In QuoteIQ, where is all the customer/job data stored? Is it cloud storage or device storage? Is there an account data storage limit if it is cloud based?
The enjoyment of being outside and the satisfaction of not paying 250 dollars for 1 hour of work.
I always do my sidewalks and driveway with just cold water and it always works just fine for me. Sure it takes a couple of days to do a corner lot approx a third of a acre long(sidewalk) and a good size double driveway, and I just use this Greenworks 1600 PSI (1.2 GPM) Electric Pressure Washer with a flat spray tip.
Yeah I'm not trying to put down people who do this for a living but it's not that hard
I've never spent a "weekend" on a driveway........🙄
I don't have ANY idea where you're coming up with that....
At most, I've spent a couple of hours LOL.
Your tips helped me so much Mike. Had a 125$ driveway clean and guy gave me a 75$ tip! Thanks for the advice and keep up the grind👊🏽
That means have a minimum and upsell to get to that point. If you have to go out to a job for $125 that could have been filled with a $700 job so charge accordingly for your time. Make yourself stick to a $200-$250 minimum and get your customer to that point with what you offer.
@@SlickRickTPB I appreciate the tip as well, all ears to learn. My over head isn’t that much since I’m new to the business but I will keep that in mind for next jobs.
@@Luccc21 your customers don't know you are new and have no overhead.
$125??? You need to set a $200 minimum
To get rid of wand marks and braking your back hunched over for hours, get a pump sprayer and do a 50/50 blend of bleach and water and generously spray upon the surface. After 20/30 mins(depending on how bad the streaks) rinse off with a hose.
Having said that, it’s more bang for the results to use a professional power washing company.
Happy spring cleaning all!
Ps: Very well explained by this channel. Excellent details and well stated. TY!
50/50 is pretty strong - thanks for watching and contributing Jeff
@@washhoss I was referring to the homeowner and not a professional. My bad on the confusion. I was that dad who needed something to do and also have a background in painting and power washing. After transitioning from a single guy into married with children life, cleaning the small driveway and sidewalks was a “vacation of sorts”… Hope this clarifies. 🤣🙌🏼🤟🏼
@@AllAboutPressureWashing Does that 50/50 destroy the driveway that’s in your vid?
What ratio would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your response. Many blessings good sir!

Very clear and articulate presentation style - some people are 'born to teach.'
Great content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Just made 1 grand from pressure washing, polymeric sand and sealer. Your vid’s have been so helpful. Thank you
Hello, how are you doing? Enjoy your videos. How much water do you add to the 12.5 S&H to do concrete driveways? And how much do you mix to pressure wash a house without removing the paint? Thanks
Hey question.
If it’s not raining anytime soon, Would I come back 24hrs later to rinse a roof after softwashing it? How do you handle a situation like that? you’ve softwashed the roof but it isn’t going to rain for perhaps a month, what do you do?
Thanks for the video
👊🏻
Just a thought, if your using a wand you can make a jig with a wheel to attach to your wand, with a set screw or some locking mechanism that's adjustable and removable. Been washing hog barns for years it's really hard on the body running 10 gpm 3000+ psi for years , washing ceilings has taken a toll on my shoulders that's what hurts me is washing upwards, driveways sound like a vacation from pig barns
Do you rinse with water before doing pre-treatment?
Great! Thank you!
Thanks for the pointers. Would a gas 2900PSI 2.4 gallon per minute good enough with a surface cleaner for a concrete driveway or should i get the 3300 PSI?
I was told to only pressure wash concrete at no more than 2300 PSI and i have a Simpson 3400 PSI pressure washer, is that true and what can i get to knock down the PSI if it is true?
Do you water down the grass first before bleaching the driveway?
Wand and surface cleaner explained nicely. I got my washer today and kept saying to myself surface cleaner is useless:) thank you
As far as the ball valve. Do you have a male at the end to get a stream if you need it and female on your surface cleaner? Or vise versa?
Hey Mike, really enjoying your videos. I'm learning a lot.
