Dude, this is an amazing video. First of all, sounds like you were just starting out when you’re talking in this video, because you’re asking for 75 likes, and you have nearly 1500. Secondly, you’re giving an amazing amount of information here, so new guys like myself want to say thank you. But seriously, I would never charge that amount. For that house I’d probably do between $575 and $675 in the Madison Wisconsin area. I’m subscribing. Great content! Except the first five minutes was a commercial of you doing Facebook ads for people. 😜 But seriously, much love and appreciation... 🙏🏻
@@jamescooperjr3303 check out more videos here on TH-cam from guys that do this, and you will see that they are talking about pricing things out per square footage, or linear footage if you do someone’s roof. Look for my folder here on TH-cam that says “pressure washing”, and you will see that I have kept a lot from different people that you can follow and learn from. And no, don’t do it by the hour, do it by the square foot or linear foot, for roofs. Go to my channel and click “playlists”, and scroll down in alphabetical order till you see “pressure washing”.
I have that same machine with same start up problem. I returned one and had similar issue with the new one. I think it has to do with the choke, I start the machine with no problem now but with the choke slide to off. Try it, hope it works for you.
Im a mechanic. A lot of the issue with carbureted engines is fuel. The fuel used today is garbage. It’s only consider good for about two weeks. I’m assuming you burn through the tank every day or two, however you never know. Try taking the float bowl off and cleaning it out. The float could be sticking. And as mentioned use fuel stabilizer. Thanks for the video.
I love Bro running out a suv, I started 10 years ago cutting grass with a jeep. People just gotta take a shot! I would sell every neighbor on my street and rent one from the depot for a day. 6 houses and you go buy a new one!
I've been watching 100s of videos as i'm starting up my own Pressure Washing Service. One thing i've noticed is everyone has a different chemical mixture. Yours is the one I prefer the most but I have a question. For your downstream, when pouring your mixture, do you put water in your bucket to dilute the bleach? I know downstreaming already dilutes it as water is coming through the hose already, just wondering if i should dilute my mixture in the bucket as well.
Test it out, if the organic growth is not coming off the surface odds are your diluting it to much. Downstreaming can only get so hot of a chemical. So for some surfaces such as many roofs, you would need a way to pull strongner chem.
@ yeah that’s cool. This comment is three years old. Obviously I’d be charging more now still in business. PS I did a driveway and sidewalk today. About that size in about 15 minutes. $140
Was it not heavy to get off the machin from your truck? How do you put it in and how do you take it out?? Pleas I want to know if could be have for my truck. Thanks
knowing that you here for support is awesome my dude, we either same age or you younger, but im having my lets goooo origin stories now 😂😂😂, and i happen to come across video
Hey doing my first house wash, il be using 5 gallon buckets, how much bleach I need to put for vinyl. How many gallons of 10%? I know a place here that does fresh batches of 10% So . my question is how many gallons of the 10% do I need in a 5 gallon bucket when washing vinyl house?
You mentioned you were having trouble on turning it on, i recommend working with the throttle. With that I mean don’t have it full power or low power just work in between and you definitely will notice the difference
Should be spraying away from the grass and start from the bottom to the top when spraying the house. And spray down and grass or plants that could get hit prior to bleaching and after you hit the vegetation.
Please keep in mind, SH is considered corrosive and an algaecide. It will destroy plants, grass, etc. If it kills algae ,mold, mildew, and lichen, it will kill any plant life. Pre soak any vegetation prior to downstreaming, 12.5 or softwashing.
Hey just had a quick question. Around the 5 min mark in the video it looked like the SH was pooling up on the bottom of the side or the house. Did you have to worry about the run off coming off the house and burning the lawn. Thanks trying to learn as much as I can!
All of these online videos with guys letting chemicals run down the gutter is because they don't know the laws. This is a huge fine, and they are filming the evidence right here!
How are you doing? Just quick question you didn’t add any water to the 5 gallon bucket of S&H? And do you have a chart of what S&H to use with what water and what solvent? Thanks. And you said after you pre-treated it surface, cleaned it you left S&H on it to dry and you left that on there and went to the next job?
As far as that downstreamer, how does that work? You connect the hose to the bucket with strictly bleach and sulfactant and does it mix with the water going through pressure washer and dilute it? Or is it onoy spitting out whats in the blue bucket? Im looking to buy a downstreamer for my soap to make iobs easier. Thanks ahead of time!
The gx200 is a great motor but can be finicky with the low oil switch so check your oil level. Other than that check your spark plug is clean and your gas is fresh.
Hi John, thanks for the video. I have a question... In your experience can too hot of a mix hurt vinyl siding? Like around 4 %. Could just stain it, discolor or harm it? Thank you
As far as you pull in the cord and it not starting just push the choke in a little bit with your hand as you do it it'll start up the first time every time.
Is bleach ok to run through the pump on that model? I have a pressure washer with a built in downstreamer, but the spec sheet says do not use bleach. Just wondering so I can switch pressure washing models! thanks!
John thanks for sharing all the good info,i have a 2 story home and a 3600 dewalt,can you tell what to use to clean my roof with out getting on a ladder . Again thanks

