"Outgrow your equipment..."
That is a great solid advice i wished I knew 8 years ago when I ventured out to become an independent self employed auto, industrial mechanic.
Now I would say I am content and happy with what I have been able to achieve so far. Looking at the over 80k+ of equipment, tools, supplies excluding what hauls all that I need around to do my job; I wished I first outgrew my tools and equipment before buying the much bigger more expensive stuff.
When I first started there were things I bought that was not necessary that I could have used the money and resources to grow my business faster.
For a few of such equipment I bought I did not first have the need to use years after I started.
Leaving those unused years with brands of the equipment coming with better models and technological advances in the tools that when the time came that I finally needed to use such equipment; I would have bought a newer and much better latest model than the old one I bought and barely going to start using.
I am not in the pressure washing business as you are but your self employment talk is made for those whose ears are fixed on success.
I hope you more prosperty with your business and shall we all grow old, fat, bald, and loved like Benjamin Franklin on the 100 dollar bill. Who doesn't love a successful guy like him?
Hey does your course cover how to actually pressure wash I.e techniques etc ?
Lol who has to take a class on pressure washing. Your dad should’ve thought you that unless he was dead
Where’s the van cleaning webinar?
Hardest part is just constantly being under all that... pressure...
I'll show myself out
This is the dad pun police this joke was too intense
😂🤣💯💪🏼
Guess you just started feeling too much pressure
thats life itself..no pressure
The power behind that joke
As someone who did pressure washing for 3 years for one of my ex employers as a maintenance person. Theres nothing better than listening to music blasting water.
I just started my career as an Electrical Engineer but worked construction for 10 years(started at 17) & see this as my first potential side business! I hope it really goes well so I can begin taking care of my family the way I've always imagined🙌🏼🙏🏼
Bro your an electrical engineer, you should be set with that pay 😂
@@lilreedofficial8994 that part
How’s it been going?
yo im 16 right now and finishing up my last couple months of school next year starting power engineering at university and im going to start a pressure washing business over the summer to stack up some extra money
Electrical engineer and you went to Construction and now a pressure washing business? What's next a sidewalk sweeper? I think your main issue is not sticking to things long enough before you downgrade. Good luck
Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well th-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.
I own my own moving business in Colorado Springs and I'm on pretty much every job. The "hard work" part and "wearing every hat" is not even a question for me. I just bought a pressure washer and I'm starting a power washing business so I love your videos and appreciate them greatly.
Hows the business goin so far ?

@@calihits8684 not that good because it's winter.
As a concrete finisher, and business owner…. This is a piece of cake
Here for this reason having a kid need to survive to theyre kids
@DJ LawLess stay busy brotha
I’m also a finisher I do commercial concrete and we pour around 200-600 yards a day, I’d like to have my own business one day but I’m only 24 and have a lot of learning left to do before I take that step
@@stanhargrove4753 hey whats up Stanley, that’s great man you should definitely start doing residential jobs because they pay faster. I’m 21 but I started concrete at the age of 13, I would help out my dad on weekends to pour concrete. If you know how to finish concrete that’s great, learn to read blueprints and you’ll be golden 🙌🏽
Work smart not hard
Hustle. I use to do pressure washing with my former brother-in-law who fired me because he and my sister was getting a divorce (cheating Bastard). He owed me some money and couldn’t pay so he gave me a pressure washer and a beat up trailer as payment. This is my first year doing this on my own and i can’t wait to get your coarse and start learning from a real professional. Thanks so glad i found your channel
How much did he owe you
Haven’t even watched it yet, but i can only imagine the pressure of it all

(Falling out of chair?)
i did a floridans drive way for free. they are huge as heck. but not hard at all. the round thing he uses to pressure wash the drive way, it only gots forwar and backward not sideways. that’s the hardest part
Love your videos. Hating my job and working check to check right now, but can't wait to purchase your kit and get started on my own PW business. Thanks for posting your vids.
How’s your business going brother?
