Well said!

How do you know my name, KJ how

Wow, that's amazing! Thanks for sharing this win with us.

Wait. So you can drive up, unload, set up, climb onto a roof, do the whole roof, climb down, clean up, load back up and drive away in 45 minutes? Or was that with a crew of a half dozen pressure washers all working at once?

You must live in a big city lmao I don’t I live almost 2 hours from a major city and there’s no shot I could land something like that around here. Most I made in a job is $500. Purely depends where you live at. Higher cost of living areas like cities you can expect to be paid more.

Good for you

Congrats on your success! 🚀

That's interesting. Do you have a water tank? Do you have have a pickup truck. I was thinking of just doing driveways part time, just as a side hustle. I like your story. You got to charge more than $100!! What state?

@markj6681 that was then. Yes I have a pick up truck a water tank and a generator. But the difference now clients don't have a problem with me using their water and electricity so it makes a world of difference. So now that I have a nice reputation with all of them plus new clients I was able to actually quit my full time job and do this full time. The reason why I charged up to $100 was because at the time the neighborhoods in Tennessee people have short driveways. But now I charge $250 per driveways for residential areas for a certain square footage. Anything more than that range I charge more but still keep it affordable for most of my clients. It's the HOA you want to look for because they have no choice but to keep it their areas clean or else they'll get a fine and of course they don't won't to pay those fines and don't want to do it themselves really. So I have a whole neighborhood to myself consisting of 125 houses ranging from $250-$550 per. I do this for every house every month so they money is crazy good just to play in some water at the clients expense. So what did I do with my water tank and generator you ask, I now also provide a trash can cleaning service. I charge $25 for the first can and $10 for each additional can. I treat the cans with a pre-rinse of bleach and all purpose cleaner. Then use my pressure washer and foam cannon to soap it up real good then use a long handle brush to start the initial cleaning inside and out before pressure washing with the rinse. Then I dry the cans with my blower then use a pump sprayer to add a fragrance to the cans. PEOPLE LOVE IT. I hope this helps and good luck with your potential success

@@dongordon7225how did you secure all those houses in that neighborhood? Door to door or did you talk with HOA and they sent emails to everyone about your service? Also, what are the services you are providing every month because driveways really only need to be pressure washed no more than once a year? Thanks!

@@dongordon7225what do you do with the stuck on crud in the can? I assume that can’t just be washed off out into the street right? When you got started did everyone just let you use their water so you charge just for the labor basically and then once you move up to having your own tank you charged more? I already have a pretty good washer I use on my home. I don’t know how much to charge. I have a truck, but no idea what a tank and all that would even cost.

Absolutely. These are powerful tools!

That's such an inspiring success story! Starting with free services and heavy advertising was a smart move that paid off well for his pressure washing business. Hard work and dedication goes a long way!

Thanks for your comment. We didn't get into details in this video, but he also does other power washing services, not just bin cleaning.

So like 12.5 ish bins an hour for a 40 hour week.

Not necessarily 100 houses, rather, 100 bins. My house alone has 2 trash bins and a recycling bin. Not to mention, he did some commercial work with the 2 front loader dumpsters. He probably charges way more for the commercial work. Side of his truck also states "Not just bins" and literally lists all the other jobs he can power wash.

Thank you for sharing your insightful perspective!

Go for it!

Probably wouldn't start with that unless you're well off, those vehicles need a lot of maintenance and repairs

^^^ don’t listen to guys like this in life. There’s always naysayers to you wanting to start any kinda business… just go for it man

​@@MysterykingdomThat's a lazy toxic mindset.

We think so too!

Hahahahahaha imagine being this soft 😂😂😂😂

Glad to hear you're pivoting to something that works better for you!

hobbyist detailer myself - I also would rather clean other people houses than their cars lol

You're doing an incredible job! Keep pushing forward with your dedication and hard work, you've got this! 💪🏽👍🏽

Why is CA a problem?

Yes please elaborate on why California is a problem

Keep on hustling, make connections, get job site contracts if you can. For those who don’t know why CA is tough, it’s because we don’t encounter the mold and algae growth like say in TX or FL. Driveways stay clean for years for the most part other than the oil stains. I just moved to TX and man it’s way different out here. Every building and piece of concrete needs it out here.

