Hello you Lovely people! I Was very fortunate to transform this lady’s home.. If you could hit that subscribe button It helps me bring more cleans like this to the channel and my community. Currently 5% of the viewers have subscribed meaning a whopping 95% haven't..
Would recommend to add a large water vacuum to the equipment. Very useful to remove dirt and debris and for me often saves time. Especially useful if you wash porous materials or you have bad drainage.
The stones look incredible beautiful! Now the lady can enjoy them again and I hope she will.
You did an amazing job! 👍🏻
Not only on the cleaning!
Im sure the 'lost' money didn't put as much weight on the ladies shoulders as the scam, that happened to her. You showed her that there is another way and gave her strength back.
Great!
And yes, more please!
What you should tell ALL elderly people you come into contact with is for them to have a "No Cold Callers" sign on the front door also another sign saying "Smile for the Camera" helps a lot to deter cowboys and to make them think twice before knocking
Well this made me double check. I thought I had hit the subscribe button before but sure enough I hadn’t! My apologies. Got it done now.
Well... Im upset you didnt use a bit of painters drop plastic at the base of the house mate... Honestly? I would call you a dunce and smack the back of your head for putting that onto the stucco. Because now, if you do something as foolish as use that pressure washer on the house to rinse what youve put on it.. you may as well have to restore the area. Its quite easy to do a good job on the surface.. but.. the lack of forethought on protecting the stucco.. really makes me think your an incompassionate or thoughtless child.
A trick I'm trying to use with my aging parents is for them to tell the salespeople that shows up, that they're not the owners and their son will call them back. This gives us time to discuss if its needed, if it's legit or if it's not in our budget.
So many vultures out there trying to swindle us
Thank you for helping out that old lady
Great advice!
Superb idea! I’ll post this in our elder groups.
Yep ! I told mine to say they don't own house and will talk to the landlord !! That way they will not expect the tenant to pay for repairs, tree surgery etc.
That's so smart! Also your parents are very lucky to have you. If they don't have any children or family, hopefully they have a trusted neighbor or someone else who can vett people for them.
Every time I've had random house painters show up to my door trying to get me to buy a service, I just tell them I'm a renter. Works every time.
I look out for my neighbours every time we have cold callers in our area, I follow them around and make sure the neighbors are ok. We had a very elderly lady opposite us, sadly no longer with us and a salesman was trying to sell her double glazing, she was about to give in when I told him where to go, she was 89 at the time and the windows were fine. Good on you man, for not only giving the lady the job she deserved but for taking time to have a chat.
Yes really appreciate the comments, it’s so horrible for the elderly and vulnerable when it comes to cold calling
That is great you do and there are people out there willing to help strangers for free.
Heroes!
The lady must have been glowing after. Its really nice paving.
I used to clean schools and the satisfaction after was immense. I even used to laugh when I remembered being at school totally oblivious to cleaners as I make loads of mess. Clean is amazing and no mistake.
Seeing that you had tea breaks with her and chatted warms my heart. Yes you did her patio, but what will stick her even more is the care and kindness you gave her. It's not about the patio, but the connection you made while doing the patio 💕 keep being an amazing human being
So very true.
45 minutes?! That poor woman.
I'm surprised and impressed she lasted for that long, but it's unfortunate she gave in after all.
Glad you were able to help her out ♥ I hope those scammers get what's coming to them.
I would have called the police and told them to get these scammers off my property and to stop harassing me.
They probably spent more time trying to convince her than actually doing the job.
Wait wait wait…you’re telling us that the young lady at 2:00 is 93 y/o? That’s even more amazing than the end results of the washing, and that was fabulous. Good on you Mate for restoring her faith in people!
Incredible isn’t it
Yeah goodness I'm not exaggerating when I say she looks 30 years younger easily.
Yeah, lol, she looked like she could've been in her seventies didn't she?
She is speeding, going much faster than I do :O, should be illegal
You know she aint young what u on
Whoever laid the stone did a masterful job. You brought it back to it's glory. Great job and Bless You for your kindness to this lady.
You just know that every time she walks out the door it surprises her with immense joy all over again. And then she has very fond memories of the young man who brought the hidden beauty back to her. Being one of the elderly she probably says a prayer of joy and blessing on this man and his precious family. That joy factor alone is priceless.