@@dominantintrovert8138 Not so well. Seems like every effort I take or do I just keep ramming my head into a wall. Plus with having to work a fulltime job, I have very little to no time to even work on my business to do marketing.
I have been in heavey construction for 20 yrs now and I do this on the side. It's started by chance. I was gifted an old 4gpm P, washer and used it around the house, friends needed work done and I just started youtubeing. Watched this guy and now I make an extra 10 to 15k a year.
I build my own washers now. Lots of fun, it is hard work but not as hard as commercial concrete.
Great to see a video about the reality of the situation, instead of just a budget dream.
Just started my painting business. As a painter, sometimes you have to pressure wash an exterior, so I bought a mi-t-m rig. I hope to get more pressure wash jobs.
I used to paint, not under my own business but I just bought all of my stuff to start power washin. I hope it’s been going well for you man
@@zachcampbell8024 thanks bro. Same to you.
@@bsojdfo how is the business going im trying to start a painting company with my cousin but not sure how the market is right now?
@@blisslimoservice1732 it’s pretty busy for me in northeast Louisiana. Just wrapped up 3 big jobs.
@@bsojdfo How realistic is that you will make money in this business if say ai dont have experience in it I wont be painting but my cousin does paint and I will hire other people that know how ro do it..I will just be trying to get contracts?
Getting customers is what Im good at. 6 years as a lawn tech and sold like a madman. I just need to learn this
how you get customers?
Wish you were in Ct lol. I can do the work, getting the customers is my weakness.
@@TheGeenat same here
As a person who lives in Michigan as it gets colder we move it closer and closer to living room as I like to say. By that I mean cleaning the garage floor, all door’s and windows including the big garage door and then doing stain removal in house during the winter
What to do in the Snow Season in Northern Markets:
1) Snow removal on driveways and sidewalks. Most snow removal contracts in WNY are seasonal monthly contracts where a flat fee to remain on call is required followed by a bill for snow removal on the days it does snow enough to require a snow plow or snow blower to remove snow.
2) Christmas decorations removal, this is a a new one that started popping up but Christmas decorations are often not removed in cold and snowy markets due to the fact that nobody wants to do the job in the middle of January and now there are people offering to take down Christmas lights and other decorations for around hundred dollars per hour.
3) Commercial Parking Lot salting, this goes along with snow removal but not all snow removable services includes salting the parking lots and sidewalks and it can be offered as an up charge. Rock salt used for road and highway usage is generally inexpensive when bought in bulk and its not uncommon for the service to sell well over a $1000 per salting and its an easy way to rapidly gain income but it also requires more equipment to get started, usually a pickup truck with a salt spreader and enough salt to cover the area needed to be salted and equipment to fill the salt spreader like a Bobcat or front loader.
I took a leap of faith and started a jetwashing company and I havnt looked back since. We started out with a cheap petrol karcher washer off facebook under 6 months we've already upgraded to 3200 psi machine and made many business relationships and its safe to say that we have a return clientel
Great work George! Congratulations
Hey George, Is it possible I can contact you for questions?
@@StLouisVsErbody ofcourse you can mate 👍
Looking to buy a pressure washing business and this video helped me understand the basics of what the business side might look like! Thank you!
Hustle 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 I’m just now wanting to start my small pressure washing business & to be honest I just need to pull the trigger !
Hardest part for me starting a pressure washing business is my current 9-5. Have trailer, 4000 psi 4 gpm washer, surfacer, hose, and an employer who seems to know how to screw up my schedule and not let me do anything else.
I work for someone this summer and it’s not rocket science, pretty simple job hands on tho, if my boss would of been responsible his business would be so big, yet he been doing it for 3 years and still only him, he seem burn out I used to wake him up everyday to go to jobs, sometimes I used to just take the rig on my own, it was stressful seen so much potential and someone no care for it any longer.
