Dude. Your content is so insightful. Every time I have a challenging or overbearing day, your videos keep me motivated to just keep grinding

Man, this guy just gets it. I’ve been binging a ton of these videos and this guy is just to the point, effective and relatable. Hands down this channel has been (for me) the best tool I’ve come across.

Ray, here's an advertising idea for you and everyone else starting off: before getting flyers made, volunteer! Find the "busiest" intersection downtown; get a permit and set up. The thousands of motorists waiting for their light to roll over will be watching you work as you clean the medians, signs and sidewalks. Most importantly, you can park your vehicle anywhere around that intersection and the police can't interfere unless you're blocking traffic. They'll all believe you landed a giant contract with the city, right? I'd get someone to answer the calls for you that day, just incase. I can't think of a better way to advertise. That has to be a thousand people every hour who have their phone with them for a snapshot of your advertising information. I think I'm right.

Thank you for sharing your experience and best advice. Enjoy your success!

Ray your channel helps so much. I learn something new almost daily. Great tips and advice. I learned of you through forever self employed.

Ray you need to figure in a 60 or 85 foot lift. Anything taking over a week rent for a month and move to another job for moving fee. You can get it clean and mudd daubers take seconds. Time is money. Lifts save time. Way less chemicals too. You need to consider landscaping. Bleach and soap up and rinse down. Clean it at night! It's empty and you avoid alkaline shock on walls and widows. If daytime you need to cool down walls and windows with water before applying chemicals. Do nights and weekends. Tip on mudd daubers. Wet them first knock them off with pressure then shoot straight beach on stain and scrub with medium brush. Rinse. Stain will go away completely.

I’m currently going through the worst time of my life. And I’m planning to start my PW company very soon. I’ve spend 12 years in the fine dining restaurant industry as a server And it’s time for a change. I appreciate you sir. I’ll forever be thankful for all the knowledge you share. Thank you.

Great vid! Great advice and info. Getting started myself and this helped. Thank you.

Great video! That’s a biggen’ right there. Good luck

My goodness, Man, that is so similar to what happened with us! End of last year, we submitted a bid for a whole hospital and didn't hear anything back at all. Well, low and behold, it got approved and we're meeting on Tuesday to confirm the time line!! So, here we go, our single largest job to date! Super excited for you, Man! You should offer to seal the flat work afterward! It's a great add on! I'd love to connect with you and talk further! Let me know! 👍 Major congrats!

Great stuff. Thanks

We are a landscaping co. thats adding pressure washing next year and these videos are awesome. Thanks

Good stuff Ray!

Good advice BRO , thanks

“Trying not to show the name, cuz I know a couple of people that are sneaky” 🤣

Great video brother!! 🤙🤙

Great video Ray rock on

I work for the county road dept, if you are using signs to advertise you need to check with your municipality. In the county that I work, it is illegal to place signs in the right of way (good rule of thumb is the area between the road and the utility poles). It's also illegal to place signs on utility poles. I yank signs everyday and we don't return them. They go straight to the dump. As you mentioned, signs can get expensive. Not only is it a waste of money, but probably looks pretty bad when people see the county out removing your signs. We issue fines to real bad offenders and the fines can be up to $10,000 or a year in jail. A simple phone call can save you a bunch of time and money. Make sure you know where the rules in your area.

Keep up the hustle

HEY IM JUST STARTING A PRESSURE WASHING BUSINESS (ROCKINGHAM,NC) LISTEN THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO YOU SHARE, VERY GOOD MOTIVATION #GOULDSPRESSUREWASH

Best content out there for pressure cleaning homes. What CRM do you suggest?

That looked like 5 story's id get the perimiter sq ft and I do it like this .28 cents a sq ft that's the first 2 story's then an additional .28 cents per extra story..plus $500 dollars rental equipment... Lets say its 10,000 sq ft @ 5 stories Id go 10,000 × .28 cents. = 2 stories Plus 10,000 × .28 cents = 3rd story Plus 10,000 × .28 cents = 4th story Plus 10,000 × .28 cents = 5th story Then add the cost to do the windows Add the cost to do the side walks And cost to rent the cherry picker/ bucket truck...that should give you a good price to charge Rule of thumb if we were charging commercial services the price per sq ft would decrease. Two storys .28 cents One story. .18 cents Commerical. ..08. Cents I call it the tripple 8 bidding strategy works every Time

hi from sydney australia , great vids man . we get on average , 10 or 12 calls per 1000 flyers , out of that we convert 3 jobs . it costs me $100 to get 1000 flyers delivered .

Thank's thank's thank's 🙌🙏🤝👍

"Givers gain"!!! 100%!

Thank you Raymond! I am learning a lot from your videos! One question .. Do you have a webpage where I can get yard signs? TIA!

Don't know if this would apply to your business, but there's a free crm called Yardbooks. It's focused on lawn maintenance. But i think it'd be a good free program for people to start with.

fire🔥🔥

Good information. Can you make a video on CRM?