Ever need to reclaim or divert your runoff in the Tampa area? Is that enforced?
I was supposed to start with my little power washer but I had summer school ugh
When you are cranking up your pressure washer make sure you are pulling the trigger at the same time
Thanks brother will do!
You really don’t have too
FYI POWER washing is a hot water application. PRESSURE washing is a cold water application.

HEY MAN, I live in the Tampa Bay just started a pressure washing business. Your videos are great.
same here man!
videos and knowledge has been on point in out of st pete area i love the business an opps
2k subs when posted now it's at 25k definitely growing strong !
what about the chemicals going into the storm drain? how do you get rid of those?
I just did a $375 pressure wash last week took me 3 hours :)
great video man. How do the grass and plants take the SH?
John when you used your surface cleaner, how did you stop chemicals for being dispensed? Or do you use chemicals while using a surface cleaner
knowing that you here for support is awesome my dude, we either same age or you younger, but im having my lets goooo origin stories now 😂😂😂, and i happen to come across video
Quick question? Do these chemicals harm the landscape? Grass or plants?
No sir I dilute the mix
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge 😊

The chlorine doesn’t kill the grass and vegetation?
No sir
Hey doing my first house wash, il be using 5 gallon buckets, how much bleach I need to put for vinyl. How many gallons of 10%? I know a place here that does fresh batches of 10%
So . my question is how many gallons of the 10% do I need in a 5 gallon bucket when washing vinyl house?
How do you explain to the customer that the cleaning agents won’t hurt the surrounding plants?
We use a diluted mix
You mentioned you were having trouble on turning it on, i recommend working with the throttle. With that I mean don’t have it full power or low power just work in between and you definitely will notice the difference
How did you switch from soap water to straight water? Is there a button on the pressure washer sprayer?
Should be spraying away from the grass and start from the bottom to the top when spraying the house. And spray down and grass or plants that could get hit prior to bleaching and after you hit the vegetation.
Hey Man, wouldn't you get the same results if you only use water and no chemicals at all?
No
just wondering, since the landscape is so lush, do you presoak the plants to avoid any chemical damage?
No not with a downstream mix
Please keep in mind, SH is considered corrosive and an algaecide. It will destroy plants, grass, etc. If it kills algae ,mold, mildew, and lichen, it will kill any plant life. Pre soak any vegetation prior to downstreaming, 12.5 or softwashing.
He should be

wet the lawn and any plants before you start the job, hose them down really well with water first and the grass along the edges to be safe.
How are you switching so seamlessly frome plain water to your solution?
Jrod
I’m interested in adding pressure washing to my cleaning company . Love to get started
Wouldn’t the chemicals kill the grass when spraying the side of the houses?
No we dilute our mix
At the beginning is that considered a soft wash. Also are you using any water at that point?
Nice job John! What is the draw rate of your pump?
Where can I find those chemicals at? What’s the name of them both?
Pool store
good job brother, I already have everything to start my new life, working for myself, good luck in your business, thank you ....
Best of luck!
In your state are you allowed to let the materials run into the water drain? Is that an issue you need to watch out for ?
I think you sometimes have to call them (city) to allow you or run the chemicals into their grass and water it down
where can i find garden hose spools like that
All of these online videos with guys letting chemicals run down the gutter is because they don't know the laws. This is a huge fine, and they are filming the evidence right here!

And you said after you pre-treated it surface, cleaned it you left S&H on it to dry and you left that on there and went to the next job?

Quick question where do you get the water from ? Do you need ur own gallon of water or do you use the water from the house

Will this dewalt power washer draw water from a standing tank or do you have to have inlet water under a little pressure.
Did you connect a downstream injector to use the bleach or did you use the injector that is already built on the pressure washer?
I’m really interested in starting my own pressure washing business, but not sure what I need to start doing jobs or how many items I would need ?
Did you spray with their screens on?! Please tell me you didn't.

do the chemicals run through it while your using the surface cleaner. that always confuses me
