I’d rather them not do that. But at the end of the day, you afford what you can afford. I started with a 2 1/2 gallon machine. That’s the only way I could start. Had I not done that I would not be where I am today.
@@AustinDavis24 The ball valve you sent is rated for 3000 PSI but I have a 4400 PSI machine so will that be fine? You recommended getting a 4200 psi machine and then recommended a 3000 rated ball valve so Im assuming its okay huh?
@@CommanderRich yes it’s fine. That pressure eating is referring to max pressure going through the ball valve. You’ll never be using that much pressure with basic house washing
@@AustinDavis24 But what about when Im not washing with chemicals anymore and I am actually pressure washing? Ill be using high PSI to get off stains and dirt and just overall clean wont I? Or do you not ever really use high pressure when pressure washing because chemicals pretty much get rid of all that and now youre just washing it off?
@@CommanderRich you’re never going to use a high-pressure tip and blast anything away. Everything is going to be cleaned using chemicals. Even when you’re using a surface cleaner to clean a driveway. The pressure is split between the tips. trust me. It’s not of concern.
I dont even have a truck! I ride in a honda accord with my 2.7 gallon pressure washer and lemme tell ya its possible just a grind! Lose customers due to lack of equipment but the job gets done and happy customers.
I have a Nissan maxima. That’s all I got right now. But ima build my business with it. Only thing that can stop us is US! Use what you got! I’m glad I’m not alone.
When i was a young buck i ran a successful swimming pool BUILDING company Tools and crew) out of a volkswagen scirocco. cheers to the guys who just do it.
I had gotten the $400 course from "the other guys" over a year ago, thinking I was going to learn things I never knew. Their course was good but most of the things on there I had already found on TH-cam. You making a course for less than $50 is a blessing, man. Like on how to mix bleach ratios...I've seen videos on mix ratios as long as 15 minutes, for something that you explained in less than 2. Like c'mon mayne.
Great videos. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and experience. Nice job!!! Saving others many headaches. Where was youtube when I needed it. I've been in the exterior cleaning business for 26 plus years. My advice is, keep things simple. Learn basic plumbing skills. Know hoses, hose sizes, learn about fittings, and quick connects. Learn about how to replace O rings. A must to save thousands. Be prepared the day before. Keep equipment clean and maintained, its 90% of the job. Learn about pressure washers' gallons per minute, psi. Like many, I started with a 2 gallon per minute consumer machine. Looking back, I dont know how I did it. If your going into this business, you really do need to invest in a 4 gallon per minute 3000 psi or higher machine. High psi is a must for concrete. Yes, gallons per minute are important. Your pumps dictate this. A good Honda engine. Anything over 8 is very hard to maintain. You need inch and half to 3 inch plumbing to keep those machines running at that level. 5.0 to 6 gallons per minute can handle 95 % of anything. I've done massive jobs with 5 gallons per minute belt driven machines for longevity of machine. Learn about chemicals. Acid, bases, safety. Learn how to make your own bc it's too costly to buy dorect consumer cleaners in the end. Believe it or not, water can clean most things used properly. Dont be a bleach dumper. Not good for neighbors, plants can dry out vinyls asphalt shingles if too strong and can be dangerous to your own health. Ruins clothes, plus you will learn to hate it. Chemicals have there place. So does bleach. Liability is involved. Accidentally spray neighbors car or house, kill plants, trees. Your going to pay for it and hurts your name. Just be safe, and use common sense when using chemicals. Always water down plants in area. Take the time to make sure your applying chemical only where you need it. Know what works for grease what works for mold and algea. Know your dirts! You can make 6 figures in this business if you learn these basics. Great advice here. It's blood sweat and tears in the beginning. It took me about 3 years to start making a decent living. Set a minium charge for anything. Stick to your guns. Be honest and upfront with all your clients. If you dont know, it's ok to let client know. Tell them uo front bc some things are beyond cleaning but you can get it to look better. Never stop learning. Im still learning better ways. This can be a rewarding and profitable career.
Building your own skid teaches you placement and efficiency . For instance, a simple thing like having equipment fuel tanks on the same side as your truck tank helps you pull in once for fuel, instead of possible moving the truck , or just having to climb over and around to fuel equipment tanks. You might say no big deal, but do it every day!!!
Can’t wait to get the program Austin! I’m in Georgetown and have been watching and following your successful journey for a while and want to get out of the rat race of working for someone else!!
I’ve spent thousands on courses/coaches for a broad range of information; crazy surprised you’re only charging around that price. U prolly listen to Alex Hormozi cus you actually know how to price/market your product Definitely will cop the second it releases - appreciate it bro!!
Hi Austin, for those of us that live in colder climates, do you recommend a work van instead of an open bed pickup truck? My concern would be the hoses freezing overnight. Also, another concern would be theft protection and protect the equipment from rain & snow.