I got to ask anyone ever told you look like Pedro Pascal. 😅
What pre treatment soap do u recommend?
Hey mike. Here in California they’re very strict about runoff going inside the sewer drains, just wanted to ask if you have your own method to get rid of the excess water left over? Thanks!
I would recommend a shop vac to suck up collecting water... Then dump the water down the storm drain when no one's looking.
Don't Ask , dont Tell
if you're worried about it get a small pump that activates when the water gets high enough, put it at the curb in the road where the water is draining and put a sandbag or wet towel around it in a half circle and put a hose on the pump and pump the runoff back into the yard somewhere, the rule if anyone actually says something is that it can't leave the property so just pump it back on. Most places nobody is going to care or know what they are seeing unless you are in a very nice gated community and your runoff is going down the entire road then someone might say something.
@@SlickRickTPB I looked into it and that’s what I’m thinking I’ll most likely do. The only question is where exactly I can let the water out as wouldnt the bleach kill any living organics? I’m trying to do the correct thing here but seems getting rid of the water will be a huge hassle trying to find containment facilities that’ll take it yada yada, if anything I’m thinking of just dumping it in my toilet
@@aa1chris123 I'd think twice before dumping bleach infested water into someone's grass... find a dead zone if possible where it won't kill or discolor whatever is available, honestly to be real safe you may need a gray tank/dump tank. Use it to rinse the bleach off first then throw the hose into the grass. Hope that would work
What do you think about pressure pro pressure washers for starting a business?
They are solid - I've had many of their machines and never had an issue
Do u use pool bleach for organic materials and how concentrated?
Hey mike, what’s the best way to structure your new pressure washing business for a long term success?
Hey , I was wondering how much would it cost to start a pressure washing Business, and what equipment to buy I’m still in collage and trying to do this for the summer 😮
I've made tons of videos on this
How do you collect all the runoff into the street? I heard it was illegal to run all the dirt/grime/chemicals into the road? Any help with this would be appreciated.
Using bleach will not make the pressure wash last any longer than not using bleach.
I have a question that doesn't necessarily pertain to this video but when you do a roof wash how long can you leave the chemical on if you're not expecting rain in the near future. Can chemical be left on for days or even weeks or should it be rinsed if no rain is expected
Wet it and forget it. If you are doing shake roofs, get very educated first.
@@DucatiHyper thank you
G'day Mike, just wondering what the best way to contact you is?
I have a few questions regarding pressure washing
Cheers
I don't take calls but we have a tremendous amount of knowledge and training available on The Resource Page pwcourse.com
Which surface cleaner would u recommend, with wheels or without wheels ?
It's a personal preference
Nice shirt sport 😂
🤣

💯
This is good info for the pros too! It's always good to brush up on basics and keep the brain squishy. Good info Mike, thanks! 🧠
So, he starts the video by saying that "if you are a homeowner and wants to clean your drive way professionally...." and then went on to run his advertisement for next 7 mins on why you shouldn't do it!
Context is Key.
That’s right tell ‘em! Work smarter not harder!
Did you get shadow banned?
Of course not
You can do a jam up job on a driveway with no bleach. But that don’t mean that I am against it.
Can you pre treat AND post treat ?
Of course
@@AllAboutPressureWashing should you rinse the post treat with high pressure or low pressure rinse
What does post treating entail?
Nothing more than time.
Do you think 550 is alot for a 3500 sqft house?
Nope
@@AllAboutPressureWashing was just wondering I gave a quote today for a 3500 sqft massive house for 550 and the guy reacted as if I Said 5k lol told me my quote was the highest he had gotten so far I thought it was a fair quote at just under .15 cent a sqft
Yes
@@danielparasiliti6448 Go wash a 3500sq ft house and tell me how much you would charge then
2:05 days start from high point to low… u literally stared at the bottom bruh.. y u lyin
That was the top of the driveway
He is scamming people guys by teaching them this 😂😂😂😂
Exactly!!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
You left swirl marks 😂
Of course not
