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

Greetings It's not wrong to have both also and educate

Well said!

How do you know my name, KJ how

@@CreativeKJ54 Ape family?

I never knew or had a father growing up. My mother did say a convenience store chain was named after him his name was; “Kum & Go”.

The shit skin???

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.

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!

Absolutely. These are powerful tools!

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.

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.

100 houses a day is nothing if its only trash cans lol

you seen how fast that machine washes those bins. It looks like it takes a matter of a few minutes and it's done. You can knock out a whole street in no time. Since it's his own business, he prob works 8-12 hours a day.

Thank you for the post! Sorry to hear about your layoff, but it sounds like you have an exciting plan for next steps. Glad our channel can help you get started! We'd suggest also checking out the Masters of Home Service for some tips and insight from industry pros: kzfaq.info/sun/PLoktA_D-2UEnqRjgtW0c6oYRF59C9E0Pc

We think so too!

Hahahahahaha imagine being this soft 😂😂😂😂

​@@MrGoodeatsHe's soft for pointing out this can be a saturated market depending on where you are? What a weird take

@@dtwduuvaaall6865 it's not saturated at all. Since then I've started a power washing business and make 4-7 sales per day. It's only saturated if you are soft and do weak marketing methods

Where I live the most people will pay is 12 dollars an hour. Because they have their own dewalt/honda pressure washer and a son or nephew who needs cash for baseballs or videogames

Happy to hear you enjoyed the video, and best of luck starting your business. We have two more videos in the series to help you along your journey! You can check them out on our channel.

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.

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

Really happy to hear you enjoyed the video!

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.

Don't lie to people then. Just like the people in these videos. They gross 200k, not profit. I bet they spend 45% min

He sure does!

Thank you for your comment! We hope to bring more quality videos like these to our viewers. Stay tuned 😎

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?

Great suggestion!

How would I go about doing this

Nah, demolition is easy money. Go a pressure wash 4 story houses in Houston for 1 year and come back to me

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.

Depends on the job and how much they pay. I've had to fill 500 gallon tanks for free and I've charged 30% extra on water costs for others

I worked for a pressure washing company, we always used the customers water source. It wouldn't hurt to verify before hand though

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!

Imagine when the migrants get pressure washer and do it for half the cost. It's already happening in houston

Thank you for sharing your insightful perspective!

Lol what a crap comment. Can't make money? Just spend money and move.....

Easy money does exists it's called being a politician than businesses like you want to vote for. Like Trump. He slashed taxes for very specific businesses and everyone thinks it actually helps them....

Thank you! Maybe if you got 300k worth of vehicles and tools. These dudes on here are all freestyling

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! Focusing on skill, customer service, and efficient marketing can set you apart from the competition.

Greetings from Singapore I was thinking one of the things if ure going there for work and study ,work and holiday via family ,But the challenges can someone advise ,but there saying A Ceo listen to janitor ,how is the safety wise there ?

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

Considering 3m and Dupont are being sued. If you use chemicals I will not hire you

🙌

Yeah no skill job. Being a successful trash bin cleaner won't get you anywhere except cleaning trash bins. If the goal is not to build a company, than most people will never make 200k

Steve's great! Thanks for watching! 🙌

Thanks Coty! I appreciate you.

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.

These business owners are definitely finding success in their area!

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

I was thinking it looks kind of a scam business.

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/

Glad you found the video inspiring!

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

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

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.

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

I know 12 companies in my town. Every Tom dick and Harry has a pressure washer. These businesses only work in the suburbs for residential or in the city for Comercial. In the country and residential cities, nobody can afford to pay 150 an hour so they hire the landscapers to do it for 50 an hour

If you're interested in learning more about this industry, wee have two more videos in the series: kzfaq.info/sun/PLoktA_D-2UEldZunqOGJIQQ-8ahZFLKZA

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

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

Hi there! It's standard to use the customer's water. Depending on your equipment, you may also bring a tank to supplement some bigger machines. We have a library of resources that may be helpful to you as you get your pressure washing business started --> getjobber.com/academy/pressure-washing/

@@Jobber thanks

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!

I wouldn't be worried about ai. I would be worried about the migrant who will do a better job for half the price

Check out the third video in the series that covers marketing and advertising: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h92na9WS3bKch4U.html

Hi there, great question! Pricing your pressure washing services depends on various factors. We hope this article helps answer your question 👉 getjobber.com/academy/pressure-washing/how-to-price-pressure-washing-jobs/.

We think so!

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.

KZfaq videos love to lie. Yeah they made 200k but they didn't profit 200k. And if they do, a team.of migrants will out work them and under cut their business. Good luck

Hi there! The numbers in the thumbnail reference Steve Lawrence's business, Klein Pressure Washing. As he mentions in the video, he does it part-time, not five days a week. But yes, there's a lot of potential for growth!

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/

Some neighbors will over pay and these guys think they are geniuses

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

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.

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