The comments section here truly disappoints. All the nonsense about not advising ppl to get anything less than 4gpm. Listen you START WITH WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD. if it’s a small 2.5gpm, go ahead. Get it and get started. Use the money you make and save it for a bigger setup afterwards. Don’t let clowns who pretend to be experts who have never struggled give you advice. Buy what you can just to start then save to upgrade. Your SH mix will do most of the work anyway.
I've been watching a lot of videos trying to find best stuff to get starter. This was probably the best one I've seen. Well explained and just informative enough. Thanks for all the help
HEY AUSTIN, GREAT JOB ON BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS. I KNOW THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO COVER EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRADE BUT CAN YOU ELAVORATE ON HOW YOU PRICE THE JOBS AND WHAT' ARE YOUR DISCILPLINES ON SCHEDULES ?
I don’t seem to find anything on your channel about hot water pressure washing and if it’s recommended. Is there a video anywhere where you talk about it?
5:30, so what about a lower psi electric power washer? I understand gpm is better, but if its low psi and u got the trigger held, wouldnt it be optimal pressure, distance, and spread?
I’ve been looking at skids for sale. I’m beginning to think there might be more money in building skids than washing. I’m kind of kidding around but wow, the markup is crazy on complete skids. I’m glad I’m mechanically inclined.
Whats the blue hose? Backup for the high pressure hose? Also is there a hitch that can fit all of my equipment instead of lugging it in my personal truck? Thanks for the help! Great information
Hi Austin! I’m a brand new pressure washer planning to start my business in the spring or early summer and am building my own rig based on my research I’ve been doing since around April of this year. My question is, do you use a water reclamation system or do you not worry about the water and chemical potentially running down the storm drains? I’ve recently just found out about the “clean water act” and just wondering how you handle that. I also want to say I love your videos and have watched a lot of your content in the recent weeks. Thank you for the information you put out here for us small/new guys.
I thank you so much this is what I want myself to get into . I currently work for UPS I have a year in a half left To retire I have now 30 years total so I want my my own pressure washing company in an another state when I move . Now my question is how can I get trained should I call a company to train me more on this or just keep watching videos.
Thank you for this video. I'm in a position where I need to get this to work for me, and it answered a lot of questions I had. I will be purchasing your beginners video. And subscribing to your channel.
This might be an absolutely stupid question but here goes… where do you get your water from when for example using the simson 4 gallon machine linked in amazon? Do you like connect it with customers faucet in their house?
Brilliant idea for a video Austin,thanks q million for thinking about this step by step guide to business ownership in pressure washing. Watching from The beautiful Bahamas
Where do you keep you chem tank and how do you clean the rig and equipment to keep everything from rusting out from the bleach? How long before the truck bed rusts out?
Hey Austin, really appreciate the time you took this video I’m a little better than halfway through at the moment but I noticed that you’re using a 2.1 downstream injector not a 1.8?
I enjoy watching your vids brother, thanks for taking the dedicated time to give all this info. Ill be starting a business myself here this spring and this is giving me plenty of confidence and excitement. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for all this info and links. Wanted to know what brand gun that is you have? I currently have a MTM Hydro but like the angle of that one you have.
Hello Austin, thanks for the video. I recently bought a Still RB 600 3gpm 3200 psi pressure washer, surface cleaner, and extended wand to clean my the exterior of my own home and some older family members homes. I feel like what I've saved on DIY the equipment is paid for. I'm getting some inquiries from friends about doing some work for them. I'm a GC and It's intriguing as another line of business. But I don't want to get in over my head. Is there a trade organization you can recommend to gain training, legal info etc other than YT?
So now the soft wash system I was looking at the NorthStar ATV Tree Sprayer - 26-Gallon Capacity, 5.5 GPM, 12 Volts will this work? BTW love your videos keep killing it!
when you apply chemical with a downstream injector, how do you rinse without chemical coming out? Do you shut it off somehow or do you use a different system to rinse?
just starting out in the business and its probably a dumb question but instead of buying a soft wash system could i add 1 or 2 more down stream injectors all going backl to my chemical tank and up my chemical percentage?
I would recommend 5 gallons per minute. …. I started out with a3.5 gallons belt drive BE , back in 2008 I still have the machine however I strongly recommend 5 gallons starting out
There are a couple how to wash tutorials in there. However, as of right now, the program is mostly consist of starting the business, getting customers getting found on Google and the wholesales aspect. Because that is what drives revenue. You can easily learn how to wash on TH-cam after a couple videos.however as it starts to warm up, I will be adding a lot of how to wash videos. So in the next 30 to 60 days, there will be a complete how to wash section, but as of right now there are only a couple of washing videos.