How old is your boss
@@kevinvargas2266 boss man is only 33
@@MarcosMartinez-uw7ws got a year experience under my belt now lol same thing not rocket science just elbow grease, somewhat therapeutic lol
Love your channel bro. You should talk about finances and how you manage all that!
there’s something different about working for yourself. This is pretty hard work, however I find the actual cleaning part satisfying as fuck, and I literally can’t stop looking at what i just cleaned after the jobs done 😂 I would’ve thought these transformations would take wayyyy more work but seriously it’s not that fuckin bad.
Best of luck to all my fellow Pressure Wash Kings & Queens! Let get to work!!
100% when you know that’s your work it’s great bro
Something you could do to get customers is go door to door DOORHANDLE flyers on people house you can clearly see need some pressure washing
First timer for your videos - great content.
Welcome to the channel. Thanks for stopping by!
And WOW! The links. You have given us so much value from one TH-cam video. Greatful.
Thanks for this information. I’ve been in lawn mowing for 8 years now. Just adding this on and this was helpful.
It’s all about marketing and getting customers. House washing and sidewalk cleaning can be added to your business model. Friend of mine has been doing this for three years and earns or grosses $100k annually .
this is s great starter business if you are self motivated and tired of working for other people
tou do need the self discipline to get up early and get to the job asap. I'm not s morning person but I'm s worker and I'm about my business morals. set boundries And lines that you wont cross. dont miss appointments. sell yourself to your customers. be nice but be confident up front and direct. people like sm honest take charge get it done right type of person. hustle people eith your personality. dont let your guys stand around or run late. treat them good especially in front of customers dont argue with ur guy's. talk to them later for pull aside for a second and get on same page real quick. be about your business. people respect thst.
this is the start of the come up
Thanks. I’ve done this for others and want to do it for myself now.
Hardest thing labor wise is holding that button down to spray water and maybe the walking but the hardest part would be the business management it is hard to be on a job when u have to bid other jobs keep up the good work and stay motivated
Trigger finger! I think if the equipment at hand allows I'd fasten a zip tie around the handle loose enough to slide back and forth but enough to hold the trigger in. That or a small cut down belt.
I'm finding interest in this business. I'll be spending some time watching more videos on pressure washing. I feel this is something I can do as far as having my own business.
I am 14 me and my friend are starting a pressure washing service I'm now in the stage of I need to start advertising more but following your advice on my first customers really helped me secure new jobs in the future
Update?
Hell yeah get it buddy! I’m glad to hear kids are still hustlin! Gives me hope for the future. Good luck out there! Stay hungry and don’t give up when things get difficult.
Updates??
@@brownmark8988 I still have all the stuff but I'm holding off till I get my license cause I can't do much withought it
@@AviationAngler what can u do and can’t do without the license?
I would say the most difficult thing for me personally Out side of marketing is medical and dental insurance for my family before I quit my job
Maybe try it out on the weekends to see if its for you so you can keep the insurance from your dayjob
Do not quit your job. Work after work and Saturdays.
The whole point is to grow your business.
The hardest part about starting any service business is getting a starting customer base, I'm an HVAC guy and that's the hardest part is getting your name out there so the people with work can find you instead of the big company with a bottomless advertising budget, that and making sure your boss doesn't catch wind of your side hustle.
2 years in This is spot on. New Jersey, #Hustle
I'd imagine you need a shit ton of customers because if the job is done right, you shouldn't have to visit the customer for atleast 6 months. It's not like grass cutting. Grass can grow long in as little as 1 week here in GA
You dont know pressure washing until you have cleaned commercial kitchen exhaust hoods.
Pretty scared not gonna lie. Travel for a living and I'm done with that. So I gotta jump into business full steam ahead. No leads no income new area. It's gonna be a ride.
How’s it going 2 months later?
Co-ask... Howzit going Cody? Update
Hey man.. any luck?
A lot of questions that I had about this business were answered in this video. Great Information shared in this video
You don't do pressure washing before 9am, the machine will wakeup the neighbourhood
Always remember it's better than loading boxes up to 100lbs for 12 hour days in 120 degree heat box lol
Up north you can use a steamer pressure washer for ice dam removal. Just turn the pressure down.
Would anyone suggest working for a pressure washing company first?