No, a “masterful” job would a patio that drains properly. While he was cleaning it, the water just pooled up. The stonework installation should have included slopes and drains.
@@johnyoung9649 took the words outta my mouth man. looks good, but its gotta drain
You are joking , right?
That’s a terrible patio job, grout lines as big as some stones.
I bet it was her late husband that did the stone work around the house. It was probably his own project that took a couple of years and he did it exactly as he wanted it done.
She’s mourning and struggling right now. Seeing this bright patio and drive will really help her to lift her spirits. Thank you!!
compared to constantly being reminded how she got screwed over by some assholes, its an especially positive outcome.
Its not just a positive, but also takes away the negative (so like a double profit in positivity)
It's revolting that people are so willing to take advantage of the elderly. Thank you for doing what you do. Please keep it up!! 💜💜💜
Personally I think we all have the moral obligation to look out for the elderly who live among us and are often in need of assistance like this, particularly in locating trustworthy, quality tradies when needed. Thank you for lifting her heart so much, both by you’re detailed and skilled work, but also as much by your work ethics and sensitivity to her. Personally I love that you took tea breaks with her. The company was probably the highlight of her week. You’re just an awesome young man in every way and that makes the old dad in me very proud of you.
And your boys are just too adorable! If they ever need an extra Grandpa, I’m available in Texas. Or I could happily make another trip back to Aus.
it is sad what we do to our elders in the west.
among us
1) I completely agree with you. It was really heartwarming seeing how they helped her.
2) *among us*
Absolutely. We are all going to get old one day and have to teach younger people how to do it.
I am the elderly in the neighborhood…and over here this called” elder abuse” I hope you got photos for her family to use to go after the other gents to report their services on social media and with agencies of the government!!! This stuff targets the loving elderly populations without shame!!! ❤️👵🏼thanks for being a light of hope to her that society still has people of character!!
We had some scam clown round a couple of days ago. Bogus ID, bogus 'scheme' to help the out of work/prison. Selling 'household goods'. I said No, but within ten minutes heard him inside an elderly neighbours house. Wormed his way in. I could hear him going on about 'covid' because her window was open. While I was on the phone to the Police, he shut her window. Sometimes these are 'fronts' casing homes for burglaries. I gave up waiting for the Police to answer. He moved on. I'm very new in the close so I don't know anyone. I'll knock tomorrow and see what happened to her.
100% agree
It's not legally elder abuse here in the US, but their reputation can easily be damaged and they won't get more business. Poor little old folks don't have money to run a background check
I doubt they even have an actual business to damage. It's probably just two clowns that bought a cheap pressure washer and started wandering around trying to get people to pay them to pressure wash.
The term gentleman isn't appropriate here !
Absolutely love the paving style. I’m usually not a fan of crazy paving but the different colours and materials used gives it a really gorgeous look. Your boys are adorable and growing so fast. What a great dad you are; so lovely to see.
I love the unique use of colored pavers! Beautiful!
Who would have thought there was such a colourful pattern underneath all that grime. Whoever created it put a lot of care and love into it and you have brought that love back. Think it might be my favourite one yet.
This has to be the most dramatic pressure washing transformation I've seen. I've seen jobs that started out looking worse than this one did, but they never get a finished result like this. There is normally a lot of speckling and staining on jobs that start out that bad that just don't come out no matter what you do. This came out looking almost flawless.
I think It's because of the colours hiding underneath, the stone work was Just stunning, thanks for watching
I AM one of the elderly neighbors and I certainly pray that someone like you can be found for each of the repairs that need to be done to my home! Your integrity and skills make my heart smile. This turned out so beautifully and was a wonderful gift to this homeowner!
You’ve not only made it look better, but safer for her to walk out there when it’s wet ❤❤
That’s one of the coolest driveways ever. So glad you were able to help her out the proper way. I’m sure she was so happy to see it restored back to its original glory.
You can tell by the colors of the pavers/bricks used in the walkway/driveway that this was a labor of love by whomever laid it down, something that the previous cleaners would never understand whether because of greed or apathy.
This is another great example as to why you should *NEVER* pay upfront for any job regardless of how small or big it is. The people that did it before hand should loose their business for being blatantly lazy and neglectful with their work. Shameful. Props to you for doing a fantastic job though.
"Im ganna let the work do the talking" Love that line, shows the character and experience of a true professional and a man that knows the value of job well done.
