 a day now. Give or take. What what be a good number to shoot for for both of us plus the business to make money?
1500 to 3500 a week for 2 people
Literally at a job now waiting for the soap to soak. I story, 2 bedroom home and I'm getting 50 bucks.😂
I live in Michigan any idea how much I should charge per square foot ?
On concrete between $.10 - $.25
On a house wash $.20 - $.40
See if the mayor of Detroit wants the city washed that place is nasty as Fuk
Can I get some help.. can you also call it power washing?
Yes, same thing
Not making enough pressure washing?
yeaaaa, I'm going to stick with trashcan cleaning until my $200 pressure washer from Lowes breaks or i can upgrade. Quite a jump for a 15 turning 16 year old.
Pricing
Need a example of the quote.
200 square feet driveway then multiply by .15 cents?
#pricing
The minimum wage in the US is atrocious if you were only making $500 every two weeks I was pulling almost ,$600 a week and a minimum wage job in Canada and the US dollar is worth 20 percent less that ours but more than a 100 percent increase in pay crazy

You didn't show how to use Google Earth to quote.
For Google Earth measuring: Just remember a Google Earth measurement of a roof doesn't take into consideration the pitch. Look into a roof pitch multiplier. If you take a 2000Sq ft roof by Google measurement and it has a 9:12 pitch, you should be multiplying by 1.25 to get a truer square footage. That would equal another 500 sq ft you're cleaning. If you charge .25/sq ft, that's another $125.00 you'd be missing out on. If you run into a really bad roof that takes a 2nd or 3rd coat in areas, that really adds up. The steeper the roof, the larger the multiplier.
Im charging .45 cents a sq ft
That’s awesome