Obtaining the basic skills on how to quote, how to operate the equipment, how to avoid mistakes and damage that are completely preventable, what chemicals to use, what to look out and listen for; both positive and negative. What do you think Justin?
Trust me i worked for a company and hated it. Hard work and shit pay didnt cut it for me. You can pretty much learn on the internet. I have a background in construction and boy let me tell you pressure washing is a breeze compared to the shit i did haha. Work for your self. You will be surprised how much you will make within the first month if you are persistent and dedicated to the hustle.
@@losidude11 thanks for the reply. I have no skills and I'm actually terrible when it comes to hand jobs. But I'm at a point where I have to do something to make income. appreciate the advice
I'll tell ya what you can do in snow. There's basically 3 that will probably become your go to when the snow falls
1 removal
It fallspeople don't wanna play in it so you can get paid moving it. Sidewalk, driveway, ROOFS, ect.
2 deice
Nothing people love more than a good ass wiper. Although it's never fun and will hurt when it happens to you so... You can double up on your snow removal by offering deicer a long side it.
3 Wait for more snow to fall
This is the point you catch up on sleep, nake repairs, get new customers and be as prepared as possible for the next snow fall because when it hits you might push 3 days straight before it stops falling. Winter time mother nature gives you breaks you can't afford to take them
its interesting how 250 bucks is considered just "pretty good money" for just pulling weed where as in India 50-60 dollars would be considered a lot of money
In my case, customers would be the easy part. I've been thinking about starting my own pressure washing business
Thank you man. This is just the video I've been looking for before possibly jumping in. Appreciate you
You definitely have to learn how to do everything, from loading your truck, to basically being a CEO
I subscribed. I love your business attitude I need to adopt it
Snow removal and de-icing
He totally sprayed the curtain inside the window at 7:32 🤣
Aside from that, you spit some real game here bro!
Very helpful man I appreciate you giving out game you a real one boss
Just bought my equipment. I already have the LLC. I just dont have the customers. I'm excited to do the first job but, I dont even know what to charge. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Just getting started .......imo hardest part is GETTING FIRST JOB,DOING FIRST JOB.
that side window was open lol the blinds were blowing around
great advice. thanks for being transparent
Got a question ab the initial grind to build those customers, how does it make sense to have a year booked of customers that are really gonna wait that year to get the job done? I wouldn’t think starting off people are gonna wanna wait 6 months or longer for you to come to the job you talked to em ab otp or at their door ab months prior
Great upload!!!!
If anyone knows I'm sorry what's the name of the disc shape machine?
Does it scrub is it necessary early in the business?
I was thinking of small jobs first like sidewalks and porches an patios.
I'm getting close to buying my equipment. thanks in advance
It's a surface cleaner, basically has a jet on each end of a tube inside that spins, essentially the lawn mower of driveway cleaning lol definitely worth getting for all the time and work it'll save you
Long story for a simple question here:
I'm retired, bored, and looking to make extra cash and stay active. That's my only motivation for doing handyman/pressure washing jobs. I rely on my 51 years on this earth as handyman experience and I bought an electric pressure washer to add to my tool belt.
Now my question is..for an average Joe like me, how much do I charge to pressure wash that is both fair to me and the customer? I was thinking 25 and hour, and I pay for all cleaning supplies. Thoughts?
Edit: I already have experience with the washer, so I do the jobs right the first time. I know inexperience pays less.
Awesome video yet again. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, list your setup, etc us noobs appreciate you!!
Most guys i know who are super successful as pressure washers are high end painters. Im on the east coast up on the north side but the dude has entire box trucks dedicated to pressure washing. Lets say he might have two guys doing just pressure washing for decks, siding, and concrete(possibly not sure). Then has guys go in after its dry to do the work. Company's called Spectrum Spray and Brush in NJ.
Thanks for the great video, informative evenly paced and entertaining!
hope you reach 100k subs:)
Thanks Eclipse!
Man I just did my first job and this helps a lot, thanks for tha vid
How was it??