Great video! 👍👍A small time pro myself (mobile RV service), I'm just looking to upgrade portable washer, hoses. and other related equipment. Already had new Simpson +Kohler 2.5gpm unit and hoses in my Amazon cart, deleted and re-entered using your link.
Hey thanks alot for your videos! For cleaning residential driveways, can you simply hookup your pressure washer and surface cleaner to the clients hose? Or do you need a whole truck system and tanks. Is that doable..? Thanks again!
You do not need a whole system like mine. You can simply just get a pressure washer and plug the pressure washer into the hose spigot on a customers house. Then plug in your surface cleaner. The reason why you’d want something built in a truck platform like mine is to keep everything. Nice, neat and organized. That way you do not have to unload all of your equipment every single time you get to a job.
Thanks for your advise. I’m thinking about furthering my pressure washing game. I’ve done it for years as an added service to my window cleaning, but I’m realizing that you can make some serious figures when doing it more. I’m looking to upgrade my 2.7 Gpm washer. It does fine but takes longer. I was thinking of a direct drive Be’ , or a Simpson 4gpm for (mainly residential) work. I’m doing about one pressure washing job a week with my window cleaning, plus some driveways . What do you think ?
Hey Austin your content is very helpful. I’m just starting this year full time and your old build videos have helped me make some decisions. I have a question for you on the business side of things, do you choose to stay “lean” or are you aiming to scale to the 500k + mark at some point? I ask because it seems like you definitely have the experience, equipment and marketing ability to do so. Not knocking everything man, just curious! I will be purchasing the guide when you release it. Keep on killing it 🤟
Hey good question! Right now I enjoy staying lean. I could have scaled if I wanted to. But me being out there is what brings content to you guys as well. I enjoy the work and building it by hand. I’d say probably in the next year or so I’ll have no choice but to scale because I get so many calls
Great video, today's is 12/06/2024, would you make an updated video about how much to invest to start this business ? Let's say what would you do today having up to 5K to invest as a start ? Thank you,
Can you buy a longer high-pressure hose, or do you just have to buy 2 hoses and connect them together? I'm looking for 150-200' but I'm only seeing 100' available.
Thank you so much bro !! Best right to the point ,complete video ive seen yet ..u have a great way of cutting thru the bs ..from what ive seen a lot of companies really try to make "alot" of money off of beginners .im so glad i found ur video because i was on the fence of spending almost 4 digits on one of those courses. I need to learn alot more but this was a great start to my escape from the warehouse dull jobs ive been doing for 20 years..
Worked at a restaurant since my junior year of high school. 8 years later I got offered a job as a pest control worker with a friends dad. After 5 months I got layed off cause of money. Now I’m thinking about going all in and starting my own business this helped a lot. I may go back to nights at my old job to earn money at night while I try to build something. Thank you for the information.
Ok I've got a question. Do you just keep the pressure washer on your truck for the entire job? And if so does the hundreds of feet of hoseline not cause enough of a pressure drop to affect your gpm rate at the nozzle? This is coming from someone who's only used a PW on wheels so the whole truck setup thing is new to me. Thanks
Thank you for being so detailed in describing and breaking down a lot of the big questions I have had while thinking about starting a side hustle/business in this industry. I will be looking back on this video a lot in the future while investing in my equipment.
Walmart also Have the HART stackable tool boxes like the MILWAUKEE for like $25 for the top tray Austin. I have Craftsman but bought 2 Harts last go round.
I use high psi to strip old paint off beat up decks and fences, its very easy to destroy wood and I don't mean lines that need to be sanded out lol, I mean absolutely demolishing boards and needing to replace them (not even with a red tip I was using a rotating circle tip every time).
that rotating tip is called a turbo nozzle, you definitely do not want to use that on anything but concrete or bricks, use a 25 or 40 (to be extra careful) degree tip and stand back to give the wood some distance
Hi Austin I have a question about the soft washing. Is there a specific hose you need for that system, also what about the gun can you use the same one from the pressure washer system or would you recommend 2 different guns? Thanks love the videos btw.
You don’t need a pressure hose for soft washing, get a Flexzilla, half-inch air hose, it’s the most practical. As for gun, you can’t use a pressure washing gun for soft washing for the same reason, no pressure, most people use a regular garden hose gun with an adjustable tip or make their own, there’s several videos on TH-cam on how to do it.
If you’re trying to sell professional course to learn how to pressure wash, you should never advise anybody to buy a 2 1/2 gallon per minute machine
I’d rather them not do that. But at the end of the day, you afford what you can afford. I started with a 2 1/2 gallon machine. That’s the only way I could start. Had I not done that I would not be where I am today.