They weren't a real business, nothing for them to lose
I’d argue if you’re paying some kind of artist, like a baker/chef or traditional artist, assuming they have a portfolio/reputation you should absolutely be fine with paying partially up front. But hard labor like this where theres a right/wrong way to do things? Nah
Part up front, part after is the best compromise usually because it protects both customers and workers from losing too much to potential scammers on either side.
Depends what she paid for. There is a place for a full-day cleaning job (ie full restoration as shown in the video) as well as 1 hour quick cleaning job (clean surface grime).
It may have been both - they swindled her or she simply misunderstood that the $100 job will not look like the one shown in the video.
lose*
I live in the US, I am not sure how I came about your channel but I love what you do for your community and the quality of your work! Heart warming reminder that their are good people in todays troubling world. Keep up the great work. Thank you for all you do
I joined your channel after this, Ben. Just catching up. This one is dear to my heart, my late Mum was talked into so many things from cold callers and charity door to door salespeople. She paid way too much cash for a tree to be chopped down. They told her it was diseased, there was nothing wrong with it. I stopped three direct debits going through from charities. She had dementia, it would have been obvious she didn’t know what she was signing up for, yet they did it anyway. It upset her as she knew she’d done something ‘wrong’ but didn’t know what 😢 She came to live with me for the last five years of her life, she was comfortable, happy and protected. Best decision I ever made. Proud to be a channel member, thanks for helping vulnerable clients 👏🏼👏🏼 (How cute were Theo and Arthur at the end!) 😊
Aww RJ it’s horrible being pressure on the door, it’s so cruel to take advantage.
I’ve just filmed one of 2 people being threatened by door knockers so you aree going to love that one!
Your Mam did absolutely nothing wrong my man. The snake oil salesmen were 100% in the wrong. Your Mam sounds like her only flaw was being too trusting and those people took advantage of that and her niceness. Thankfully she had you there to look after her, I have to intervene a bit with my own mam sometimes as she trusts people to much and gets stung, thankfully now she rings me everytime she's not sure of something and I just say to her, if you aren't sure then just say no 🤷....... Peace and blessing from Wales my man 👍🏴
I am furious that she like my parents and my grandparents before them are the target market for scammers. I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for them.
Yes! Our parents protected us when we were young. So it goes full circle. We must be there to help in their older years. So many dishonest sales people take advantage.
I know how she feels, as a single female home owner, I get paralysed when it comes to hiring anyone to do work on my house because there are so many unscrupulous people who will take your money and do shoddy work. Thank you for helping her.
Ugh, I feel that... recently dealt with a shitty flooring job that significantly delayed my move and needed a partial do-over. DIY would have taken just as long and about same quality, but at least I would have wasted less money!!!
My mom is 85 and has been on her own for 24 years. She hired a guy, a friend of a friend, to re-surface her driveway and to get rid of the weeds and a few cracks. When the guy comes to do the work, and I made sure I was there in the house and watching him, he was 400+ pounds! Okay, I’m not fat shaming, because I am a little bit fat too. But when I checked on him he was lying down flat on the driveway and spreading some black goo with a paintbrush. After about four hours he asked her for $600! She paid him. A year later it looked like it looked before the six hundred dollar ripoff.
What’s worse is she could have thought she was safe to walk out on her patio without being careful and she could have slipped and had a nasty fall😵💫 thank you for getting that cleaned up for her!!!♥️
I know I'm a year late to the party on this one, but I just wanted to say I love your work ethic and attitude! And I love what you do for the more vulnerable members of our society. Speaks great volumes to your personality and the type of person you are. And I have to give credit to your parents for obviously raising you right.
As for this job. What the previous person/people did is shameful, and that sort of thing is a huge reason why I absolutely _refuse_ to pay for a job up-front. I don't mind paying out up to half - especially if there are material costs to consider before the job can even begin. But once you've given them the cost for the whole job, there's really no incentive for them to actually do a _good_ job ... or even do it at all. They've already got what they wanted - the money. I don't care how big their company is, how many employees they've got, how good they _think_ their reputation is or what kind of other assurances they try to give me (all excuses I've heard in attempts to get me to pay up-front for entire jobs) - I'm no fool or easily-tricked person and I won't be scammed like that. Not when my finances are so damned tight month-to-month. I simply can't afford to take the risk.
You will never regret every minute you spend making your boys laugh and time with them!