@@DjSource20California is a problem because the mild climate does not create as much mold and mildew as say Florida does. Also, they are banning gas powered engines. My 5 GPM Honda can not be sold in California. California is way over regulated and it makes running a business very difficult.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Focusing on skill, customer service, and efficient marketing can set you apart from the competition.

Glad you enjoyed the video! We'd recommend checking out local dealerships or online platforms that specialize in commercial vehicles. It's always best to start your search in your local area to make the process easier. Best of luck!

Thanks for the positive feedback! It was designed by Mari, Co-Owner of Eco Kleen of the Palm Beaches.

Great suggestion!

How would I go about doing this

Thanks for your comment. Yeah they did start with using the customers' water.

Steve's great! Thanks for watching! 🙌

Thanks Coty! I appreciate you.

Hey Victor! We just released a brand new pressure washing video, with helpful information on equipment. You can find it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gauibLSmmcvZnIE.html

The longer the wand, the less bending you'll have to do. A surface cleaner doesn't really require a lot of bending over, thankfully.

@@Guigley awesome thanks so much

@@journeywithjay3197 STANDING for long periods of time doing that work, WILL mess with your back. You can try to wear a lower back belt to help (depends how bad yours is.) The bending part (putting strain on your back) would be connecting and disconnecting the hose to the pressure washer (rig like his would make it easier than using basic gasoline pressure washer machine off the floor.) Overall, business like that can and more than likely WILL give you pain; considering your back issues. You can always try it first. Rent a regular pressure washer machine, and clean few driveways to see how you feel after it.

Congrats on the success of your business! Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.

There is so much ignorance, & maybe male bravado, in the detailing & cleaning worlds it seems. I assume most don't read the SDS's and therefore aren't aware that the person selling you that chemical put in tiny letters "really don't breathe this in, let it touch your skin or face, or you are going to get injured & we're not even really sure how you could get hurt or how badly". I always cringe when someone is talking about some new detailing chem and they take a biggggg whiff to tell me about how great it smells....uhhhh yeah no thanks I don't want to ever smell these chems, that means lung mucous membranes are intaking it & the label says thats really really bad... lol

@@MarkTrades__ You would not believe the level of protection that my employees wear on the job. Where mixing up chemicals and applying them to very large areas at PH 13-14. I know two guys that are dying right now from various forms of cancer because they spent their life in the chemical industry unprotected.

@@degreaseLLC amen brother got a mfg background myself & seen too many young ppl myself included trying to act tough around an old guy or something. But by 30 40 50 they all start wearing their occupation & yes the cancer too. Good on you for taking responsibility for your guys. Safety-related accidents really suck.

I'm considering starting a pressure washing company as well. What's the duration you'll need to wear a respirator for while you're doing a cleaning job? Is it only while you're spraying using chemicals?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Eric!

"4 hours a day" ? Seems very minimal.

@@GasMaskManPNW 4 hours of actual physical pressure washing. There are hours for traveling to the site, setup, etc etc and time spent running the business side.

Glad you enjoyed the video, and best of luck! We have two more videos in the series, be sure to check them out here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLoktA_D-2UEldZunqOGJIQQ-8ahZFLKZA&feature=shared

Depending on the tactic, marketing expenses can be costly. There are plenty of low cost ways to help grow - you can check out the other videos in our pressure washing series. It's important to plan and budget accordingly to ensure your pressure washing business's success.

Absolutely!

Hi Jack, we recommended looking for local dealers to find pressure washing trucks in your area.

Thanks for your comment! We have an article all about starting off your pressure washing business, and it should answer most (or all) of your questions: getjobber.com/academy/pressure-washing/how-to-start-pressure-washing-business/

Thank you for sharing your valuable thoughts and reminding us of the challenges and hard work involved in the pressure washing business. It's important to do thorough research and understand the potential risks before starting any business.

Agree. The results make everything look easy. Plenty of people doing the same and hardly make a profit.