Can't do anything with water in cold weather. I'd stick to what you said 1st which is don't quit or day job. If your up north you can't pressure wash anything in the winter for various reasons. That's not gospel just my experience
Another tip for new pressure washers is close the damn windows instead of blasting water through them
7:25
Living in Texas, should I wait until beginning of next year to start this? Obviously doesn’t get terribly cold here, but curious how slow business is during the “winter” months
I think it ends up being what youre able/willing to put up with for conditions. Were in the Midwest and are washing days in the 40s. Keep a couple cans of pump saver on hand and blow out your hoses if it looks like it'll get cold enough to freeze up. Go get em
Try it out n see
Nah, things are starting up slow, start early so in main season you’re swinging at full force.
I never stop here in South Texas just wear thick jackets if it kind of cold
Did you ever get going? I'm thinking of moving to Texas to start this
Snowplowing in winter
Great video mate thank you from the UK
Thanks for watching Jake!
Do you need a water tank or is it okay to use the client's water
Following lmk aswell man
Just started mine.. hope I can do well
We in a major drought right now so I start when I can
Lmfao
Bro I did this before it is fun and simple.
Make a video conecting the hose and everything step by step.
great advice. one thing though. the curtain moved when you sprayed the window 7:30 , that cant be good?
I bro been stuck on what to do either pressure washing or car detailing…..I think ima go with pressure washing
There is nothing hard about pressure washing 🤦🏼♂️it’s not hard work at all it’s easy money
Looks easy
It's super easy. He's putting it on thick..
It’s time consuming when you first start out and don’t have all the equipment that can make it fast, but he’s overreacting because the more he says the longer he can make the video.
There’s nothing hard about it but getting customers, now that’s hard
@@doriwalker3202within my first month I stopped chasing residential work outside of lead services, and almost all my clients are women over 70 whose husbands already bought and destroyed a pressure washer that year. People don’t want to spend money on a pro when they think they have a “cheaper” option. Commercial clients are happy to get a business card from you. They know a clean sidewalk and store front will more than cover the cost of a 4 figure cleaning job in the long run and if you can be professional and make it easy for them to say “yes” they don’t put up a fight. Not to mention one commercial job will trump 2 weeks of residential work if you price accordingly.
Great video!
Where you at with that watch dog security sign in the yard?
As Usual Great Video J. Thx For The Insights!!!!
HUSTLE HARD BABY!!
For the northern guys. Learn how to operate a salt and plow truck and add light recovery!
So you got to bring your own water on any job small or large?#hustle
To easy of a business to need a course.
Is it typical to use the customers water source or do you typically use a tank?
Thanks!
I found this out it is hard work everything you stated hustle
Husle Hard been In this Grind for 6 Months hard work
Great content! You can start with very very little. We had a humble beginning in 2015 lol
Hustle ! Thanks for an awesome video !
Great video looking forward to the next vid
Thanks Duey!
outsource all accounting. you can make back that cost in a few jobs.
Looks pretty easy to me. I don’t mind the heat. Cutting grass in the south will prep you for the elements. If I can make an extra 600 a month off it I’m good
oome on bro did it for a summer, an maybe it was cause i was in my early twentites, but it wasnt hard work at all lol. being the boss may be hard, but doing the work is one of the easiest things that ive ever done!
some advice for ya though, get a trailer possibly, wit 1 or 2 water buffalos on it, an go hit up some fleets! like large semi companies, ups, fed ex, water companies, etc... that was a huge part of our job an i think we charged somethin like 70 bucks a semi. maybe it was like 35 though, i dont remember, this was 10 years ago. we got like 8 bucks per vehicle, an we made bank working nights, which is the most productive time to do things like that. same with gas stations!!!! huge possibilites if you can land some gas station contracts! again though, thats a night job,. youd piss alot of ppl off with tryin to pull it off in the day
The hardest part is finding people go have concrete or brick driveways.
Go to the suburbs
@@StLouisVsErbody I’m not driving 2 hours away on the highway everyday.