Great comment, what would you recommend for a long lasting 5-6gal per min machine and is a 100gal tank pairable? thx
Question should I get a ball valve for all the hoses like soft wash and the pressure washer

Austin best information at 35:17!!! I've been in the business for 21 years.
Thank you!
I would've mentioned your thoughts on used equipment and what to look for if going that route.
I’ve spent thousands on courses/coaches for a broad range of information; crazy surprised you’re only charging around that price. U prolly listen to Alex Hormozi cus you actually know how to price/market your product
Definitely will cop the second it releases - appreciate it bro!!
Alex is Great. Also, price gauging sucks
Very informative, even informative to us homeowners who do 1 house a year.
Where do you fill up your water tanks? & can you go a little into detail about that. Thank you
Great informative video! Really appreciate the time you took to share this knowledge with people looking to get started! Many thanks from the UK
Hi Austin, for those of us that live in colder climates, do you recommend a work van instead of an open bed pickup truck? My concern would be the hoses freezing overnight. Also, another concern would be theft protection and protect the equipment from rain & snow.
Thanks so much for the video! Do you by chance know if I need a swivel on both ends of my ball valve? Would that be beneficial to prevent kinking?
The comments section here truly disappoints. All the nonsense about not advising ppl to get anything less than 4gpm. Listen you START WITH WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD. if it’s a small 2.5gpm, go ahead. Get it and get started. Use the money you make and save it for a bigger setup afterwards. Don’t let clowns who pretend to be experts who have never struggled give you advice. Buy what you can just to start then save to upgrade. Your SH mix will do most of the work anyway.
Facts!
@@reedtheinfinite don't get anything less than a 4gpm. You can afford it. 😉
What's a SH mix?
@@thegreat1548by the time you buy everything you need plus a 4gpm machine, you’re in about $1200