Great job on the power washing!
I am in love with her paving. It looks like its just a jumbled mess of leftover bits, but it comes together beautifully. You did a wonderful thing making it right for her and it looks amazing!
Me too.
I love crazy paving
it truely is a work of art.
Likely done by her husband, years before he passed ...
Mosiac mess paving is always a treasure
What a blessing you are! I am 71, on SSI, dealing with cancer, lupus, fybromyalgia, sciatica, asthma, bradicardia and other maladys. I hired people in to mow and weedeat my yard, they bid the job, didn't finish and when they came back told me that they underbid the job and needed more money to complete the job! I sent them on their merry way and now I just do my yard myself. It's not a big yard, but takes me anywhere from 2+ hours to 6 hours (if weeding also) and my medical issues can get in the way, but I soldier on! I don't know how these eople live with themselves, after doing such shoddy work!!! I just pray for them . . .
That is impressive! You're so strong for doing that yourself!
Wish I was your neighbour Debi, I'd do that for free in a heartbeat, some people have no morals and it's disgusting to see.
@@NeroZenith Bless you and I, too wish you were my neighbor. I just had a terrible auto accident on 9/20. Got hit and spun and the other driver slammed into my driver side door, so now I have a cracked rib and a slight concussion as my head broke glass and door buckled in on me. They veered into my lane and ran the side of my car, up to drivers door and hit me hard. They were going way to fast, I'm assuming, so now I have even more bruises showing up and not able to do anything at all right now! Car is totaled as not only was the frame bent, it was also twisted. Just sick about it as my son gave me that car. Caught a nasty cold at the ER (16 days sick) and just now feeling like myself, except for the rib and headaches! Masks are mandatory here in the clinics and hospitals and I just proved they don't keep you from getting other people's viruses & thank God for seat belts!!! 😂😇
@@SofSof. TY! I know I have to keep moving, but sometimes it's very difficult! ♥
I commiserate with Mary! It’s hard to have strangers around your home and then being shady on top of it!! Good for you looking out for us oldsters. My favorite part of your channel is visiting your wife and kids at the end!! Those little boys are just too cute!!!! Sending much love from Ohio!!!!❤
This is a really beautiful property she has. It has a great deal of character, has a natural feel with all of those plants while those cobbled walkways ensure that it still looks clean. I’d love to live somewhere that looks like this.
I absolutely love what was revealed when you cleaned her patio and driveway area. The stonework is amazing. You completely transformed her place looks so amazing
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed the clean as much as I did
It's nice to be able to see the handiwork of whoever laid them.
As a senior citizen in the US, I so appreciate the service you are providing and your reminders for how to work with service providers like yourself to keep from being taken advantage of. And I absolutely loved the end of the video ... your boys are absolutely adorable and the little one's laugh is as delightful as it is infectious. Brought a huge smile to my face!!!!!!!! Thank you for that.
Nothing more precious than a little ones laugh, brought a smile to my dial.💚💚💚
I live in southeastern New Mexico, US. Most of the cowboys here are genuinely nice people. Too bad someone took advantage of this lady. You are the kind that restores faith.
In Britain “Cowboy” means something different. It’s a name given to scammers and conmen.
Good job. I'm 81 and I fully understand what the lady had to go through. Never pay upfront, especially when you don't have any knowledge of the people offering the service. As I say, great job. Keep up the good work.