Exactly. I hate all these “click bait” videos on “make big money doing…” bull shit. If everything was that easy to make a ton of money doing, there wouldn’t be 99% of people in the world living poorly.

​@Jobber GTFO bet you weren't even a legal American. Dems basically give you a life for free at this point. Now pay taxes to offset mine that you most likely siphoned.

​@iwasright9686 That's the new media for you, never show the true method or how many skeletons are in their closet to get that far. Always pretending ANYONE can do it BS.

We have a video about how to get customers and jobs, check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h92na9WS3bKch4U.html

Location. Your neighbors are cheap, broke, and or a combination of both. Go to neighborhoods where people have more money than time, not the other way around. You have to offer something that people want but to not want to do themselves. Middle class and lower, folks will either do it themselves or go without.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's important to consider that different cleaning approaches may be used for different situations.

It's not as easy as it looks. You have to build and advertise.

On average about $0.10 to $0.50 USD per square foot. We have a price calculator available here 🙂getjobber.com/academy/pressure-washing/how-to-price-pressure-washing-jobs/

Glad you found the video inspiring!

Starting a pressure washing business requires some investment, but there are more affordable options available for both pressure washing brushes and pressure washers, including budget-friendly brands like Ryobi (like you mentioned). Finding a balance between quality and cost can help you get started without breaking the bank.

I started off with buying a Ryobi pressure washer from Harbor Freight for around $80 and bought a better wand for it. Drove around a couple of neighborhoods and pressure washed small driveways for $50-$100 per. Took pics and posted on social media along with contact info. Business has been jumping off since then. Doing it for almost 2 years now as a side hustle and have made over $150K.... Thinking about going full time and hopefully double that.

Aren't pilots quitting?

@@youknowkbbaby not at the moment industry is doing pretty good now

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Probably less than that!!!

You will lose your bet. I made about 225k in the first 3 years and worked alone, in a country that is 500 times smaler than United States, with on every corner the same business. Yes only a handfull will make bigger money, because most think being an entrepreneur is just easy money. But that is the choice people make. But it is possible to make 100k + in your first year.

@@baggedasix5319what country may I ask? I live in Canada and the problem here is that it’s freezing for half of the year. Spraying water won’t do a thing other than create an interesting ice sculpture.

@displaychicken Belgium. But United States you can make that 100k. I do understand that some countries like Canada, have some weather issues. Hard work, consistency and dedication my friend. And you will go very far. Problem with lot's of people is, that they wanne get rich quick. Rich quick formulas don't exist. Patience and believe 200% in yourself and your goals. Peace ✌️

Sounds like you got a great deal on your setup! Prices can vary based on the equipment and customization choices, but the important thing is finding what works best for your specific needs and budget.

we've reached the part of the online guru cycle where the people selling the lifestyle of being a pressure washer have moved on to "selling the shovels" - aka, they are selling people on how great being a pressure washer is, yet their business is in making a profit from youtube engagement and selling courses, or selling the chems & turn-key trailers as we see with this industry. In car detailing they start to sell courses & the chemicals. First big sign that the established players in before the big rush have come to realize the occupation is not as easy as before because its saturated, so they move to sell to their previous competition using their larger amount of experience & knowledge.

Yep. 90 seconds in and I can already see that too 😂😂😂

While the pressure washing business may seem competitive in some regions, there are still opportunities for success with the right strategy and dedication!

I hardly see anyone pressure washing, but the few times I see them they are using the cheapest machines available. I cannot imagine hiring someone to do this.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Many successful pressure washing businesses do earn substantial incomes. The goal of this video is to provide valuable insights on how to break into this industry and become successful.

Regulations vary depending on location, so it's important to do your research before starting any business!

With dedication and consistency, it's definitely achievable and rewarding to start a pressure washing business. 🚀💪

Nobody smart looks to start a business thinking it’ll be easy lol they look for money and time freedom

Glad you're inspired by this video, Anthony! To find a bin washing truck, we'd recommend checking out local dealerships or online platforms that specialize in commercial vehicles. It's always best to start your search in your local area to make the process easier. Happy hunting for your own bin washing truck!