HEY AUSTIN, GREAT JOB ON BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS. I KNOW THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO COVER EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRADE BUT CAN YOU ELAVORATE ON HOW YOU PRICE THE JOBS AND WHAT' ARE YOUR DISCILPLINES ON SCHEDULES ?

Great advice. Im a painting contractor looking to make my house washing more efficient. Thanks for the help.
Im buying the course or whatever product u put out related to this business. Thanks for all the content!
If you you use flexilla water hose can you use flexilla pressure line hose as well.
Flexzilla does not make pressure line. Flexzilla is strictly for garden hose. You need a high-pressure line for the pressure washer.
Yes they do sir
5:30, so what about a lower psi electric power washer? I understand gpm is better, but if its low psi and u got the trigger held, wouldnt it be optimal pressure, distance, and spread?
You want at least 2500 PSI. I would go with eletric pressure washers
I’ve been looking at skids for sale. I’m beginning to think there might be more money in building skids than washing. I’m kind of kidding around but wow, the markup is crazy on complete skids. I’m glad I’m mechanically inclined.

Realest in the community, thanks mate
Great detail, TY. So can most jobs be done without a heated pressure washer system?
Amazing video l must say, how
much is required for skid and a truck mm for a beginner

Hey Austin, really appreciate the time you took this video I’m a little better than halfway through at the moment but I noticed that you’re using a 2.1 downstream injector not a 1.8?
Dosent matter which one you use. The difference is insignificant. I’ve always used 2.1
Question. Could you make an adapter and use the trailer plug on your truck to power the hose reels?
I enjoy watching your vids brother, thanks for taking the dedicated time to give all this info. Ill be starting a business myself here this spring and this is giving me plenty of confidence and excitement. Keep up the good work!

It’s a ST-2305
What soft wash pump do you recommend? Don't see it on the list. Thank you.
Great informative video Austin! Especially for the ones coming into the business.

hey Austin, could you please provide the link to the custom skid? It is not in the description. Thanks for the great content!
allcleanpowersystems.com
If you tell them I sent you you will get 5% off
Buy legacy 6k psi hoses and always use a swivel to extend the hose life, spend the few extra bucks and get years of service life , good video 👍
when you apply chemical with a downstream injector, how do you rinse without chemical coming out? Do you shut it off somehow or do you use a different system to rinse?
just starting out in the business and its probably a dumb question but instead of buying a soft wash system could i add 1 or 2 more down stream injectors all going backl to my chemical tank and up my chemical percentage?

Does the program teaches step by step how to wash? And the use of chemical? Thank you.
There are a couple how to wash tutorials in there. However, as of right now, the program is mostly consist of starting the business, getting customers getting found on Google and the wholesales aspect. Because that is what drives revenue. You can easily learn how to wash on TH-cam after a couple videos.however as it starts to warm up, I will be adding a lot of how to wash videos. So in the next 30 to 60 days, there will be a complete how to wash section, but as of right now there are only a couple of washing videos.
You’re a great teacher great review!! Thank you for the tips helps alot 🔥👍🏼
what is the best chemicals to use on concrete driveways with a surface cleaner
Bleach