I'm only 75 & I paid $205 upfront because I knew the person who only days AFTER TAKING THE MONEY told me that he couldn't start weeding for two weeks but he'd have it done by the time I returned from NC . I was gone for 9 days and he was supposed to weed whack 2 inch high weeds to dirt while I was gone putting in one hour a day WEED WHACKING for nine days. I'd additionally given this "friend" $90 on top of the $205 to open 4 cans of cat food daily for my 4 cats in my absence ( he's less than HALF a block away from me ) every day. After two weeks the 2" weeds were 3 inches high. Very few portions of the back yard had weeds ( MOST OF THE BACK is covered in pavers) but upon my return NOTHING AT ALL had been done. He said his visiting daughter was epileptic and he had to watch her but he'd do it before he went on vacation to Morocco and Korea but he had to prepare for his trip and pack months went by. His daughter had long returned to Morocco months ago ( she only visited him in the States ) during her visit I weeded by hand because WEEDS DON'T STOP GROWING and they were 6 to 8i inches when I did them. This gave him a healthy headstart and I sent him pictures of how much of his work I'd done for him and still he kept ducking me. Excuse after excuse. long & SHORT it's almost a full year and he's never lifted a finger - rather than being honorable, he's telling our mutual friends that I told him not to do anything, like on a fixed income with property taxes so high they eat a third of my Social Security check so I have to sell and relocate after living here almost 54yrs. since I was 22. Serious lack of morals is an understatement. Not only was this a con but he's lying about it now- icing on the 🎂 cake. I had the backyard down to dirt the fall before but the guy died and the landscaping fabric never got installed. After the winter in March? April ? as soon as I saw the first bit of green emerging I showed him the yard and he said $22/hour to whack it to dirt was good, off the books. He'd do it as a 'favor' for me. UNIVERSE, YOU HANDLE IT FOR ME AND HIS OUTRIGHT LIES ! I'm done with his 💩 poop and nonsense ! Now the 5' bent over weeds are costing me another $270-$360 we're mid clearing BECAUSE they're no longer 2-3 inches and that's not down to dirt either, it's just so it doesn't look like a jungle. This is AFTER THE FIRST CLEARING that my 75 year old knees did.
How on earth could anyone do that to anyone, let alone to a 93 year old. I’m so glad you were there to help.
I'm a 40 year old tradesman and I love watching videos like this. Although they are bittersweet regarding the circumstances, it's nice to see other gentlemen care about what they do and help elderly who have been taken for a ride.
Thank you Robert for watching! It's so appreciated.. I know what you mean but she's all good now which Is great!
The fact you helped that lady restore confidence that there ARE good people out there, and then on top of that getting to hear your boys with the infectious laughter, really made my day! Thank you so much. 😃
If there were more people like y'all out there, the world would be a better place. Thank you for showing that it isn't about money, its about blessing people. Beautifully done. God bless you both.
The world needs more people like you! What’s bothering me is that they kept her at the door for 45 minutes and none of her neighbors noticed and tried to help?! She has a beautiful house and driveway!
House and land that size in England would probably be worth well over a million dollars US. The bustards definitely knew what areas to fleece
@Chris Sullivan lol wut? Unless everyone in America started speaking with an English accent and driving on the left hand side of the road I don't think so. It's clearly a detached bungalow house in a nice area of England. Even the road signs are British.
Or Australia ?
@@jcus300 Definitely not Australia, that's where I'm from. We have different street signs and markings and numberplates
Except other channels do this for free, and get paid by TH-cam views. This guy didn't even discount the sweet old lady while getting paid twice for this job. He lost my sub for being a greedy sob all the while pretending he's a Saint. Charged her probably close to 1k. Fk this channel.
You are the example I would use to teach the meaning of having pride in your work sir. I am so glad this randomly popped in my feed so glad to see people who do right by others and themselves.
Thank you for watching, by watching you are supporting my channel, subscribe for more content coming soon
@@FlawlessCleaningServices Already done and done thank you for doing what you do, the results definitely spoke for themselves sir!
Well done mate, even though I don’t know you or the old lady, you have my gratitude and prayers for you and your family. So glad there’s still proper gentlemen around like yourself.
Oh and btw, those kids are just too cute 🥰
Would've loved to see her reaction!
This is the type of wholesome story that shows there is yet hope out there!
Minus those scammers, you know what they say, what goes around comes around!
Great job again! Have you considered connecting with a local gardener team to do the massive trimming that this lady needs? I would like to see that beautiful green and blooming yard tidied up and get those branches off her house and trimmed back from the now spectacularly colorful stonework. Lawn/yard cleanup transformations are also quite satisfying to watch. She is still remarkably mobile and can now walk around her garden with a big smile on her face. I know I surely would be smiling. Love the endings with your happy, giggling, and squealing boys. Your drone shots showing your progress are great.
She actually asked me if I did gardening but I told her honestly that I didn’t have the experience and I didn’t have anyone that I could recommend. Thank you for watching and have a great evening
I wish Sid Partridge could help you with the garden.
Too bad the water can’t run off due to the pavers need to be edged and shrubs cut back. This will be back just like it was in a short time. So sad.
@@FlawlessCleaningServices did you ever go back to see if she found a landscaper?