How would u tackle those windows? With a lift?? Do u wash them with p. Washer or traditional window cleaner and a sqeegy

Did you hear back from the PM? Also, you stated you didn't like doing windows. Are you going to use a water-fed pole for all the windows and squeegees / ladders for the lowers? (I personally hate window cleaning and was wondering would outsourcing the windows be acceptable in a job like this or maybe lose you the contract? Are you thinking of using / renting a boom lift to speed up the higher portions? Loving the vids btw! Subbed and liked!

Damn your right in my area man. Sweet. I dabble with soft washing on the side of my lawn business. I am always at homes mowing all 4 sides so I can offer quick one side cleanings when i am there to mow as well. You have instagram or meet people in area?

Man, awsome tips & great video, but, were you just sharing some knowledge while driving with your hands off the steering wheel😂? I find your content & journey motivating, Thanks.

Would you use a 12v SH 12.5 for this job and if so, what would be your ratio?

Hi Ray I’m going to start pressure washing business in South Carolina I’ve been watching your room video and you get an estimate to big to building with the blue window I think the gray building my concern is how are you going to claim to clean in the window on the wall are you going to use the skyjack or how would you answer move this I’m very curious

What's up Ray, just curious what some of your other goals were when starting out? Trying to get up on your level bro.

Hey man I am just getting started in the 704 area. What CRM do you recommend?

Thanks , great vídeos ☝️

Great content. Do these strategies work in Southern California?

Great videos and explanation as your roll through your day/jobs. You mentioned insurance towards the end of this video. Obviously we all know that we need insurance for our businesses but in your experience what business insurance coverage would you recommend having as a minimum for a pressure washing business that handles residential as well as commercial properties. Also for bidding purposes, do you have a program that you run independent of your CRM that auto generates pricing based on predetermined price points( that you have established) for square footage/linear footage etc? If so, what is it. If not, do you just compute raw bids each quote?

Wow, that job would keep you busy for how long? Did you get it? I've subscribed.

What kind of tablet do you have? Is it linked to your home PC and cell phone?

What apps on your tablet do you suggest for bids

Hey what customer relation management system do you use

GOLD RAY

Did you price the dumpster pad? upsale

Man im not trying to bother you but i keep coming up with questions hah...@16:48 you talk about numbers and the "model" you are running. Can you elaborate on that. Are you talking about company profits? How do you pay yourself? I saw something about the profit 1st strategy, I like that a lot but not sure what % to go to company profits.

How do you manage or track your ROI on signs and fliers.

what app do you use to schedule people and show quotes. I must know =D Thanks

Did you end up getting this job and how much did you charge them or how much would you charge them

How would you go about cleaning windows on this big guy? Would you need a hoist,lift, cherry picker rental?

Isn't there an app to snap a pic of the business card and store them on your phone? I have never seen or used one but there must be one. Is there a reason you would keep the actual card? Great Vid!

What CRM are you using if you don’t mind me asking?

How long would it take for you to clean the whole walkway around the building?

Great videos man! I’m not in the house washing business....yet , but a lot of your info I can use for my small business. I’m looking into CRM software. Any info or suggestions?

Would you use something like Ceansol BC for this sort of job?

I heard you mention that the material for the building is concrete or "eephus". I have never heard of that type of material. What is it?

Can rain mess up your pressure shower machine, or anything elae, if your doing a job in that type of weather?

What estimate soft ware or program you use?

Any update? Did you finish this job? How did you clean the top of the building?

I missed it. Did you say what the quote was?

Great info and inspiring. How did you learn how to do all the different types of cleaning like concrete, windows, roofs, etc?

What CRM do you use ?

Love the channel! Where you out of? Your driving on the passenger side and sound American?🤔

i have ADHD bahahaha ..... ive been doing note pads for years.... i take no MEDS.... note pads are a must have.

What CRM are you running ? Does it integrate with your accounting software ?

Totally unrelated but it looks like youre driving a right hand drive truck. Is that truck right hand drive or is it something to do with your camera or am I just tripping?

Ray - which CMS did you go with?

Every thing in this video is the truth

What CRM are you using??

....plant that seed.....

Where in NC are you located? I’m out of Fuquay! South of Raleigh.

15k ok

They would absolutely give you a deposit

Do you use a lift on a job like this?

Hey Ray tell me what you think of my " tripple 8 threat " biding strategy...things are subject to change including upscaled .08 sq ft = commercial .18 sq ft = one story residential .28 sq ft = two story residential Note.. Perimiter Sq ft of building is the roof price and same price for house washing two story..half the price for house washing if one story...same strategy for Surface Cleaning..doubles with adding sealing

Did you get the job?

so you would charge for the fountain but not do it and not tell them unless they said you're price seemed a little high?

Where do you get your soft caps and shirts. They are awesome!

Update?

Estimated $26,000

How much was the quote, $3,400?

Whats a good crm?