I’ve done it for years as an added service to my window cleaning, but I’m realizing that you can make some serious figures when doing it more. I’m looking to upgrade my 2.7 Gpm washer. It does fine but takes longer. I was thinking of a direct drive Be’ , or a Simpson 4gpm for (mainly residential) work. I’m doing about one pressure washing job a week with my window cleaning, plus some driveways . What do you think ?
You talk about the grey and yellow hose... what is the blue hose (link) and purpose?
This is a great video. Extremely informative.
what about all the valves, quick connects, hudson float type of stuff, filters, adapters, reducers, etc.? that's my hangup right now.
Hey Austin your content is very helpful. I’m just starting this year full time and your old build videos have helped me make some decisions. I have a question for you on the business side of things, do you choose to stay “lean” or are you aiming to scale to the 500k + mark at some point? I ask because it seems like you definitely have the experience, equipment and marketing ability to do so.
Not knocking everything man, just curious! I will be purchasing the guide when you release it. Keep on killing it 🤟
Hey good question! Right now I enjoy staying lean. I could have scaled if I wanted to. But me being out there is what brings content to you guys as well. I enjoy the work and building it by hand. I’d say probably in the next year or so I’ll have no choice but to scale because I get so many calls
any recommendation for tips for a 2.5gpm machine to reach 2nd story?
Hey Austin, where do you get your softwash hoses from? It’s not just a regular garden hose is it?
Can you use your pressure washing gun for car detailing?
hey you linked the quick connects for the gun but when the link is opened it goes to the male thread, do I choose the female or male thread?
You need the male pieces
how do you feel about buying used equipment for initial start up?
Excellent idea! Do your due diligence to the extreme.
Austin - great start for your video series!
What is the link for the high-pressure hose
Great video, today's is 12/06/2024, would you make an updated video about how much to invest to start this business ? Let's say what would you do today having up to 5K to invest as a start
? Thank you,
What is your recommendation for water buffer tanks for the system?
strong work! where's the soft wash system link?
Can you buy a longer high-pressure hose, or do you just have to buy 2 hoses and connect them together? I'm looking for 150-200' but I'm only seeing 100' available.
Yes you need to buy 2 100 ft sections
the hose reel is for regular and pressure hose?
Thank you you explain everything in layman's terms very very helpful thank you
Thank you so much bro !! Best right to the point ,complete video ive seen yet ..u have a great way of cutting thru the bs ..from what ive seen a lot of companies really try to make "alot" of money off of beginners .im so glad i found ur video because i was on the fence of spending almost 4 digits on one of those courses.
I need to learn alot more but this was a great start to my escape from the warehouse dull jobs ive been doing for 20 years..
Can I use a 24 inch surface cleaner with a under 4000psi power wash or a 2.5.. psi, power washer, pressure?
Thanks for the info and encouragement Austin.
Worked at a restaurant since my junior year of high school. 8 years later I got offered a job as a pest control worker with a friends dad. After 5 months I got layed off cause of money. Now I’m thinking about going all in and starting my own business this helped a lot. I may go back to nights at my old job to earn money at night while I try to build something. Thank you for the information.
Let’s go start the buisness
Hey didn't see the link for the turbo nozzle , can you recommend one for the 4000psi/ 4gmp pressure washer please ... thank you !!

Thank you sir , I'm learning alot from your videos , I'm actually just getting started with my pressure washing business
I'm excited to buy your program, Austin! Hurry up, January :-D
Ok I've got a question. Do you just keep the pressure washer on your truck for the entire job? And if so does the hundreds of feet of hoseline not cause enough of a pressure drop to affect your gpm rate at the nozzle? This is coming from someone who's only used a PW on wheels so the whole truck setup thing is new to me. Thanks
How did you get the ball valve set up like that?
Regarding the coarse. How many hours roughly does it take to complete?
@@northjerseykevin3915 7 hours roughly
Thank you for being so detailed in describing and breaking down a lot of the big questions I have had while thinking about starting a side hustle/business in this industry. I will be looking back on this video a lot in the future while investing in my equipment.
Walmart also Have the HART stackable tool boxes like the MILWAUKEE for like $25 for the top tray Austin. I have Craftsman but bought 2 Harts last go round.
Will the course teach how to do the jobs? As in how to wash a house vs a driveway? Shingles vs metal?
there will be some tutorials. but more will be added as well. its more of how to get jobs. but there will be some beginner wash videos yes
I’m curious to know how you combat theft of your equipment since it’s all exposed and open like that on the back of your truck?
Do u wash year round here in texas or does weather stop u at times?
Sometimes the weather is an issue. But mostly wash all year
I use high psi to strip old paint off beat up decks and fences, its very easy to destroy wood and I don't mean lines that need to be sanded out lol, I mean absolutely demolishing boards and needing to replace them (not even with a red tip I was using a rotating circle tip every time).
that rotating tip is called a turbo nozzle, you definitely do not want to use that on anything but concrete or bricks, use a 25 or 40 (to be extra careful) degree tip and stand back to give the wood some distance
Hey, what softwash hose would you recommend?
Hi Austin I have a question about the soft washing. Is there a specific hose you need for that system, also what about the gun can you use the same one from the pressure washer system or would you recommend 2 different guns? Thanks love the videos btw.
You don’t need a pressure hose for soft washing, get a Flexzilla, half-inch air hose, it’s the most practical. As for gun, you can’t use a pressure washing gun for soft washing for the same reason, no pressure, most people use a regular garden hose gun with an adjustable tip or make their own, there’s several videos on TH-cam on how to do it.
Should someone form a LLC before or just start doing side jobs until this can replace the 9-5 job?