I thought the same thing👍🏻❤️
I can imagine how thrilled she was to see her beautiful tilework restored!! It really elevated the whole property. Now attention goes to her wonderful plantings. Your children are so cute! Best wishes to you and your family!
Yes, I would have liked to see her reaction at after it was done!
Yo Ben! This is the second video I've watched tonight. The other was the Community Center you did with your dad. I have to say, you are a special person. You seem to love what you do and have a great time doing it. May the sun always shine on you and your family. Especially your parents for the unbelievable job they did in raising a noble man. The family ending is always that great little treat.
Thank you Bernie! Hope you enjoyed the videos, new one each week.. come join us on Feel Good Friday 😊
I'm following the same path haha
Your attention to detail matches that of the ones who installed the patio. Makes my heart happy! You are getting so many many smiles from each job!!
Thank you Cathy 😊
How people can con elderly out of their hard earned fund's is beyond me. I'm super happy that you won her trust over and gave her driveway and back yard a much needed pressure wash. The results were amazing and that grime line was huge.
The transformation was totally out of this world. Not only loved the stone layout but how her yard was laid out. Kudos to you. Awesome seeing you spending time at the park. That little one's laugh made my day. Again like a boss great job
How can they do it to anyone?
Unless those elderly were politicians, there is a high likely hood they were hard earned.
The sad reality of it is the elderly are easy to con/scam, for the most part.
My own aunt fell for an online scam where a "voodoo doctor" would communicate with her dead son if she sent him money, and she did... multiple times despite us telling her she was being scammed, but she was so hopeful to hear from her dead son again that she tuned us out.
And that kind of thing runs rampant, they're too trusting of random people.
@@PhunkieZero
To say nothing of the fact when they were our age, a person's word was their bond, and few would even _think_ of conning the elderly back in the 1930s, and '40s ...
Sad truth is they carry that inherent trust forward, which makes them especially vulnerable to being conned. This is why our elderly neighbours, no matter how cranky they are, should be watched over ...
@@stonynotdusty how are you to say an average working American that had most likely had to slave away to get their pay, hasn't earned their money
That is fabulous crazy paving, loving all the different colours and different types of paving and you made it look superb , nice video !
Thank you Chrissy! Really appreciate the kind words
Agreed!!! I love the pops of red and yellow! It makes it look so much more cool!
Chrissy wake up!
@@IanPlaysAlot Was I nodding off?
@@chrissygw4971 there’s this very, very popular tik tok sound right now from stranger things, you should look it up haha
This is only the second video I'm watching of yours mate, and I've already come to the conclusion that you're a true gent and excellent professional. Good job mate, and thanks for looking out for the elderly. All the best.
Your little Arthur is so cute, and so brave getting up onto the slide. His a cool little boy! Love the work you did on the patio and outside area of the ladies home.
The nerve of some people! Just despicable! It never fails to amaze me that those people don't realize that doing a good job will KEEP customers. Doing this whole "overwhelm them and demand payment upfront" crap is just awful!
Bless you for helping Mary and restoring her trust.
The end of this video is the most wholesome thing I've seen in ages! I miss when my kids were that little, enjoy it while you can. Every moment is precious. Mine are teenagers now and i get to do stuff like banish them from the kitchen at 2am when they attempt eating a 5th meal. I don't agree with not giving money upfront. As a small business owner I can't afford to get shafted on payment for a job and I've noticed especially in the pressure washing business people will have you come clean the house exterior, fences, and driveway, not pay then when you try to go after them the house has been sold and they've disappeared. Having to pay upfront is not always a scam sometimes it's just good sense.
Edit: I've never left a customer who didn't like the work I had done. I always have them come inspect that what I've done is to their satisfaction. That said I have run into people (not a lot admittedly it's a very small percentage) who will try to say I didn't do good work in order to get some or all of their money back. Luckily I document thoroughly the conditions of a property before I start working and take several photos after I finish and it all goes into a customer file along with information on the customer that is necessary and any notes good or bad I find prudent to enter.
This happened to my sweet Mum too, I arrived at her house to find all these zebra stripes on her driveway and she had paid them way too much, I ended up fixing it myself with my own water blaster. Thank you for helping our vulnerable people of our communities.
Thanks for helping that sweet lady. I pray someone shows you the same kindness when you're that old.
This is often such a sad situation with cold callers and elderly people, luckily enough my next-door neighbor is my mother-in-law and I do all her jetwashing for her, and she always tells the cold callers her son lives right next door and they tend to just leave her alone. Surprise, surprise lol. You have done a wonderful job once again Ben
I've never pressure washed anything but you make it look like something I'd like to do. So kind of you to help this lady. Your tea and chats probably meant just as much to her.
i bet the tight cow didnt pay him lol
@@rondonnis6588 Always assuming the worst like this does nothing to benefit you. Being cautious can be a good thing but this is just looking at the word in glasses grimy with shit. Enjoy your personal shit world.
@@rondonnis6588 the tight cow paid people who bullied her, she LOST money, & I'm pretty sure he's doing this out of kindness not profit you friggin rude imbecile 🤦♀️
@@brey1720 still had no thought to pay it though did she
It’s actually fun. I’m 72 and I do it
I'm not even from Europe, but found this channel useful. I know nothing at all about cleaning, so just SEEing what clean actually is is a massive help. Seeing the process, how it works, the tools involved really helps me know if its being done right, knowing what to expect.
Not sure how things work other parts of the world, but here, very few trademan will do the work before being paid, the risk for them not being paid is too high. So you end up having to pay a LOT more if you refuse to pay upfront, as the only ones who'll accept payment after charge a higher price.
Arthur is adorable counting,sliding,laughing . .!!your children are adorable!!😍Your job looks great!!That patio looks lovely👍👍👍😁
Ben your a top man mucka . Not many about these days . Respect to you
Thank you steve! These Jobs are so rewarding.
Hope you have a great weekend
Seriously, some people are just a**holes ... Thank you for stepping in and restoring the lady's faith in humanity! Smashing job as always!
How absolutely wonderful!! Not only are you a knight in shining armour, you are a fabulous Dad! Well done indeed.
Thank You for restoring this patio and the faith and trust that this woman lost by shoddy work. You do an absolutely wonderful job.
You worked SOOO HARD, bless you for doing that for her!! I can imagine she was over the moon when she saw her patio which I have to say was absolutely gorgeous!! You melted my heart when you were with your sons, beautiful boys!! You seem like a really lovely decent man, Great Job 👏👏👏
I agree, he worked hard to rectify a wrong done by some unscrupulous people. It would have been nice to see the homeowners reaction to the outstanding job he did.
@@KRoseB she probably wouldn’t enjoy that.
Sadly there are far too many dishonest "trademen" that are willing to take the hard earned, saved and limited funds of the elderly and blatantly do very little or low quality work in return.
Thankfully there are tradespeople like you out there who provide a value for money service and take pride in their work. Nice one.
congratulations on your 100,000 subscriptions , . i am so stoked to see young people who come out to do the right thing . thank you for your service to your community and restoring our faith in humanity ,,, keep up the good work son ,, you are kicking ass
I've seen so many companies PUSH senior citizens into buying their services, nonstop pushing and guilt tripping, I've seen it happen with my grandma and I always tell her to say no to those companies. I'm glad you were able to give her time and think about it for a while, that's what senior citizens really need, time so they can think about it, and I'm glad you haven't pushed or forced it on to her.
What a FABULOUS transformation! She has such beautiful pavement, and now it just sparkles! It’s a shame there are people out there trying to scam the elderly, especially elderly women alone. You have the most ADORABLE CHILDREN! They make me smile 😊
I’m so happy to see there are still honest tradesman still in the world!
IF the original cleaners had done what they should have, there would NOT be all that grime and filth.
The steps, patio, etc. looked so beautiful after you got thru! God Bless you!
People that cheat the elderly are despicable ! Really good of you to help out this lovely lady, must have restored her faith in humanity. Great work 👍
Great feeling isn't it, well done mate proud of you. I'm a tree surgeon and a landlord of a disabled little girls home wouldn't clean her back patio so j got my trusty pressure washer and did it for free, to see ghat little girl playing in her own garden was priceless. Keep up the great work buddy. From North Wales UK
Arthur’s outfit is gorgeous 🥰 and what a clever boy, counting the steps! Theo looks so happy 💜 loved this video and I would love to have that driveway/patio, it’s ace. So glad you were able to help Mary 😊
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
Your kids giggles are contagious. Awesome job on the clean up
The workmanship in those paved areas! Must have been such a joy to clean. Looks brilliant.
Honestly, I don't think people give enough credit to "honest" workers. The cowboys always ruin the day. Great work. Your morals and ethics have earned you a new subscriber. We need more people in todays society with a good heart.
I love Arthur at the park.... carefully walking up the wobbly ramp, makes it to the top....what a champ..... then falls over when he steps on the stable platform. So funny and cute.
You are the fabric of society. You don't know how much comfort and care you bring to the world with your services.
Thanks for giving this elderly individual some confidence back into a portion of humanity.
And good job on the cleaning that you did. 😊😊
Your boys make me smile so much. I feel old looking at little kids and missing when mine were that small. I’m only 41 but mine age now from 12-23 and it’s really cute hearing their little giggles.
Beautiful patio, and thank you for the restoration all over the place ..from her trust in humanity, to the beautiful patios. You're a good man!
What a transformation. You’ve given her such a pleasant environment, she must feel like she’s traveled back in time a bit. You broke away that grimy depression engulfing the whole property. God used you to give her a miracle. Bless you for doing the work.
Thank you Selah, I am donating a whole week In August to people In need so I look forward to sharing them with you
Your god created the people who shafted her.
Just found your channel. What a wonderful young man you are. Hardworking and conscientious in your work. You did an amazing job for this elderly lady, and have no doubt restored her faith in Tradesmen. Your little boys are just too cute, lovely to hear their laughter. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic job! It's so nice to know there are still people in this world like you to make a big difference in someone's life; especially the elderly who have been taken advantage of. May God bless you and your family. Your little boy is adorable, and you are a great dad!
Your sons are the absolute cutest! Fantastic job with the power washing too! I hope that lady was happy!
Appreciate the kind words thank you
Good on you 👍 I was a district nurse for years, working with lots of aged people, and this will make much more of a difference to her than you know after such a blow, top man 👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's so so sad how these cowboys act, especially how they attack the elderly, in their days things were done so so differently and paying upfront wasn't unheard of cos people had morels (don't get me wrong there were some who didn't but many did), so glad you helped her, love watching you do this kind of work 😊
Aww, Arthur's adorable 🤗
Well done for helping the lady, you're a good man 👍
This woman’s place is beautiful. The prettiest stone work I’ve seen. Thank you for giving her back her beautiful world to look at now.
Aw thanks Barbara, very kind words.. plenty more like this to come
Wow night and day difference! Bless you for helping those in need!
Thank you plenty of more videos to come so stick around
Everyone needs someone like you, especially the elderly or the vulnerable, I know exactly how this lady feels about struggling to maintain your home as a widow, I’m a pensioner and a widow too, bless your heart for giving her back her trust. ❤
Once you cleaned it those colors really popped. It’s such a beautiful patio and walkway. I love the look of it. Cleaning it off like that also makes it safer when it rains, snows or freezes. You’re making it safer and prettier.
Your boys are so precious.
What an amazing patio and driveway clean this was. I am so glad you could help her. As always you do your best.😃 The boys are growing up in front of our eyes. 😊
There are no words to explain the outstanding job you did and how many people you touched with this positive experience.
I really love the design of her patio! It’s beautiful! Thanks for helping her out.
Your boys are precious! So nice of you to do this for the elderly!
Your sons are adorable! I love that you make time for them after a hard days work…you are a great Dad! God Bless you and your beautiful family from Dallas, TX, USA
What a gorgeous crazy patchwork patio and yard, loved the colours, no wonder you were delighted with the result.
Arthur counting- love him, growing so fast 🥰
I wish there were more people like you in this world! I love watching your videos. Your community is very lucky to have you. And, you family times at the end are precious! God bless you.
What a beautiful soul! I lost both sets of grandparents and I’d “adopted” my next door was a grandfather but he also passed away last week. Elderly people are precious and I’ll never tire of hearing their stories. We need more people like you!
I agree, I think it's because most generally have no ego, almost like a kid with a lot more wisdom.
Absolutely amazing job! So nice of you. Not only did you restore her patio, you restored her faith in mankind.
Absolutely amazed at your work Ben you do arealy good job and ithink u for allowing us to meet your loverlly family how proud u are of them and how proud they are of u god blessu all Rita Liverpool
Wow, Arthur is a bright little spark, can count to seven already. 💕
Could you show more of the home owners reaction once its finished? Must say she has gorgeous stonework there, bet they don't make them like that anymore.
The ending with your children is just as good as being of service to the lady. ❤
